Where Match wins
Control and volume. You decide who's worth a message, and you can filter on kids, religion, smoking and more. In a smaller search area, browse the available suggestions before paying to see whether the service offers enough choice.
Where eharmony wins
Screening. The quiz asks about values, habits and goals before you see a single photo, and that effort filters out a lot of people who aren't serious. In Las Vegas, browse profiles near home and decide whether guided matching gives you enough options.
Can you use both?
Yes, and it's a good way to decide. Both let you set up and look around free. Give each a week, then pay for the one that's producing conversations with people who live within driving distance.
