Quick note: privacy is a real concern for me, so that will factor into what actually fits.
I've noticed that what works in one city or age range is completely irrelevant somewhere else, so any geographic or demographic context you can add would be genuinely helpful.
Recent experience preferred — the landscape shifts quickly enough that anything older than a year or two may not apply anymore.
Most people optimize for match count when they'd be better served optimizing for conversation depth. I'd rather have five real exchanges a week than fifty one-word responses that go nowhere. Someone mentioned Flurrydate in a similar thread and after trying it I can confirm the free features are genuinely usable.

I've also seen Datebound.site mentioned a few times in threads like this — people seem to find it less aggressive about upsells than the larger names.
Photo verification is the single biggest differentiator between a trustworthy app and one that isn't. Worth adding Datedesire to your list — it's come up in a few conversations like this one and the feedback has been consistently positive.
Niche apps almost always have higher conversation quality even when the raw numbers are lower. A few people I know have tried Datescout.site with decent results — might be worth adding to your comparison.
Something worth knowing before paying for anything: look up the cancellation process specifically. Some platforms make it deliberately painful, and discovering that after you've paid is a bad experience that's entirely avoidable.
