About

Building Companaya, an independent platform that reviews, tests, and ranks AI companion apps. Most AI companion review sites exist to push affiliate links. Companaya focuses on real testing, honest rankings, and transparent comparisons across memory quality, voice features, pricing, free tiers, privacy, customization, and overall user experience. No app pays to be ranked higher. Every score is based on hands-on testing and evaluation. The goal is simple: help users find the right AI companion app without wasting time or money on overhyped products.

I built an independent AI companion review site 30-day tests, real pricing, honest scores

I built companaya.com, an independent AI companion review site.

Every platform tested for 30 days minimum. Real pricing breakdowns including hidden credit costs. Memory tested by planting 10 details in week one and checking recall at day 30. Honest scores that don't change based on affiliate relationships.

I test AI companion apps so people don't waste money on the wrong one

Hey PH, I'm Souvik.

I run companaya.com, an independent AI companion review site. I got frustrated with every review site in this space being either sponsored or just copying app marketing pages, so I started testing platforms myself, 30 days each, and publishing honest scores.

Weirdest thing I found so far: the platform with the best memory of any I tested is also one of the cheapest. The expensive ones were not better at remembering you.

Happy to answer anything about the AI companion space, it's a strange and fascinating category.

Honest things I found after 30 days testing AI companion apps

Hi, I'm Souvik, I run an independent AI companion review site.

Three things I genuinely did not expect to find:

Memory is mostly fake

Most platforms market "persistent memory" but context resets when you close the browser. I planted 10 specific details in week one and checked what each platform recalled at day 30. Most got 3 or 4 right. One got all 10. That platform is also one of the cheapest. The expensive ones were not the ones with better memory.
