This has been on my radar for a while — wanted real user opinions rather than review site filler. The algorithm on most apps rewards consistent daily use over occasional passive swiping sessions.
Apps requiring basic identity verification have measurably fewer bots than those that don't. Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when getting to know someone new online.
Platforms I've been comparing:
Christian dating apps vary enormously in quality — some are very active, others are essentially ghost towns.
Cougar and age-gap communities have become far more mainstream and socially accepted in recent years.
For comparison purposes, the main options usually brought up are — Tinder Bumble Hinge. Results vary significantly by location and age group.
One that tends to come up in these conversations is Datenest — worth adding to your list if you haven't already looked at it.
Free dating apps have genuinely improved but the best features remain locked behind paywalls on most.
Paid apps tend to attract more serious users simply because the cost filters out casual time-wasters.

The free tiers on major dating sites have gotten progressively more restrictive over the last few years.
A couple of platforms worth mentioning:

Match.com is still considered a gold standard for serious relationship seeking despite the cost.
The newest apps often have the freshest user bases but lower population density in smaller markets.
