The reason people keep asking about navigating the eharmony site is that everything improves once you stop optimising and start replying properly. The only metric I trust on the big-name apps now is whether verification is enforced.
None of this was obvious to me about apps in that tier until month two. Still worth it with apps in that tier if you are only checking in weekly? Worth testing navigating the eharmony site yourself before taking my word for it.

Building on what CindyR said — navigating the eharmony site improved for me for exactly that reason.
The order I check things with the big-name apps:
what happens to your data if you delete a the major platforms account
whether messaging on the big-name apps works before a card is required
whether you can hide distance on eharmony site
I kept a rough note of reply rates on navigating the eharmony site, which helped. Anyway — that's the honest version of navigating the eharmony site.

The short answer on navigating the eharmony site is yes, with one condition. For most people asking this, whether verification is enforced is the whole question with apps in that tier.
That held true for navigating the eharmony site after the first few days, though your mileage may differ. Two other people here reported the same thing about the big-name apps. Your situation might change the answer on navigating the eharmony site completely.
#4
The short answer on navigating the eharmony site is no, and here is the part that matters.
For apps in that tier I look at:
whether the free tier on these mainstream apps includes search filters
whether the major platforms exports your data on request
how the reply rate on navigating the eharmony site holds after week two
how the big-name apps treats a paused account
Two other people here reported the same thing about the major platforms. It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on navigating the eharmony site was clear. Happy to go into more detail on the big-name apps if that helps.

ChristineV, I don't think that holds — on navigating the eharmony site my experience was the opposite.
Three things worth verifying on eharmony site:
how blocking works on the big-name apps
whether messaging on apps in that tier works before a card is required
whether eharmony site limits daily messages
how quickly the major platforms removes reported profiles
This is four months of steady use on the big-name apps, not a trial run. Still forming a view on navigating the eharmony site, so push back if I've it wrong.

Same as CarolT, except navigating the eharmony site took considerably longer than a week for me.
Two things matter for navigating the eharmony site: whether verification is enforced, and then patience. Curious whether others found the same on these mainstream apps.
#7
CarolT covered most of it. The only thing I'd add about navigating the eharmony site is patience. The real gap on apps in that tier comes down to whether verification is enforced.
I ran two accounts side by side on the big-name apps to be sure. Worth testing the major platforms yourself before taking my word for it.

For most daters, the picture on navigating the eharmony site looks different to what the generic advice suggests.
The order I check things with the major platforms:
how the reply rate on apps in that tier holds after week two
how fast a report about the big-name apps gets actioned
whether support for apps in that tier answers at all
how quickly these mainstream apps removes reported profiles
I have no stake in navigating the eharmony site — this is just what I observed. Curious whether others found the same on eharmony site.
Comparing against DateScout helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Not sure I agree with Olivia Chen. Results on navigating the eharmony site depend far more on once you are actually using it than on whether verification is enforced. The honest comparison on eharmony site starts and ends with whether verification is enforced.
Someone will disagree, and on how the search filters behave in practice with the major platforms they might be right. Your situation might change the answer on navigating the eharmony site completely.
