Is the free cam 4 premium upgrade actually worth the monthly fee?

Third time I've tried to get a straight answer on free cam 4 premium upgrade actually worth the monthly fee. The honest test for premium upgrade is what happens after you block someone at the times you actually log in, not the feature list.

Where I get stuck with premium upgrade is that the last honest write-up is two years old, which is why I want firsthand accounts. The thing that decides it for premium upgrade is whether you can hide distance and last-active once you are past sign-up.

The rough checklist I use for premium upgrade after a few false starts:

• Time whether last-active timestamps look plausible using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Work out whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out at the hour you would actually be using it
• Compare whether last-active timestamps look plausible against one platform you already trust
• Pin down whether last-active timestamps look plausible on the first evening, not the first month

If you tried premium upgrade and moved on, what did the review sites get wrong? Good and bad both welcome. Actual numbers settle this better than anything else.

Adding to @Harper King rather than arguing — premium upgrade varies more than either of us said. My rule with premium upgrade: whether messaging is open or gated behind credits outside the big cities first, everything else second. what Datedesire is doing came up in a similar thread last month.

If you're evaluating premium upgrade, start with how many accounts are real — everything else follows.

Worked for me on premium upgrade, and I would be glad to hear others found different.

Honest take: premium upgrade has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. For premium upgrade, whether you can hide distance and last-active once you are past sign-up is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening. I cross-checked against the Datingfly community before deciding anything.

That's the honest picture of premium upgrade and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

Honest take: premium upgrade works, but not the way the marketing implies. Anyone comparing premium upgrade should be looking at what the onboarding asks for before anything else. Someone here pointed me at the Datenest community and it held up better than expected.

You can ignore most of the marketing around premium upgrade and just check whether the profiles hold up under scrutiny outside the big cities.

That's what six weeks of premium upgrade taught me — happy to be argued with.

My read: premium upgrade surprised me, though not immediately. Two weeks in, what the reporting tools actually do day to day is what actually mattered for premium upgrade. luvdate.site came up in the same search and behaved similarly.

What nobody mentions about premium upgrade is what privacy controls exist outside the big cities.

Worked for me on premium upgrade, though clearly it varies by region.

Disagree with @AidenG on premium upgrade. The version of premium upgrade I used had none of that. Where premium upgrade falls down for me is how much of the traffic is automated once you are past sign-up. datelink.online landed in much the same place.

That's where I've landed on premium upgrade, for whatever that's worth.

@Lucas I do not think that is right about premium upgrade — at least not everywhere. I judge premium upgrade almost entirely on what happens after you block someone. I ran the same test on a look at Souldate and got a cleaner result.

The only metric I trust with premium upgrade is what the reporting tools actually do.

That's how premium upgrade went for me, and I'd be glad to hear others found different.

Counterpoint to @Brady Bennett: premium upgrade got noticeably worse after the last redesign. Anyone comparing premium upgrade should be looking at how much you can do before being asked to upgrade before anything else. People keep recommending what Rendate is doing; it is at least worth ten minutes.

That's my read on premium upgrade and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.
