Is there a polyamorous dating app free for unicorns?

Been quietly reading for a while, but a polyamorous dating app free for unicorns is the thing I actually need an answer on. Everything I have read about polyamorous skips straight past surprise billing.

I am coming at this from no-payment dating sites, so adjust if that changes your answer. I judge polyamorous by one thing now: whether the trial that quietly renews improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

What would actually help me judge polyamorous:

• Photos with other people in them do worse on polyamorous than you would guess
• Test the paywall on polyamorous deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix the paywall on polyamorous; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; polyamorous activity is nothing like flat
• Ask people who have actually tried it what polyamorous is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

I will report back on a polyamorous dating app free for unicorns once I have tried whatever gets recommended.

Disagree, because blaming locked messaging lets you off the hook — my polyamorous results improved when my profile did. Nobody warns you that the upgrade nag on polyamorous scales with how many people are online at your hours.

Most of the noise about polyamorous comes from people measuring the pay-to-see-likes trick over far too short a window. Happy to answer follow-ups on polyamorous if that helps.
