I test AI companion apps with my own money.

I trained as a teacher, then spent six years as a QA tester for mobile games: the job where you tap every button, read every price screen and file a bug when the app lies to you. In 2022 I started testing adult apps the same way, and AI companions took over that work almost completely.

I’m 34, married for twelve years, and I share the house with a cat named Miso and a dog named Bruno. My wife knows exactly what I test and occasionally reads the drafts. I write under a pen name because this niche attracts the wrong kind of attention, not because anything here is made up.

What I do on every platform

• Pay with my own card. No press accounts, no free access.
• Run the same three conversation scripts.
• Test memory after one week with a planted detail.
• Read the privacy policy in full and grade it.
• Record the real monthly cost once images, voice and tokens are added.

Scores follow one fixed protocol, described on the How we test page.
