Every price, change and shutdown on this site comes from one set of records, and you can have them: 108 plan prices for 21 AI companion apps, 108 dated changes and 17 shutdowns, as plain CSV files. Each row names the page it was read on and the day we read it. Free to use with credit.

The files

File	Rows	One row is
apps.csv	39	One row per app in the tracker, living or dead.
prices.csv	108	One row per plan price we read on an app's own pricing page, help pages, terms or US App Store listing. Nothing here comes from a review site.
app-store-purchases.csv	79	The in-app purchase list from each app's US App Store listing, word for word. Apple shows at most ten and does not say which plan a line belongs to, so the labels are not mapped to plans.
changelog.csv	108	One row per dated change we recorded: price moves, plan and policy changes, removals from app stores, shutdowns, and laws that bind these apps.
changes-before-after.csv	42	For the changes that have a full record: the old value and the new value of each thing that moved, quoted or read from the dated sources on the record page.
graveyard.csv	17	One row per companion app, plan or product that shut down, was gutted or was removed, with the notice its users got.

UTF-8, comma-separated, one header row. The files are rebuilt whenever the site is, so go by the dates inside them (checked_on, date, updated), and note the day you downloaded if you need to cite a fixed copy.

How the records are made

Prices are read at the source. We open the app's own pricing page, help pages and terms, plus its US App Store and Google Play listings, logged out, from a US connection. Nothing is taken from review sites. A price we could not read ourselves has no row in prices.csv, and its app shows prices_verified = false.
Every row carries its source and date. We keep the text of each page as we read it, and a script checks every quoted figure against that text before it is published. The quotes are on each app page under "Receipts".
Changes are dated from the app's side where possible: the date on its own notice, changelog or help page. Where a change was made quietly, the date is the range between our two readings, and the full records say so in date_basis.
Store ids join to other datasets. 9 apps have a confirmed official App Store or Google Play listing; the rest are web-only or have only lookalike listings, which we leave out.

What the data cannot tell you

Prices are what a logged-out US visitor is shown. These apps run price tests and charge differently by country, so another visitor can see another number.
Apple lists at most ten in-app purchases per app and does not say which plan each belongs to. app-store-purchases.csv keeps Apple's labels as they are and maps nothing.
There are no user counts, revenue or traffic figures. We record what apps charge and what they change, not how many people pay.
The record starts on 2026-07-02. Earlier events are in the changelog and graveyard only where a dated primary source still exists.
nsfw and free_tier are our reading of each app's rules and limits, by the definitions in the column notes below.

What each column means

apps.csv · 22 columns
