Three AI companion apps changed the deal this quarter
SpicyChat repriced, Kindroid closed its free tier, and Janitor AI expanded its paid option. The entity records carry the numbers; here is what the changes mean.

The 10 AI companion apps worth opening in 2026 (v0.2 — fan + scam data, still under review)
Re-ranked after two community datasets landed: a fan-support census and a scamhunt compilation. Only platforms with heavy or moderate fan support and no dealbreaker entered the ranking; the dropped two get named in public.
CrushOn AI review: the library is the product
A large character library, a real free tier, and a price ladder that only makes sense after you know how much you chat.
Angela White: the career behind the Hall of Fame
A performer and director with a unusually long run, a real academic background, and a record that explains why the AVN milestone matters.
SpicyChat review: breadth first, memory second
The character variety is the reason to open it. The tier names are the reason to read the checkout page twice.
Riley Reid: awards, OnlyFans, and the second act
A performer with more than 50 awards who moved from studio work into direct-to-viewer platforms and, later, AI companions.
Johnny Sins: the most recognizable male performer on the internet
A performer, director, and YouTuber whose face became a meme before most people knew the name behind it.
Mia Khalifa: three months that became a permanent search result
A former performer who left the industry quickly, then spent a decade building a mainstream media and business career on her own terms.
Abella Danger: the performer who left the frame
A former performer and director who was one of Pornhub's most-viewed names, then stepped back to study law.
Pornhub review: the free tube is still the default
The library is massive and the player is fast. The free tier is also an ad delivery system, and the premium pitch is built around that.
How to read an AI companion pricing page without getting played
The subscription is rarely the whole bill. Here is the order to check: memory, message caps, tokens, and the cancel path.
