Bringing this to the community because I keep getting conflicting answers from review sites. Is there a ts dating app that is reputable and safe? — 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: Datebound 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.
Been through most of the options discussed in threads like this. The main thing separating good platforms from bad ones is whether moderation actually removes fake accounts or just lets them pile up indefinitely.

The bot and scam situation has gotten more sophisticated on most free platforms. Standard red flags still apply though — moving to WhatsApp within two messages, photos that look too polished, messages that don't reference anything specific you said.
Happy to share what actually worked. I tried the big names first — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — then went deeper into the niche options. Luvdate ended up being the one I recommended to a friend last month because it's one of the few that delivers on the free messaging promise.
Tip: fill your profile out completely before judging any platform. Incomplete profiles get passed over regardless of how good the app is.
After a lot of trial and error my standing recommendation is datebound.site. Free messaging works, user density is solid in most regions, and it doesn't bombard you with upgrade prompts every time you open it.

Worth adding to this thread: souldate.site has been consistently reliable across different locations. The moderation team seems to actually remove bad actors rather than just letting them accumulate.
