9 best AI girlfriend apps in 2026, free and paid, compared
Published on 2026-10-02 by Bailey Vidova
Chat is cheap on all of these apps. Pictures, voice and video cost coins, tokens, gems, Moments or chips on top, and how many of those each plan includes is what I compared. On 2 October 2026 I went through the pricing page, help center and terms of 12 AI girlfriend apps. 9 made the list.
Top picks
- For most people, OurDream AI. Unlimited messages plus 1,000 coins a month for pictures, video and voice calls.
- To start free, Secrets AI: 20 messages a day, and the best memory tools on the list (lorebooks need the $39.99 Ultimate plan, though).
- Lovescape for pictures and video, because your character keeps the same face.
- Cheapest per month: Swipey AI, $7.99.
- Cheapest per year: Candy AI at $3.99 a month.

How I ranked them
Five things, in this order: what the subscription really includes, whether the free plan is enough to judge the app, which features exist (in-chat pictures, video, voice messages, calls, memory, a character creator), whether a named company stands behind it with discreet billing and a way to delete your data, and the real price once you use media. The score on each card is my overall mark out of 5 on those five points.
3 apps didn't make it. Get-Harder gives 2 free messages, and its landing page and app quote different prices. Also, get-harder.com turned out to be an erectile dysfunction site; the app lives at get-harder.today. GirlfriendGPT shows prices only after you log in, and the reviews that list them disagree with each other. Xotic gives 5 free messages a day, and I couldn't find its subscription price in dollars.
Prices move. Most of these apps run some "70% off" offer, so check the checkout page before paying.
Where the real price is
Candy AI's yearly plan is $3.99 a month and includes 100 tokens. OurDream's is $9.99 a month and includes 1,000 coins, which OurDream says is about 200 pictures. For chat only, Candy's $3.99 is enough. A picture a day on OurDream uses about 150 of the 1,000 monthly coins. Candy doesn't publish its token prices, so I can't do the same sum there.
Questions people ask
Is there a free AI girlfriend app?
8 of the 9 give some free messages, from 5 in total on Candy AI to 20 a day on Secrets AI. OurDream's free account charges 1 dreamcoin per message and gives no regular free coins. Pictures, voice and video need a paid plan almost everywhere.
Can I use one without signing up?
No app on the list lets you chat fully without an account. A few get close, with no card or just an email link. Details in AI girlfriend with no sign up.
Are AI girlfriend apps safe?
All 9 name the company behind them; OurDream's is Dream Studio USA, DarLink's is FameLink SA in Switzerland. I found account deletion in the settings of Secrets AI, Swipey, Candy AI, OurDream and Dream Companion. Read the refund rule before you pay: OurDream refunds nothing after 25% use, Candy AI nothing after 20 tokens or 24 hours.
Do they have AI boyfriends too?
7 of them do: OurDream, Secrets AI, Lovescape, Candy AI, Dream Companion, PromptChan and Dondi. Swipey is girlfriend-only, and I couldn't confirm male characters on DarLink. There's a separate list of AI boyfriend apps.
Is any of them in the App Store?
None has an official App Store or Google Play app. They run in the browser, and most can be added to your home screen. Store apps with similar names usually belong to someone else.
