They are basically useless if you don't pay, because you can't see who likes you or respond in the free tier and the search is very limited. With free there is also limits on number of likes. Plus to stand out among the crowd you need some 'super likes' because the girls are already swamped with regular likes. There is also 'boosts' that put your profile higher in the deck for a limited time.

I picked the cheapest subscription level for each. Hinge was the most expensive at $50 for 3 months, Tinder the cheapest at $25. 

It helps that Tinder looks cheap and fun, almost like a free flash game or whatever. Especially Hinge really throws you off with an high end look, which makes everything look very exclusive and you have to scroll to see the other pictures. On Tinder you can just click through the pictures and optionally open up the profile.

But yeah all the girls pretending to be into kite surfing, horse riding, city trips and what not on Hinge are really just Netflix binging on Tinder.
