About Aitryvo
Know the AI before you try it.
Who we are
Aitryvo is an independent publication for readers anywhere in the world, founded and edited by Mwangi. We write in English about AI products that people pay for: subscriptions, apps and devices. Our aim is simple: help you decide whether something deserves your money before you spend it.
Who edits Aitryvo
Mwangi founded Aitryvo and edits every piece before it is published. Our guides start from official documentation, pricing pages and policies, and each review says plainly what was checked and what could not be verified. You can reach the editor at hello@aitryvo.com.
What we cover
We focus on AI companion and character chat apps, and the problems people have with them.
- Fixes: step-by-step help for logins, memory loss, filters, errors and billing.
- Alternatives: where to go when an app changes, breaks or gets too expensive, with the trade-offs shown.
- What's new: dated, sourced notes on changes to prices, rules and features.
- Worth it: what a paid plan actually adds, and who should skip it.
- Safety: privacy, age rules, scams and healthy use, written calmly.
- Guides, comparisons and reviews of AI subscriptions more broadly, plus free tools such as the Companion Matcher and Roleplay Studio.
Coverage of companion apps is always non-graphic. See our age and content policy.
How we check
We verify facts against each app's official help pages, pricing, terms and privacy policy, and for fixes and outages we also read recent community reports, saying clearly when something is reported rather than confirmed. Every guide lists its sources with the date each was accessed. Guides about fast-moving topics show a Checked on date for when their facts were last verified, and a dated "What changed in this guide" box whenever they are updated. We never claim hands-on testing we did not do.
How we label our evidence
Every article carries one of three labels: Documentation-based review, Hands-on tested or Not yet independently tested. We do not claim to have tested something unless we have. Each article lists its sources with the date we checked them. Read how we review.
How we make money
We carry no advertising and no company has paid for coverage. We are in four affiliate programmes (Nomi, SpicyChat, CrushOn and Nectar AI), so links to those apps on a few guides may earn us a commission if you subscribe, at no extra cost to you. Each of those guides says so near the top. See our affiliate disclosure for the full list.
Any page with affiliate links says so clearly at the top, and commissions never decide our verdicts. See our affiliate disclosure and editorial policy.
