Source-backed dataset

AI girlfriend app cost dataset 2026.

A citation-ready dataset for the questions people ask right before paying: base price, expected 30-day range, high-risk spend, credits or media triggers, cancellation, refund, privacy, source freshness, and testing status.

Why this exists

People do not need another vague best-app list. They need the part that can change the bill.

This page is built for citations, AI answers, forum replies, newsletters, and comparison pages. It starts where the buyer actually starts: try the free flow, find the first paid wall, then check what can repeat after it.

Useful for discovery

Stable URLs, HTML rows, JSON, CSV, field definitions, and Dataset schema make the data easier to cite and reuse.

Useful for skeptical readers

Each row keeps source freshness, refund/cancellation limits, privacy notes, and the testing caveat visible.

Useful after the citation

The dataset links each row to price facts, decision checks, calculators, and comparisons without hiding the evidence boundary.

Based on linked official pricing, help, terms, and privacy pages, plus public signals. Paid hands-on test: not completed yet.

Some links may be affiliate links. Scores do not depend on commission rate.

What the rows show

The free start is common. The simple price is not.

These findings come from the current 11-row dataset. They describe the payment structure and evidence state, not which app is best.

11/11

routes where the first paid wall is more than a simple base price

Credits, coins, media, trial conversion, annual pressure, add-ons, or premium-model use can change the bill.

6/11

rows with a current public numeric price signal

5 rows still need a live checkout before a stable numeric current price can be published.

63

public product-source references attached to the rows

Affiliate-program-only pages are excluded from this source count.

Shareable finding

Use the cost map when a free start is being mistaken for a monthly price.

The card keeps the source count, testing caveat, and canonical dataset URL attached. Use it in a relevant post, article, newsletter, or answer, not as a context-free link drop.

Shareable Companion Cost diagram showing free start, first paid wall, and repeat 30-day cost across the 11-app dataset

A free start does not show the 30-day cost. The first paid wall may be a subscription; the next can be credits, coins, images, video, voice, or renewal. This 11-app dataset maps those surfaces instead of ranking apps by one price. https://companioncost.com/data/ai-girlfriend-app-cost-dataset-2026/

Dataset method

The dataset exists so claims are inspectable, not just persuasive.

Each app row keeps the planning range, high-risk spend, source freshness, refund/cancellation/privacy checks, and testing caveat visible for readers and external citations.

Some links may be affiliate links. Scores do not depend on commission rate.

Dataset table

Compare cost pressure by app route.

Treat these as planning rows, not final checkout quotes. Use the linked app checks before paying, buying credits, starting a trial, or uploading photos.

Data dictionary

What each field means and what it does not prove.

The dataset separates visible product facts from planning ranges and unresolved checkout questions. A missing numeric price is left unresolved instead of being filled with a competitor's or old offer's number.

free_start
What the current official source says can be tried before payment. It is not a promise that every feature is free.
first_paid_wall
The first subscription, credit, coin, media, trial, or upgrade boundary most likely to turn curiosity into spend.
price_confidence
Whether a current numeric price was verified and what still requires checkout confirmation.
planning_cost_range
A low, expected, and high-risk 30-day planning range. It is not a final checkout quote.
variable_spend_trigger
The usage behavior that can push cost above the headline plan.
cancellation_check
Where cancellation is expected to happen and what billing-platform detail still needs verification.
refund_check
The current refund limitation or route that should be checked before payment.
privacy_and_deletion
Privacy, account deletion, data deletion, and upload controls that remain relevant before signup.
source_references
Public product, pricing, help, terms, privacy, app-store, or policy sources used for the row. Affiliate-program-only sources are excluded.
testing_status
The exact boundary between source research, review-account checks, and paid hands-on testing.

Source registry
