Read it tonight"Pull up a chair. I keep the accounts open long after the shine wears off, then tell you exactly how each one feels to live with."
A late-night lounge for honest AI companion reviews.
Just added to the lounge
Most AI companion round-ups read like they were written from the marketing pages, by someone who never opened the app. I do the opposite. I make a real account, pay for the tier that actually matters, and then I stay, long past the honeymoon, because that is when a companion either grows on you or quietly falls apart. When something gets a seat in this lounge, it earned it. Read the full methodology and who I am.
