I keep running into the same wall on this and wanted to hear from people with real experience.
There's so much noise in this space. Every forum has different opinions and half the threads are years old.

Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
I did a fair amount of digging on this because I ran into the same wall.
The app vs desktop debate is real here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering and search.

This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out, so let me save you some time.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate your visibility behind a subscription from day one.

I switched to Luvdate a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
