The advertised price is only the start of the bill. 16 of the 31 apps
in this index list credits, tokens or another in-app currency as a cost driver, and several charge annual plans
upfront. Each row below gives the advertised price, what the realistic monthly cost looks like, and the official
source we checked, with the date.
Prices are US-facing unless the row says otherwise. Your checkout total can differ by country, platform and tax,
so treat the checkout screen as the final word.

Advertised is the price the app lists on the source we checked.
Realistic monthly cost adds what the advertised price leaves out: billing period, add-on tiers,
credits and top-ups. Unknown is not zero. Where a total needs a checkout to confirm, the row says so.
Confidence is our rating of how complete the official evidence is. It is not a rating of the app.
Scores live in each review and follow our methodology.
Checked is when we last compared the row with its official source. "Not yet dated" rows are
queued for a re-check.
Download the CSV: one row per app with the advertised price, realistic monthly
cost, cost drivers, check date, confidence, official source and review link.

How often is the AI companion pricing index updated?
Each row shows the date we last checked that app against its official source. Rows marked "Not yet dated" are queued for a re-check; until then, treat their prices as unconfirmed. The CSV is rebuilt from the same data as the table.
Why is the realistic monthly cost different from the advertised price?
Apps advertise a starting price. The bill can also include an annual charge paid upfront, add-on tiers, credit or token top-ups, tax and app-store pricing. Where a total cannot be confirmed without a checkout, we say so instead of guessing.
Can I use or cite this pricing data?
Yes. Quote figures or reuse the CSV with credit to Companion Scout and a link to this page. Check the row date before republishing a price, because apps change plans often.
Do affiliate relationships affect the index?
No. Every tracked app gets the same fields whether or not we have an affiliate link, and prices come from the apps’ own pages, terms or app-store listings, not from partners.
