We use the product ourselves.
A paid membership on every site, used for a month. That is the one source we make, and it is what the feature verdicts come from.
AI girlfriend data tools · Where the numbers come from
A figure is only as good as its source, so each of ours gets a page. What the tool is, who runs it, why it can be relied on, exactly which numbers we take from it, and what it cannot tell us. Nothing here is a number we made up, and nothing here is a number we cannot point at.

How the numbers are made
01
A paid membership on every site, used for a month. That is the one source we make, and it is what the feature verdicts come from.
02
YouTube transcripts, the Reddit threads Google surfaces and the press, each read in full and classified. Two of the tools below are for that.
03
Visits, searches by name, popularity, links and Google positions, pulled from the same tools in the same order every month, so sites can be compared instead of described.
The measuring tools
Visits, searches, popularity, links and Google positions. Each tool is pulled on the same schedule for every site, and every figure on a profile names the tool and the month it covers.
DataForSEO
Search data API
The search data behind most numbers on this site: traffic estimates, ranked keywords, links and live Google results.
Google Ads keyword data
Search volume data
Google's own count of how many people search a term each month, which is how we measure demand.
Tranco
Domain popularity ranking
A research-grade ranking of the top million domains, built to resist manipulation, used here as the all-traffic signal.
Google Chrome UX Report
Real-user dataset
Google's own popularity tiers, taken from how real Chrome users browse, used as a cross-check on Tranco.
Ahrefs
Backlink index and crawler
One of the largest independent web crawlers and backlink indexes. We use exactly one number from it: Domain Rating.
SerpApi
Search results API
Fetches what Google and YouTube actually showed, including video transcripts, so we can read sources instead of headlines.
Google Trends
Relative search interest
The shape of interest over time: when a term rose, when it peaked, where it is searched most.
What users publish
Not tools so much as sources. We read the most-watched videos through their transcripts and the Reddit threads Google surfaces with their top comments, classify each one after reading it in full, and record it on the brand’s profile.
YouTube
Primary source, user-published
Where most hands-on reviews of these products live. We read the transcripts, not the titles.
Primary source, user-published
What users say when no one is selling anything, read directly with the votes and comments attached.
