How to choose a dating app

The guides below answer the questions that come before installing an app: which one suits a serious relationship, which ones are not hookup apps, which free tier lets you hold a conversation, whether Hinge is worth paying for, what Tinder’s paid tiers add, which apps suit marriage, and how the choice changes with age and with the kind of profile you would rather write. Each guide takes one of those questions and answers it at length.
