By M.J.R., operator of freeaigirlfriend.ai · Updated
This is our honest look at a few well-known AI girlfriend and companion services next to our own. We don't rank anyone first, including us. Every fact about another service comes from that service's own public website, checked on October 14, 2026. Prices and features change often, so check their sites before you decide.

How to choose
- You want images, video or voice: pick a service that offers them. Candy AI and ourdream.ai advertise image generation, ourdream.ai also video, and Nomi and Replika voice or calls. We don't offer any of these.
- You want to build your own character: ourdream.ai advertises full customization of appearance, personality and voice, and Replika lets you customize your avatar. Our characters are fixed.
- You want a phone app: Replika has iOS and Android apps. We are browser-only.
- You want the lowest monthly price and don't mind paying for a year: the yearly plans on Candy AI and ourdream.ai advertise lower monthly equivalents than our planned prices.
- You want to try without signing up or giving a card, and keep coming back for free: that is what we are built for: 20 free messages a day, no account. See what our free tier includes.
Questions worth asking any AI girlfriend site
- Is the free option a daily allowance or a one-time trial?
- Do I need an email or card before the first message?
- Is the subscription monthly, or is the advertised price only for an annual upfront payment?
- How do I cancel, and what will appear on my card statement?
- Are the characters clearly labeled as AI, and are they all adults?
- What content is blocked, and are messages checked automatically?
- Can I delete my chats?
Our own answers are on pricing, is it safe? and the FAQ. For a longer checklist, see our guide to choosing an AI girlfriend.
