1. heyGF.AI
- Best for a girlfriend who remembers you, talks on live calls and looks the same in every photo
- Price from $9.99 a month (150 coins); $19.99 and $39.99 plans; yearly from $99.99
- Free plan 5 messages a day with no account, 30 a day with a free account, no card
- Live voice calls yes, 1 coin a minute
- Photos and video yes, paid with coins (a photo from 3 coins)
- Adult chat yes, on paid plans
- Where in the browser on phone and desktop; no App Store or Google Play app
We built heyGF.AI around three things we kept hearing people wanted and rarely got together. The first is memory: she keeps a profile of who you are, your name, your job, what you like, and memories of things that happened between you, and can bring them up weeks later. The second is live voice calls: a real spoken conversation where you talk and she answers out loud, rather than a recorded voice note. During a call she still knows your history, and she can send a photo into the chat while you talk. The third is a consistent look. Each character keeps the same face and body across every photo and video, so the woman in today's picture is the woman from last week.
There are over 100 ready-made characters, each with her own nationality, job and personality, and a builder if you would rather design your own (look, personality, backstory and voice, 20 coins). Every paid plan includes unlimited messages. Photos, videos, voice notes and calls are paid with the plan's monthly coins: a photo starts at 3 coins, a video costs 15 to 120 depending on length and quality, and a call costs 1 coin a minute. The Casual plan's 150 coins would cover two and a half hours of calls if you spent them on nothing else.
Where it falls short: there is no native iPhone or Android app, so it runs in your browser (you can add it to your home screen). The free plan is text only and capped, with no free photos. Heavy photo and video use goes through coins faster than the plan includes, and you top up from $5.99. If long, detailed conversation matters more to you than photos or calls, Nomi and Kindroid below are built around exactly that and are worth comparing.
Pick heyGF.AI if you want the whole relationship in one place: she remembers you, you can call her, and her photos look like her. Look elsewhere if you need a native phone app or a generous free plan.
2. Candy AI
- Best for adult images and video
- Price $13.99 a month after a $9.99 first month; longer plans shown at large discounts
- Free plan 5 messages in total, one custom character, one image
- Live voice calls in beta, paid with tokens
- Adult chat yes, with 18+ images and video
- Where in the browser, installable on your home screen; no native app
Candy AI is the app most "best of" lists put first, and its strength is visual. The paid plan sells 18+ image and video generation alongside unlimited text chat and 100 tokens a month. Tokens pay for pictures, videos, listening to voice messages and voice calls, which Candy AI still labels beta. There are extras built on video too: Live Action, a premium token-gated video experience, and Build Your Video, which assembles a clip from preset choices.
Two things to know before paying. The free trial is short: five messages in total across all characters. And according to its terms, unused tokens expire when a subscription ends. Refunds are possible within 24 hours of a payment if you have used 20 tokens or fewer. On the plus side, it takes more ways to pay than most, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, crypto and bank transfer.
Pick Candy AI if pictures and video are what you want most. Look elsewhere if you want to try properly before paying, or if voice calls matter to you while they are still in beta.
3. Kindroid
- Best for shaping her personality, backstory and memories yourself
- Price $15.99 a month on the US App Store; Kindroid says the web is usually cheaper
- Free plan a one-time preview for new accounts: 50 messages, 5 selfies
- Live voice calls yes, plus live video calls, for subscribers
- Adult chat yes, explicitly allowed
- Where iPhone, Android and web, one account
Kindroid is built for people who want to author their companion. Each one keeps the backstory and key memories you give it, and subscribers get "cascaded memory" that can reach back hundreds or thousands of messages. Subscribers can call by voice or on live video, where the character lip-syncs and reacts in real time, and get selfies and video selfies. Its moderation guidelines list NSFW and erotic roleplay under "What is Explicitly Allowed", with zero tolerance for anything involving minors. Accounts its systems flag must verify their age.
The catch is the free plan. Since October 2026 it is a one-time preview rather than an ongoing free tier, and the bigger features need a subscription, with Ultra and MAX add-ons on top for heavy users.
Pick Kindroid if you want deep control over who she is and a native phone app. Look elsewhere if you want to keep using it free.
4. Nomi
- Best for conversation-first companionship
- Price $15.99 a month Standard on the US App Store, $99.99 a year; a cheaper Launch Plan is also listed
- Free plan free to start with no card; free limits are not published
- Live voice calls yes, hands-free calls on paid plans
- Adult chat yes, by its own "unfiltered and uncensored" positioning
- Where iPhone, Android and web
Nomi describes itself as "an AI Companion with Memory and a Soul", and memory is the centre of its pitch, with short, medium and long-term memory. You can send and receive voice messages or "hop on a hands-free call", and a Nomi can send selfies of what she is wearing and doing, with videos available for credits. Nomi says it is built on freedom of expression and stays "unfiltered and uncensored", and its App Store listing is rated 18+.
It is less clear on what a free account gets: Nomi says it is free to start, but it does not publish the free daily limits, and its website does not list prices, so the App Store is the place to check them.
Pick Nomi if long, personal conversation is the point and you want a phone app. Look elsewhere if you want clear free limits or a photo-heavy experience.
5. Secrets AI
- Best for real-time calls plus image and video generation
- Price $19.99 a month Premium ($109.99 a year); $39.99 Ultimate
- Free plan 20 messages a day; images need a paid plan
- Live voice calls yes, real-time, 50 Moments a minute
- Adult chat yes
- Where in the browser only, installable
Secrets AI is the closest app to heyGF.AI in shape: browser-based, adult, with real-time voice calls and image and video generation. Its currency is Moments: Premium includes 8,000 a month, an image costs 50 and a call 50 a minute. Spent only on calls, that is about 160 minutes a month on the $19.99 plan, roughly what heyGF.AI's 150 coins buy on its $9.99 plan. Its free plan is one of the more usable ones at 20 messages a day, though it includes no images.
Pick Secrets AI if you want calls and video generation and the $19.99 entry price suits you. Look elsewhere if you want the same call time for less.
6. OurDream
- Best for making your own adult images and videos
- Price $19.99 a month, or $9.99 a month billed $119.88 a year
- Free plan thin: each message costs a dreamcoin and no free dreamcoins are given
- Live voice calls billed at 50 dreamcoins a minute
- Adult chat yes
- Where in the browser only
OurDream calls itself a "no limits" roleplay platform, and generation is its focus: images and videos of your companion, with videos up to 60 seconds. The one paid plan includes unlimited messages and 1,000 dreamcoins a month. An image in chat costs 5 dreamcoins, video 100 per 5 seconds, and voice calls 50 a minute, so the monthly coins cover about 20 minutes of calls. Image and video generation need a subscription, and OurDream does not hand out free dreamcoins. Some countries, including the UK and Australia, require an age check.
Pick OurDream if creating long adult videos is the main event. Look elsewhere if you want to try it free or talk to her for long.
7. SpicyChat
- Best for cheap, text-first adult roleplay with many characters
- Price $5.95, $19.95 or $29.95 a month (raised in September 2026)
- Free plan core features free; limits not published
- Live voice calls no; the top tier can read messages aloud
- Adult chat yes; age verification in some countries and 26 US states
- Where web and an Android download; no iPhone app
SpicyChat is a roleplay platform where users create and share characters, and adult chatbots are allowed when marked NSFW. The free plan keeps the core features, and paid tiers add memory, from a 4K context up to 32K on the top tier, with "Semantic Memory" summaries from the middle tier, plus pictures generated from the conversation. There are no live calls; the top tier reads messages aloud. Apple removed its iPhone app in 2025, so it runs on the web and as an Android download from its own site.
Pick SpicyChat if you want the cheapest way into adult roleplay. Look elsewhere if you want voice calls or one consistent girlfriend with photos.
8. Replika
- Best for a supportive, friend-first companion
- Price the US App Store lists monthly options at $7.99 and $14.99; tiers are Pro, Ultra and Platinum
- Free plan text chat is free; there is no free trial of paid features
- Live voice calls yes, with a subscription
- Adult chat a romantic relationship needs Pro; explicit content is not clearly allowed
- Where iPhone and Android
Replika was one of the first AI companions and still leans towards friendship and everyday support, with guided conversations and coping skills alongside chat. Text chat is free. A subscription unlocks voice calls, roleplay and relationship options beyond friend: "Romantic partner" starts with Replika Pro. Its terms bar pornographic content in what you upload, and its documents do not clearly say explicit roleplay is allowed, so treat it as a romance app with limits rather than an adult one.
Pick Replika if you want a warm companion for everyday life. Look elsewhere if adult chat or photos on demand matter to you.
9. Character.AI
- Best for free chat and calls with no adult content
- Price free; lite $4.99 a month; c.ai+ $9.99 on the US App Store
- Free plan unlimited messages with ads
- Live voice calls yes, free for all users
- Adult chat no
- Where iPhone, Android and web
Character.AI gives away more than anyone: unlimited messaging with ads, and free two-way Character Calls, now on the web too. It is not an adult app. Its help center says "Pornographic content is against our terms of service", and every user goes through an age check. If you want a romantic AI girlfriend with adult conversation, it is the wrong tool.
One more thing to weigh: on 12 October 2026 Character.AI started a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process to sell the company, with an auction set for 1 December 2026. It says the platform is running normally and subscriptions remain active, but also that it "will be wound down" if no buyer comes through.
Pick Character.AI if you want free chat and calls and no adult content. Look elsewhere if you want an adult relationship, photos, or certainty it will be here next year.
How to choose
Three questions settle it for most people. Do you want to talk to her or only type? Then check for live calls, not just voice notes. Do you want adult conversation? Then check each app's 18+ policy before paying, because a filter will not loosen for one subscriber. And how much will you really spend? Photos, voice and video run on credits in almost every app, so the real monthly cost is rarely the headline price. Our full guide to choosing walks through each step.
