What are the most trusted dating sites in the industry right now?

Not looking for a sales pitch, just experience: most trusted dating sites in the industry right now.

What makes dating sites hard to judge is that everyone's experience seems to depend heavily on where they live.

Setting industry aside for a second, this is what I need from dating sites:

• How the industry experience on dating sites compares month to month
• Whether anyone has tested industry properly on dating sites
• What the industry side of dating sites looks like in practice

Particularly interested in the industry side of dating sites if anyone has been there.

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

Test industry first, because it tells you more about dating sites than any feature comparison will.

I keep Rendate open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

Someone recommended the Ezhookups free tier to me during my own search around dating sites and it was better than I expected.

The industry disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

I gave up on dating sites twice before it worked, and the difference the third time was being far more specific in my bio.

My own run at dating sites: three months, two platforms, and one relationship that lasted about a year — small sample, but real.

I've also seen Flamedate.online mentioned in this context more than once.
