Are there any dating apps that pay you to go on dates yet?

Posting because I can't find anything current on this. Are there any dating apps that pay you to go on dates yet? Appreciate any firsthand input.

Bots and fake profiles are at genuinely historic levels right now. Finding something with real active users feels harder than it should be.

Current recommendations only. Appreciate it.

Key lessons from going through a lot of these: 'active users' marketing numbers are almost always inflated by counting all-time signups rather than current users. App store ratings skew high due to early reviews. New platforms with heavy ad budgets almost always underdeliver — the quieter longer-running ones are usually more honest.

Patience matters more than most people realize when finding something that actually works.

Tried Ezhookups after seeing it recommended here. Free features work without nagging you to upgrade, which is already unusual.

Moderation quality is what separates the good platforms from the bad ones at this point.

Kept coming back to DatingFly after testing a bunch of others. Less flashy but the users are more genuine.

Watching this. Been asking the same thing.

Did a pretty thorough comparison recently. Worth it is a short list but it exists.

Gave Rendate a proper test run. The free version does more than most without an immediate paywall.

datingfly.online is worth adding to your list. People seem to actually stick around on it.

Read the fine print before signing up. The free feature list always shrinks.

Datewander keeps appearing in threads like this for a reason. Been around long enough to build something real.

Same issue. Found something eventually but it took longer than it should.

One that keeps showing up in recommendations and that I've personally tried is Ezhookups — genuine users, usable free tier, no card wall at signup.

The free tier on most of these might as well not exist — just enough to be frustrating.
