Research draft: this guide remains outside search and the sitemap until every volatile policy and store source is reopened and its exact copy, evidence, safety language, and visual treatment receive accountable review.
Age requirements · source checked, never a youth ranking
9 of 17 tracked services currently publish a service-wide adult-only rule. The rest include jurisdiction-dependent rules, guardian-authorized use, split age-and-feature access, conflicting clauses, or exact-threshold ambiguity. There is no honest universal age number.
Short answer: check four things separately: who the provider says may use the service, what the exact app store labels its download, what the provider says its age checks do, and whether independent evidence establishes suitability. In this ledger, suitability is established for zero products.
Policy and US store evidence checked . No account, checkout, app installation, ID submission, age-gate bypass, or hands-on assurance test was performed.
Your 30-second path
Pick the question closest to yours. Then use the source ledger for the exact service; none of these paths turns an age label into a safety or suitability finding.
I’m an adult choosing for myself
Confirm the provider’s current minimum and any separate rule for adult features. Being old enough to sign up does not tell you whether the product fits your privacy or content preferences.
Look up the productI’m checking whether a teenager may use it
Look for location, guardian, account, and feature-specific conditions. This guide reports those rules but does not recommend any companion to a minor or establish youth suitability.
Compare the service-rule lanesI’m interpreting a label or age check
A store label describes an exact listing. A birthdate, selfie, ID, warning, or other provider-described check is a separate control—and is not proof that the control works universally.
Separate the four questionsNeed the evidence? The complete 17-product source ledger, conflicting clauses, unavailable records, current citations, and method limits continue below.
Four different questions
The provider’s Terms, privacy language, or policy says who may create an account or use the service. Geography and guardian consent can change the literal rule.
Apple and Google label an exact distribution listing. A Teen, Everyone, 12+, or 17+ label is not permission to ignore the service Terms.
A birthdate field, attestation, classifier, selfie, ID check, warning, suspension, or deletion statement describes a different control. Provider descriptions are not effectiveness tests.
Suitability depends on a particular young person and much more evidence. Eligibility, a store label, or a named control does not establish safety, privacy, moderation, or a good outcome.
At-a-glance service rules
Products are alphabetical inside each evidence lane. A lane is not a recommendation, quality score, safety result, or commission order.
The current first-party rule says 18 or older, sometimes with the higher local age of majority controlling.
Legal capacity controls general use, while adult-content access has its own age rule.
A younger service minimum exists, but open-ended companion chat has a separate under-18 boundary.
The provider describes supervised or family-plan access rather than one universal adult-only minimum.
Current clauses disagree, or previously captured conflicts cannot be reverified because the exact current legal pages are unavailable as substantive evidence.
Adult-only intent is clear, but the Terms use inconsistent inclusive-threshold wording.
17-product source ledger
Every product has the same four fields. “Unknown” is a deliberate result, and every evidence link below is a reference—not a signup or merchant destination.

Conflicting service rule
The previously captured Terms and privacy clauses conflicted across under-18, guardian-permission, over-16, and processing language.
All exact current legal URLs now return a 200-status soft-404 shell, so those historical clauses cannot be reverified as current publication evidence. Service eligibility and store rating remain separate.
A previously captured shared policy described an over-18 attestation gate for adult content and possible review of flagged content.
The exact current policy URL is a 200-status soft 404, so the historical statement cannot establish a current assurance method.
Not established for any particular child or teenager.
Eligibility, a store label, or a provider-described control is not a youth-suitability, safety, privacy, moderation, or effectiveness finding.
Conflicting service rule
The previously captured dedicated Terms and privacy clauses conflicted across under-18, guardian-supervision, over-16, guardian-consent, and processing language.
Both exact current dedicated legal URLs now return a 200-status soft-404 shell, so those historical clauses cannot be reverified as current publication evidence.
A previously captured shared Anima-family policy described an over-18 attestation gate for adult content.
The exact current shared-policy URL is a 200-status soft 404, so it cannot establish a current assurance method.

Five checks before signup
Check the exact service rule for the account holder’s location. A marketing page or store badge is not a substitute.
Character.AI demonstrates why general access and open-ended chat can have different age boundaries. Kupid separates general use and adult-content access.
Check the publisher, package or app ID, country storefront, and current label. Do not borrow a similarly named app’s rating.
Check Platform RealityDistinguish self-attestation, date of birth, signals, selfie, ID, guardian invitation, later review, and account enforcement. None proves universal effectiveness.
This guide does not recommend a companion to a minor. Review privacy, account controls, content boundaries, supervision needs, and qualified guidance separately.
