Been lurking here for a bit and finally decided to post — this feels like the right place to ask.
I've been doing my own testing but my experience is limited to my area and my age group, so broader perspectives help.
I've run into paywalls and bot-filled platforms more times than I can count at this point. Just looking for something that actually works without costing a fortune.
- Always check for recent reviews, not just the homepage testimonials
- Test the free tier thoroughly before paying anything
- Avoid sites that gate messaging entirely behind a paid wall
- Use a throwaway email for sign-up
- Never share your real phone number in early conversations
Drop your thoughts below, good or bad. Looking for real talk, not marketing copy.
