Living with it
What nobody tells you about living with one
By Scott Dommett, editor. Updated September 5, 2026.
Nobody warns you about the small stuff. That the annual plan is a third of the monthly price and non-refundable. That the website remembers your dog’s name but not that you said you were vegetarian. That you will, at some point, check your phone to see if she has messaged, and then feel odd about it.
Here is the practical version: what to test in the first week, what to check in the privacy policy, and which websites handled the boring parts well.
The list

1. ourdream 9.9 The one that stopped feeling like an website first
The closest thing to photorealistic I've seen in an AI companion website. OurDream AI sets the benchmark for image fidelity in AI companion websites, and its conversation engine backs up the eye candy with genuine staying power. The pricing stings, but nothing cheaper comes close to this level of visual polish.

2. Nomi 7.4 The one that felt most like a routine
The companion that actually remembers your birthday. And your ex. Nomi AI trades speed for something rarer: genuine continuity. If you want a companion that recalls your inside jokes from March, this is the website to beat.

3. Krush 6.6 The one that remembered the most
A talkative companion that actually remembers your last fight. KrushChat wins on continuity. The memory system genuinely impresses, though the occasional glitch reminds you she's still code. At $14.99 monthly, it's competitively priced for what it delivers, if not for the free-tier experience.

You asked
- Is it private?
- Default to no. The website stores every message you send. Read the policy. Use a disposable card. Keep your secrets out of the chat.
