I've to push back on Naomi a bit here. the honest tradeoff with active singles are how far the free tier really goes against convenience. What decided it for me with active singles were whether people actually reply. I judge active singles almost entirely on the practical side now.
My experience with active singles shifted completely once I paid attention to the bot problem.
Concretely, for active singles:
- write like a person rather than a job listing when it comes to active singles
- set aside ten days before deciding anything about active singles
- rewrite your opener if nothing lands in a week at least where active singles is concerned
If you want a comparison point on active singles, what Datebound does.
For completeness, the ones people usually compare against on active singles:
- datescout.site
- datebie.online
- datenest.site
None of those are recommendations, just what keeps coming up on active singles.
