Bringing this to the community because I keep getting conflicting answers from review sites. Is there a little people dating app that is active? — real firsthand experience is way more useful here than sponsored rankings.
The specific things I'm trying to figure out:

Honest answer after doing my own research: Datebie stands out because it doesn't treat the free tier like a dead end. Real conversations happen there and the fake profile situation is better managed than on most platforms I've tried.
The thing comparison articles miss is that free and paid apps attract genuinely different mindsets. People who pay are generally more invested in making something happen. That doesn't mean paid is always better — the user base still has to match your demographic first.
If budget is a constraint, the move is to use free apps with the same intentionality as paid ones. Quality profile, selective outreach, specific openers. That combination outperforms a half-hearted paid subscription most of the time.
Just finished a two-month comparison of free platforms and Turndate came out near the top. Consistent user activity, functional free messaging, and no surprise charges. It's not glamorous but it works.
The landscape has shifted a lot. What worked two years ago doesn't always work now. Currently datelink.online is the one I'd point someone to first — honest free tier, decent profile quality, active enough to be worth the effort.
The platform matters, but it matters less than most people think. Profile quality, photo selection, and how you write your opener account for more of your results than which app you're on. That said, some apps do have genuinely better demographics for specific groups.
