How We Rate AI Girlfriend Apps
Six criteria, official sources and a check date on every fact. No invented test results.
Updated 2026-11-02 · Independent review, not an official site
Our scores (out of 10) and the order of our ranking come from six criteria. We apply them the same way to every app, and the facts behind them come from the brand's own website.
The six criteria
- Popularity. How many people actually use the app, estimated from Ahrefs organic traffic data worldwide and in Asian markets (including Chinese-speaking ones). A widely used app has a track record; a tiny one may vanish.
- Features. Breadth and depth: chat and roleplay, custom characters, memory, pictures in chat, video, voice messages and calls, group chat, anime and realistic styles, AI boyfriend and LGBTQ+ options.
- Free allowance. What a free account really includes, in numbers (messages, characters, pictures, refills), and whether a card is needed to sign up.
- Pricing clarity. Are prices visible without logging in? Is the renewal price shown next to the intro offer? Are token costs per picture or minute published? Apps that hide prices behind sign-up score lower here.
- Language support. Interface languages, with a separate note on Simplified or Traditional Chinese, and whether characters reply in any language.
- Payments and billing. Cards, crypto, PayPal, one-off plans without auto-renewal, and what name appears on your statement.
Where the facts come from
We read each brand's official pricing, help-centre, FAQ and terms pages, and app-store listings where relevant, and store every fact with its source and the date checked. The current data set was checked on 2 Nov 2026. If something is not published, or is only shown after sign-up, we write "not published" or "shown after sign-up". Third-party claims (press, forums) are not used as facts.
What we don't claim
We don't present hands-on tests, screenshots or chat logs we haven't made, and the demo chat on our home page is clearly marked as a scripted demo written by us. Partner commissions don't buy a place in the ranking; brands without a partner link are not listed at all rather than ranked lower. See our disclosure.
Corrections
