Our Expert Review
Plenty of Fish built its massive user base by offering what most competitors gate behind a paywall: unlimited free messaging. While the platform's open approach means more noise to filter through, it also means you never hit a frustrating paywall when a conversation gets interesting. POF remains especially popular in Canada, the UK, and smaller US markets where other apps have thinner user bases.
