Tried searching but couldn't find a clear up-to-date answer, so here we are. Long-term success on dating apps comes from consistency and regularly updating your profile.

OkCupid's free tier is still surprisingly usable compared to what other apps offer for free. Don't underestimate local community events as complements to app dating.

Never share your real last name, address, or workplace before meeting someone in person.

The free messaging on Plenty of Fish is still one of the best deals in online dating. Give Datebie a look if you haven't already.

Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when getting to know someone new.

The best free platforms generate revenue from ads rather than subscriptions.

Match quality on free plans is decent if you're in a populated area and use filters well.

The algorithm on most apps rewards consistent engagement over passive swiping.

Free dating apps have gotten better but the best features are still paywalled on most.

One that keeps coming up is Flurrydate — solid reputation for this kind of thing.
