Senior Reviewer, Pricing & Paywalls

Toronto, Canada Writing for Character AI since September 2026 1 guide written, 1 reviewed

Before moving into reviews I spent six years in subscription billing for mobile apps, so I read pricing pages the way an auditor reads receipts.

My job here is the math. I convert token bundles into a cost per message, log exactly where each free plan stops, and note which trials renew automatically and which don't. When an app says 'free', I want to know free for how long and for how many messages.

I update pricing tables whenever a platform changes a plan, and the date on each article tells you when I last checked.

Areas of expertise

  • Subscription pricing
  • Token and credit systems
  • Free trial terms
  • Cancellation and refunds

How Daniel tests

Separate test accounts per platform, a spreadsheet of message counts and token spend, and a prepaid card for checking trial renewals.
