| Service | Documented plan | Free access | Buying distinction | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candy.ai | $13.99/mo documented reference | Provider terms state free users may generally send up to five messages; this is not an ongoing unlimited free plan. | Candy AI’s terms describe generally five free messages, paid unlimited messaging and generally 100 monthly tokens for extra features, with exact checkout allowances controlling. | Read verdict → |
| CrushOn.AI | $5.99/mo documented reference | Provider blog: unlimited chats on Free Models plus 100 monthly credits for Pro Models; these are different types of access. | CrushOn documentation distinguishes unlimited messages on selected Free Models from 100 monthly credits for Pro Models; context and retention differ by plan. | Read verdict → |
| DreamGF | $25.99/mo renewal equivalent (3-mo) | Ongoing free-access allowance has not been substantiated. | No complete current checkout and usage schedule is documented in our source records. Treat this as an editorial candidate, not a price-ranked winner. | Read verdict → |
| Joi AI | Premium: price shown at checkout | Official Joi AI terms describe a limited Basic account and a recurring Premium subscription. They do not specify a universally applicable free-message allowance. | The official terms confirm recurring Premium payments and possible separately paid features, but the public terms do not establish an exact universal subscription price. | Read verdict → |
| Kindroid | Monthly plan: regional checkout | Official subscriptions documentation: a one-time preview of 50 messages (15 in some regions), plus five selfies and 5,000 audio credits. After the preview, the account becomes read-only unless subscribed. The three-day trial requires payment details and auto-converts unless cancelled. | A 50-message (sometimes 15-message) new-account preview is not a permanent free plan. A three-day payment-method trial can auto-renew; Ultra and MAX add-ons increase cost beyond Standard. | Read verdict → |

| Lovescape | $5.99/mo equivalent (annual) | Ongoing free-access allowance has not been substantiated. | No complete current checkout and usage schedule is documented in our source records. Treat this as an editorial candidate, not a price-ranked winner. | Read verdict → |

| Nomi | $15.99 US iOS Standard Plan | The provider-maintained Nomipedia documents an indefinite free plan with 50 messages per day. Subscription price varies by chosen plan and purchase channel and was not confirmed in publicly accessible first-party materials. | Nomi documents a recurring free allowance of 50 messages/day. Its US iOS Store lists Standard Plan at $15.99 (interval not explicit), $39.99 quarterly and $99.99 yearly; additional Nomi Credits are optional paid purchases. | Read verdict → |
| ourdream.ai | $19.99/mo documented reference | Provider documentation states free-user chats cost 1 Dreamcoin each; do not assume a continuing no-cost allowance. | At monthly Standard billing, 20 standard images + four 5-second videos + five voice minutes cost 750 Dreamcoins; 250 of the 1,000 monthly grant remain. 100 standard images + ten videos + five call minutes cost 1,750 Dreamcoins, a 750-coin shortfall before extra purchases. | Read verdict → |
| Replika | US iOS: $7.99 / $14.99 monthly | The official subscription guide describes a limited Free Use program; availability can be restricted at the provider’s discretion. | US App Store displays several distinct monthly and annual Replika in-app purchases, including $7.99 and $14.99 monthly products. The public listing does not identify which subscription tier each amount buys. | Read verdict → |
| Secrets AI | $9.17/mo equivalent (annual) | Ongoing free-access allowance has not been substantiated. | Video generation is metered in Moments. The provider changelog gave a starting example of 140 Moments per 480p five-second video, but real usage depends on selected settings; a dollar-cost estimate requires current plan and top-up prices. | Read verdict → |
Candy.ai
A media-led adult AI companion candidate for people who prioritize polished character and chat presentation.
Watch out: Exact media token allowances and renewal costs are not independently documented here.
CrushOn.AI
A roleplay-led alternative for people whose primary purchase decision is the chat experience.
Watch out: Model access, message allowances and current restrictions need confirmation.
DreamGF
Consider when character imagery matters more than a proven long-term memory system.
Watch out: Promotions, renewal billing and exact image allowances must be checked at checkout.
Joi AI
A roleplay and adult-media candidate whose appeal depends on the current experience shown in the product.
Watch out: We do not yet have an auditable current usage-price schedule.
Kindroid
Best starting point for buyers who want explicit memory controls and detailed character backstories.
Watch out: The newer free preview is finite; a paid trial requires a payment method, and tiers affect memory capacity.
Kupid AI
A character-chat service to shortlist only after checking contemporary allowances and free access.
Watch out: Specific price, credits and retention behavior have not been documented here.
Lovescape
An adult visual-character alternative worth evaluating alongside the larger multimedia services.
Watch out: The exact feature allowance, pricing and quality are not independently benchmarked here.
Nectar AI
A multimedia creation candidate, particularly if the visual character-building process is the priority.
Watch out: Generation limits and access by plan are insufficiently documented in our sources.
Nomi
An appealing first stop for a conversation-first relationship with continuity and shared notes.
Watch out: A provider guide describes a free plan but paid prices and limitations should be checked in the app.
ourdream.ai
The clearest documented choice in this set for calculating media credits before buying.
Watch out: Videos and calls can consume coins rapidly; annual $9.99/month equivalent requires $119.88 upfront.
Replika
Consider for a mainstream companion experience with a documented free program and tiered paid capabilities.
Watch out: Some memory controls and advanced features belong to higher tiers; checkout displays pricing.
Secrets AI
An adult character service whose buying decision comes down to the offer details at checkout.
Watch out: We cannot currently confirm renewal rates or media generation allowances.
