About This Site: Independent AI Companion Reviews
We publish independent reviews of AI companion platforms. We test them systematically, score them consistently, and publish findings — including negative ones — regardless of affiliate relationships.
We are not GirlfriendGPT. We are not NextDay AI. We are not affiliated with Candy AI, CrushOn AI, Character.AI, or any other reviewed platform except through standard affiliate marketing arrangements disclosed on applicable pages.
Testing Methodology
Every platform review follows a documented protocol:
Testing period: 2–4 weeks per platform, across free and at least one paid tier.
What we evaluate:
- Conversation quality across scenario types and session lengths
- Image generation quality, consistency, and style variety
- Memory system performance (session vs cross-session)
- Voice and video features and cost efficiency
- Pricing verified directly on official platforms
- Privacy policy analysis, data retention, company background
- Mobile experience (app or PWA)
Scoring: Standardized rubric applied consistently across all platforms. The same criteria produce the 4.8/5 Candy AI rating and the 3.9/5 GirlfriendGPT rating — enabling valid comparisons.
Affiliate Disclosure
We earn commissions when readers sign up through our links. This funds the site and is disclosed on every page with referral links.
What affiliate relationships do not affect:
- Review scores
- Safety concern disclosure
- Competitive comparison framing
- Publication of negative findings
The 6-year data retention issue at GirlfriendGPT is published prominently despite potentially reducing affiliate conversions. The price comparison showing Candy AI at 67% less than GirlfriendGPT is published despite directing some traffic toward a competitor. These are editorial choices that demonstrate the independence claim.
