How to reach me

Every message to AI Partner Guides reaches Chris Furrey directly. There is no support team, no ticket system and no chatbot in between, and no one else reads your message first. The simplest way to write is by email:

Email is by far the quickest. Post is there for formal letters, such as legal notices, and takes as long as post takes. There is no contact form yet; when one is added, it will send to the same inbox.

I read every message myself. I cannot promise a reply within a fixed number of hours, because the site is run by one person, but corrections are always handled first. A message about a wrong price or a changed policy matters to every reader of that page, so it goes to the top.

What to write about

The most useful messages are the ones that make a page more accurate for everyone.

  • Corrections. A price has changed, a free tier has shrunk, a plan has been renamed, a policy now says something different. Include the page address, what the page says, what you see now, and where you saw it. A screenshot of the pricing screen with the date visible is ideal. Tell me which country you are in, because several apps price by region.
  • Questions about a page. If something on a review or list is unclear, ask. If the question is likely to come up again, the answer may be added to the page for the next reader.
  • Broken links. If a link goes nowhere, or goes somewhere other than its label says, please report it. A sales button that opens the wrong app is treated as a bug and fixed.
  • Suggestions for apps to cover. If an app you use is missing, name it. An app gets a record when people are looking for it and it is open to new users.

What makes a correction easy to check

A correction is checked against a source before the record changes, so the more of the source you include, the faster it goes. The best evidence is the app's own page: a link to its pricing screen, help article or terms, or a screenshot of the in-app pricing screen with the date visible. An app store listing works well for prices of in-app purchases.

A post on a forum or a video is useful as a pointer, but the record will only change once an official page or a logged-in screen confirms it.

Some changes are hard to see from outside. A free tier can be smaller for a new account than for an old one, or different on the phone app and on the web. If that is what you have noticed, say how you signed up and on which device, and the page can describe the difference instead of picking one side.

The same goes for coupons: a code that worked for a new account may not work for an old one, and the page should say that if it is true.

Problems with the site itself

If a page does not load, a table is cut off on your phone, a button is too small to tap or a link is broken, please say which page and which device and browser you were using. The site is built to work on small screens first, so a layout problem on a phone is treated as a real bug, not a matter of taste.

You do not need a special format, but a clear subject helps me find the page quickly. Something like "Correction: Candy AI free messages" or "Question: Secrets AI yearly plan" says everything I need before I open the message. Please do not send the same message several times; one copy is enough, and it will be read.

If you are writing about several pages, one message with a short list works better than many separate ones, because the fixes can then be made and rebuilt together.

What I cannot help with

Some problems belong with the app, not with this site. I cannot cancel a subscription for you, issue a refund, unlock an account, restore deleted chats or contact an app's support team on your behalf. The site has no access to your account and no special channel into any company.

What I can do is point you to the right place. Each review lists what is known about the app's cancel steps, its refund terms and the name that appears on your card statement, with the date those facts were checked. If you paid through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancellations and refund requests for that purchase go through the store.

If you paid by card on the web and the app does not answer, your card issuer can explain how to dispute a charge. If what you experience differs from what the review says, tell me, and the record will be corrected for the next reader.

I also cannot give legal, financial, medical or relationship advice. The site describes apps and their terms; it does not tell anyone how to live, and it will not start doing so in an email reply either.

If you are a company

Companies are welcome to write, whether to report a price change, point to a new policy page or ask about how their app is covered. Updated facts are checked like any other source, and they go into the record with the date and the page they came from. A link to the official page that shows the change is the fastest route.

A few things are not possible. A company cannot see a page before it is published, approve its text, or buy a change to a fact, a catch or a label. Proposals for an affiliate partnership can be sent to the same address; how partnerships work, and what they can and cannot influence, is set out on the affiliate disclosure page. Please read it before writing, because it answers most questions a partner is likely to ask.

If you believe a page about your product is wrong, say exactly which sentence and show the source. Corrections are made openly and logged on the corrections page with the date.

Formal notices, such as a claim that material on the site infringes your rights, can be sent by email or by post to the address above. Please include the address of the page, a description of the material and the basis of your claim. The operator's details and the legal points that apply to the site are set out in the legal notice.

Requests about personal data go to the privacy address, and the privacy policy explains what you can ask for.

Journalists and researchers are welcome too. If you are writing about AI companion apps and want to check a fact, ask. The records behind the site hold dated prices, free allowances and policies for each app, with the source of each fact, and I am happy to point you to the source rather than asking you to quote the site.

Please do not quote the site's opinions as facts; the verdicts are one writer's reading of the evidence.

Your privacy when you write

When you email the site, your message and your address are used to read and answer you, and for nothing else. They are not added to the newsletter, not shared with the apps the site covers, and not sold to anyone. If you want a message and your address deleted, say so and it will be done. The privacy policy explains how personal data is handled on the site in general.

You do not need to use your real name, and you do not need to send anything more than the facts. If you send a screenshot of a bank statement to show how a charge appears, crop it to the merchant line and the amount, and hide your account details first; the rest is never needed.

Who reads your message

By Chris FurreyFounder and writer Latest test Last checked How the apps are checked

I'm a freelance video editor in Denver, mostly weddings and real-estate listings, and I've used AI companion apps since spring 2023. I pay for the plans I use with my own card, log every charge in a subscriptions spreadsheet, and write down what the memory, the pricing and the pictures were really like, with the same eye I use for continuity errors at work.

Common questions about writing in

How quickly will I get a reply?

The site is run by one person, so there is no fixed reply time. Corrections come first, because a wrong fact affects every reader of the page. Other messages are answered as soon as possible, and nothing goes unread.

Can you help me get a refund from an app?

No. Refunds and cancellations are between you and the app, or the app store if you paid through one. The app's review lists what is known about its refund terms and cancel steps, with the date those facts were checked, which may help you ask the right way.

Should I send a screenshot of my bank statement?

Only if you want to show how a charge appears, and only the merchant name and amount. Crop out your name, account number and every other line first. The site never needs anything more than that.

Do you share my email with app developers?

No. Your address and your message stay with the site and are used only to answer you. If you ask for them to be deleted, they will be.

Why corrections matter so much

Prices and free tiers in this category change often, and a page can be right on Monday and wrong by Friday. Every fact on the site carries the date it was checked, and prices older than thirty days are hidden automatically, but that only protects you from stale numbers, not from a change that happened last week. Readers who notice a change and write in are the fastest way to catch it.

When a correction is made, the record is updated first, then every page that uses it is rebuilt, and the change is logged openly. You are welcome to be thanked there by first name, or not at all if you prefer.

What happens after you write

For a correction, the steps are always the same. The message is read and the source you sent is opened. If the source confirms the change, the app's record is updated with the new fact, the date and the link.

The site is then rebuilt, so every page that printed the old fact now shows the new one, from the review to the lists and comparison tables. Finally the change is logged on the corrections page and you get a reply saying what was changed. If the source does not confirm the change, you get a reply saying so, and what would be needed to confirm it.

For a question, you get an answer by email. If the same question is likely to come up again, the answer may also be added to the relevant page, without your name unless you ask for it.

Disagreeing with a verdict

Verdicts and scores on this site, such as who an app suits and who should skip it, are opinions built on the author's own use of the app and the facts in the record. You are welcome to disagree, and a good argument can change a page, especially if it points to a fact the page has missed. The same goes for the diary posts, which are opinion pieces from the start.

What will not change a page is a request to make it sound nicer or harsher without a fact behind it.

Messages the site does not answer

A small number of messages will not get a reply, and it is fair to say which. Offers to buy links, sell guest posts or place hidden advertising are not answered, because the site does not do any of those things. Messages that ask for help getting around an app's age checks or content rules are not answered either.

Anything abusive is deleted without a reply, whoever sends it. Everything else, including short questions, blunt criticism and messages that only say a page helped, is read and, where it needs an answer, answered.

A note for readers outside the United States

The site is operated from Alaska, but its readers are everywhere, and apps often show different prices, currencies and plans by country. When you write about a price, a line saying where you are makes the correction far more useful. If enough readers in one country see the same difference, the page can say so, so that the next reader there is not surprised at checkout.

Before you write

Many questions are already answered on the trust pages. The editorial policy explains where facts come from and what the review labels mean. The about page explains what the site covers and how it is funded. If your question is about one app, its review usually answers it in the billing notes or the FAQ at the bottom.

If it does not, write anyway; a question that a page cannot answer is a sign the page needs work. The site gets better one message at a time, and a short note that says "this part confused me" is often more useful than a long review of the whole page. Thank you for taking the time to write.
