The honest guide to AI companions
We remove the guesswork from choosing AI companions. No shame, no tricks—just clear breakdowns of what's free, what costs extra, and who each app is really for.
Our mission: Help you explore intimate technology with clarity, consent, and confidence.
What drives our work
Three principles guide every review, guide, and recommendation we publish.
Radical transparency
Every review comes from real testing sessions. If a feature is paywalled or refunds are tricky, we tell you upfront.
Privacy obsessed
We audit data policies and safety features so you know exactly what you're sharing before you start chatting.
Human context
AI companions are personal. We evaluate emotional intelligence and boundaries to help you find the right fit.
How we got here
From frustrated users to trusted reviewers—our journey to building CompanionInsight.
The problem became clear
We tried every trending AI companion and saw the same pattern: misleading marketing, hidden paywalls, and users churning after expensive trials.
CompanionInsight launches
