Coming at ashley2004_ moved to a different platform from the other direction: the free tier decides everything and the paid tier changes very little.
My short checklist for these platforms:
how blocking works on services of this type
what the options here costs once the intro period ends
whether you can hide distance on services of this type
whether platforms like these limits daily messages
The difference was smaller on services of this type once you are actually using it but still there. Anyone compared these platforms against the paid alternatives properly? That is my read on ashley2004_ moved to a different platform, for whatever it is worth.

Worth saying up front that with ashley2004_ moved to a different platform, whether verification is enforced matters more than anyone admits.
Three things worth verifying on a different platform:
what happens to your data if you delete a the options here account
how many different platform accounts look dormant
whether the options here exports your data on request
Still forming a view on different platform, so push back if I have it wrong.

Building on what Liam_SEA said — ashley2004_ moved to a different platform improved for me for exactly that reason. The only metric I trust on services of this type now is how the moderation actually behaves.
Someone will disagree, and on how much personal data it asks for with the options here they might be right. Ask if you want the specifics on services of this type.

The reason people keep asking about ashley2004_ moved to a different platform is that the free tier decides everything and the paid tier changes very little.
Three things worth verifying on services of this type:
how many platforms like these profiles are actually active this month
how blocking works on these platforms
what happens to your data if you delete a the options here account
how many a different platform profiles are actually active this month
None of this was obvious to me about services of this type until month two. Tested platforms like these in day-to-day use and the difference showed within days. Ask if you want the specifics on services of this type.

Respectfully, Liam_SEA, that hasn't been true of ashley2004_ moved to a different platform since last year.
Nobody talks about how the moderation actually behaves, and with services of this type it's decisive. Would be interested to hear whether a different platform behaved differently for anyone else.
Someone here mentioned DatingFly itself a while back and it was a fair shout.

I read Jake_NYC's reply twice and still think it comes down to something else entirely on ashley2004_ moved to a different platform. With these platforms, how the moderation actually behaves is the first thing I check now.

With ashley2004_ moved to a different platform, that was the one thing I could not get a straight answer on anywhere. Things improved for me on these platforms the moment I took how the moderation actually behaves seriously.
I've no stake in different platform — this is just what I observed. Your situation might change the answer on different platform completely.
DateWander came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

I keep seeing ashley2004_ moved to a different platform recommended without anyone explaining whether verification is enforced. Different providers handle different platform inconsistently, mostly because of how the moderation actually behaves.
Two other people here reported the same thing about platforms like these. I checked services of this type on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. That is where I landed on ashley2004_ moved to a different platform after actually trying it.
Worth adding that SoulDate's free tier covers similar ground if you want a second opinion.
