Every friend group has that one person who researches everything before buying. Apparently that's me now, except instead of headphones it's AI companion apps.It started because I kept getting burned. Subscribe to something, use it for a few days, discover the memory is terrible or the free tier is a trap. Rinse and repeat. Eventually I decided to stop guessing and start actually testing.So I spent months using these apps daily. Not five minute demos. Real conversations over weeks. Scoring each one on how the chat feels, whether it remembers context, how much personality control you get, what the free version actually includes, and how they handle privacy.All of it is documented on AI Companion Mag now. Broken into categories so you can go straight to what matters to you. Roleplay, images, voice, budget friendly, privacy first, whatever you're looking for.Consider this my contribution to the community. Ask away if you're torn between options.
