Guides, comparisons and field notes.
A ranking of AI companion apps with the scores, prices and free plans side by side. For adults comparing companion apps before signing up for one.
AI girlfriend app vs AI assistant: which to pay for
You already pay for a general assistant, and it plays a character better than you expected. Our ranking has no row for that option, so here is the row filled in.
AI girlfriend app data retention: how long chats stay
The store panel tells you what an app collects and the delete page tells you how to leave. Neither says how long your conversations sit on a server in between. Here is where that number lives, and what its absence means.
AI girlfriend app lifetime plan: whose lifetime
The third column on the paywall asks for one large payment and promises you will never pay again. It is not a cheaper subscription — it is a different purchase, and a harder one to put in a comparison table.
AI girlfriend app web version vs the store
Most apps on a shortlist can be signed up for twice: once through the app store, once in a browser. The door you pick decides who holds the subscription and who you have to ask to stop it.
Asking an AI girlfriend app about itself: what it knows
The chat is right there, so the question goes into the chat. It is the one place in a comparison where a confident answer has nobody behind it.
AI girlfriend app regenerate reply: the real cost
The character says something flat and there is a small circular arrow underneath it. Here is what that button actually does, and why the rewind beside it is the one to be careful with.
AI girlfriend app ratings: what the score hides
Your eye goes to the score column first, because it promises to have done the thinking for you. It is the one number in the table that is least comparable between two apps.
AI girlfriend app data breach: what would leak
The worst day is not one you control. What you control is how much of you is in the file when it arrives, and nearly all of that is settled in the first ten minutes.
AI girlfriend app price by country: what you pay
You picked a row out of a comparison table, opened your own app store, and the number was different. Three ordinary mechanisms explain the gap, and two of them keep working after you subscribe.
AI girlfriend app permissions: what to allow
Two apps installed, and before either has said anything you have answered four prompts about notifications, your microphone and your photos. Those answers decide what your comparison week is actually measuring.
AI girlfriend app recommendations: how to ask
Three sources build a shortlist and only one of them is a person. What to ask them, what you hand over in the asking, and what a useful answer looks like.
AI girlfriend app character creator: what you can undo
Forty sliders in one app, a name and three sentences in the other. The useful question is not how much you get to choose — it is how much of it you can change afterwards.
