Adult AI companions can combine a recurring plan with credits, premium messages, media or voice. That structure is not automatically unfair, but it becomes hard to evaluate when the checkout separates the price from the experience being advertised.
Ask for one cost story
Write down the plan price, billing interval, currency, included usage, extra-credit price and renewal rule. If a feature appears in a demo but is not listed in the plan, mark it unknown. Do not treat a promotional label as a specification.
Renewal should not be a surprise
A trustworthy flow shows the next charge before confirmation and makes cancellation discoverable from the account. A support-only exit may be legitimate in some systems, but it deserves a clear explanation and a record of the request.
Our billing test
We capture the checkout at the time of review, separate operator statements from observed screens, and revisit the account after a change. We never invent a price, conversion or included allowance from a third-party listing.
Use the billing ledger before any paid trial and compare it with our review method.
