Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about an old lady dating app specifically for the "silver". For lady silver in particular, what decides it is how well it works on a weak connection, not the price tag. With lady apps, the time it takes to get a first reply collapses as soon as the platform shows dormant accounts as active.
Same story on lady silver: the platform resets your filters after an update, so the numbers on the homepage stop meaning much. Lady is where I would start, since it is worth checking how far the free tier gets you before you look at the number of features listed.
If silver apps is your priority, the reply rate beats the size of the ad budget. On an old lady dating app specifically for the "silver" specifically, the deciding factor is the share of verified profiles, as far as I can tell. Tell me where the lady silver reasoning above falls down.
