AI Girlfriend Apps With Custom Characters

What "Custom Characters" Means in an AI Girlfriend App

Four kinds of creation hide behind the same words:

• Written character sheets. You write a personality, scenario and example dialogue, then publish the character to a library (Character.AI, SpicyChat, Janitor AI, CrushOn.AI).
• Companion builders. A mix of text fields and appearance for a companion that is yours (Kindroid, Nomi, Muah AI).
• Visual menus. You pick looks, traits and a voice from lists (Candy AI, DreamGF, Kupid AI, Romantic AI, Nastia AI).
• One companion you shape. Name, look and backstory for the only companion on the account (Replika, Paradot).

The first group mostly offers a community library to browse as well. For a step-by-step method, see our guides on how to build an AI character and writing a character prompt; if you plan to publish, compare platforms for character creators. Looks are covered separately on avatar customization.

How We Picked

We did not build characters in these apps. The order follows what is documented: how many fields and what limits are published, whether creation is free, whether you can share or import characters, and how clear the content rules are. Apps that publish no field list rank lower. Facts are from official help centers, wikis and store listings checked on October 20, 2026.

Kindroid documents the most fields: a personality or backstory of up to 2,000 characters (2,500 for subscribers), a greeting, a Response Directive, Key Memories, Example Messages, keyphrase journal entries and Learned Context. An avatar is generated from a prompt of up to 200 characters, and you pick a voice, a model and a style such as Roleplay or Companion. The AI can draft a personality and greeting from a 200-character prompt. The Community tab lists shareable Kins you can search by name, tag and creator.

Subscribers get 10 Kindroids, with more slots sold ($3.49 for one slot on the US App Store); the one-time preview allows 2. There is no free plan. See our Kindroid review.

Character.AI's creation form takes a name, avatar (uploaded or generated), a voice from the library or your own 3 to 15 second clip, a greeting plus up to 5 more, tags, visibility (public, unlisted or private), a tagline, a description and a Character Definition of up to 32,000 characters with example dialogue. You can add an intro video, and a Lorebook is in beta (c.ai+ first). Personas and scenes work alongside.

We found no paywall on creating a Character, but the company filed for Chapter 11 on October 12, 2026, and a public Character may stay active after you delete your account. See our Character.AI review.

SpicyChat's docs list name, title, greeting, personality (up to 5,000 characters), visibility (public, unlisted or private, plus whether others can see the definition), an avatar you generate or upload, and tags.

The docs advise keeping the whole definition near 900 to 1,100 tokens.

Free users get 3 user personas (the characters you play) by default; paid tiers raise that to 10, 50 or 100. See our SpicyChat review.

Characters run in Classic or Roleplay Mode, and the switch to Roleplay Mode is permanent. A free account can make one character, and more detail costs tokens.

Also documented, with fewer details

• DreamGF: a builder for look and personality, with an optional chat intro; generating a companion costs 20 tokens, and public characters need manual approval.
• Kupid AI: a four-step creator (style, looks, name, voice, personality, job, relationship). Companion counts conflict: 1, 4 or 8 by tier in the table, "as many as you want" in the FAQ.
• Nastia AI: gender, looks, personality, backstory, conversation style and voice; one companion on the free tier.
• Romantic AI: realistic or anime style, traits and interests; custom characters are a Premium benefit.
• GirlfriendGPT: Quick Create and Custom Create; the Terms give 2 to 3 characters for free users as an example, and characters can be shared publicly.
• Replika: one companion per account with a backstory, name, pronouns and traits bought in the store; no library or import.
• Paradot, Anima, Talkie, Chai and EVA AI: creation is mentioned (personality sliders, a "vibe" and backstory, "Create a Talkie", private or shared characters) but no field list or limits are published.

How Creation Differs Between Apps

Sheet or menu. A written sheet gives you control and takes effort; the quality of the text decides the character. Menu builders are faster but limited to the options on offer, as in Candy AI's list of ethnicities. Our guide on how to create an AI girlfriend walks through both.

Memory inside the sheet. Several apps use the character text as permanent context: CrushOn.AI's description acts as permanent memory, and Janitor AI warns that permanent tokens eat into the context window. Kindroid separates backstory, key memories and journal entries. See AI companions with memory.

Visibility. Character.AI and SpicyChat offer public, unlisted and private characters; Kindroid has shareable Kins in its Community tab; Nomi and Replika document no public sharing.

Import. SpicyChat imports Character.AI card files, and CrushOn.AI imports JSON. The community card format is a volunteer spec, not a vendor standard, so field support varies.

Free vs Paid

• Free creation: Character.AI, SpicyChat (unlimited on all plans), Janitor AI, CrushOn.AI (10 profile cards), GirlfriendGPT (2 to 3 characters per its Terms example), Candy AI, Kupid AI and Nastia AI (one each).
• Paid: Kindroid (the preview allows 2 Kindroids), Nomi's higher slot counts (paid accounts hold up to 10), Romantic AI's custom characters, and larger limits: Kindroid's 2,500-character personality for subscribers, CrushOn.AI's higher profile-card counts.
• Metered: Candy AI charges tokens for extra detail and DreamGF 20 tokens per companion.

Free-only options are in our list of best free AI girlfriend apps.

Limitations and Privacy Notes

• Filters still apply. Character.AI says no definition unlocks forbidden content, Janitor AI requires a Limitless tag for sexual or romantic characters, and Kindroid's automated scans read input fields such as backstory and key memories. See unfiltered AI chat.
• Adults only. Characters must be adults: CrushOn.AI bars characters who are minors, Kupid AI's creator starts at 18, and several apps ban likenesses of real people.
• Public characters outlive you. Character.AI may keep a public Character active after account deletion, and Talkie says characters made by a deleted account show the creator as "Null".
• Moderation. Talkie reviews AI settings before they go live and DreamGF approves public characters manually.
• Who sees chats. Character.AI says creators cannot see users' chats; other apps do not say. Chats may train models on several apps; see AI companion privacy.
