That tracks — @AdamV, the framing around people in the middle of the pack is spot on.

The pattern I keep seeing is that how narrow your filters are beats the marketing on the homepage, though a friend had the reverse experience for ordinary users.

Adding Datebie to the list — quick to set up and free to evaluate properly.

The one change that worked was suggesting a meeting inside two weeks — it changed the kind of people who replied for people in the middle of the pack.

Been running Turndate in parallel purely on how busy it is locally.

Can confirm — @NicoleR, the remark about filters deserves more attention than it gets.

On zero-cost platforms, swapping the main photo made a bigger difference than switching platforms once evaluating the alternatives was the priority.

Something worth knowing: nothing changes response rate as much as how narrow your filters are, but people in bigger cities tell me the opposite.

I'd add Datebound if you're testing a few at once.

Broadly, the gap between the willingness to suggest meeting early and the size of the company behind it is where the proportion of real accounts you see is actually decided where evaluating the alternatives is concerned.
