How I Check AI Companion Apps

By The Social Climb · Checked 9 Nov 2026 · 18+

Vendor pages first, reported figures labelled, every number dated. The method behind each Nectar comparison.

Ask AI about this research

In short

  • I read each vendor’s own pages first, including text embedded in them, and date every figure.
  • Where a vendor hides a number, I use a named review and label it “reported”.
  • I do not sign up, pay or rate chat quality, so there are no stars here.
  • naughti.ai, our product, gets the same table rows and weak points as everyone else.

How are the apps chosen?

Search data, not preference

I pulled Google Keyword Planner volumes for the United States and 12 months of Google Trends on 9 November 2026. “nectar ai” sits in the 10,000 to 100,000 range, though that head term is probably inflated by unrelated products (a mattress brand, a UK loyalty card); “trynectar” alone is 1,000 to 10,000. Trends shows Nectar interest peaking in spring 2026 and falling since.

The comparison set

OurDream AI, Secrets AI, Joi AI, Xotic AI and GoLove AI share that audience; naughti.ai is our product. Candy AI appears in one head-to-head because people search the pair.

What do I read for each app?

Third-party sources

Named reviews (for example RoboRhythms for Nectar’s reported prices) fill gaps the vendor leaves, always with the date and the word “reported”.

How do I write it up?

Rules I follow

  • A direct answer first, then the evidence, then a practical tip.
  • Every table carries the date I checked it.
  • Euro prices converted at the ECB rate of 1.1165 (6 November 2026) and marked as converted.
  • Conflicts shown side by side, as with Nectar’s “unlimited” FAQ wording and its 6,000-message plan text.

What I never do

  • Invent tests, purchases, ratings, quotes or user numbers.
  • Cover login, outages, app downloads or promo codes.
  • Rank naughti.ai first for any reason other than disclosure: it is first because it is ours.

How can you report a mistake?

Method: FAQ

  • How do you check apps that hide their prices?

    I record what the vendor itself publishes, including text inside its own pages such as Nectar’s plan descriptions, and then add named third-party prices marked “reported” with the reviewer and date. If two sources disagree, both appear, or the figure is left out.

  • Do you sign up or pay for these apps?

    No. I work from public pages and do not click through 18+ entry screens or paywalls. That is why there are no star ratings or chat-quality scores here, and why prices behind a login are always marked as reported.

  • Where does the list of apps come from?

    From Google US search data for Nectar AI and the apps its searchers also look at, pulled from Keyword Planner and Google Trends on 9 November 2026. The partner apps are affiliate partners; naughti.ai is our own product.

  • How quickly do you fix errors?

    When a reader reports a wrong figure, I re-check the vendor page and, if confirmed, correct it and update the date shown on the page. Prices and free tiers are also re-checked every month.

  • Why are some Nectar prices marked reported?

    Because Nectar does not show prices to logged-out visitors. The figures come from RoboRhythms’ review updated 22 October 2026, which I name and date. If Nectar publishes prices, they will replace the reported ones.

  • Do partner commissions change your tables?

    No. Partner apps earn this site a commission when you sign up through its links, which is disclosed on every page, but no partner can change a table row, a figure or a verdict.

Editor, Nectar AI Alternatives

I edit this site for the naughti.ai team. My work is reading what AI companion apps publish about themselves: plan pages and the text inside them, terms of service, refund clauses, privacy policies, age-check screens and company records, plus named third-party reviews where a vendor stays silent. Every number carries the date I checked it, and prices are re-checked monthly. I never describe purchases or tests I did not make, and I point out when naughti.ai is not the right pick.
