How to spot a bad AI girlfriend app before your card does
A real app tells you the cap, the price, and that the character is fictional. A bad one rushes the card.
Start without a card when the app allows it. DarLink, Joi, and Dream Companion are on this list because you can see the chat first. If the only button is a checkout, and the page never shows the product, close it.
Read the billing name before you subscribe. Dream Companion, for example, has charged under more than one descriptor. If our review and the checkout disagree on price, the checkout is the one that takes the money.
Leave any site that steers you toward sexual content of minors, illustrated or not, or that asks you to upload a real person's photo to fake them. AI Gen does not list those. Fictional adults only. If a review here is out of date, the contact page is how it gets fixed.
