Free AI girlfriend apps compared: messages, images and what stays locked

Every AI girlfriend app in this comparison but one has a free start, and none of them is free for good. The free plan is a sample: a handful of messages, sometimes an image or two, then a paywall. The apps here that call themselves an AI companion or an AI chatbot work the same way.

This page compares what the free plan of each app actually includes, whether you have to hand over a card, what stays locked, and what disappears from a free account after a while. Each limit comes from the app's own pages, and each source is listed at the end of the page. Where an app offers a free plan but publishes no number for it, the table says exactly that.

What does each free plan include?

Free plans of AI girlfriend apps: allowance, payment details and what is left out, as published in September 2026

Sorted by the number of free messages each app publishes, largest first; a range counts by its lower end, and equal counts are in alphabetical order. Apps that count free use in images or their own currency come next, then apps that publish no number. Seduced, which has no free plan, is last. A dash means the app does not say.

How long does a free plan last?

Free allowances come in three shapes, and the shape matters more than the size. Some are one-off: Candy.ai's 5 messages, GirlfriendGPT's 10 to 20, and JOI AI's 6 image generations are counted over the whole life of the account. Once they are used, they do not come back.

Others renew. CrushOn.AI lists 100 message credits a month plus 20 inspiration replies a day, and Kupid.ai's 15 messages appear to be a weekly quota, going by the notice the app shows when they run out ("You're out of messages this week"). Secrets.ai has a daily message limit too, but does not publish the number.

The third kind rewards coming back. eHentai.ai's daily bonus starts at 10 messages and grows by one each day you claim it, up to 50; miss a day and it resets to 10. DreamGF.ai and DreamBF.ai advertise the same bonus on their homepages without saying whether free accounts get it.

Do you need a card for a free AI girlfriend?

For a plain free account, mostly no. Eleven apps say a free account needs no payment details, usually just an email address or a Google sign-in. FlirtCam.Ai does not even ask for that for the first 3 messages.

Two exceptions are worth knowing. Kupid.ai runs a free trial next to its free account, and the trial takes a card: Kupid.ai charges $0.50 to check it, says it refunds that immediately, and lets you cancel at any time before the trial ends; activating the trial early starts the subscription at once. Seduced has no free plan at all; its 2-day trial costs $10, includes 40 credits and renews into the $30 Pro plan. DreamGF.ai and DreamBF.ai describe a free trial but never say whether a card is needed to start it.

What stays locked until you pay?

Text is what the free plans give away; pictures, video and voice are what they sell. Kupid.ai's free account has no photos, video or voice at all. Swipey's free tier leaves out adult chat, image generation, voice calls and video. FlirtCam.Ai and DarLink Ai show generated images blurred until you subscribe, and Lovescape does not let a free account buy the chips its images are paid with.

Where media is free, it is a one-off grant. Candy.ai includes a single image, eHentai.ai 4 extra photos, JOI AI 6 image generations, and GeneratePorn.ai 48 credits, which at 16 credits per image is three pictures. GeneratePorn.ai keeps image editing and video for members only, and JOI AI's free generations do not cover images of a particular character, which cost its own currency instead.

What can a free account lose?

A free account is not a safe place to keep anything. JOI AI stores free generations for 7 days and asks you to save the ones you want before then. Secrets.ai deletes media generated on a free account after 14 days. CrushOn.AI deletes free chat history after 7 days without activity, and eHentai.ai says it removes old, unused characters, images and chats, with a period that depends on the plan.

Free credits can expire as well. Kupid.ai's terms say that coins credited at no charge, free-trial coins included, expire six months after they are added. Going the other way, when a Candy.ai subscription ends the account falls back to the free plan and any remaining tokens expire with it.

Which free plan fits what you want to try?

If you want to see how the chat feels before deciding, the plans that allow the most messages are the ones to start with: CrushOn.AI's monthly credits, OurDream.ai's 55 dreamcoins at one per message, and Kupid.ai's 15 messages plus 50 more for verifying an email. If you want to try images, the only free image allowances with a published number are Candy.ai's single image, GeneratePorn.ai's three, eHentai.ai's 4 photos and JOI AI's 6 generations. If you want to try a chat without creating an account, FlirtCam.Ai's first 3 messages are the only option with a number attached, and they stay safe for work.

None of this says how good the conversation or the images are. It only says how much of each app you can see for free, which is the part the vendors themselves put in writing.

Questions about free AI girlfriend apps

Is there a completely free AI girlfriend app?

Not among the apps compared here. Every free plan with published terms has a cap, and the largest published message allowance is CrushOn.AI's 100 message credits a month. Seven apps offer a free start without publishing any number.

Can I use an AI girlfriend without signing up?

FlirtCam.Ai allows 3 messages without an account, safe for work only. Secrets.ai has a guest limit with no published number, and DarLink Ai lets a guest generate one character but asks you to sign up to keep it. JOI AI's homepage description advertises chat without login but publishes no limit for it. The other apps ask you to register first or do not say.

Do free plans include pictures?

Rarely, and only as a one-off: 1 image at Candy.ai, 6 image generations at JOI AI, and 48 credits at GeneratePorn.ai, enough for three images.

Can a free account turn into a paid subscription by itself?

Not a free account that takes no payment details. A trial can lead to one. Kupid.ai's trial is tied to a card and lets you cancel before it ends, and Seduced's $10 trial renews into its $30 Pro plan.

Is a free AI companion or AI chatbot different from a free AI girlfriend?

Not in how the free plan works. The same apps use all three names, and the limits in the table are the same whichever name an app uses.
