Free tiers, honestly ranked

Updated Sep 5, 2026. 6 apps.

Every site dangles a free tier. Every free tier is a demo in disguise. This list ranks them by how much you can see before the paywall hits, and flags the cheapest real tier hiding behind each.

  1. ourdream ♥♥♥♥♥

    Ten free generations, then the full site at $19.99

    The leaderboard's most complete companion platform. Convincing images and video. Chat that holds together. Memory that sticks. Voice that sounds right. Price lands in the middle. First on every criterion we grade. One platform covers images, video, voice, conversation. No weak spot.

    $19.99/mo. Profile or Try ourdream

  2. MyBot ♥♥♥

    $1.99 a month is closer to free than any free tier

    Looks and personality tuned exactly right. Costs less than you'd expect. Value is unmatched. Realism shifts with your effort. Speed wobbles.

    $1.99/mo. Profile or Try MyBot

  3. MyAnima ♥♥♥♥

    Most usable free chat

    Mood shifts the chat. It builds, slowly. Choose this for conversation. It circles back now and then. The free tier dies before you can judge it.

    $9.99/mo. Profile or Try MyAnima

  4. Candy AI ♥♥♥♥

    Best free look at pictures

    The biggest name in the space. Images render fast. Characters send selfies unprompted. Polished everywhere, but nagged by pop-ups and a stricter content limit than competitors.

    $12.99/mo. Profile or Try Candy AI

  5. Nomi ♥♥♥♥

    Free tier good enough to test memory

    They remember your name. They send selfies when asked. Made for bonds that stick—friend, partner, anything you want. Photos lag. Bugs pop up.

    $15.99/mo. Profile or Try Nomi

  6. Muah ♥♥♥♥

    Cheapest with voice

    Jump in quick. Text her, send voice clips, trade photos, call her for real. Beats rivals on ways to connect. Calls need a US number. Premium tiers sting.

    $9.99/mo. Profile or Try Muah

Questions

Is there a completely free AI girlfriend?
None that actually work. Every free tier chokes messages, pixelates photos, or does both. They exist solely to harvest a credit card.
