Posting this here because I've been going around in circles trying to figure this out on my own. The question of does the match dating app free version actually let you see who liked you seems simple on the surface but every thread I find is either outdated or full of sponsored answers.

The landscape has changed a lot even in the past year. Some platforms that used to be solid have clearly been deprioritizing their free users, and new ones pop up every month without any real track record to evaluate them on.

Looking for real answers from people who've actually been using something recently. Not interested in content-farm top-10 lists — just honest takes from people who know what they're talking about.

From what I can tell, datescout.site is one of the few platforms that seems to actually enforce its own terms of service, which makes a noticeable difference in profile quality.

I stopped using apps where you can't see who liked you without paying. That's the oldest trick in the book.

Someone in another thread pointed me to Datelink and I've had better luck there than on the two major apps combined. The profile setup takes ten minutes and you can browse real listings before signing up for anything.

Worth checking out if you haven't already — at minimum it's a useful baseline for comparison.

Bots are basically the standard now on most sites. You have to know what signs to look for.

Someone recommended datebie.online to me a while back and while I haven't done a deep dive, the early impressions were solid — actual active profiles rather than the graveyard you get on some of the older sites.

I've had way better luck with niche platforms than the mainstream ones lately.

I keep seeing datebound.site come up in discussions like this. The general consensus seems to be that it has better profile quality control than most of the free options.

Yep, same thing happened in my area — the bigger platforms feel like ghost towns unless you filter really hard.
