Methodology, affiliate disclosure, and operating policies

HosaAI compares platforms across these criteria: Companion quality and conversation realism; Character customization and memory controls; Image, voice, or media features; Pricing transparency and cancellation clarity; Privacy policy, data controls, and deletion options; Safety, content rules, and age restrictions; Mobile usability and onboarding friction; Support, documentation, and account management.

The visible HosaAI score is an editorial score, not a user aggregate rating and not a provider-supplied rating. It is based on the criteria above, visible product behavior, and dated source records for provider facts.

Each factual claim should map to a dated source record. Provider features, pricing, and policies can change, so source checks are refreshed when claims are updated.

Some outbound links may be affiliate links. If an affiliate URL is present, HosaAI may earn compensation when a visitor clicks or signs up.

Affiliate disclosure must appear at or above each affiliate CTA. Affiliate URLs are used for CTAs only; official URLs remain the source of truth for schema and references.

HosaAI treats AI companion platforms as an adult-sensitive category and includes a lightweight 18+ confirmation overlay.

The overlay is client-side and does not remove crawlable editorial HTML.

HosaAI is the editorial author of the rankings. Ratings are opinion, not user aggregate ratings, and should be supported by a published review method.

Correction requests should go to contact@hosaai.com.

The site targets WCAG 2.2 AA, body text contrast of at least 4.5:1, reduced-motion support, and solid-color fallbacks for liquid-glass surfaces.

Performance targets are LCP under 2.5 seconds on mobile, CLS under 0.1, stable ranked-card dimensions, and no text overflow at 360px.

The default analytics choice is Vercel Analytics, which is expected not to require a cookie banner in this v1 setup.

If HosaAI switches to GA4 or another non-essential cookie-based tracker, consent handling must be added before enabling that service.

The Vercel configuration includes a content security policy, X-Content-Type-Options, strict-origin referrer policy, HSTS, and a restricted permissions policy.

The canonical host is the apex https://hosaai.com, with www redirected to apex.

Source checks should be refreshed on a regular editorial cadence and before any rating, price, privacy, safety, or subscription claim changes.

Every final claim should have a matching per-claim source record with field, value, sourceUrl, and checkedAt.
