What we cover
Our directory contains 64 AI companion apps, character platforms and related tools. Candy AI also has a detailed review covering character controls, generated media, subscriptions and privacy. Every directory product has a positioning and source record.
How we build a recommendation
- Identify the product’s actual job. A visual adult girlfriend, an ongoing emotional companion, a fandom roleplay platform and a local model interface should not be judged as interchangeable.
- Find feature and access evidence. We start with provider pages, help guides and developer store listings. If price or access details cannot be established there, we use attributed reports and label the uncertainty.
- Explain the fit and the trade-off. A recommendation should name the activity and the reason it suits that activity, then identify a relevant limit.
- Keep the source date. A current page check does not make an old checkout report current.
How we describe adult content
We use adult, NSFW and uncensored when those terms describe the product. We distinguish chat rules from image rules: Nomi’s uncensored text and its prohibition on nude selfies are different facts. A romantic relationship mode also does not automatically establish unrestricted sexual roleplay.
What the editorial score measures
The 10-point rubric assigns up to 3 points for companion focus, 2 for character and memory controls, 2 for interaction formats, and 1 each for free access, price transparency and feature documentation. The score brings those feature and access differences into one comparison. A specialist tool can score below a broader platform while still being the better fit for a particular job.
The editor’s ten picks keep their selected order; they are not sorted by score. The complete rules and all 64 score breakdowns make that distinction visible.
How to use the comparison
Start with the activity you want: an ongoing conversation, a custom character, adult roleplay or generated media. Compare the relevant controls and plan costs before choosing a subscription.
For memory, look at saved facts, backstory fields and continuity across sessions. For images and calls, check the included allowance and the cost of additional use.
How prices and free access are recorded
We distinguish month-to-month prices, weekly access, annual equivalents, introductory offers and credit packs. Where reported and official offers conflict, the source record keeps the conflict. We do not convert currencies without a stated rate.
“Free plan” means ongoing usable access or a resetting allowance. Free registration, a finite preview and a card-backed trial are different offers. Where the allowance varies, check the provider’s current access details.
Commercial relationships
AI Girlfriends Review may earn a commission if you follow a qualifying product link and register or purchase. The publisher has registered with some AI companion affiliate programmes. Recommendation pages carry a commission disclosure, and the Affiliate Disclosure explains attribution and potential conflicts. Commission amounts are not part of the editorial score rubric.
Updates and corrections
When a source changes, the related feature, price or policy record should be rechecked and its check date updated. Material factual corrections should identify what changed. Send a correction with a link to the updated source when a feature or plan changes.
A useful correction includes the page URL, the statement in question, the proposed correction and an authoritative source. Privacy concerns and rights notices can also be raised through the publisher contact details.
