There are tons of AI girlfriend apps these days, but honestly, most of them feel pretty similar, making it hard to figure out which one’s worth your time. Plus, searching for these apps can be a headache with all the spammy stuff popping up, especially from Muah AI who claim to be the best but don’t really back it up.
Anyway, I’ve tried a bunch and thought I’d share my thoughts on some of them to help you find a good one. Just to be clear, I’m not getting paid to review these; it’s all personal experience.
- HeraHaven
The Good:
Similar variety to Candy AI, with a range of characters to suit different preferences.
Image quality is incredible, super realistic and probably the best I’ve seen. Free users can request up to two images daily.
The Not-So-Good:
Text chats are very basic and feel geared more towards quick, surface-level interactions rather than deep emotional connections.
- Candy AI
The Good:
Tons of character options; female, male, anime, and even characters with unique traits.
The photorealistic art style is impressive, and the text-to-image feature is worth trying.
The Not-So-Good:
The text chat feels dull, and all the characters come across as pretty similar.
The voice chat feature didn’t work for me—anyone else have luck with it?
- SoulFun
The Good:
You get 5 free chats per day (though it used to be 30, no idea why they changed it).
It’s the only app I’ve found where voice and video chats actually work decently. Voice chat feels smooth with minimal delay, and the replies match the conversation well.
Video chat is a cool concept, and there’s a free trial. I managed to connect once, and it was fun to see the character respond in real-time, even though they talked a bit too much.
The Not-So-Good:
The app’s interface isn’t great.
Limited character options.
It’s also pretty pricey.
- Muah AI
The Good:
Focuses on custom characters, so you can really personalize your experience.
Offers text, image, and voice options, plus phone calls.
The Not-So-Good:
Public characters aren’t available unless you use character cards from the Muah AI community.
The app doesn’t seem to get updated much, and there’s a lot of spam attached to it.
Here are some of the anime style ones that I’ve found
- Janitor AI:
Completely free and fun for role-playing with anime-style AI.
- SpicyChat:
Offers basic features for free, but there’s sometimes a wait, and advanced models require a subscription.
