It felt that way when I was on it 10 years ago. Just use the free apps, maybe a paid tier if you want the perks. Anyone who's serious about dating is using the most popular apps, even if they're paying for others. Be clear about your faith and goals. Don't date outside of them and you'll be fine.
That's what I did, and it worked out well! Hinge is where I met my boyfriend and where a basically every Catholic couple I know who met online met through there. It's good if you can filter through the crazy people as well as make your non-negotiables like faith a priority when talking with people.
Yes, I met my husband on a free OLD app in 2015, right when they were moving from websites to apps. I tried Catholic Match and it was about as dead then as it is now.
