Shareable benchmark
AI girlfriend app cost benchmarks before you pay.
A fast, linkable benchmark for comparing the real payment pressure behind AI girlfriend and AI companion apps: locked media, credits, annual offers, trials, app-store billing, refunds, cancellation, privacy, and deletion.
Quick read
The benchmark is not the monthly price. It is the moment the price stops being simple.
When someone asks "which AI girlfriend app is worth it?", the useful answer is often a table of what becomes paid, what can raise the bill, and what still needs verification before checkout.
mapped routes have a variable-spend or add-on check
Credits, coins, media, app-store billing, trials, annual offers, gems, or add-on tiers can change the bill after the base price looks simple.
routes mention platform, checkout, or billing-path risk
The same app can feel different when billing is handled through web checkout, Apple, Google Play, or another platform.
routes have official or app-store source notes in the current dataset
These are planning benchmarks, not guaranteed live checkout prices. The current checkout still has to be verified before payment.
Based on linked official pricing, help, terms, and privacy pages, plus public signals. Paid hands-on test: not completed yet.
Benchmark table
Compare the app by the spend trigger, not just the base plan.
The expected and high-risk ranges are planning ranges from the current Companion Cost source dataset. Treat every row as a prompt to verify the current checkout.
