How we rank

Each app is scored on five things — conversation, memory, media, price and the controls you get over your own account. The final score is the average, rounded to one decimal. A place in this list is not for sale, and no app has ever been added or moved because of a commercial conversation.

Which one is for you

If you want one subscription that covers everything, start at the top with Candy AI. If you are here for the conversation and the media leaves you cold, skip to Nomi. If you want to build a companion rather than pick one, Camsoda AI has the deepest builder. And if you are only curious, start with a free tier — Sweetdream has the most generous one.

What changed this month

Nomi rolled out group chats to every paying subscriber, which lifted its conversation score. Camsoda AI joins the ranking for the first time after its character builder went from three steps to six. Joi enters at the bottom: the price is the lowest here, and so is the amount you get for it.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI girlfriend app is the best right now?

Candy AI takes the top spot this month, because it is the only app that handles chat, images and voice well inside one subscription. If the conversation matters more to you than the media, Nomi is the better buy.

Are there free AI girlfriend apps?

Every app in this ranking has a free tier, but each one limits either the number of messages or the image generation. Expect to pay between $10 and $20 a month for use without limits.

How often is this ranking updated?

Every month. The date at the top of the page is the last new round of testing, not the first publication.
