AI boyfriend apps where you build him yourself

My top pick is SpicyChat: you can build him from scratch and chat free without a message cap, and adult content is allowed. Nomi AI comes next for long-term memory and 50 free messages a day, and Candy AI third for pictures, video and voice on a partner you design, plus the lowest long-term price once you commit. OurDream AI is a strong pick for custom characters with voice calls, group chat and paid video, and Joi AI is the one to look at if a companion who adapts to how you text matters most.

I'd love these apps to stop assuming one kind of user. Until they do, the character builder is where you take control. If a relaxed content policy is your first filter, my list of uncensored AI apps sorts them on that instead.

After that come memory and images, because a partner who forgets you or can't be pictured feels thin quickly. Voice calls count too, though less.

Then the practical layer. The free start: a published daily allowance beats a vague promise of limited access. The price: the cheapest plan I'd actually pay for, including the coins, tokens or credits that images and calls use. The content level, stated plainly: adult content on every plan, on paid plans only, or a softer policy. And the catch: refund rules, cancel paths and billing names.

One thing I can't rank is how well each builder handles a male character, because the official pages behind this list don't describe gender options. I'd rather tell you that than guess. My full method sits on a separate page: how I check every app here.

Secrets AI, Kindroid, Soulkyn, EVA AI Soulmate and Uncensy are in the tables instead. I'd single out Kindroid: its free plan has unlimited messages on the base model and 2 character slots. Uncensy is worth a glance for a free tier with 40 messages a day and no credit card required.

If your ideal partner lives in a story rather than a relationship chat, my AI chat roleplay picks suit that better.

Nothing is paid for text: the Default model chats without limit, though you'll see ads, may hit waiting lines, and get 4K memory with replies up to 180 tokens. No images or voice. According to the official landing page, making your first character and talking to it happens right away.

If your ideal partner mostly lives in words, you can build him and chat for a long time at no cost. I like this free offer a lot, because it's clear about what's missing.

If you pay, my first step would be Get a Taste: $5.95 monthly, or $60.00 for a whole year. Ads and waiting lines go away, and a memory manager keeps key details on file, which matters for a companion. True Supporter at $19.95 is where images begin, with unlimited in-chat images, 8K context and semantic memory 2.0.

Im All In at $29.95 adds text-to-speech for replies. I'd only climb if pictures or voice really matter to you.

Now the catch. Image generation on paid tiers is described as inconsistent, with the same character looking different in every picture. That hurts if you want to see one steady face. Reviews also cite a low 2/5 aggregate rating on Trustpilot, where users complain the AI repeats itself and makes logic mistakes.

Yet the chat is described elsewhere as well-paced and character-driven, so the picture is mixed rather than bad.

Refunds are tight: fees are non-refundable once the account has been used, with refunds only in exceptional circumstances. The statement name, NDAI.CHAT, is discreet, and subscribers are told in advance if the price rises, which I appreciate.

Who should skip it: anyone who mainly wants images of a stable character. My full SpicyChat review walks through each tier.

• Starting free: Free tier
• Lowest price: $5.00 monthly (Get a Taste)
• Allowed: mature chat permitted
• Runs on: web

The free start is one of the best in my top five: a permanent free plan with 50 messages a day, up to 400 characters each, 2 images a day and no ads. That's a real free AI boyfriend, not a demo.

If you pay, I'd pick the Standard Plan Yearly at $99.99, about $8.33 per month, compared with $15.99 on monthly billing. It adds unlimited messaging, voice calls, up to 10 active Nomis and group chats. But stay free until the 50-message cap pinches.

The catch is images and calls. Reportedly, pictures come only from a ready-made gallery and you can't write your own prompt, so seeing him exactly as you imagine is hard. Voice calls reportedly lag 15-20 seconds. All payments are nonrefundable, and NOMI.AI is plain to read on a statement.

Who should skip it: anyone whose top priority is pictures. To see how Nomi AI does in other categories, my full rankings are the quickest map.

• Starting free: Free tier, 50 free messages daily
• Lowest price: $8.33 monthly (Standard Plan Yearly)
• Allowed: mature chat permitted
• Runs on: web, ios, android

The free start is the weak part. A check dated 2026-09-22 found the free account stops at 3-5 messages plus 3-5 images, and no video. That's a peek, not a trial, and adult content is on paid plans only.

What I like is the long-term price. For €13.99, the 1-Month Plan covers unlimited texting plus 100 tokens each month. Spread over three months, the cost falls to €8.99 monthly, and the 12-Month Plan comes to €3.99 monthly, billed €47.88 upfront. My pick is one month first, then the year if he's still your type.

Non-EU/UK users get only 24 hours after paying to ask for a refund, so don't buy the year on a whim.

The catch is memory. Other reviewers report that character consistency holds for roughly 10-20 messages and can drop details in longer chats. For a partner who's meant to know you, that's a real gap. About 1 in 8 image generations reportedly come back with visible errors, with no free retry.

Who should skip it: anyone who wants a real free trial. For a wider look at content policies, my NSFW AI chat rankings compare them.

• Starting free: Free tier
• Lowest price: €3.99 monthly (12-Month Plan)
• Allowed: mature chat, paid plans
• Runs on: web

The free start is honest but small. Sign-up and browsing are free, you get 55 Dreamcoins, and chat costs 1 Dreamcoin per message, so 55 messages to decide. Other reviewers report the free tier is much thinner in a 2026 retest than it was before.

The plan I'd buy is Standard Monthly at $19.99 for the first month: unlimited messages, image and video generation and 1,000 dreamcoins a month. If he's a keeper, Standard Annual at $119.88 works out to $9.99 a month. Deluxe adds 100 minutes of voice calls and 3x chat memory, but I'd only go there if calls are the whole point.

The catch is coins. Voice calls are described as draining them fast, and video as short and coin-hungry. I do like the 14-day Quality Guarantee: you can contact support within 14 days of purchase, and they decide case by case.

Who should skip it: anyone who won't pay at all. To compare it with another builder, read my Candy AI review.

• Starting free: Free tier
• Lowest price: $9.99 monthly (Standard Annual)
• Allowed: mature chat permitted
• Runs on: web

The free start leans on character creation, not chat. Free character creation is there to start, you get 6 lifetime image generations stored for 7 days, and the free account shows 10 Neurons. No free-chat message cap is published.

The catch is that free chat is described as stiff and forgetful, while paid chat is warmer and holds context across a session.

So the plan to buy is Premium at $13.99 a month. It brings better chat models, improved memory, one free custom-character creation and about 50 free image generations a month. I like the single clear price. I don't like the refund rule: subscriptions are generally non-refundable once activated, and partial periods aren't refunded.

The other catch is images. A face may not stay on-model, and you pay Neurons even when a generation fails. The name on your statement is joi.com, which is fairly discreet.

Who should skip it: anyone who wants to judge the chat for free, since the free version undersells it. If you're weighing girlfriend-first apps too, my AI girlfriend rankings cover them.

• Starting free: Free tier
• Lowest price: $13.99 monthly (Premium - Monthly)
• Allowed: mature chat permitted
• Runs on: web

Second, coins sit on top of several plans. OurDream AI's Standard includes 1,000 dreamcoins a month, Candy AI's 1-Month Plan comes with 100 tokens, and Uncensy's Spark includes 50 diamonds. If you want pictures and calls with your companion, those balances are the real budget. My smart first buy, if text is enough, is SpicyChat's Get a Taste at $5.95.

On Uncensy, Spark at $7.99 lists NSFW alongside images, video and voice, which makes it the lowest monthly price here for an NSFW AI boyfriend bundle with pictures.

OurDream AI, Joi AI, Nomi AI, SpicyChat, Secrets AI, Kindroid and Soulkyn allow adult content without tying it to one plan. EVA AI Soulmate has a softer policy, and its terms say reading a "romantic message" costs 2 Neurons, so some replies are paywalled even in chat. I find that a mean design.

Allowed doesn't mean free. OurDream AI's free start is 55 Dreamcoins at 1 per message. Secrets AI gives 20 messages a day, 200 free Moments and one free custom companion. Kindroid's free plan has unlimited messages on its base model, but only 1 selfie credit every 2 hours. SpicyChat's free text is unlimited, and pictures start at $19.95.

My take: for free chat at an open content level, SpicyChat or Kindroid. For the cheapest monthly bundle with pictures, Uncensy's Spark. For the best long-term price on a companion you design, Candy AI's yearly plan, once you're sure.

If you only want text, CrushOn AI is another app worth comparing, and my CrushOn AI review explains its plans.

The apps side by side below show which of the ten have memory, voice calls, images and custom characters, and on which plan.

Candy AI is the pick if the price over a year matters most. Paying yearly brings it down to €3.99 a month, so over time it's far cheaper. But the free peek is tiny, adult content is paid only, and non-EU/UK refunds close after 24 hours.

If you'd rather not pay either one yet, my ranking of free AI chat apps is a better starting point.

• The statement name: OurDream AI bills as DREAM STUDIO LLC AL, Candy AI as EverAI, Joi AI as joi.com, Nomi AI as NOMI.AI, SpicyChat as NDAI.CHAT, Secrets AI as S LABS INC. and Kindroid as KINDROID.
• The refund rule: Candy AI gives non-EU/UK users 24 hours, Nomi AI says all payments are nonrefundable, and Joi AI subscriptions are generally non-refundable once activated.
• The cancel path: OurDream AI cancels from your profile, Candy AI under Settings / Unsubscribe, and SpicyChat sends you from Profile > Manage Subscription to the payment platform.
• What you type: keep real names and identifying details out of your chats, on any app.

Of those names, I like NDAI.CHAT and S LABS INC. best for discretion, since neither spells out a companion app. Secrets AI also stands out: reviews score its privacy and discretion well, and it offers anonymous sign-up and crypto payment. I like that a lot.

The compact facts behind this list don't cover each app's chat training and retention rules, so I won't guess at them. For one app I've gone deeper: my OurDream AI review covers how its privacy policy treats the things you type.

My rule for everyone: pay by a method you're comfortable seeing on a statement, and cancel through the app's own path rather than letting a renewal slide.
