What is Promptchan?
Promptchan is not a dating app that bolted on a generator. It is a generator that bolted on a girlfriend. You prompt a still or a clip, you clone a look from the community library, then you can chat with a character that matches the face. Candy starts with a catalog card. Nomi starts with a memory thread. Promptchan starts with a prompt box.
Site: promptchan.com. Free tier with Gems. Paid plans in 2026 snapshots start around $9.99/month.
Signature: Gems, clone, community library
Gems are the meter. Stills are cheap; video is the expensive button. Free is watermarked and tight. Paid is private mode, faster queues, unwatermarked stills. The other Promptchan habit is clone and vary from a claimed 20-million+ library. People searching AI girlfriend with pictures want a look they can iterate, not a diary.
What you actually get
- Image gen — anime, cinematic, realistic. Private mode advertised.
- Video gen — clips to match a character. Gem-heavy.
- Companion chat — no-filter girlfriend threads with custom appearance.
- Community — browse, clone, vary.
Who it is for
Users who think in stills. Memory-first: Nomi. Catalog date: Candy. Live window: JOI or FLIRTcam. Promptchan is the studio.
Where it loses
Chat is the add-on. Gem math on video can outrun a $10 sub in an evening. Watermarks on free stills undersell the paid product.
Pricing, in practice
Treat Promptchan like a studio membership, not like Netflix. The $9.99 rung is the door. Gems are the film stock. If you only chat, you will under-use it and wonder why the girlfriend next door (Nomi, Candy) feels more finished. If you generate fifty stills and a handful of clips, you will hit the Gem wall and the $9.99 will look like a headline, not a bill. Confirm the live Gem table — vendors in this lane change pack sizes without a press release.
Private mode is the adult-product control they actually advertise. Use it if you do not want a still in a public swarm. Clone/vary is the habit that keeps people: you do not rewrite a face from zero every night.
Promptchan vs Candy vs Soulkyn
Candy starts with a named girl and lets you request a still of her. Promptchan starts with a still and lets you talk to whatever you just made. Soulkyn Deluxe unlimited-images is the other factory, but it lives inside a Kyn and an RPG room. Pick the verb: date (Candy), render (Promptchan), world (Soulkyn), remember (Nomi).
