Verdict FindLove
Who to pick
Overtone is the most credible rebuild of matchmaking with AI (voice, Hinge founder, serious funding) but it is still pre-proof and not widely available. Ditto is the cleanest campus experiment: one iMessage date a week, free to join if your school is covered. Amata is the strongest fit if you will pay for curated in-person dates in a supported city.
None of these is a mass-market swipe app. If you need scale today, stay on a large network. If you want post-swipe intros, start with the one whose constraint you actually accept: waitlist (Overtone), campus (Ditto), or paid local dates (Amata).
