Ranking changelog
Reader-facing product moves only: roster changes, score updates, and category winners. Same source as the changelog on methodology. Ops pass logs stay in docs, not here.
- Trust & safety refresh: removed GirlfriendGPT, Romantic AI, Eva AI, and Kupid AI after phishing, tracker, privacy, or billing-risk reports; added Kindroid, Nomi.ai, PolyBuzz, and Character.AI.
- Coverage expansion: added Janitor AI (8.2), HammerAI (7.9), and Backyard AI (7.8) for free text roleplay and local-privacy companions; skipped Muah AI (2024 breach), CrushOn.ai (Mozilla Privacy Not Included), and GPTGirlfriend (trust-removed GirlfriendGPT cluster).
- Published top scores after re-tests: Candy.ai 9.3, Nectar AI 9.2, OurDream AI 8.7. Best voice → Kindroid; Best for memory → Nomi.ai. Candy.ai live pricing confirmed ($13.99/mo + token packs).

- Editorial re-rank after re-testing: Candy.ai moves to #1 overall (9.3); Nectar AI to #2 (9.2). Scores follow published weights — not sponsorship.

- Rebalanced pricing-value scores after credit-pack checks on Candy.ai and Nectar AI; SpicyChat edged up on free-tier usefulness.
