Editorial policy

Research-based framing

We never claim personal hands-on testing. Every assessment is built from official information, public pricing and documented user feedback — and we say so on every page. We do not invent test durations or fabricate first-person experiences.

Adults only (18+)

This is an adults-only site. Every page carries an 18+ marker. Content is written for an adult audience evaluating adult products.

Adult content described, never depicted

Where an app supports adult content (for example Kindroid or Candy AI), we describe that capability factually. We never host, generate or display explicit content, and we use typographic monogram tiles instead of app imagery or avatars.

Real negatives are required

Honesty means publishing the downsides. Replika’s regulatory record, Candy AI’s token costs and billing name, and Character.AI’s under-18 chat ban appear in every relevant review — not buried, not omitted.

No fake testimonials

We do not invent user testimonials, star counts or test results. Where we cite community sentiment, it is synthesized from public discussion and described as such.

Wellness disclaimers

Any wellness-adjacent content carries a clear note that companion apps are not a therapy replacement, along with a crisis resource. Companion apps are not mental-health treatment.

Pricing caveats

Prices change frequently. Every page notes this and links out so you can confirm current pricing on the app’s own site.

Affiliate independence

Placement is never for sale. Affiliate links are marked sponsored nofollow and disclosed on every page; they never affect a score or ranking. See the affiliate disclosure and our methodology.
