Honestly, this got easier than expected once you're choosing a userbase, not choosing an app — at least with gay chat random. Nobody talks about whether moderation does anything, and with gay chat it's decisive.
I ran two accounts side by side on the chat side of this to be sure. Worth testing gay chat random yourself before taking my word for it.

What surprised me about gay chat random was how much after the first few days mattered.
What I check before committing to services like this:
how blocking works on gay chat
whether you can hide distance on the chat side of this
whether messaging platforms of this type exports your data on request
what a messaging platforms of this type trial converts to, and when
I checked these chat services on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. I have no stake in the chat side of this — this is just what I observed. That is my read on gay chat random, for whatever it is worth.
Comparing against DatingFly itself helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

The honest answer on gay chat random is that the onboarding flow tells you exactly how the company plans to monetise you. Different providers handle the chat side of this inconsistently, mostly because of whether moderation does anything.
Tested these chat services once you're actually using it and the difference showed within days. Still forming a view on gay chat, so push back if I've it wrong.

Nick_MIA, that is fair for same-sex daters, but it plays out differently on gay chat random for everyone else. Two things matter for gay chat: whether moderation does anything, and then patience.
Worth noting that these chat services changed after their last update. Ask if you want the specifics on gay chat.
I keep DateScout as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Tried gay chat random across three different phones and the results were not consistent.
The order I check things with messaging platforms of this type:
whether you can hide distance on these chat services
how quickly gay chat removes reported profiles
how fast a report about messaging platforms of this type gets actioned
what these chat services costs once the intro period ends
That held true for messaging platforms of this type once you are actually using it, though your mileage may differ. Your situation might change the answer on gay chat completely.
Going to push back slightly on how gay chat random usually gets described.
All of this makes more sense once you accept that whether moderation does anything varies wildly across messaging platforms of this type. Anyway — that's the honest version of gay chat random.
For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with the DatingFly community.

Pushing back on TerrenceB: how much of the userbase is real isn't the deciding factor with gay chat random, reach is. Everything I got wrong about the chat side of this traced back to whether moderation does anything.
The difference was smaller on the chat side of this once you're actually using it but still there. Still forming a view on services like this, so push back if I've it wrong.

Two years on messaging platforms and gay chat random still catches me out.
What nobody said about gay chat is that whether moderation does anything changes month to month. Would be interested to hear whether these chat services behaved differently for anyone else.
Comparing against the DatingFly community helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Spencer_DAL has this backwards in my view: with gay chat random, how much of the userbase is real is the symptom, not the cause.
The order I check things with messaging platforms of this type:
how the reply rate on services like this holds after week two
whether these chat services limits daily messages
how the messaging platforms of this type feed changes after the first week
what a these chat services trial converts to, and when
Your situation might change the answer on gay chat random completely.
