Would appreciate real experience on tried alt friendfinder, not affiliate copy. Friendfinder platforms is where I would start, since how often the same faces reappear matters more than the number of features listed, at least on my account. The alt friendfinder case is instructive — how quickly the inbox fills is worth more than the price tag.
With alt platforms, it is worth checking how well it works on a weak connection before you look at star ratings from strangers. For friendfinder platforms in particular, most of the disappointment traces back to how many first messages actually land.
Applied to friendfinder platforms, the platform quietly widens your distance setting, which is why the free tier feels dead after a week. Tried alt friendfinder looks simple until you notice that the deciding factor is the reply rate, going by the last year or so. Anyone who has tested alt platforms properly, please weigh in.
