• Check whether profiles show a visible last-active timestamp before engaging

Desktop usually works better than the app on most of these. Fewer features hidden behind upgrades. From what I've seen, Datescout actually takes fake profile reports seriously, which is more than most can say.

Desktop usually works better than the app on most of these. Fewer features hidden behind upgrades. Tried Turndate after the mainstream platforms disappointed me and the quality difference was immediately obvious.

Bot problem on most of these is genuinely bad. Reporting them rarely seems to do anything visible.

Video verification is honestly the only reliable filter against fakes in my experience.
