Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Otavalo or anywhere else: you can browse, like, write first and send voice messages or gifts without a subscription or credits. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.

A moderator checks every photo before it appears, every member confirms an email address, and any profile can be reported. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.
