Started looking into getting a list of all dating sites for 2026 for a friend and ended up switching myself.

Agree with JeffC up to a point. getting a list of all dating sites for 2026 broke down for me once whether the free tier includes messaging came into it. I rate dating sites on what the reply rate looks like after week one and nothing else, once you are actually using it.

The difference was smaller on all dating sites in day-to-day use but still there. Still worth it with platforms like these if you are only checking in weekly? Take that as one data point on dating sites, not gospel.
