The honest answer on tips on how to use the zoosk features without paying for coins is that you're choosing a userbase, not choosing an app.
Three things worth verifying on these mainstream apps:
how quickly apps in that tier removes reported profiles
whether you can hide distance on apps in that tier
how the the major platforms feed changes after the first week
how fast a report about apps in that tier gets actioned
That held true for the big-name apps in day-to-day use, though your mileage may differ. Would be interested to hear whether the big-name apps behaved differently for anyone else.
Comparing against LuvDate helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Three things worth verifying on the big-name apps:
whether the big-name apps limits daily messages
whether these mainstream apps lets you filter by intent

whether the free tier on apps in that tier includes search filters

Worth a look at LuvDate if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

Hard disagree with CindyR on this one. whether verification is enforced is the part people overrate with tips on how to use the zoosk features without paying for coins. My rule with the big-name apps is simple — check how much personal data it asks for before you register.
Anyone found whether the userbase is active in your area handled well anywhere in the big-name apps? Anyway — that is the honest version of tips on how to use the zoosk features without paying for coins.
