BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Three checks worth making
The amount charged today
An annual plan advertised per month can charge the full year upfront. Compare that total with a short initial commitment.
The features you will use
Check message limits, media credits and voice costs separately. An unused allowance is not a saving.
Your data and exit options
Find cancellation, account deletion and visibility controls before subscribing. These can be separate actions.
Questions before your first subscription
What is an AI girlfriend app?
A service for interacting with synthetic characters through chat and, in some cases, voice or generated media. These are AI simulations for entertainment, not real people or in-person dating.
Why are Candy and OurDream listed first?
They are our first and second commercial placements. Affiliate relationships influence inclusion and order. The positions do not represent measured performance or user ratings. See our selection policy.
Does a subscription include all features?
Do not assume that it does. A plan may include access and an allowance, while some actions consume credits or require another tier. Check the exact plan and feature costs before paying.
Have you tested every service?
This comparison is based on public provider information and our interpretation of it. We do not present it as a hands-on benchmark, a security audit or a complete review of every app on the market.
Are these services suitable for everyone?
No. AIGFS is for adults 18+. Linked services may contain adult content and have country restrictions. Read each provider’s terms and privacy policy before creating an account.
