About Us
This is an independent review site for AI companion platforms. We test the platforms, evaluate the claims, document the concerns, and publish what we find.
Our primary focus is GirlfriendGPT, with comparative coverage of Candy AI, CrushOn AI, Janitor AI, and other platforms in the AI companion space. All platforms reviewed here serve adult users (18+).
Who We Are
An editorial team specializing in AI companion platform evaluation. We're not affiliated with any reviewed platform. We don't work for NextDay AI (GirlfriendGPT), Candy AI, or any other company we cover. The platforms we review have no editorial input into our ratings, coverage angles, or safety assessments.
We earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up through our links. This is how independent review sites operate — it's disclosed on every page that contains an affiliate link, and it doesn't change what we write.
How We Test
What we do for every major review:
- Create accounts on all available tiers (free and paid)
- Test actively for 2–4 weeks before publishing
- Document specific findings with examples, not just impressions
- Verify pricing and feature claims against the platform's own pages
- Check third-party sources: Trustpilot, Scamadviser, specialist review aggregators
- Assess safety and privacy: age verification, data collection, retention periods, billing practices
For our GirlfriendGPT coverage, this included testing Premium and Deluxe tiers, evaluating the character creation system, testing image generation across both realistic and anime styles, and reviewing the full privacy policy (which is where we found the 6-year data retention issue).
Scoring criteria:
- Chat quality
- Image generation quality and consistency
- Voice and video features
- Pricing and value
- Safety and privacy
- User interface and mobile experience
What We Publish and Why
We publish strengths and weaknesses. For GirlfriendGPT: the 8.8/10 chat quality is a genuine competitive advantage; the 3.2/5 safety rating and 6-year data retention are genuine concerns. Both appear in our coverage because both are true.
We don't modify scores based on affiliate commission rates. Higher commission from a platform doesn't improve its rating here.
Corrections
We update reviews when platforms change their offerings, and when readers identify factual errors. If you've found an error, reach out and include the specific claim and your evidence. Corrections are made within 48 hours.
