Pay for the right experience, not just the best advertisement
Companion Decoded is an independent consumer-research project focused on the real differences between AI companion subscriptions: durable memory versus short-lived chats, subscription costs versus media credits, and advertising claims versus documented capabilities.
Our tools provide transparent local calculations without requiring an account or accessing your chats. Our published editorial material is source-based, not a claim of hands-on testing. We publish limitations prominently.
The site must be maintained by an identifiable real operator. Before public launch, add your actual publisher identity and location where legally required, and provide a working public contact address. We never invent a human expert author or fake first-person experience.
