Are there genuinely no payment dating apps?

I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: genuinely no payment dating apps.

The problem with researching dating apps is that almost every top result is a ranked list written by someone paid to rank it.

Concretely, for dating apps, these are my criteria:

• Whether anyone has tested payment properly on dating apps
• Whether dating apps has real users outside the big metros
• What happens to your data if you delete a dating apps account

Any first-hand experience with dating apps would help more than another list.

I keep Datingfly itself open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating apps.

Ran into exactly the payment problem when I tried dating apps last year, and it took weeks to work around.

The payment variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating apps.

Disagree on one point: dating apps is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

For anyone else researching dating apps, I would put the Datescout forums on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

For context on dating apps: I'm mid-thirties, mid-size city, and the pool was thinner than the marketing suggested.

You've put your finger on the thing nobody says out loud about dating apps.

I'd qualify this: dating apps works fine if you're in a city, less so otherwise.

Since we're comparing options around dating apps, the Flamedate threads came up when I was looking at the same thing.

The payment disagreement in this thread says more about dating apps than any single answer.
