Like many of you, I’ve fallen into the trap of free-to-join dating apps that hide hidden costs. It’s so frustrating! You think you’ve found a great app, but then you hit a paywall when you want to actually talk to someone.
For me, that’s a deal-breaker. If I can’t send or receive messages for free, I’m out. There are plenty of apps where you can message your matches without paying.
One of the biggest problems with pay-to-message apps is fake profiles. These bots and scammers will send you messages, hoping you’ll pay to reply. Don’t fall for it!
Here’s a simple rule: If you’re suddenly inundated with messages on a new dating app, it’s probably a scam.
Some premium dating apps offer paid messaging, but they’re often overpriced. Think carefully before spending your hard-earned cash on a subscription.
