Putting this to people who have actually done it rather than written about it: limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium.

If limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium is the question, the honest answer is that a small minority of the profiles worth a second look vanished after one exchange. Something I only noticed later was that photos that look recent predicted a real conversation better than anything else for OkCupid. What I care about most with limited is the is whether you can reply without a subscription.

How long did you give limited is the before deciding? Honest answers on OkCupid only — I can read marketing copy myself.

Take that for what it is worth on limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium.

DomP — respectfully, that was not my read on OkCupid.

Where OkCupid is concerned, The pattern I kept seeing was that nearly all of the chats that lasted more than a day felt automated. I stopped bothering when I saw replies that ignore what you asked for OkCupid. I think that conflates two separate things, and on limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium the distinction matters.

Would be interested if others disagree about limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium.

@DomP for balance, another angle on limited is the.

If limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium is the question, the honest answer is that nearly all of the replies I got were exactly what the profile suggested. On balance, the experience was materially better than the well-known names once the novelty wore off for OkCupid. What I would add is that a handful of the replies I got turned out to be worth the time — that is the whole story really, especially where OkCupid is concerned. For my area anyway, a small minority of the people in my age range held up under a bit of scrutiny within a season of on-and-off use, especially where OkCupid is concerned.

For contrast I also ran the same test on the write-up on Turndate if you are weighing up limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium.

I would second most of this about OkCupid.

Nothing about limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium is settled, but nearly all of the ones that answered quickly matched the description. Any early mention of money was the one thing that never turned out fine for OkCupid.

Anyway, that is my read on limited is the okcupid free version compared to premium.

@David Lewis broadly agree where OkCupid is concerned.

Where OkCupid is concerned, Something I only noticed later was that the bulk of the chats that lasted more than a day were more genuine than I expected. It is worth flagging that a handful of the ones that answered quickly were a waste of an evening — that is the whole story really for OkCupid. The useful filter turned out to be responses that arrive at human hours, not the feature list for OkCupid.
