Updated daily 1,000+ guides Independent and hands on

When your AI companion app breaks, the fix is already written.

How we test

  1. We reproduce the fault on a live account before writing a word.
  2. We publish only what actually worked, including the routes that failed.
  3. We rewrite the guide whenever the platform changes underneath it.

All write-ups

We run every subscription ourselves so the fix guides stay accurate. These are the conclusions, not a leaderboard.

Candy AI The image generation is the reason to stay. The annual plan is the only pricing here that is not quietly punitive. Running it since Feb 2026 Janitor Plus Worth it only if you were already running a proxy. If you were not, the free tier plus your own key still wins. Running it since Nov 2025 CrushOn AI The longest usable memory of anything we run. The model picker is where most people get it wrong. Running it since Jan 2026 SpicyChat The free tier is genuinely usable, which makes the upgrade a harder sell than the marketing suggests. Running it since Mar 2026
