What are currently the biggest dating apps by active monthly users?

Posting this because searching for an answer on dating apps turns up nothing but sponsored lists.

The frustrating part about dating apps is that the honest answers are buried in comment sections, not articles.

What would actually change my mind about dating apps:

• What the biggest side of dating apps looks like in practice
• Whether biggest is the reason dating apps feels inconsistent
• How the biggest experience on dating apps compares month to month
• Whether anyone has tested biggest properly on dating apps
• How dating apps treats biggest once you stop paying

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

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

If you are testing dating apps, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.

I keep the Ezhookups community open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating apps.

For dating apps, log in at a consistent time each evening, because activity windows matter more than people think.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on dating apps are more use than any ranked list.

Adding the Datewander threads to the pile for dating apps, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Picking up what ChloeW99 said — dating apps is regional first. The biggest element is where people get stung with dating apps, so check it before anything else.

I've also seen Datenest.site mentioned in this context more than once.
