# About PromptPlay

A note from Troy

Hi, I'm Troy. I edit every page on PromptPlay.

The reviews here check how AI story games, character chat apps and companions hold up after the first hour: whether the writing repeats, whether characters remember you, whether anything happens, and what it costs once you care.

If something on a page is wrong, email me at <troy@promptplay.io>. Fixes go on the page with a new Updated date.

Rules

## Editorial rules

1. ### 1. Categories get conceded by name

   When another app is better at something, the ranking says which app and what it is better at. Our top pick does not win every category, and the awards say so.

2. ### 2. Every app gets watch-outs

   Including the apps we rank first. Every app, whoever makes it, gets the same rubric, the same receipts and the same watch-outs.

3. ### 3. Prices are dated

   Prices change. Every price is written as true at this review, and the review date is on the page.

4. ### 4. No invented facts

   Every claim about an app comes from a receipt: source text copied word for word, with the link and the day we read it. No receipt, no claim.

The full scoring method, the rubric and the freshness rule are on [How we test](/methodology). The rankings start at [Rankings](/best).
