About CompanionGeek
1 Our Mission
CompanionGeek exists to help people make informed decisions about AI companion apps. The market is growing fast, pricing is opaque, and quality varies wildly from platform to platform. We cut through the noise with hands-on reviews, practical guides, how-to walkthroughs, and timely coverage of industry changes — giving you the full picture, not just a star rating.
We believe AI companionship is for everyone. Not just people looking for an "AI girlfriend" — though we review those too. Whether you want a romantic partner, a creative roleplay collaborator, a judgment-free conversation partner, or simply a friend to talk to at 2 AM, we evaluate apps across the full spectrum of human connection. Every gender, every orientation, every reason someone might seek companionship is valid here.
2 What Makes Our Coverage Different
Most AI companion review sites skim the surface. We go deeper. Every app we review goes through a structured testing process that spans 10+ hours of real interaction. We score each platform across 15 distinct traits — from conversation quality and voice features to privacy practices and visual fidelity — so you can compare apps on the dimensions that actually matter to you.
We pay for premium tiers out of our own pocket. We test NSFW features alongside SFW ones, because pretending half the market does not exist helps nobody. We verify privacy claims, check billing practices, and flag anything that feels deceptive. Our reviews reflect actual experience, not press releases.
Our scoring methodology is fully transparent. You can read the complete breakdown on our methodology page, including how we weight traits and calculate final scores.
Reviews are our foundation, but they are not the whole story. We are building out guides, how-tos, and tips that go beyond app ratings — covering topics like getting the most out of character customization, understanding AI memory systems, staying safe with data privacy, and keeping up with an industry that changes fast. If it matters to someone using an AI companion app, we want to cover it.
3 Who We Are
CompanionGeek is run by a small, independent editorial team with backgrounds in sexual health and wellness writing, content strategy, and SEO. We built this site because we saw a gap: millions of people are using AI companion apps, but the review landscape was dominated by shallow listicles and undisclosed affiliate farms. We wanted to do better.
Our reviewers include FernAmber LaHoud, a sexual health and wellness writer with 7+ years of experience making honest, stigma-free information accessible to people navigating intimate products and services. That editorial DNA runs through everything we publish — we review AI companion apps with the same professionalism and care you would expect from a health publication, without the pearl-clutching you might find elsewhere. Every review reflects real testing, real expertise, and genuine respect for the people reading them.
4 Our Values
Inclusivity. AI companion apps serve people across every gender, orientation, relationship style, and motivation. Our reviews reflect that. We evaluate boyfriend, girlfriend, and non-binary companion options with equal attention.
Honesty. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, but our reviews are editorially independent. An app that pays us a commission gets the same scrutiny as one that does not. Read our full affiliate disclosure for details.
Privacy-first mindset. We take data privacy seriously — both in how we evaluate apps and in how we run this site. Many AI companion apps handle deeply personal conversations, and users deserve to know exactly how that data is treated.
No judgment. People use AI companion apps for all kinds of reasons: loneliness, curiosity, entertainment, anxiety relief, creative writing, sexual exploration, or just fun. We do not rank those reasons. We rank the apps.
