Cost and subscription hub
The monthly price is not always the real cost.
Before you pay for an AI companion, check whether tokens, images, voice, renewal, cancellation, refunds, and privacy settings can change what you actually pay. If the app feels personal, also check what is hard to reverse after you get attached.
Cost path
Check the cost path before you choose the app.
The best first page depends on what might get expensive or hard to reverse: media, tokens, renewal, cancellation, refund limits, or privacy.
1Base price
Monthly or annual subscription shown before checkout.
2Tokens and mediaImages, voice, video, coins, credits, or top-ups can change the real bill.
3Renewal and cancellationApp deletion, account deletion, and subscription cancellation may be separate.
4Privacy and reversalPhotos, personal details, memory, and deletion routes are harder to undo later.
Fast route
Choose the trigger, then check the bill.
The hub is easiest when you start from the moment that makes payment tempting: memory, locked media, customization, or uncertainty.
