OkCupid also lets users message for free, but it doesn't make it quite as easy as POF, and messages are limited to introductions to folks you\u2019ve already liked. The only limits for POF accounts in good standing (not blocked or flagged as inappropriate) are that you can only message 55 new people per 24 hours, and your age gap must be less than 14 years, or nine years if you\u2019re under 22. This is pretty generous. As with any free dating app, though, you run the chance of encountering casual users who want to dabble without committing to a paying plan. If you find yourself receiving too much spam, you can disable messaging on your profile.
