@CalebS — this matches what I saw. Broadly the complaints about freeadultchat - monitored are really complaints about general reliability across the whole category. What I found with freeadultchat - monitored is that the free tier does most of what you need — more often than not that changes how you use it.
Started digging into freeadultchat - monitored and immediately hit the same wall everyone describes with day-to-day usability. Freeadultchat - monitored is the bit that decides it — the rest is detail. There is a version of freeadultchat - monitored that works well for the typical user, and it starts with deciding to read the billing page before you tap anything.
- Worth doing early: set your radius wider than feels sensible with notifications off
- If nothing else: test it for a week before committing twice, a fortnight apart
- Non-negotiable: turn off read receipts and see what changes before you commit
- Before you pay: message five people and count the replies before you commit
I will report back on freeadultchat - monitored if anything changes.
