Is there a christian dating app that doesn't push expensive premium subscriptions?

Curious where people land on a christian dating app that doesn't push expensive premium subscriptions, because I keep getting told two opposite things. What I care about with subscriptions is the paywall more than anything else.

Most of my experience is with no-payment dating sites, which may be why I am stuck. Nobody warns you that the pay-to-see-likes trick on subscriptions scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The parts of subscriptions I keep getting stuck on:

• Block early and report often on subscriptions — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Screenshot anything odd on subscriptions before you report it — locked messaging claims need evidence
• Ask Christian members what subscriptions is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

Even a one-line answer on a christian dating app that doesn't push expensive premium subscriptions would help at this point.

Seconding this, because on subscriptions the honest answer is that the point where it starts charging varies enormously by area. What changed my results on subscriptions was treating a free tier that's not free as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

I keep two accounts running to compare the trial that quietly renews across free dating apps, and subscriptions sits mid-table. The thing people underrate about subscriptions is how much the trial that quietly renews depends on your own city. That is my read on subscriptions, and others here clearly disagree.

My subscriptions baseline these days is Datenest, mostly because the point where it starts charging is measurable there.

Respectfully no — complaints about surprise billing on subscriptions usually come from people who gave it a week. The pattern I see with subscriptions is that the pay-to-see-likes trick is fine early and degrades as you go.

For believers looking for the same, the subscriptions experience lives or dies on surprise billing and almost nothing else. Not saying subscriptions suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

Broadly agree on subscriptions — the point where it starts charging was what decided it for me too. Most of the noise about subscriptions comes from people measuring a free tier that's not free over far too short a window.

I judge subscriptions by one thing now: whether locked messaging improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. Most of the noise about subscriptions comes from people measuring the point where it starts charging over far too short a window.

If you want a second data point on subscriptions, Rendate is the one I run alongside it.

That has not been my experience of subscriptions, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread. For faith-first daters, the subscriptions experience lives or dies on surprise billing and almost nothing else.

I read Ryan84's reply on subscriptions and agreed, although with subscriptions I would frame the upgrade nag as a symptom rather than the cause.

There is no version of subscriptions where the upgrade nag sorts itself out without you doing something.
