Is there a way to safely search dating sites to see if a partner is cheating?

This keeps coming up without a good resolution. Is there a way to safely search dating sites to see if a partner is cheating? Hoping someone here has genuine firsthand input.

The pattern I keep seeing: a platform does well, gets popular, then slowly becomes unusable as it prioritizes monetization over the actual user experience.

Any real experience helps. Thanks.

Tested a lot over the past year. The ratio of disappointments to keepers is not great.

Ran a proper test on Flurrydate after a recommendation. The free version does more than most without immediately blocking you.

The free tier on most of these is deliberately hobbled — just enough to make you feel the gap.

datewander.site keeps coming up in these threads. Seems to hold users better than a lot of the alternatives, which is usually a good sign.

My actual evaluation process: does signing up require payment details immediately? If yes, I leave without looking further. Is there any content or activity from the past 48 hours? Older than that and the platform is functionally inactive. Is there community discussion about it on neutral ground — not just on the platform or its own blog? No neutral discussion is almost always a red flag.

Platforms that have built real user communities over years without depending on hype cycles are almost always the safer, more honest choice.

Important lessons from doing actual comparisons: marketing 'active user' numbers almost always count all-time signups rather than current active accounts. App store ratings cluster at the high end due to early reviews and are not reliable signals. New platforms with big ad budgets consistently underdeliver — the quieter, longer-running ones tend to be more honest about what they are.

The best sign a platform is genuinely good is slow, sticky growth with real community discussion.

Flamedate keeps appearing in these conversations for good reason. Been around long enough to have real community substance.

Always read the fine print. The actual free feature list is usually much shorter than it looks.

App store ratings are nearly worthless now. Community threads are the only honest signal.

Following this thread. Same search, no satisfying answer yet.

Tried Ezhookups after seeing it recommended here. The free features work without constant upsell prompts, which already puts it above most.
