The category benchmark for chat and image quality at $5.99-12.99/mo — just know the free tier is a teaser and the token meter takes heavy users to $30-80/mo.
The bootstrapped memory-and-privacy pick: category-best recall, voice and NSFW selfies for a flat $11.66-13.99/mo, and the only operator honest enough to admit its encryption isn't end-to-end.
The memory king of AI companions — flat $8.33-15.99/mo, no tokens, genuinely uncensored. Just read the privacy policy, not the privacy marketing.
The biggest character library in the category — 40,000+ community creations with real NSFW roleplay depth — at ~$16.58/mo annual, if you can tolerate lottery-grade quality variance and a 20-message free tier.
VC-backed image powerhouse: photoreal, anime and hentai plus 10-second videos from $9.99/mo — brilliant visuals bolted onto a ~50-message memory that forgets your storyline.
A Candy.ai-style package at the same $5.99-12.99/mo with top-tier image quality and real phone calls — but the ~30 tokens/min call meter is the fastest way to drain money in this category.
GirlfriendGPT alumni built a better image-and-video engine at $19.99/mo — just budget for the DreamCoins meter and take the 'even we can't read your chats' claim with a shovel of salt.
The voice-first option: companion voices with real emotional range, from $17.99/mo — just watch the photo/voice caps and the priciest top tier in the category at $49.99/mo.
Quickest way to build an AI girlfriend and get uncensored chat plus NSFW images — as long as you don't need voice, video, or a free tier that actually shows you the goods.
The deepest girlfriend-builder in the category from $9.99/mo — but robotic chat, flat voice and a years-old face-consistency glitch keep it a tier below Candy.ai.
A slick mobile girlfriend app with a Mozilla privacy report card you should read before typing a word — weak security, hundreds of trackers, and a bot that begs for your photos.

How to pick — the operator’s read
AI girlfriend products now split into two different categories wearing the same label. Most sell fictional companions: choose a face, start chatting, then pay for unrestricted messages, images, voice or video. ExChat takes the other route. It builds a private, clearly labeled AI persona from relationship context and source material you are authorized to use. I rank it first for provenance, consent and user-visible memory controls — not because it already wins every feature comparison. Its final plan prices, limits and production enforcement record are still unproven.
How I judge the category, in order: identity and consent (fictional character or permitted relationship-based persona, with no deceptive cloning), chat quality and memory (what is remembered, what can be corrected, and whether the source is visible), the free-to-paid catch, the token math for images and voice, billing honesty, and data controls for export and deletion. That rubric is why ExChat leads on product design while scoring lower on price certainty, and why Candy.ai can remain the better purchase for someone who wants a polished fictional companion today.
For the established paid services, the free-vs-paid reality is still blunt: free tiers are demos, often SFW-leaning and stripped of images or voice. Realistic spend for daily use is usually $10-30/month before heavy media generation; image-and-voice users can spend much more. ExChat is the exception only because it has not published final billing yet, not because it has promised a permanently free product. Pay monthly before considering annual billing, keep identifying details out of generic cloud chats, and never upload another person's messages, photos or voice without the rights and consent required to use them.

FAQ
Are any AI girlfriend sites actually free?
Not among the established products in any meaningful sense. Their free tiers are evaluation demos with message or media limits. ExChat has not published final pricing or a permanent free-plan allowance, so its current launch-stage access should not be described as a confirmed free tier.
What does an AI girlfriend realistically cost per month?
Across the established services, entry subscriptions commonly start around $5.99-15/mo on annual billing, with monthly plans and media-heavy usage costing more. Image generation, video and voice often use a second token or credit wallet. ExChat cannot be included in the price comparison yet because its final plan table is still unpublished.
Is it safe to give these sites my card?
Use a card you monitor, verify the billing descriptor and cancellation route before paying, and assume server-side chat logs could be exposed in a breach. ExChat has not launched its final billing terms, so there is no payment flow to endorse yet. Its published trust model is stronger than average, but production enforcement and retention timing still need verification.
Which one has the best free tier to test first?
GirlfriendGPT remains the easiest established catalog to sample before paying because it offers a large community library and a small free message allowance. ExChat's launch-stage builder is worth exploring for its relationship-based workflow, but no permanent free tier has been published. Candy.ai's free access remains a short product demo.
Can I build an AI girlfriend from a real person?
Only with a service that has explicit likeness rules and only when you have the required rights and consent. ExChat requires explicit permission to create a realistic persona of another living person and keeps the result labeled as AI. Do not upload an ex's private messages, photos or voice to any service without authorization.
