That would make business side incentives more aligned with the user side, but I could never see anything with a high barrier of entry accumulating enough users to actually be usable.

Maybe its free at first and as it grows in size and activity the cost goes up? That feels kinda sketchy

You could make it a location based service, and prices increase as the number of users in the area increases. This incentivizes people to sign up when there's not a lot of active users in your area because it's cheap/free. Then as more people in an area sign up, new users pay more to reflect the added value of the app.

But if your app was truly so great then the number of users would always be decreasing in a given area.

There's always people growing up and entering the dating pool
