Best Free AI Girlfriend Apps

Nomi's free plan is where we would send most people first. Nomipedia calls it "an indefinite free plan with 50 messages per day", and the home page says no credit card is needed to start chatting. Free messages can be up to 400 characters (800 on paid plans), and free users get a daily selfie and art allowance, smaller than subscribers' (the numbers are not published).

Nomipedia's list of paid extras is voice messages and calls, group chats, up to 10 active Nomis, longer messages, more daily images, video and credit purchases; the memory system is not on that list. Sign-in is through Google or Apple only. If you upgrade later, the US App Store lists the Standard Plan at $15.99 a month. Our Nomi review covers the memory tools in detail.

Skip it if you want voice without paying, or explicit images: Nomi's nudity filter applies on every plan.

On paper, Character.AI has the most generous free plan. Its c.ai+ FAQ says: "We are proud to continue offering free and unlimited messaging for ALL users." Free accounts also get the PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak chat styles, 15 memory pins, a basic Lorebook, and free Character Voice and Character Calls with no published minute cap.

The trade-offs are real: banner and interstitial ads, slow mode or a waiting room when servers are busy, "Limited" image features, and no adult content for anyone. Every account goes through age assurance, and some adults are asked for a selfie or ID. Character Technologies filed for Chapter 11 on October 12, 2026; the platform runs "for now", but the company says it will be wound down if no bid keeps it going. Read the Character.AI review and our Chapter 11 report.

Skip it if you want romance beyond its content rules, or a service with a settled future. If you stay, its data export is worth using.

Janitor AI's help center lists its free tier as "Unlimited chats with millions of bots", with the standard chat models and a context of around 9,000 tokens, and promises: "We will always keep a free option available for everyone." The built-in JLLM model is free, and adult content between consenting adult characters is allowed under published rules.

What you give up: memory is that context window plus a Chat Memory field you fill in yourself, and there is no voice or image generation on any plan yet. The iPhone and Android apps start in a Restricted Mode, and users connecting from the UK, Australia or Brazil must pass a one-time k-ID age check. janitor+ ($12.99 a month) adds five times the context. More in our Janitor AI review.

Skip it if you want a companion that remembers you for weeks without manual notes.

SpicyChat's docs say "core features remain accessible to everyone, free of charge". The free tier includes the default models (Default 26B, Zeta G4 26B and several 8B models), a 4,096-token context, replies of up to 180 tokens, three personas and unlimited character creation, and no message cap is stated. Its docs do not limit NSFW roleplay to paid tiers, but adult content needs a selfie or ID check in France, the UK, Italy, Australia and 26 US states.

Free chat carries ads, since ad-free chat is a paid feature, and paid tiers skip the waiting line. Memory Manager starts at $5.95 a month, in-chat images at $19.95 and text-to-speech at $29.95. Some Trustpilot reviewers report caps and long queues (user reports). It runs on the web, with an Android APK; see the SpicyChat review.

Skip it if privacy terms matter more to you than the character library.

CrushOn.AI publishes its free plan in more detail than any rival: 100 message credits a month, unlimited use of its Free Models (Pro Models use credits, Ultra Models are locked), 8K memory, 200 historical messages per character, 4,000 pinned characters per chat, 20 inspiration replies a day and one custom voice slot. Voice messages and AI voice replies are listed on every tier, Free included.

The catches: replies can slow down at peak times, there is no group chat, and the pricing page warns that free "Chat History will be deleted after 7 days of inactivity". Adult content sits behind Unfiltered and Hidden Content switches; Hidden Content needs a login, a two-day check-in and 50 spent credits. Paid plans start at $5.99 a month. See our CrushOn.AI review.

Skip it if you chat in bursts with long breaks, because inactive history is wiped.

Replika's help center is plain about it: "chatting with Replika will always be free", including customizing an avatar and talking at any time. No free message cap is published. The Terms are more careful and call Free Use "limited access" that Replika may deny at its discretion.

For an AI girlfriend, the free plan stops short. Relationship options beyond Friend, including Romantic Partner, unlock with Pro, as do voice calls and roleplay options. Two 2026 store reviews say users could not keep chatting without paying; no official page confirms a paywall on text chat (user reports). More in our Replika review.

Skip it if a romantic relationship status is the point for you.

Nastia AI describes its free tier as "Free forever - no credit card, no trial, no expiration": uncensored text chat with one companion and basic customization under a daily token allowance. NSFW content is on "from the first message", so adult chat costs nothing to try.

The size of that daily allowance is not published, and images, video and voice messages need the paid plan, whose price official pages state differently ($15.99 a month on the landing pages, other figures on comparison pages). Web app only, with age checks where law requires them. See the Nastia AI review.

Skip it if you want to know exactly how many free messages you get.

Kupid AI says "the free tier doesn't expire, and there's no card required". Its pricing table lists 15 messages for Free, memory of the last 30 messages, one companion you design and a standard queue; photos, videos and voice messages are paid.

The table does not say whether the 15 messages are per day, per session or in total, and the home page's "Unlimited Chat for Free" contradicts it. If it is a total, this is closer to a preview than a free plan. Paid access starts at $12.99 a week. More in our Kupid AI review.

Skip it if 15 messages sounds too small to judge a companion.

Muah AI lets you open a demo chatroom without logging in, then asks you to create an account after a set number of messages. Its guide says free chat "can have guest prompts, message limits, photo-generation quotas, photo-viewing locks, or call allowances", without figures. Prices appear only after login, and a 2024 breach exposed about 1.9 million email addresses together with chat prompts. See the Muah AI review.

Romantic AI's Terms describe a free "Basic" tier the company may deny at its discretion. Premium promises unlimited messages, romantic roleplay, custom characters and "unblurred spicy replies", so expect those to be limited on Basic. Store reviewers in 2023 said each message cost a Heart (user reports, possibly outdated). The Android app contains ads. More in the Romantic AI review.

Chai's privacy policy says ads are shown on a free subscription, but its Safety Center adds that some regions require a paid subscription. No limits are published, and 2026 Google Play reviewers say chatting now uses daily Pieces (user reports). Mobile only, and its models are designed to refuse sexually explicit content. See our Chai review.

Talkie's Terms describe a "Free Use" program, and Google Play notes the app contains ads. No message, image or voice limits are published. It bans explicit and even suggestive content, and its Terms admit users from age 14, so it suits character chat rather than an AI girlfriend. Our Talkie review has the details.

The App Store lists EVA AI as free with in-app purchases, and its Terms describe a Basic tier you fall back to when Premium ends. What Basic includes is not published, and Neurons are charged for "romantic messages" and gifts, even on top of Premium. The Terms ban sexually explicit content. See the EVA AI review.

Paradot's Terms define "Free Use" as limited access, with no published limits. A 2023 Google Play review says new users got 100 coins and each message cost one; no official page confirms it. It runs on Android, the web and desktop installers, but the iPhone link on its site is broken. More in our Paradot review.

Anima is free to start and its web app offers a guest mode, but its FAQ only says tokens unlock "some higher-tiered features". Its site now shows an overlay pointing visitors to GetHoney, a separate product run by another company. See the Anima review.

Kindroid ended its free plan on October 1, 2026: "The previous Lite model and unlimited free messaging have been retired." New accounts get a one-time preview on the flagship model: 50 messages (15 in some regions; regenerate, continue and suggest count as half), 5 selfies, 5,000 audio credits and up to 2 Kindroids. After that the account turns read-only: you can read, play back, export and delete, but not send messages or call.

The 3-day trial unlocks most subscriber features, but it needs a card or store payment and converts to a paid plan unless you cancel; Kindroid emails a reminder a day before. The US App Store lists $15.99 a month. Read why Kindroid ended its free plan or our Kindroid review.

GirlfriendGPT's Terms say the core service is free, then give an example of the limits: "up to 2 or 3 characters" and "a limited message count, such as 10 to 20 messages in total". After that you need credits, which free users can earn by completing tasks, or a paid tier whose prices sit behind a Discord login. A few test messages work before you register. See the GirlfriendGPT review.

DreamGF calls its free tier a "free trial": registration is free and "No cards/payments required". It publishes no length and no message or image limits, beyond a Daily Claim Bonus of 10 messages on day one, rising by one a day to 50 if you return daily. Voice, calls, your own girlfriends and unblurred content are premium, at $12.99 for the first month and $25.98 after. More in our DreamGF review.

Candy AI's home page mentions a "free trial", but its help center and Terms describe a free account capped at 5 messages in total across all characters, one custom character and one image: "Further use requires a subscription." Premium costs €9.99 for the first month, then €13.99, as seen from an EU connection. See what Candy AI costs or the Candy AI review.
