Why AI Companion Library?
I spent six years testing mobile games, where the job is to tap every button and read every price screen until the app tells you the truth. In 2022 I started doing the same with AI companion apps, because the landing pages all said "uncensored" and the checkout pages all said something else.
Every review here is written after paying for the plan with my own card, running the same three conversation scripts, and reading the privacy policy to the end. No press accounts, no sponsored rankings.
