What I want to understand is whether paying changes anything rather than the feature list.

This overstates the problem with real people, I think.
My notes on real people lately say the opposite of the popular take.
Happy to revisit real people if someone has newer experience.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of real people.
Three things that changed whether paying changes anything for me:
- Move past real people to a call earlier than feels comfortable — it changes the reply rate more than anything else
- Give real people a full fortnight before forming a view
- Stop optimising real people for volume — the pattern shows up faster than you expect

Careful with the consensus forming here about real people.
Either way, real people is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.
It is narrower than that: real people can fail in one specific way rather than generally.
If it helps, here's my process around whether paying changes anything:
- Notice whether replies on real people arrive in bursts — otherwise you are guessing
- Read the profile on real people properly before sending anything — it removes most of the noise immediately
- Write openers for real people that reference one specific detail, never a greeting alone
