Who runs this site

I'm Marc Allard. I've been testing AI companion platforms since 2023: Replika, Character.AI, Candy AI, Promptchan, SoulGen, Joyland AI, CrushOn AI, Janitor AI, and 20+ others. Most reviews online are either thinly veiled affiliate fluff or one-paragraph summaries written by people who never used the product. I write the kind of review I wished existed when I was deciding which platform to subscribe to.

How we test

Every product reviewed on this site gets at least 14 days of active use before publication. We test free tiers, pay for premium where it matters, run real conversations or generate real images, and document what we find. We pay for our own subscriptions out of site revenue. Vendors do not provide free accounts in exchange for coverage.

Editorial independence

We use affiliate links when they exist for products we recommend. When you click an affiliate link and sign up, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Our verdicts are independent of whether a product has an affiliate program. Multiple products we recommend (Stable Diffusion, free tier alternatives) pay us nothing.
