Maya Linden

Maya Linden is the lead editor of The Best AI Girlfriend App. She reads each app's pricing page, privacy policy and terms, records what they say with the date she checked, and writes the research pages on this site.

What Maya covers

• What each app costs per month once tokens and add-ons are counted.
• What happens to your chats, according to the app's own privacy policy.
• How to cancel, and what the terms say about refunds.

How she checks a page

Every claim on a page links to its source and carries the date she checked it. She scores an app on the 100-point rubric only after a paid hands-on test. No app has finished one yet, so the research pages give no scores.

Maya writes under a pen name. The rules she follows are in the editorial policy and the affiliate disclosure. To report an error, use the contact page.
