Best AI girlfriend apps in 2026

An AI girlfriend app in 2026 is not one product. Some of these apps are public libraries. Some are unfiltered roleplay grids. Some are a single companion you keep for months. Treating them as a ranked list of the same thing is how a roundup becomes noise. This one groups them by what they actually do, then sends you to the full review.

Prices below are snapshots. Confirm the live checkout on each site before you pay.

The short version

Want a huge public library and a voice call? Character.AI. Want the same idea on a social feed? Chai or Talkie. Want the filter off? SpicyChat or CrushOn. Want one private companion with serious memory? Kindroid or Nomi. Want a 3D avatar in the room? Replika. Want chat plus photos, voice, and video without a catalog? Muah. Want a dating-style feed with shorts? Candy AI.

Public libraries

Character.AI is still the default character-chat app. You search millions of Characters, you talk, and you can place a Character Call. c.ai+ is about $9.99 a month or $94.99 a year: ads off, slow mode off, better memory, unlimited calls. The content filter is part of the product. If a page calls Character.AI the best unfiltered girlfriend app, skip that page.

Chai is the other giant library — Chai Research puts it at 25 million characters — laid out as a social feed. Free has ads. The website sells a year for $159.99 or a week for $9.99. Weekly Chai is an expensive way to avoid ads. Annual is the only plan that looks like a normal subscription.

Talkie is a mobile community on MiniMax. You chat with Talkies and earn collectible cards. It is moderated. Think Character.AI’s habit (talk to a persona) with a game loop, not CrushOn’s card catalog.

Unfiltered grids

SpicyChat, from NextDay AI, is the unfiltered grid with a public price list: Get a Taste at $5, True Supporter at $14.95, I’m All In at $24.95. Docs attach those rungs to 4K, 8K, and 16K of context, personas, Semantic Memory 2.0, conversation images, and voice on the top plan. If you want named tiers, start here.

CrushOn is the unfiltered character-card site. Replies cost credits (two messages per AI reply, per their wiki). Coins buy extras. Checkout has recently shown Standard around $6 and Premium around $15. It is the closer cousin to Character.AI’s library, with the filter off.

Muah.AI puts uncensored chat, photos, voice, and video in one thread. The homepage does not list plan prices. That is sloppy, and it is also the honest spec: you will know the invoice when you see checkout. Compare it with Candy if the media stack matters more than the card grid.

Private companions

Kindroid is the companion you write. Backstory, look, voice, then cascaded memory that grows on Ultra and MAX. Standard is $13.99 a month on the web. The full MAX stack is about $99 a month before extra credits. That is the memory product for people who will actually pay for a larger window.

Nomi also sells memory, but as one subscription: about $15.99 a month or $8.33 a month on the year, with group chat included and no Ultra add-on. If Kindroid’s ladder looks like a second job, Nomi is the cleaner invoice.

Replika is one Rep with a 3D avatar and AR. Pro, Ultra, and Platinum are named in Luka’s help center; the dollars appear in the store. It is the oldest companion brand in this set, and the only one that puts a body in the living room.

Candy AI is the dating-style feed: a catalog, chat, voice, stills, and Candy Shorts. Tokens sit on top of the sub. Soulkyn is the other private-universe option — Kyns, RPG rooms, unlimited stills on Deluxe, music in the character’s voice.

How to choose

Pick the verb, then open one review. A library (Character.AI, Chai, Talkie). An unfiltered grid (SpicyChat, CrushOn, Muah). A private companion (Kindroid, Nomi, Replika, Candy). Mixing those jobs is how people end up paying for three apps and liking none of them. Glance specs on each /tool/ page cover memory, price, and what the companion can actually send.
