Free tiers, honestly ranked

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 photorealistic benchmark. She looks real, remembers everything, and never breaks character. OurDream AI owns the top spot for image fidelity in 2026 benchmarks. The trade-off is premium pricing and a credit meter on video.

    $19.99/mo. Profile or Try ourdream

  2. MyBot ♥♥♥

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

    Build her from the model up. Voice, memory, and full control for under two dollars. MyBot hands you the keys to the engine room. You choose the LLM, the voice, the vulgarity level, and the memory depth, then pay less than a coffee for the privilege.

    $1.99/mo. Profile or Try MyBot

  3. MyAnima ♥♥♥

    Most usable free chat

    A mood-aware companion that listens, adapts, and sometimes forgets. MyAnima delivers a polished, personality-first companion experience that shines in gentle moments but stumbles when conversations deepen. The free tier is too thin to judge the full product fairly.

    $9.99/mo. Profile or Try MyAnima

  4. Candy AI ♥♥♥

    Best free look at pictures

    Best-in-class images meet uncensored chat, voice, and video in one companion site. Candy AI delivers the strongest image generation in the companion space, wrapped in a multimodal package that beginners grasp fast. Conversation quality stays decent, not deep.

    $12.99/mo. Profile or Try Candy AI

  5. Nomi ♥♥♥♥

    Free tier good enough to test memory

    The companion that actually remembers your name, your jokes, your fights. Nomi AI builds the deepest memory of any companion site tested. The tradeoff is speed and a smaller starting cast.

    $15.99/mo. Profile or Try Nomi

  6. Muah ♥♥♥

    Cheapest with voice

    Mobile NSFW companion with real voice calls and x-ray photos. Muah AI delivers rare real-time phone calls in a mobile-first NSFW package, but the experience stutters. You trade polish for permission.

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.
