The visible activity level should be weighted above download numbers, at least in my experience with legit dating apps.
Having tried a fair few, I would say what the free tier actually allows is the real question when it comes to legit dating apps.
I would check whether account deletion on legit dating apps is configurable at all before committing any time to legit dating apps.
If we're talking legit dating apps, what the free tier actually allows is the real question.
Worth a look if you want a comparison point — Datelink handled legit dating apps better than I expected.
