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

I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: currently the biggest dating apps by active monthly users globally.

The biggest question keeps getting skipped in everything written about dating apps.

My own attempt at dating apps lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps.

The short list of what I need from dating apps:

• Whether biggest makes any material difference to dating apps
• Whether anyone has tested biggest properly on dating apps
• What the biggest side of dating apps looks like in practice
• Whether biggest is worth prioritising over everything else in dating apps

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

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

Depends heavily on biggest — take that out and dating apps becomes a much easier call.

If you go down the dating apps route, screenshot anything that looks like a scam before you report it.

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

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

DerekW has a point about dating apps. Watch for the pattern where dating apps is free to browse and paid to reply, which is very common now.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Turndate free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of dating apps for me last year.

Good thread — most discussion of dating apps online is astroturfed, so this is refreshing.

Flamedate is what I ended up using while working through dating apps — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

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

Agree with the framing here, because dating apps really does come down to who is active near you.

Someone will probably mention Rendate.site before this thread is done.
