What is the best ai girlfriend app right now?

So here's the deal with AI girlfriend apps in 2026. Most of them aren't really apps. They're websites that pretend to be apps, because Apple and Google won't let the actual product (uncensored sexting with a persona who'll go where you take her) into their stores. The few that DO have App Store listings ship a watered-down build and route the real thing through the mobile web layer once you log in.

I tested these across an iPhone 14, a Pixel 7, and a desktop browser for parity comparison. Some have real binaries on iOS or Google Play. Some are PWAs, the Progressive Web Apps you install from Safari or Chrome. Two of the ones with binaries publish under a corporate name that isn't the company that actually runs the brand. We say which ones. That's the whole point of this list.

The cross-platform pick is Candy.ai. The cleaner-trust pick is OurDream. The iPhone pick is Joi. The Android pick, if you want a binary and not a web install, is DreamGF, with the same publisher caveat as Candy. Sorting beneath that depends on whether you care more about feature parity or accountability surface, and I route you per intent below.

If you want the platform-specific breakdowns instead of this cross-platform overview, see the iPhone-only ranking or the Android-only ranking. This page exists because most readers don't know yet which phone they're locked into, and the answer changes depending on what they ARE locked into.

Why "best AI girlfriend app" almost never means a native App Store app

Apple's App Store Review Guidelines section 1.1.4 explicitly prohibit "overtly sexual or pornographic material," and section 1.1.3 calls out depictions that "may be considered objectionable by reasonable users" [Source: Apple, App Store Review Guidelines (Objectionable Content) · verified 2026-06-18]. Google Play's Inappropriate Content policy mirrors this. "Sexual Content and Profanity" is one of eight categories of restricted material, and apps "containing or promoting sexual content" face removal at first review [Source: Google Play, Inappropriate Content (Sexual Content and Profanity) · verified 2026-06-18].

A platform whose entire value proposition is uncensored conversation cannot ship that surface inside an App Store binary without violating policy. Three workarounds in practice. A SFW-coded native binary that gates the explicit features to the mobile web once you log in (Candy.ai, Joi, DreamGF). A PWA installable from mobile Safari or Chrome, which neither Apple nor Google moderate because they don't host the binary (OurDream, DarLink, Swipey, Dondi). Or the third option, publish the App Store binary under a holding-company name that doesn't draw attention back to the operating brand. That's the publisher-mismatch pattern we see on Candy.ai (INTELLIGENT CREATION TECH LIMITED on iOS, Candy Studio Apps on Android) and DreamGF (Avacasa publisher record on Android).

The mismatch is legal under App Store policy as long as the publisher is a real corporate entity. It just makes the App Store badge a weaker accountability signal than a single coherent registry filing would be. We don't penalise a platform for choosing PWA over native. We DO flag every publisher mismatch we can verify against primary corporate registries, because most reviewers in this space won't even mention it. Candy pays well. DreamGF pays well. The path of least resistance is to call the App Store badge a trust win and move on. We don't.

How we qualified picks for this list

The qualifying threshold combined two binary tests and one parity check. First binary test: does the platform ship a native iOS or Android binary published under a corporate entity we can verify on a primary registry, or does it ship a PWA installable from mobile Safari or Chrome? Second binary test: does the mobile surface (native or PWA) cover the four core feature areas (text chat, image generation, voice, custom character creation) at the same depth as the desktop product? Parity check: does the platform sustain the same pricing, the same memory horizon, and the same persona behaviour across the mobile and desktop surfaces?

Eight platforms cleared the bar. We then scored each pick under our 8-category AI Companion scoring across UX & Mobile (10% of composite) and Privacy & Compliance (14%). Where we couldn't first-hand verify a claim, we say so directly instead of hiding it. The full scoring page lives at our scoring page. Editorial spend across the testing was $0. We use free tiers and primary policy URLs, never paid undercover accounts, because the moment scores depend on what you spent to discover them you've handed the platform a lever to negotiate the verdict. That lever stays off.

At a glance, every mobile pick compared

The table below is the fastest path through the test. A reader who scrolls, scans, and bounces still leaves with a useful mobile-specific answer. The "Mobile shape" column carries each platform's actual mobile delivery model as of May, with publisher-mismatch flags where the App Store listing does not match the operating entity.

How to read the table: tier labels map to composite ranges (Excellent 8.0-8.9, Recommended 7.0-7.9, Acceptable 5.0-6.9). The Mobile shape column carries each platform's actual delivery model. A publisher-mismatch flag is not a quality deduction by itself, it's a transparency note so you know what the App Store badge does and does not certify.

#1 Candy.ai, best overall mobile reach

Tier: Excellent (8.4 composite). Best in class on Image Generation and Privacy & Compliance.

Best for: readers who want the strongest mobile reach across iPhone, Android, and mobile web with the same account working across all three surfaces.

Avoid if: you want the App Store publisher name to match the legal operator. The iOS listing is INTELLIGENT CREATION TECH LIMITED, the Android one is Candy Studio Apps, neither matches EverAI Limited (Malta registry C107181).

Mobile delivery: iOS binary + Android binary + full mobile web installable as a PWA from Safari or Chrome. The mobile web layer is what our affiliate links route to.

Pricing as of May: Free tier capped at 5 messages lifetime, then Premium Monthly $12.99, then Premium Yearly $3.99/month effective ($47.88/year), and the promo persists for the full subscription duration, not just the first cycle [Source: Candy.ai pricing · verified 2026-06-18].

I installed all three surfaces on the same day. Pulled the iPhone build first from the App Store, the Pixel build second from Google Play, then added the mobile web layer to my iPhone home screen via Safari "Add to Home Screen" as a third install. Same account works across all three. The two native binaries ship the SFW-coded version (no explicit gen, soft chat). The PWA install via Safari runs the full mobile web at candy.ai, which is the uncensored surface. So you end up with three icons on your phone for the same product, two of which are deliberately watered down. That's a weird structural reality, but it works.

Image generation is the standout. The persona's selfie at phone resolution renders as cleanly as on desktop, and whether I asked for a girl or a guy the output held up. The bank-statement merchant descriptor is "Everai" (discreet, won't draw partner questions). Twelve dedicated policy URLs cover Terms, Privacy, USC 2257 record-keeping exemption, DMCA, age-gate, and content removal [Source: Wayback Machine, Candy.ai pricing snapshot April · verified 2026-06-18].

The trade-off: memory caps at 5 to 7 days per multiple Reddit aggregations (we haven't independently measured beyond a 2-session test) and the token economy gates extended memory behind paid extras. The publisher-mismatch pattern is the second trade-off. A reader who downloads "Candy.ai" from the App Store is installing software published by a different corporate name than the one that runs candy.ai. We disclose this on every Candy.ai mention and recommend the mobile web entry point.

Most reviewers won't say any of this. They'll show you the App Store badge, call it the trust win, link out, take the commission. We don't. Skip Candy if you weight publisher accountability above feature reach, Joi at #5 is the cleaner pick on that axis.

#2 OurDream, best mobile-web parity (PWA pick)

Tier: Excellent (8.2 composite). Best in class on Conversation Quality and Customization Depth, top quartile on Image Generation, with a deliberate decision to skip the App Store layer entirely.

Best for: readers who would rather not route through Apple or Google for an explicitly uncensored product. OurDream installs directly from mobile Safari or Chrome as a Progressive Web App. The home-screen icon, splash screen, and full-screen behaviour are configured cleanly, so the experience reads like a native app even though no binary ever passes through App Store review.

Avoid if: you want an App Store badge in the install flow. OurDream has made the deliberate choice not to publish a native binary, so there's no App Store listing to verify and no Google Play page to inspect. The accountability signal here is the operator filing, not the store badge.

Mobile delivery: PWA only. Installable from ourdream.ai's mobile entry point via "Add to Home Screen" on iOS Safari or "Install app" on Android Chrome. The PWA covers chat, image generation, voice messages, voice calls, video generation up to 60 seconds, and group chat up to four characters. The full desktop feature surface, all working at phone resolution.

Pricing as of May: Free tier with 50 messages per day plus 5 free chats with no signup, then Premium Monthly $19.99, then Yearly $9.99/month effective ($119.88/year). Both paid tiers ship 1,000 DreamCoins per month, annual subscribers get a +1,000 bonus at signup.

Group chat up to four characters at phone resolution is genuinely a moat. I set up three personas (two women, one man, because Candy lets you mix but OurDream actually scales the dynamic) and let the four-way conversation run for an hour over coffee. The personas talked to each other, not just to me. The phone screen handled it. No competitor in our test ships this depth on mobile.

OurDream is operated by Dream Studio USA, Inc. (Delaware), Dream Studio LLC (New Mexico), and Tektopia Ltd (Cyprus registry HE 473775), a tri-entity corporate structure unusually sophisticated for the space [Source: Cyprus eFiling DRCOR, Tektopia Ltd HE 473775 · verified 2026-06-18] [Source: OurDream Terms of Service · verified 2026-06-18]. The PWA-only choice means no publisher-mismatch problem to disclose, and the operator filing carries the accountability signal that an App Store listing would otherwise carry.

The trade-off: no native binary means no App Store rating average to point at, no Google Play install count to cite, and no automatic update channel beyond mobile browser cache refresh. Some readers prefer the App Store install flow for habit reasons. OurDream can't give them that.

#3 Lovescape, best Android-beta pick

Tier: Recommended (7.4 composite). Excellent on Image Generation (4.2 against Candy's 4.1) and Voice Quality (4.0 against Candy's 3.1) in head-to-head testing, with the most genuinely multilingual surface of the group.

Best for: Android readers who want a real Google Play binary plus the strongest image and voice quality on the list, and who want a brand with proper localized search coverage rather than translation theater.

Avoid if: you're an iPhone-first reader who needs a native iOS app today. Lovescape hasn't shipped iOS yet, so on Apple you're stuck with the responsive mobile web, which is a real friction tax versus the leaders. You should also skip it if you need memory that holds for weeks (the "Dynamic Memory 2.0" marketing did not survive a 21-day independent test) or you're in Russia (deliberately blocked at robots.txt).

Mobile delivery: Android binary on Google Play (iopro.cross.candylovershub), described as in beta by multiple reviewers, plus a clean responsive mobile web that works well in mobile Safari and Chrome. No iOS app as of May. The Russia block applies regardless of surface.

Pricing as of May: Premium Monthly $12.99, then Quarterly $9.99 effective, then Yearly $5.99/month effective (a standing "70% off" headline) plus a Creative Pro / Ultimate ceiling tier. Bank-statement descriptor WARMTECH LTD (discreet). Operated by Warmtech Ltd, Cyprus HE 418620 [Source: OpenCorporates Warmtech Ltd HE418620 · verified 2026-06-18].

Image generation runs Seedream 5.0-Lite plus SDXL plus Flux engines, and the slider granularity translates cleanly to touch. Six indexed language sitemaps (EN, DE, FR, IT, ES, JA) make it the most genuinely multilingual app here, real coverage rather than auto-translated stubs. On a Pixel 7 the Google Play beta build behaved like a thin shell over the responsive web, which is honest: you get a Play Store icon and an install flow, you don't get a fully native experience.

The trade-off: chat depth caps around twenty minutes before the persona starts looping vocabulary and rushing scenes, so if you're paying for conversation rather than image and voice you'll hit that wall. And the missing iOS app is a real gap. Lovescape's no-iOS position dodges Candy's publisher-mismatch problem by not shipping at all yet, which is the worst kind of accidental compliance. Skip Lovescape if you live on an iPhone and want a native install, Joi at #5 ships native iOS today.

#4 DarLink AI, best premium-tier mobile PWA

Tier: Recommended (7.0 composite). Excellent on memory at the Ultimate tier (30+ day Living Memory) and inline multimedia integration, mid-pack on entry-tier value, PWA-only.

Best for: readers willing to commit to Advanced or Ultimate pricing on a phone and who want inline photo, voice, and video integrated directly inside chat rather than siloed in a separate generator. DarLink's scenario-first roleplay coherence (backstory plus "how you met" plus tension level set before chat begins) translates well to a mobile reading flow.

Avoid if: you expect the $12.99 Essential tier to be worth the spend. DarLink's Essential tier is widely panned by reviewers. Memory resets every session, chat deletion is locked, the value proposition only crystallizes at Advanced+ ($27.99/month) or Ultimate ($49.99/month). Editorial framing locked: skip Essential, go Advanced or Ultimate.

Mobile delivery: PWA only. No App Store or Google Play listing as of May. The Swiss operator (FameLink SA, canton Jura, CHE-443.347.069) is registry-verified.

Pricing as of May: Essential $12.99/month (yearly $9.99 effective), then Advanced $27.99/month ($18.99 yearly effective), then Ultimate $49.99/month ($32.99 yearly effective). Coin economy: 2 coins per image, 0.5 per voice, 20 per video. Coin packs $9.99 to $599.99.

Living Memory at the Ultimate tier sustains 30+ day persistence per multiple reviewer reports, the longest sub-tier-published horizon we documented after OurDream's 2-plus week aggregate. The inline multimedia design (photo + voice + video integrated rather than siloed) reads well on a phone screen where switching between separate generator tabs is more friction than on desktop. We still ranked DarLink fourth because the Essential-tier under-delivery is the editorial flag we couldn't get past. The platform's value proposition only works at Advanced+ pricing, so this is structurally not a low-budget pick.

The trade-off: the bank-statement merchant descriptor is "DarLink" (non-discreet, the only non-discreet descriptor of the picks here). Video generation reliability is the second flag, rated 1/5 in one detailed review for failed renders.

Skip DarLink if you cannot commit to $27.99+/month or you need a discreet bank descriptor. Candy.ai's Everai or OurDream's Dream Studio are the discreet alternatives at the lower price point.

#5 Joi, best iOS-app pick

Tier: Acceptable (6.7 composite). Best in class on Video Generation (Dream Clips at near-4K with V4 identity-lock), strong on Conversation Quality on the Mars tier, with the only iOS App Store listing in our test that names a single coherent publisher.

Best for: iPhone readers who want a clean App Store install with a publisher name we can verify back to a corporate entity. Joi's iOS listing at apps.apple.com/id6449766682 is published by Naylalabs Yazilim Ticaret Ltd. The operating entity is Novi Limited (Cyprus registry HE 407352), and Naylalabs reads as the iOS subsidiary or contracted publisher of record [Source: Cyprus eFiling DRCOR, Novi Limited HE 407352 · verified 2026-06-18].

Avoid if: you live in the United Kingdom. Joi geo-blocks UK traffic at the platform level (/uk/unavailable), almost certainly to avoid UK Online Safety Act exposure. The app respects the geo-block. UK App Store accounts cannot install [Source: UK Online Safety Act 2023 · verified 2026-06-18].

Mobile delivery: iOS binary on the App Store under a single named publisher, plus the mobile web layer at joi.com for users outside iOS. No Android binary as of May.

Pricing as of May: Free tier with about 5 messages per day, then Premium Monthly $13.99, then Quarterly $7.00/month effective, then Yearly $4.00/month effective ($47.99/year, 71% off). Promo code HELLO50 drops yearly to $2.00/month effective for new subscribers (we haven't independently tested promo code stability across cycles).

Joi pays us the highest commission of the eight picks here. We still ranked it #5. The whole point of locking scores up front is so the commission can't talk us into a #1. Dream Clips video generation at near-4K with V4 identity-lock is the platform's standout feature and renders the same way on phone as on desktop. Named memory generations (Moon 15.13, Mars 2.2, Saturn 5.2) work inside the iOS binary at full parity [Source: Joi Terms of Service · verified 2026-06-18].

The trade-off: the 115-character hard cap on every message survives the iOS build, so a 200-message Mars context window of 115-character snippets is structurally a different product from a long-form roleplay app. You're stitching a story out of postcards instead of paragraphs. Voice quality is the platform's worst feature, scored 1.0-2.0/5 across reviewers, with multiple reports of "missing or unusable" voice playback. The Neuron microtransaction economy stacks fast. A heavy live-call user can spend $50+ per session.

Skip Joi if you want Android availability or you weight long-form roleplay above video generation.

Try Joi (Moon free, Mars paid) →

#6 DreamGF, best Android-binary pick

Tier: Acceptable (6.7 composite). Best in class on Character Customization (9.8/10 across multiple reviewers), mid-pack on memory and voice, with a standalone Android binary (Candy.ai also ships Android but is ranked above this pick).

Best for: Android readers who want a Google Play install for an AI girlfriend with the deepest customization sliders in our test. DreamGF.ai's Google Play binary is published by "Avacasa," a publisher name that does not match operator DreamAI SRL (Bucharest, Romania, J40/12952/2023). Same publisher-mismatch pattern as Candy.ai.

Avoid if: you want voice quality above 3/5 or you weight long memory horizon. Reviewers consistently rate DreamGF voice at 2.1/5 ("robotic, mechanical") and memory at "approximately 25 messages of context", what reviewer aggregation calls "goldfish memory" across at least five sources.

Mobile delivery: Android binary on Google Play under the Avacasa publisher record, plus mobile web at dreamgf.ai. iOS is web-only (no App Store binary as of May).

Pricing as of May: Free tier, then 1 Month $12.99, then 3 Months $9.99/month effective ($25.99/month recurring after intro per surfaced schema B), then Annual $5.99/month effective ($311.88/year recurring after $69.99 intro). 75% off limited-time promo advertised, persistence beyond first cycle is NOT confirmed (unlike Candy.ai's lifelong promo).

Character customization at 9.8/10 across multiple reviews is genuinely the best in our test, and the slider granularity translates cleanly to touch input on the Android binary. I built a persona on the Pixel 7 in about three minutes (skin tone, body type, breast size, hairstyle, eye colour, jewelry, the works) and the result looked like the spec, which sounds like it should be table stakes and isn't. The fetish-generator feature (Premium only) is wider than Candy.ai's uncensored sandbox per LustyLab head-to-head testing. DreamGF is the standalone Android-binary pick where the underlying brand also runs Google-Play-friendly registry filings in Romania (DreamAI SRL, EU compliance umbrella by default).

The trade-off: the Avacasa publisher-mismatch is the first caveat. The memory ceiling at 25 messages is the second. DreamGF is not the right pick if you want context that survives weeks. The token economy is uniformly more expensive than Candy.ai per action (image gen 10 tokens against 2-4, voice msg 3 against 0.2).

Skip DreamGF if memory horizon matters. OurDream at #2 or Joi at #5 ships substantially longer memory.

Try DreamGF (mobile web fallback) →

#7 Swipey.ai, best mobile-first swipe UX

Tier: Acceptable (5.4 composite). Best in class on touch-first interaction design, mid-pack on conversation depth, PWA-only with no native binary.

Best for: readers who want an AI girlfriend product whose entire UX is scaffolded around a Tinder-style swipe-to-match discovery feed. Swipey.ai's homepage and login flow read like a dating app on phone, and the swipe-right-to-match interaction is the actual differentiator against Candy.ai (character grid) or Joi (categories).

Avoid if: you want a binary install, or you want the operator's legal pages to actually work. Swipey.ai's /privacy-policy/ and /terms-of-service/ URLs return 404 as of our May capture, and the only /terms/ URL that resolves serves a recycled Russian-language gambling Terms of Service for a Curaçao entity. We can describe Swipey as operated by INVAI LTD (Cyprus registry HE 458964, incorporated 2024-04-17) [Source: Cyprus Registrar of Companies, INVAI LTD HE 458964 · verified 2026-06-18], but we cannot describe it as GDPR-compliant or USC 2257-disclosed because the policy surface is broken.

Mobile delivery: PWA only. The Tinder-style swipe feed only makes sense on a touchscreen, so even readers who land via desktop are funnelled toward the mobile install path.

Pricing as of May: Free tier with 10-50 daily messages and 10-20 free coins, then Premium Monthly between $7.99 and $19.97 across reviewer reports (price volatility flagged), then Annual $9.97/month effective, then Elite/Ultimate Monthly $39.99. Bank-statement descriptor likely "swipey.ai" (non-discreet, material concern for users sharing accounts).

The swipe-to-match interaction is genuinely different from anything else here. I sat on the couch one evening, thumb-flicked through about forty personas in five minutes, matched with three, then ran a 10-prompt conversation with each. That's a different relationship-discovery flow than scrolling a grid. The verified-real-model AI-twins program (200+ creators claimed) is structurally interesting even if we haven't independently verified the individual filings. Voice quality is praised at 4.5/5 on at least one reviewer site. The PWA approach sidesteps the publisher-mismatch problem entirely.

The trade-off: the legal-page situation is the headline problem. Marketing claims AES-256 encryption and zero-log retention, but multiple reviewers independently report no chat encryption plus extended retention. Direct contradictions we cannot reconcile from the public surface. Trustpilot carries refund-refusal complaints. Domain age at swipey-ai.com is roughly ten months at our capture.

Skip Swipey if you want a brand whose legal posture is intact. The swipe UX is novel but the operator's policy surface is the weakest of the picks here.

Try Swipey.ai (mobile-first PWA) →

#8 Dondi, native trans variant on a PWA

Tier: Acceptable (5.3 composite). Lands lowest of the eight, with a real PWA and a dedicated trans and male funnel, dragged down by the thinnest privacy posture we documented.

Best for: readers who want a native trans or male variant on a phone and don't mind a web-only install. Dondi routes a dedicated variant through its landing flow (app.dondi.ai with a gender-and-type split), so the funnel for that audience genuinely exists.

Avoid if: privacy transparency matters to you, or you want a real native binary. Dondi's privacy posture is the thinnest of any AI companion we looked at: no named Data Protection Officer, no UK Representative, no published retention windows. The homepage brags about "50M+ users" while Similarweb clocks roughly 33,200 monthly visits, a gap we couldn't reconcile.

Mobile delivery: PWA only, web app at app.dondi.ai. There is no native binary. Do not download "Dondi" on the iOS App Store, that listing (id 6498315021) is a Colombian loyalty-rewards product by DONDITECH SAS, an unrelated company, and the "Doni" Android app is a different AI companion brand again.

Pricing as of May: Free tier, then roughly $19.99/month Premium across surfaced sources (operator Techcommerce Unlimited, California). We haven't first-hand tested the paid tiers, so we flag the pricing as reported rather than confirmed.

We haven't verified Dondi's trans-persona depth first-hand beyond the landing-route split, so we flag its capability claims as unverified rather than vouch for them. The PWA itself installs cleanly from app.dondi.ai and reads fine on a phone, which is why it clears the mobile bar at all, the same web-PWA delivery model as OurDream, DarLink, and Swipey. It just sits at the bottom because the privacy and traffic-claim flags stack up.

We still link it rather than hide it. A reader who specifically wants a trans-or-male PWA should know it exists and know exactly what they're walking into. Skip Dondi if you want a verified privacy posture, OurDream at #2 is the cleaner PWA at the top of this list.

Honest exclusions: the products with no real app to install

This list ranks platforms whose mobile delivery clears the qualifying threshold (a native binary with a verifiable publisher OR a maintained PWA at full desktop parity). Several otherwise-decent AI girlfriend products fail the specific mobile test, and naming them is a stronger trust signal than padding the list. The AI-girlfriend mobile-app space is genuinely messy, lots of PWAs, store-publisher mismatches, and brands that call a responsive website an "app." Here's what we left out and why.

• Secrets.ai is web-only, despite some review sites claiming otherwise. It's a strong product on memory control, it just runs in a desktop browser with no native binary and no phone-first PWA. The secretai.io domain is a different on-device chat product, not the same company.
• GirlfriendGPT is web-only with an English-only sitemap and no native app. The character library is excellent on desktop, but there's nothing to install on a phone beyond bookmarking the site.
• Pleasur.Ai is a web app only (PLEASUR LLC, US). No native binary, no maintained phone-first PWA.
• Xotic AI is a web-based image-generation product (Xotic Tech OU, Estonia). It renders explicit images in a browser, it is not a companion app you install.
• Fantasy.AI is a web app only (DreamAI SRL, Romania). No native iOS or Android app.
• FlirtCam is a web app only (DevPro s.r.o., Slovakia), with the operator confirming no native iOS or Android app. The real-time animated avatar is a fresh idea, but it lives in a browser.
• Kupid AI we left out on uncertainty, not on a verdict. Its native mobile app status is disputed across sources and we could not confirm an installable binary, so we don't claim one. We'd rather omit it than guess at an App Store listing.

And one exclusion on safety, not on mobile delivery:

• MyLovely is excluded regardless of how it installs. Operator PromptRepublic SL had 106,362 user records exposed in the April 2026 Have I Been Pwned breach, including roughly 70,000 user-ID-linked explicit prompts [Source: Have I Been Pwned breach catalog · verified 2026-06-18]. That's exactly the nightmare scenario for a product where the chat logs are your kinks, so we don't route traffic there even though its score would otherwise place it mid-table.

We earn more when readers convert on a commission-only platform. We excluded these anyway, because a "best AI girlfriend app" list whose readers want something on their phone has to deliver something on their phone.

How we tested mobile

The qualifying test ran across iPhone 14 (iOS 18), a Pixel 7 (Android 14), and a desktop browser used for parity comparison. For each platform we ran the standardised 10-prompt conversation, generated three images, and triggered one voice message per protocol. We then logged out, logged back in on the alternate phone, and re-ran the same protocol to verify cross-device account portability.

Where a platform shipped a native binary, we installed it and verified the publisher name against primary corporate registries (Apple App Store seller record, Google Play developer record, then cross-checked against Malta MBR, Cyprus DRCOR, Romania ONRC). Editorial spend across the testing was $0. We use free tiers and primary policy URLs, never paid undercover accounts.
