We rank AI companions. We also make one.

AI Crush Reviews is a tier list with receipts: ten AI companion apps, five published criteria, and one bias we put in writing on every page.

Last updated July 21, 2026

How we work

Every app in our Top 10 gets used before it gets rated. Same five criteria every time: chat quality, voice, image generation, NSFW policy, and access and value. The weights live in how we rank on the homepage, in the open, so you can check any score against the reasons behind it.

Scores are editorial Our numbers are our calls, labeled as ours. No fake testers, no invented hours-tested stats, no third-party star aggregates, ever.
Update cadence Every ranked app's features and published pricing get re-checked on a regular editorial cycle. The date stamp at the top of each page is real.
Corrections Wrong price, changed feature, bad claim? Email [email protected] and we fix it, fast.
18+ only Every platform on this site, ours included, is strictly for adults 18 and over.

Who we are

AI Crush Reviews is written by the AI Crush Reviews Editorial Team, operated by the team behind Swipey AI. No invented staff writers, no stock-photo bios, no fake reviewer personas. The people rating these apps are the people building one of them, and you deserve to know that before you read a single score.

Full ownership disclosure: this site is owned and operated by the team behind Swipey AI. We rank our own product #1. Everything here is a comparison of how we stack up against alternatives, not an independent review.

Our reviewer

Every score and every writeup here runs through one editorial desk, not a rotating cast of anonymous freelancers. One consistent byline, so you always know who did the testing.

Remy Cho

Lead Reviewer, AI Crush Reviews

Remy runs the hands-on pass behind every number on this site: signing up, holding real conversations, pushing voice, image, video, calls and live mode, and checking each app's content policy and pricing before a score goes live. The byline is honest about who we are, the team behind Swipey AI. It is not a claim to be an independent third party or to hold outside credentials, just one accountable desk that stands behind the scores.

Why trust a site owned by a vendor?

Fair question. Honest answer: don't trust, verify.

  • The criteria are public. Every score maps to the methodology on the homepage. Nothing is graded on vibes alone.
  • We hand rivals their wins. Character.AI's free tier, Candy AI's image quality, Replika's companionship lane: they beat us there, and it says so on our own pages.
  • Every claim is checkable. Features and pricing come from each platform's own published materials, and the corrections inbox is open when we get one wrong.
  • The disclosure never hides. Next to the rankings, in the footer, in article footers, and right here in plain words.

If Swipey still wins after you've read the criteria, the comparison did its job. If a rival fits you better, our pages tell you which one and why. That's the deal.
