How this site makes money

Published · Updated

Some links on this site may earn us a commission: if you subscribe through one, we may get paid at no extra cost to you. It doesn’t change our scores or the order of our rankings.

As of 10/17/2026, no link on this site is an affiliate link. We haven’t applied to any affiliate program yet, so every button takes you to the app’s own site with no tracking code. When the first application is approved, this page will list it, and a line under the first button on each page will mark the link.

How a commission works

An affiliate link carries a code that tells the app which site sent you. If you subscribe within the time the program allows, the app or its affiliate network pays us a share of what you paid.

Many of these programs also pay a share of each renewal for as long as you stay subscribed. You pay the price shown in the app’s own checkout, the same as you would without the link.

What the commission doesn’t change

A commission doesn’t change a score, the order of a ranking, or the answers to the seven fine-print questions. Every app is scored on the same six axes, and every ranking is sorted by score, as described in how we check and score AI companion apps.

The 7.0 line for getting into a ranking is the same for every app. Whether a company pays us a commission or nothing at all doesn’t move a single row.

A program can’t buy an app a place, either. Some apps are left out whatever they would pay, for the reasons in the next section.

Which apps we cover, and which we leave out

We cover the AI companion apps that people in the United States search for most, among those that sell a subscription on the web. An app gets its own review when it runs an affiliate program we could join, which is how this site pays for the checks. Apps with no program can still appear in comparisons where leaving them out would give you a wrong picture, as a name without a button. A program decides whether an app gets its own pages, never its score or its place in a ranking.

Before an app gets a review, we also read its catalog and the categories it lists on its public pages. An app is left out entirely if it offers characters that look under 18, uses photos, faces, or voices of real people, or offers to remove clothing from photos. The same check runs each time we recheck an app we already cover. If an app fails it, its pages come down, its buttons stop working, and it moves to the list of apps we don’t recommend, with the reason and the date.

Which apps run affiliate programs, and where we stand

The table lists the app, the platform that runs its program, and our status with it. Commission rates and amounts aren’t published here or anywhere else on the site.

Apps we review without a commission

Until an application is approved, every app on this site is reviewed without a commission.

If a program closes or turns us down, the app’s pages stay up and its buttons go to its own site. The review then says so near the top, in these words: “We don’t have an affiliate partnership with [app name]; this review is independent.”

What we don’t do

  • We don’t run ads or sponsored posts.
  • We don’t publish commission rates or amounts.
  • We don’t promise a discount, a trial, or a promo code that the app’s pricing page didn’t show on the date we checked.

Every button that leads to an app’s site goes through an address on this site that starts with /go/. The button carries rel="sponsored nofollow", which tells search engines that the link may be paid.

Links to Reddit threads, Trustpilot pages, or videos that a review cites as a source are never affiliate links. They open the source directly, carry rel="nofollow", and sit next to the date we read them.

Once a link earns a commission, a line under the first button on the page will read “Affiliate link · how it works →” and lead to this page. The footer of every page already carries the disclosure.

A /go/ address lets us change where a button leads in one place when an app moves its pricing page or its program changes. It also tells search engines not to follow the link. The log behind it records the button and the country, not who you are.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides ask a site to disclose any financial link to a product it reviews, in plain words and close to the recommendation.

That’s why the disclosure sits in the footer of every page now, and will sit next to the first button once a link earns a commission.

Affiliate networks and programs have their own disclosure rules, and we check them when we apply.
