How We Test & Review
Our testing process, scoring criteria, and standards for inclusion — so you can judge our reviews for yourself.
How we research
Every review is built from primary sources: the product's own website, pricing page, terms of service, and privacy policy, cross-checked against independent, verifiable user feedback (app-store reviews, Trustpilot, and public discussion on forums like Reddit) rather than the vendor's own marketing claims. Where we quote a price, a feature, or a policy detail, it is sourced from the vendor's current official page at the time of writing — not from press releases or other review sites' coverage. We do not fabricate first-hand usage claims, screenshots, or conversations we did not have.
Scoring criteria (each scored 1–10, weighted into an overall score)
- Conversation / interaction quality — how natural, context-aware, and responsive the AI feels across a real multi-turn session.
- Image/character generation quality (where applicable) — likeness consistency, customization depth, output resolution and realism.
- Memory & personalization — how well the product remembers prior context and adapts over time.
- Pricing transparency — clarity of the pricing page, presence of hidden fees or auto-renewal traps, value at each tier.
- Privacy & data handling — what the platform's own privacy policy discloses about data retention, training-data use, and account deletion.
- Trust & moderation — presence of age verification, content moderation policy, and a real support channel.
What disqualifies a product from coverage
Any platform associated with CSAM, non-consensual imagery of real identifiable people, or a documented pattern of fraudulent billing is excluded from this site outright, regardless of any affiliate opportunity.
Update cadence
Reviews are re-verified periodically as products change; the "last updated" date on each article reflects the most recent check. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how monetization relates to (and does not influence) these scores.
