If you are asking about sites like camwhores because of what the reply rate looks like after week one, the answer changes. The reason people end up disappointed by these sites is whether the userbase is active in your area.
None of this was obvious to me about the sites in question until month two. Anyone found what happens when you try to cancel handled well anywhere in the sites in question? Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on sites like camwhores.

Every recommendation for sites like camwhores I've seen ignores people in this situation.
None of this works with sites of this type unless you're patient about whether the userbase is active in your area. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on sites of this type.

Same as Liam_SEA, except sites like camwhores took considerably longer than a week for me. The honest comparison on these sites starts and ends with whether the userbase is active in your area.
Any difference with these sites on Android, or was that just me? Ask if you want the specifics on the sites in question.

Building on what BrittanyK said — sites like camwhores improved for me for exactly that reason. My rule with sites of this type is simple — check whether the userbase is active in your area before you register.
Two other people here reported the same thing about sites of this type. I checked sites of this type on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. Happy to go into more detail on sites of this type if that helps.
Worth a look at DateDesire if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

Not sure I agree with NicoleS. Results on sites like camwhores depend far more on after the first few days than on how the moderation actually behaves. None of this works with platforms like these unless you're patient about whether the userbase is active in your area.
The difference was smaller on the sites in question in day-to-day use but still there. How long did these sites take before anyone here got a real reply? Still forming a view on these sites, so push back if I've it wrong.
Comparing against DateWander itself helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

If you're asking about sites like camwhores because of whether the userbase is active in your area, the answer changes. The real gap on the sites in question comes down to whether the userbase is active in your area.
This is four months of steady use on platforms like these, not a trial run. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on platforms like these.
I keep DatingFly as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Liam_SEA — that was my assumption too, and testing sites like camwhores properly changed my mind. All of this makes more sense once you accept that whether the userbase is active in your area varies wildly across these sites.
The effect was more noticeable on platforms like these in day-to-day use than I expected. That held true for platforms like these once you're actually using it, though your mileage may differ. Would be interested to hear whether sites of this type behaved differently for anyone else.
Comparing against the Datebie community helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

I keep seeing sites like camwhores recommended without anyone explaining whether the userbase is active in your area.
For platforms like these I look at:
what a platforms like these trial converts to, and when
whether support for the sites in question answers at all
whether verification on these sites is enforced or merely offered
Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on sites of this type.
Someone here mentioned DateLink a while back and it was a fair shout.

Ran into sites like camwhores last autumn and the situation has already shifted. I stopped comparing feature lists on platforms like these and started comparing whether the userbase is active in your area.
This is four months of steady use on platforms like these, not a trial run. The effect was more noticeable on the sites in question once you are actually using it than I expected. That is my read on sites like camwhores, for whatever it is worth.
For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with Rendate.
The only way to settle sites like camwhores is to try it — and trying it costs nothing.
