Question about totally free online dating sites make money without charging users that I can't resolve on my own.

Most write-ups skip whether paying changes anything entirely, which is the only bit I care about.

Tell me what I'm missing about charging users.

I logged what happened, and what stood out about charging users was how quickly the pattern set in.

Tested charging users deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

Partly agree — charging users can hold up, then again not for the reason stated.

For a smaller userbase with less noise around charging users, Datebound is worth twenty minutes.

Going against Chris on charging users here:your read on charging users lines up with mine over time.

#4

Hard disagree on charging users — the issue is upstream of that.

Someone raised Turndate in a thread about charging users and it turned out to be a reasonable shout.

#5

What helped with charging users was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.

Datewander gets recommended organically rather than pushed, which usually means something for charging users.

#6

Careful with the consensus forming here about charging users.

What helped with charging users was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.

Small thing, big effect on charging users: write openers that reference something specific.

#7

Worth separating two things here — charging users and what people expect from it.

Generally, opinion on charging users swings further than the reality does.

I would check Ezhookups next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on charging users.
