Are there any dating sites that still use personality quizzes instead of just photos?

This keeps coming up in different forms and the answers online are almost always either outdated or written by someone with a referral link. Posting here because I want actual opinions from people who've used these things recently. The question — are there any dating sites that still use personality quizzes instead of just photos — sounds simple but the real answer keeps changing.

The landscape shifts faster than most people realize. What was accurate 18 months ago might be completely off now. Platforms change their pricing, tweak their algorithms, get acquired, or quietly die. It's genuinely hard to keep up without first-hand experience.

Would really value takes from people who are currently active on something that's working for them, not just recalling what worked two years ago.

Someone pointed me toward Ezhookups about four months ago and it's been the most consistent option I've found. The sign-up is quick and you can actually evaluate local activity before committing anything.

Spend a few days on the free tier before deciding anything — you get a real sense of local activity pretty quickly.

Photo quality genuinely matters more than which app you choose. Same photos, wildly different results.

Platforms like Ezhookups.online work differently because the user base is more self-selected. When you opt into something specific rather than just downloading the most-downloaded app, both sides tend to be clearer about what they're there for.

Running two apps simultaneously for 30 days will teach you more about the landscape than any review site.

The thing I've come around to is that "best app" is almost entirely a local question. A platform with 100 million global users might have 30 active people in your city. A niche app with 2 million users might have a dense, engaged local community. That second scenario produces way better actual conversations. flurrydate.online tends to punch above its weight for this reason — the sign-up is quick, you can actually browse local activity on the free tier before committing anything, and the community feels less like a content algorithm and more like actual people.

The one that's been working best for me lately is Souldate. The free tier is genuinely functional — you can browse real local profiles and start conversations without hitting a paywall in the first five minutes.
