From the review desk

Dondi AI review: $14.99 a month, 5 free messages a day, and 'Live' numbers that never move

tested 2026-10-27

We read every public page of dondi.ai and the app code behind its sign-in: a home page promising unlimited use, a zero-log policy and end-to-end encryption, against a 5-message daily cap, terms that train AI on your chats, a cancel dialog that ends in an email to support, a paid fast-delete, and three company names.

Secrets AI review: the discount is measured against a price nobody pays

tested 2026-10-10

The monthly price is real and renews unchanged; the crossed-out $39.99 and $79.99 beside it are constants in the site's code, so the yearly '77% off' is about 54%. We read the wiki, the policies and 34 releases of changelog: plan Moments vanish at renewal, free users cannot buy any, and the homepage's 'end-to-end encryption' is not what the privacy policy claims.

DarLink review: a price per day, and a yearly charge the page never shows

tested 2026-10-10

The plan cards lead with $0.43 a day; the year is one payment of $119.88 that only the site's data admits to. We receipt-checked the countdown clock that restarts at 10 hours 46 minutes on every load, the token-pack 'savings' that are not, the refund policy that disagrees with the terms, and the chargeback clause that can hand your chats to your bank.

Latest industry changes

2026-10-27 Dondi AI — Rules and privacy read at the source for the first time. The terms say your content 'may be used to train, improve, evolve, and enhance AI systems', inside Dondi or with technology partners, and the community guidelines describe 'human review to monitor requests, conversations'. Behind the sign-in, the app's code caps free chat at 5 messages a day (10 for a test group), ends the cancel dialog with an email to support ('Your subscription stays active until support confirms the cancellation.'), and has a delete screen that charges to delete at once ('This charge only speeds deletion up'). The checkout lists 'Voice & video calls'; we found no call feature.

2026-10-23 GirlfriendGPT — Plans changed. The plan page at /subscribe, a sign-in wall in July, is now public logged out and sells Premium at $15 a month, Deluxe at $35 and a new Elite at $50 (yearly: $144 for Premium, $294 and $396); there is no Basic plan. Only Elite has 'Unlimited messages; 2,000 coins per month'. The homepage FAQ still lists 'Basic Plan: $5 per month Premium Plan: $10 per month', the figures we logged on July 7. No page says when the plans changed.

2026-10-22 CamSoda AI — Longer plans raised again: twelve months now shows $4.99 a month (was $2.49 on September 27) and three months $7.49 (was $4.99), each paid upfront for the whole term, a total the checkout never prints. One month stays $9.99 and the terms still say the plan renews at US$19.95. The menu badge changed from '70% OFF' to '50% OFF' between our October 17 and October 22 checks. Each plan now carries its own token allowance: 300 a month on twelve months, 200 on three, 100 on one.

2026-10-22 Kupid AI — Card checkout gone: plans are now paid once, by Alipay or crypto, and the plan page says 'One payment, nothing renews.' Prices are unchanged. On October 3 the checkout took a card and asked permission to 'charge your card for this payment and future payments'. The terms, still dated 10/08/2026, now say payments are 'processed by Kupid AI' instead of 'SNB Technologies LTD Kypranoros 13 EVI Building Nicosia 1061 Cyprus #447805', and the governing law moved to 'the internal laws of Malta'. No company is named on any page we read.

2026-10-22 Nomi — Back on Google Play six days after the second removal: the listing (ai.nomi.twa) loads again with US, UK, Canadian, Australian, Brazilian and Indian settings, and Google shows the build 'Updated on Oct 17, 2026'. Nomi has not announced it; users on r/NomiAI were still reporting it missing early on October 22, and some whose Play subscriptions lapsed during the gap resubscribed on the web.

2026-10-22 DreamGF — Renewal prices cut. The plans page now reads $12.99 then $25.98 a month, $23.97 then $47.94 every 3 months, and $44.28 then $88.56 a year, with 'Then $88.56 / ANNUALLY from your first renewal' printed under the total. On October 3 the 3-month plan was $29.97 then $77.97 and the annual plan $69.99 then $311.88, so the yearly renewal fell by 72%. The badges still say 60% and 75% OFF, but every first payment is half its renewal price. The homepage FAQ changed to the new figures between our October 17 and October 22 checks; the Pricing Policy page still prints the old ones.

2026-10-22 DreamGF — Now sends users to Candy AI as an affiliate: a homepage block marked sponsored, 'MORE AI GIRLS FROM CANDY.AI', 'Our partner site, with thousands more characters to chat with.', and a sidebar link that redirects into Candy's own affiliate program (affid=884). Neither was on the site on October 17.

The graveyard

Where AI girlfriends go to rest — every notable companion death since 1966, with dates, causes, and how much notice users got (the industry record is 40 days; the mode is a week or less). Shutdowns, lobotomies, disappearances — recorded as they happen, because the churn is half the story.

Why this site exists

The AI girlfriend/companion space is covered almost entirely by affiliate listicles whose rankings are quietly sold. We built the thing we wanted instead: a database of the industry, re-tested on a schedule, where reviews are a byproduct of the data — named for ELIZA (1966), the first chatbot people caught feelings for.
