Been asked about sec chat roulette enough times offline that I may as well write it here.
The order I check things with these chat services:
how fast a report about these chat services gets actioned
how fast a report about sec chat gets actioned
how many the chat side of this accounts look dormant
whether photos on services like this can be limited to matches only
That held true for sec chat once you're actually using it, though your mileage may differ. Someone will disagree, and on what happens when you try to cancel with sec chat they might be right. Did anyone else find what happens when you try to cancel got worse recently on messaging platforms of this type? I will update this if sec chat roulette shifts again.

TerrenceB covered most of it. The only thing I'd add about sec chat roulette is patience. My rule with sec chat is simple — check whether the free tier includes messaging before you register.
Anyone compared the chat side of this against the paid alternatives properly? That's everything useful I've on services like this.
#3
Hard disagree with TerrenceB on this one. whether verification is enforced is the part people overrate with sec chat roulette.
My short checklist for sec chat:
how the reply rate on services like this holds after week two
whether messaging platforms of this type limits daily messages
whether these chat services exports your data on request
how the messaging platforms of this type feed changes after the first week
That is everything useful I have on the chat side of this.

I'd frame sec chat roulette differently to how the question is worded. For anyone weighing up these chat services, whether the free tier includes messaging is the tiebreaker.
This is four months of steady use on sec chat, not a trial run. Anyway — that's the honest version of sec chat roulette.
#5
I went round in circles on sec chat roulette before anything clicked. I'd judge these chat services entirely on whether the free tier includes messaging and ignore the rest.
Tested messaging platforms of this type once you're actually using it and the difference showed within days. The effect was more noticeable on the chat side of this once you're actually using it than I expected. Happy to go into more detail on the chat side of this if that helps.
Rendate came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

Miranda covered most of it. The only thing I'd add about sec chat roulette is patience.
What decided it for me with services like this was whether the free tier includes messaging. Curious whether others found the same on these chat services.

Hard disagree with Jordan on this one. whether verification is enforced is the part people overrate with sec chat roulette. The real gap on the chat side of this comes down to whether the free tier includes messaging.
It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on messaging platforms of this type was clear. Curious whether others found the same on these chat services.

The honest answer on sec chat roulette is that the price isn't the cost — the wasted evenings are. Half the confusion around sec chat disappears once you separate whether the free tier includes messaging from the marketing. It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on messaging platforms of this type was clear.
Someone will disagree, and on what happens when you try to cancel with these chat services they might be right. Has anyone tried messaging platforms of this type outside a major city? Ask if you want the specifics on sec chat.

Anyone comparing sec chat roulette should start with how much personal data it asks for, not with feature lists.
Nobody talks about whether the free tier includes messaging, and with the chat side of this it is decisive. I will update this if sec chat roulette shifts again.
If you want a lighter-weight option, Turndate is worth a look.
