ClickTug verdict
One of the largest companion apps here and the one that contradicts itself most plainly. Withfeeling.ai, Inc. publishes a substantial privacy policy listing ten categories of collected data including photos, video and voice, and a Google Play data safety filing declaring that no data is collected and none shared. Both are official and current. Its terms bar under-18s while Play rates it for parental guidance. Against that sit two genuinely specific commitments about advertising and face data. Read the policy, not the store card.
Should you use Paradot?
Good fit if
- States that conversation content is never used or disclosed for advertising
- States that face and head movement data is not shared with any third party
- A named US company, with terms and a privacy policy both dated April 2025
- Terms bar under-18s explicitly, with or without registering
- Self-serve account deletion, and web, iOS and Android
Scale and two commitments most competitors do not make. The policy states conversation content is never used or disclosed for marketing or advertising purposes, and separately that face and head movement data is not shared with any third party. Those are narrow, checkable sentences rather than a general assurance.
Look elsewhere if
- The Play data safety filing contradicts the privacy policy across ten data categories
- Play rates it Parental guidance while the terms require 18
- No price published by the vendor or shown on the store listing
- The word training never appears in the privacy policy
- Face and head movement data is referenced but never explained
Its Google Play data safety filing says no data is collected, which its own privacy policy contradicts across ten categories. Play rates it Parental guidance while its terms bar anyone under 18. No price is published. Whether conversations train models is not addressed at all.
What is Paradot?
Paradot is an AI companion from Withfeeling.ai, Inc., sold as an AI Being with memory and its own personality rather than as a partner. The vendor's own description offers support, companionship and solace. It runs on web, iOS and Android, has passed ten million downloads on Google Play, and lets you customise the companion's appearance.
Who it is for
People who want an ongoing non-romantic companion with memory, from a product with real scale behind it. It is one of the largest companion apps in this directory by download count, which makes what it publishes about itself worth reading closely.
Who it is not for
Anyone who wants a price before installing. Anyone who needs to know whether their conversations train a model, because the policy never uses the word. And anyone who would find two contradictory official filings about data collection disqualifying rather than merely worth knowing.

What Paradot claims, and what we found
Each row is a claim the vendor makes on a public page, beside what the same vendor's other pages say. Where two of their documents disagree we record both rather than choosing one. All checked 10 Sept 2026.

Pricing
Not published. No figure appears on paradot.ai and the Google Play listing declares in-app purchases without publishing a range. The app is free to download. Review sites quote a monthly and an annual figure and ClickTug does not repeat either, because neither could be read from the vendor or the store.
Yes in the sense that the app is free to download and everything is an in-app purchase, so you can begin without paying. What a non-paying account actually includes is not published anywhere readable, so the allowance is recorded as unverified rather than described.

Privacy, data and safety
Two official answers exist and they disagree. The privacy policy, dated 21 April 2025, lists account details, birth date, pronouns, work status, messages, photos, videos, voice, device data and usage data. The Google Play data safety section declares no data collected and none shared with third parties. Both are published by the same company about the same app. Retention is not given as a number, deletion is self-serve, and the word training never appears in the policy.

Where your words go
Hosted service
Everything you write reaches the vendor
What that means for you
No. It is a hosted service, so everything you write reaches the vendor's servers.
Content policy
Paradot documents its output filtering as moderate filtering, and its age policy as self-declared at signup.
Paradot does not offer clothing removal from photographs of real people. ClickTug does not list tools that do. Its stated position on the likeness of real people is that documented consent is required.
What the vendor prohibits
- Use by anyone under 18, with or without registering
- Soliciting personal information from anyone under the age of 18
- Impersonating a person or misrepresenting an affiliation
- Promoting criminal activity or providing instruction in illegal acts
Photos, video and voice can be submitted and the terms carry no clause about whose images those may be. The privacy policy separately references face and head movement data, which is not explained anywhere in the documentation.

Hands on
Paradot has ten million downloads and two official answers to the question of what it collects.
The privacy policy, dated 21 April 2025 and published by Withfeeling.ai, Inc., is detailed. It lists account information, profile information including your birth date, pronouns and work status, the messages you send, any photos, videos and voice messages you provide, device and network data, and usage data. It sets out legal bases in the GDPR style, contractual necessity and legitimate interests, table by table.
The Google Play data safety section for the same app, published by the same company, declares that no data is collected and that no data is shared with third parties.
Both of those are current, both are official, and they cannot both be true. This listing records the contradiction rather than picking whichever is more flattering, and the policy is the one with the detail in it, so the policy is the one to read.
Two sentences in that policy deserve credit before the rest of the criticism lands. Conversation content is never used or disclosed for marketing or advertising purposes: narrow, specific and easy to hold someone to. And face and head movement data is not shared with any third party. That second one is unusual enough to be worth noticing, and it raises a question the documentation never answers, because nothing anywhere explains what collects face and head movement data or why. A commitment about a category of data nobody has told you exists is a strange thing to read.
The age question repeats the pattern. Section 6.4 of the terms says that if you are under 18 you are not authorised to use the Services, with or without registering. Google Play rates the app Parental guidance. One of those describes a product for adults and the other describes a product a parent might supervise a child on.
None of this is conduct, which is why the listing exists at all. ClickTug refuses products on what they do and records what they publish, a rule it adopted on 10 September 2026 after turning away too many vendors for paperwork. Paradot’s paperwork is contradictory rather than absent, and a reader is better served seeing both filings side by side than seeing neither.

Paradot compared with the alternatives
Every cell is read from the same records as each tool's own listing, so nothing here can claim something its page denies. Rows needing an account to confirm are left out entirely rather than guessed at, and named in the verification log at the foot of the page.

Quick answers about Paradot
Generated from the same records as the tables above, so an answer here cannot contradict a figure there. Questions only appear when the answer says something specific to this product.
- Is Paradot free?
- There is a free tier. The app is free to download and everything is sold as in-app purchase, so use begins without payment. What a non-paying account includes is not published, so the allowance is unverified.
- How much does Paradot cost?
- No price is published. No figure appears on paradot.ai, and the Google Play listing declares in-app purchases without publishing a range. Review sites quote a monthly and an annual figure, which are not repeated here because neither could be read from the vendor or the store.
- Does Paradot require a credit card to start?
- No card is required to reach the free layer. One is needed for any paid plan.
- Does Paradot offer refunds?
- No refund terms are published. Store purchases follow Apple's and Google's own processes.
- Does Paradot have an app?
- Yes, on iOS and Android.
- Can Paradot run locally?
- No. It is a hosted service, so everything you write reaches the vendor's servers.
- Can I delete my Paradot account?
- Yes, through a control in the account rather than by asking support.
- Is Paradot actually uncensored?
- Not entirely. ClickTug records it as moderate filtering, and the prohibited list above says what it refuses.
- What company owns Paradot, and where?
- Withfeeling.ai, Inc., United States. Publishing an identifiable counterparty is worth noting: several tools in this directory name no company at all.
Paradot FAQ
How much does Paradot cost?
Not published. No figure appears on paradot.ai, and the Google Play listing declares in-app purchases without showing a range. The app is free to download. Review sites quote monthly and annual figures, which ClickTug does not repeat because neither could be read from the vendor or the store.
Does Paradot collect my data?
Its two official filings disagree. The privacy policy, dated 21 April 2025, lists account information, birth date, pronouns, work status, messages and content including photos, videos and voice, device and network data, and usage data. The Google Play data safety section for the same app declares no data collected and none shared with third parties. The policy is the document with detail in it, and it is the one to read.
Does Paradot train on my conversations?
Not addressed. The word training does not appear anywhere in the privacy policy, so ClickTug records it as not documented rather than reading the silence either way. The policy does commit that conversation content is never used or disclosed for marketing or advertising purposes, which is a different question.
What age do you have to be to use Paradot?
Terms section 6.4 says anyone under 18 is not authorised to use the Services, with or without registering, and the terms separately prohibit soliciting personal information from anyone under 18. Google Play rates the app Parental guidance. Those are two published answers from the same company that do not describe the same audience.
What is the face and head movement data Paradot mentions?
Unexplained. The privacy policy states that face and head movement data is not shared with any third party, which is a commitment worth having, but nothing in the documentation says what feature collects it or what it is used for. ClickTug records the sentence and the gap around it rather than guessing at an avatar or camera feature.
