Top AI companion apps compared

About Top AI companion apps compared

Every app in this ranking is aimed at adults, and the comparison stays on the practical side: what a month costs, what you can use before a card is entered, and what each company says it does with your chats. 8 AI companion apps are covered, with AI Girl and empa opening the table on partner slots and the scored brands running from Lovli to Wysa beneath them. The main trade-off is narrow pricing against thin free allowances, since the lowest monthly price here also comes with a welcome credit bundle, while the broader free plans carry their own caps. Voice is close to standard, with 100% of the brands in this category supporting it, so price, retention wording and support reach do most of the separating. Content rules and age checks differ across the list, and each entry says where it draws that line.

How we picked

Score weights are fixed before the brands are read. Cost carries 40% of the score, the free offer carries 35%, and trust signals carry 25%, which is where privacy wording, content rules and support reach are weighed. The sources are each brand's own pricing page, terms of service, privacy policy and app store listing, with store rating pages used where a rating is published. Only what a brand states is scored, and a fact a brand does not publish is left out rather than treated as a fault. Partner listings are placed ahead of the scored field by rule, so AI Girl and empa take 2 of the 8 places. Prices are read against the wider set of 180 brands the site tracks, where the median monthly price is €13.15, the lower quartile €8.77 and the upper quartile €21.70, and the range recorded for this group is €8.76 to €51.74.

Our top picks

1. 2. Lovli: best for Lowest monthly price

   Lovli sits in this ranking with the lowest monthly price label, and the figures behind it are $9.99 monthly and $4.17 yearly, with 2,000 credits included on $9.99 monthly plan describing what a paid plan includes. 100 welcome credits, no card required lets a new account try the service before a card is entered, and female, male and anime covers female, male and anime styles. Voice, image generation and video generation are all part of the package, web is where it runs, and Akheilos Ltd (Company No. 17381191) is the company named in its terms, based in GB. Weigh Deletion on request; chats processed by AI/voice vendors on vendor handling and support that runs on email only. Intuition Robotics, the brand below, reverses both, with email, phone and help centre and $59.

   • Monthly price: $9.99
   • What is free: 100 welcome credits, no card required
   • Adult content policy: Adults 18+; content depicting minors banned

   Pros

   • Voice, image generation and video generation are all included, a combination rarer than not in this family
   • Signup needs no card, since 100 welcome credits, no card required covers a first taste of the chat
   • Yearly billing lands at $4.17, well under the $9.99 monthly rate
   • Chats run on free and premium models, so free and premium covers both ends of the tier range
   • A female, male or anime companion is available, since female, male and anime lists all three

   Cons

   • Support runs on email alone, and a phone number is not among the listed channels
   • The 2,000 credits included on $9.99 monthly plan means heavy image and video use draws down a balance that tops up
   • Chats are handled by AI and voice vendors under Deletion on request; chats processed by AI/voice vendors, so prompts leave the site
   • A mobile app listing is not among its platforms, since web lists web only

2. 3. Intuition Robotics

   Intuition Robotics earns its place in this ranking on breadth rather than price. Remembers details from every conversation says it keeps details across conversations, and Free browser voice trial, no hardware needed offers a browser voice trial, the gentlest way to hear it before paying. Support reaches further than most here, at email, phone and help centre, and Kept while subscribed, 6 years after; delete on request sets out retention and deletion on request. The trade-off is cost: premium is a premium model only, at $59 monthly or $49 yearly, ios is the only place to run it, and female offers a female style only. App Store (US) 3.7/5 from 9 ratings records what store ratings say so far. Couple.me below is cheaper to enter.

   • Monthly price: $59
   • What is free: Free browser voice trial, no hardware needed
   • Adult content policy: Indecent or pornographic content prohibited

   Pros

   • Free browser voice trial, no hardware needed, so the voice can be judged before any spend.
   • The companion Remembers details from every conversation, which is the clearest reason to subscribe.
   • Support covers email, phone and help centre, so a person is reachable.
   • Privacy terms are stated plainly on retention and deletion: Kept while subscribed, 6 years after; delete on request.

   Cons

   • Membership is $59 a month, well above the €13.15 median across the site.
   • Android is not among its platforms (ios), so an iPhone is needed.
   • Its adult content policy reads Indecent or pornographic content prohibited, which caps the range of conversation.
   • Phone support, though it sits in email, phone and help centre, is listed by 33.3% of the companion apps here.

3. AG5. AI Girl: best for Top pick

   AI Girl opens this ranking on a partner slot, and it carries the top pick label. Partner listings hold 2 of the 8 places in the table, which the method sets ahead of the scored brands, so read that opening as a starting point rather than a settled verdict. The separating work in this category happens further down, where prices are stated in public: Lovli, sitting below empa, publishes $9.99 monthly and $4.17 yearly, with 100 welcome credits, no card required to try before a card is entered. Cost carries 40% of the score, so the priced brands below are where that weight lands.

4. CM6. Couple.me

   Couple.me sits mid-table in this ranking because it pairs free entry with a monthly allowance: 5 free messages, then payment page, then 100 tokens per month for images and voice notes for images and voice notes. female, male and anime spans female, male and anime styles, voice and roleplay covers voice and roleplay, and NSFW permitted for 18+; moderation filter applies allows adult material under a moderation filter. Data kept 6 years after account closure; not sold states data is kept for a period after closure and not sold, email and phone adds phone to email, and FAB AI LTD is the company named. The cost to weigh is the token model of 100 tokens per month for images and voice notes, where a monthly allowance runs out quickly. HakkoAI, the brand below, opens Free plan with limited access instead and adds Telegram through voice, telegram and roleplay.

   • What is free: 5 free messages, then payment page
   • Adult content policy: NSFW permitted for 18+; moderation filter applies
   • Memory: Remembers preferences, learns from conversations

   Pros

   • Voice is included, and voice notes draw on 100 tokens per month for images and voice notes rather than a separate voice purchase.
   • Memory is real rather than a label: it remembers preferences and learns from conversations.
   • Image generation and video generation are both part of the service, alongside roleplay and voice.
   • Personas cover female, male and anime characters, so a couple setup is not limited to one type of companion.
   • Support runs on email and phone, which is unusual in this category where email alone is common.

   Cons

   • Free access is short: 5 free messages, then payment page, which is thinner than Dippy AI at Unlimited free messages; ad-supported free tier.
   • A moderation filter sits over the adult content policy, so NSFW permitted for 18+; moderation filter applies is not unrestricted.
   • Data retention runs long: Data kept 6 years after account closure; not sold is a long window for anyone who reads it closely.
   • A mobile app is not among its platforms (web), so Couple.me runs in a browser only.

5. 7. HakkoAI

   HakkoAI holds a place in this ranking on its free plan and its reach outside a browser. Free plan with limited access lets a new account start with limited access, Cross-game long-term memory of interactions carries interactions into later sessions, and voice, telegram and roleplay adds voice, Telegram and roleplay, with female offering a female style and App Store (US) 4.0/5 from 28 ratings recording what store ratings show. Screenshots kept 3 days; deletion on request; own model covers brief screenshot retention, deletion on request and a model of its own. The lines to weigh are Minimum 16 years per Terms of Service; no ID check stated, which sets a lower age floor than the adult-only brands here, and Subscription plans plus in-app virtual currency and goods, which adds in-app currency and goods on top of the subscription. Support runs on email, community and help centre. SoulLink below opens Avatar creation free; no message limits published instead.

   • What is free: Free plan with limited access
   • Adult content policy: User content: explicit sexual content banned; roleplay allowed
   • Memory: Cross-game long-term memory of interactions

   Pros

   • Long-term memory carries interactions across games, with Cross-game long-term memory of interactions.
   • Voice is confirmed, and voice sits with 100% of the field.
   • Roleplay is offered under the terms, with explicit sexual content banned, so the character stays inside stated boundaries.
   • A free plan with limited access exists, so nothing has to be paid before the app is tried.
   • Support runs on email, community and help centre, which covers email, a help centre and a community.

   Cons

   • Platforms cover iOS only, and Android or desktop is not among ios.
   • Paying involves subscription plans plus in-app virtual currency and goods, so Subscription plans plus in-app virtual currency and goods adds a spending layer beyond a subscription.
   • Personas are female only, and male or anime is not among female.
   • Voice support is common in this field at 100%, so voice alone does not set HakkoAI apart.

6. 8. SoulLink

   SoulLink sits in this ranking as the community-first option. Avatar creation free; no message limits published is the entry point, with avatar creation open, and voice, telegram and roleplay covers voice, Telegram and roleplay, which suits readers who live in messaging apps. Chats stored; deletion on request; no LLM training reads most clearly in the table, pairing stored chats and deletion on request with no training on chats, while Users barred from posting explicit material; 18+ only keeps content non-explicit. The trade-off is where you can use it: Web, Discord and Twitch lists Web, Discord and Twitch rather than a mobile app listing, and support runs on email and community, with The Naughty Cult Ltd. and BG naming who runs it. Wysa below shares voice and a free chat layer, but not that reach.

   • What is free: Avatar creation free; no message limits published
   • Adult content policy: Users barred from posting explicit material; 18+ only
   • Voice: Yes

   Pros

   • Voice led roleplay paired with image creation and video creation
   • Avatar centered exchange reachable through web and messaging spaces

7. 9. Wysa

   Wysa closes this ranking on the points readers weigh hardest against it: retention and training. 10-year retention; in-app reset; anon chats train AI pairs long retention and an in-app reset with the use of anonymous chats to train the AI, and Remembers your messages and choices in the app shows the app keeping messages and choices. Chatting with Wysa AI free, incl. in-chat tools opens the chat, free and premium spans free and premium, and email, chat and help centre gives email, in-app chat and a help centre. 18+; 13-17 read terms with a guardian sets an adult floor with a guardian clause for younger readers. Against SoulLink above, Wysa offers ios rather than messaging reach, and steadier support, in exchange for the clearer no-training line Soullink publishes.

   • What is free: Chatting with Wysa AI free, incl. in-chat tools
   • Memory: Remembers your messages and choices in the app
   • Voice: Yes

   Pros

   • Remembers messages and choices inside the app for continuing conversations
   • Includes voice interaction alongside chat based support channels for guidance
   • Provides access through iOS with an in app reset for conversation history

What to look for

What a month actually costs

Cost is the heaviest weight here at 40%, so prices are read against the wider curve rather than in isolation. Across 180 brands the median monthly price is €13.15, the lower quartile €8.77 and the upper quartile €21.70, and the range recorded for this group is €8.76 to €51.74. A yearly figure deserves as much attention as the monthly one, because the gap between the two shapes the real cost.

What you can use before paying

The free offer carries 35% of the score. A brand that lets you hear the voice, send a few messages or build a character before any card is entered removes the risk of paying for the wrong thing. 80% of the brands in this ranking run a free model, and what each one caps is the part worth checking before you subscribe.

Voice, roleplay and generated media

100% of the brands here support voice, and 100% carries the same weight. Roleplay is narrower at 50%, and image generation is close to standard in the wider set at 98%, so the content rules attached to a voice or a roleplay feature matter more than the capability itself.

Support you can reach

Email is the baseline at 100%, with phone at 33.3% and a help centre at 50%. Billing questions arrive at awkward hours, and a brand that answers only by email leaves you waiting on the channel its own app does not use.

Retention, deletion and training

Privacy wording is read line by line across the 8 brands in this ranking. The questions that decide it are how long a chat log is kept, whether deletion on request actually happens, and whether anonymous conversations are used to train a model. Brands that publish the shortest retention and the plainest line on training sit higher in the table.
