Apps that meet this requirement, listed by our overall score. An BEST that qualifies is shown first and labelled.

  1. Kindroid

    AI companion · Power users who want full control and video calls

    7.6/10

    The most customizable companion app, with deep memory tools, live video calls and a clear adult-content policy. The free plan ended in October 2026, and add-ons and per-minute credits get expensive.

    What's good

    • The deepest customization of any companion app
    • Layered long-term memory plus journals and learned context
    • Live video calls, custom voices and video selfies

    What's not

    • No free plan since October 1, 2026: new accounts get a short preview, then go read-only
    • Ultra and MAX add-ons and per-minute call credits push costs toward $100 a month
    • Prices are no longer published outside checkout
  2. Nomi

    AI companion · Long-term memory and natural conversation

    7.5/10

    A companion app built around memory, with group chats, consistent selfies, short videos and adult text roleplay. The yearly plan is good value, but app-store availability has been shaky in 2026.

    What's good

    • Excellent memory, with Mind Maps you can review and edit
    • Natural, emotionally consistent conversation over weeks and months
    • A usable free plan with about 50 messages a day and no ads

    What's not

    • No app in EU app stores since January 2026, so EU users must use the web app
    • Removed from Google Play twice in September and October 2026
    • No refunds, and some users report slow answers to refund and deletion requests
  3. Secrets AI

    AI girlfriend app · Story-driven roleplay with group scenes and branching

    6.5/10

    A roleplay-focused girlfriend app with strong user reviews for chat quality, group chats and a rewind-and-branch feature. Its official prices and privacy policy could not be verified.

    What's good

    • Strong user praise for chat quality
    • Group chats and Travel Back to rewind and branch stories
    • Persistent memory with shared memory groups

    What's not

    • Official prices and policies could not be verified
    • Frequent complaints about image accuracy
    • Monthly Moments don't roll over, and calls cost extra
  4. CrushOn.AI

    Character roleplay · Explicit roleplay on frontier models, if you manage credits

    6.2/10

    An adult character-chat platform with access to top third-party models, voice cloning and group chats. Entry is cheap, but credits drain quickly and Mozilla rated its privacy very poorly.

    What's good

    • Access to frontier third-party models for roleplay
    • The cheapest paid entry here at $5.99 a month
    • Deep persona and character tools, plus voice cloning

    What's not

    • A confusing credit system, and premium models drain credits quickly
    • Models have been withdrawn after users had prepaid
    • Free chat history is deleted after 7 days of inactivity
  5. Nectar AI

    AI girlfriend app · Tinkerers who want model choice, memory controls and video

    6.9/10

    A highly configurable web app with seven chat models, editable memory, group scenes, video with sound and voice calls. Entry plans are cheap, but the best features sit on the top tier and run on credits.

    What's good

    • Seven chat models, personas, scenarios and group chats
    • Editable memory with your own entries and starred memories
    • Video clips of up to 30 seconds with sound, plus voice and video calls

    What's not

    • Premium models, calls and video draw on a separate credit balance
  6. SpicyChat AI

    Character roleplay · Adult roleplay with rich tools and flat pricing

    6.8/10

    An adult roleplay platform with a usable free tier, group chats with up to 10 bots, lorebooks and flat-rate plans without credits. Prices rose in September 2026, and its privacy policy is an old template.

    What's good

    • A usable free tier with several models
    • Flat subscriptions with no credit system
    • Group chats with up to 10 bots, lorebooks, Director Mode and rulebooks

    What's not

    • Prices rose in September 2026, by a third on True Supporter
    • The best features need the $29.95 plan
    • The free context is very small, about 20 messages
  7. Character.AI

    Character roleplay · Free, safe-for-work roleplay with millions of characters

    6.2/10

    The biggest character chat platform, with unlimited free messages and cheap plans. It blocks adult content, checks ages strictly, and filed for bankruptcy in October 2026, so its future is uncertain.

    What's good

    • Unlimited free messaging and a huge library of characters
    • The cheapest paid plans here: $4.99 a month for lite, $9.99 for c.ai+
    • Group chats, voice calls and many creative formats

    What's not

    • Sexual content is banned, and filters interrupt romantic roleplay
    • The free plan has ads and slow mode at busy times
  8. Janitor AI

    Character roleplay · Free, unlimited roleplay and bringing your own AI model

    6.1/10

    A huge free roleplay platform where you can chat without limits on its own model or plug in your own API key. It has no voice or image features, and the free model's memory is short.

    What's good

    • Truly free, unlimited chat
    • Bring your own model through OpenRouter, DeepSeek or other providers
    • A huge library of user-made bots, with scripts and custom profiles

    What's not

    • No voice, image or video features
    • The free model has a small context and uneven quality
    • Setting up your own API key is technical and easy to get wrong
  9. Candy AI

    AI girlfriend app · Realistic photos and a detailed character builder

    6.7/10

    The best-known AI girlfriend app, with a detailed character builder, realistic images, voice and short videos. The yearly plan is cheap, but the free tier is tiny and media costs tokens.

    What's good

    • A detailed builder for appearance, personality and voice
    • High-quality, realistic images, plus voice notes and short videos
    • Unlimited text chat on every paid plan

    What's not

    • The free tier is only 5 messages in total
    • Images, voice, calls and video all cost tokens, and only 100 come with the plan each month
    • Memory is tied to each chat and resets when you reset the chat
  10. Soulkyn

    Character roleplay · Character builders who want images, video, voice and group scenes

    6.4/10

    Soulkyn is an Irish-run adult roleplay platform that works only in the browser. It has a deep character creator, images, short videos, voice calls and group scenes. Third-party reviews list plans from €24.99 to €99.99 a month, and free access is now a short trial.

    What's good

    • A deep character builder with import, AI-assisted, gacha and image-based creation
    • Images in several styles, 5 to 10 second videos, voice messages and real-time voice calls
    • Group scenes with a lead character and up to seven others on Deluxe

    What's not

    • Browser only, with no App Store or Google Play app
    • Free access is a short trial with limited messages
    • A high entry price of €24.99 a month, and extra images or video cost Souls credits
  11. Erogen

    Character roleplay · Cheap unlimited text roleplay with community-made characters

    6.4/10

    A browser-only roleplay site from a small US company, with a usable free tier, unlimited chat for $15 a month and a credit-based Studio for images, voice and short video. Context and memory stay short even on the top plan, and the privacy terms leave key questions open.

    What's good

    • Up to 600 free messages a day, released as 75 every 3 hours
    • Unlimited messages, premium models and 1,000 credits a month for $15
    • A detailed character creator with scenarios, example messages and AI voices

    What's not

    • Short context (16K even on Platinum), and reviews report memory slips and repetition
    • Images, calls and video all cost credits, and top-up prices are not listed
    • Web only, with no iOS or Android app
  12. OurDream AI

    AI girlfriend app · Video, images and voice calls with your character

    6.3/10

    A media-heavy girlfriend app with images, image editing, videos of up to 60 seconds and voice calls. Standard chat is unlimited on Premium, but coins run out fast and the company behind it is unclear.

    What's good

    • The broadest media set: images, image editing, videos of up to 60 seconds and voice calls
    • Unlimited chat with the standard models on Premium
    • A published coin cost for each action

    What's not

    • Coins run out fast: one minute of video costs more than the monthly allowance
    • The free tier was cut to 5 messages per character, with no images
    • Media features lock when you cancel, and help pages disagree on whether coins expire
  13. JuicyChat AI

    Character roleplay · Roleplay fans who want a big bot library, model choice and video

    6.2/10

    A web-only roleplay platform with a large library of user-made bots, a detailed bot creator, three tiers of chat models, images, voice playback and video clips. Premium starts at $12.99 a month, but most features run on JuicyCoins, the enhanced video generator needs Deluxe or Diamond, and refunds are close to impossible.

    What's good

    • A large library of user-made bots and a creator with 10,000-character personalities
    • Three model tiers, with up to 64K context on Pro models and 1M on Max
    • Persona Cards, Scene Cards, storyline branches and message pins

    What's not

    • Chats, images and voices run on JuicyCoins, and membership coins do not roll over
    • Refunds only within 24 hours of payment, and only if nothing has been used
    • Free standard messages and enhanced NSFW video need Deluxe ($43.99) or Diamond ($88.99)
  14. Talkie

    Character roleplay · A vast free catalog of safe-for-work characters

    6.1/10

    One of the largest character-chat communities, with a generous free tier, creator tools, voices and collectible cards. It is safe-for-work and open to teens, memory is weak, and ads and gem spending are heavy.

    What's good

    • A huge, active catalog of user-made characters
    • A generous free tier
    • Cheap upgrades at $49.99 a year

    What's not

    • Frequent ads, some of which can't be closed
  15. Paradot

    AI companion · A single, memory-focused companion on Android

    6.1/10

    A companion app built around long-term memory and a detailed persona, now on Android and the web only after its iOS app disappeared. Prices aren't published, and recent reviews report glitchy images and voice clips.

    What's good

    • Built around long-term memory
    • Deep persona setup: traits, flaws, values and relationship status
    • Mostly safe-for-work by policy

    What's not

    • No published prices, plus token add-ons

    AI companion · A supportive companion with an avatar, calls and AR

    6.0/10

    The original AI companion, with a 3D avatar, voice and video calls, and AR and VR modes. Text chat is free, but the paid tiers are confusing and a 2026 rebuild brought complaints about memory.

    What's good

    • The most polished 3D avatar, with AR and Meta Quest VR modes
    • Voice and video calls, and your Replika can see through the camera on video calls
    • Text chat stays free, with no documented daily message cap

    What's not

    • Pricing is hard to follow: several tiers, prices shown only in the app, and no refunds
    • Romantic status needs a paid plan, and explicit roleplay is not supported
    • Users report memory loss and personality changes after the 2026 rebuild
  17. Joi AI

    AI girlfriend app · The biggest catalog, including licensed AI twins of adult creators

    5.9/10

    The most-visited app in this group, with a huge character catalog that includes licensed AI versions of real adult creators, plus images, video and calls. It verifies ages through a third party, but charges per message and per view on top of the subscription.

    What's good

    • A huge catalog, including licensed AI twins of real adult creators

  18. AI Peeps

    AI girlfriend app · Roleplayers who want deep character creation, imports and video

    6.8/10

    A web-only companion and roleplay platform from a solo Italian developer, with a detailed character creator, card imports, group chats, live voice chat and image-to-video. Plans start at $8.99 a month, but media runs on coins, the chat models are unnamed and moderation of user-made characters is weak.

    What's good

    • A detailed character creator with cloning, merging and scene tools
    • Free imports of Tavern cards and Character.AI characters and chats
    • Group chats of up to 3 Peeps, live voice chat and image-to-video up to 1080p

    What's not

    • Weak moderation: public characters based on child anime characters are set up for sexual roleplay
    • Images, video and messages beyond the allowance all use up PeepCoins
    • The chat models are not named, and you cannot choose one
  19. Lovescape

    AI girlfriend app · A huge character library and image tools on a cheap yearly plan

    6.4/10

    A big community library of characters with image, video and voice tools, run by a registered company in Cyprus. The yearly Premium plan is cheap and includes media credits, but advanced memory costs much more.
