How We Compare & Score AI Companion Apps
How we calculate scores from official pricing pages, token costs, memory specs, privacy policies, and public user feedback.
We built AICompanionRanked so you can compare AI companion apps without signing up for 15 separate accounts just to find out what they actually cost.
Instead of claiming lab testing, we score every platform on six publicly verifiable factors:
| Category | Weight | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| Conversation | 25% | LLM quality, roleplay depth, custom character prompts, and community feedback |
| Memory | 20% | Short-term context vs. long-term memory, lorebooks, and editable memory journals |
| Images & Video | 15% | Photorealistic & anime image generation, video clips, and live voice calls |
| Price & Value | 15% | Free tier limits, true 1-month price vs. annual price, and extra token costs |
| Content Freedom | 15% | Strict SFW filters vs. opt-in NSFW toggles or unrestricted adult roleplay |
| Privacy & Billing | 10% | Self-service account deletion, chat training terms, billing descriptors, and crypto support |
How Often Prices Are Checked
AI companion apps frequently change their intro discounts and token bundles. Each review page lists the date its official pricing and privacy pages were last checked, along with direct links to the source pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do affiliate commissions change an app's score?
No. Every app is scored using the same fixed weights (25% Conversation, 20% Memory, 15% Media, 15% Value, 15% Freedom, 10% Privacy). Non-affiliate platforms like Nomi, Kindroid, and Janitor AI rank at the top of our list because of their specs.
Where do your prices and specifications come from?
We pull subscription rates, annual discounts, token costs, and privacy rules directly from each provider's official website and terms of service, and cross-check feature quality against public user reports on Reddit and X.
