Best AI Boyfriend Apps

Nomi is our top pick for most people looking for an AI boyfriend, because its long-term memory is the feature it is best known for and you can start free without a credit card. Candy AI suits you if you want a dedicated boyfriend section with images. Secrets AI stands out for discreet billing, OurDream AI for chat, images and video in one place, Promptchan for chat paired with image generation, and CrushOn AI for roleplay variety.

Every app here is for adults 18+ and involves fictional characters only. Free tiers exist, but they work as samplers, so the price of the paid plan decides which companion you keep.

Quick picks:

• Best budget paid plan: CrushOn AI, from $4.90/month billed yearly.
• Best for discreet billing: Secrets AI, charged as S LABS INC.
• Best all-in-one: OurDream AI, with chat, images, video and voice calls.

Quick Picks

Nomi and CrushOn AI lead on memory and roleplay respectively, while Candy AI and Promptchan lean toward visuals.

If you are also open to female companions, our best AI girlfriend roundup covers that side.

Ranked by Our Scores

A live ranking of the apps in this guide that we have published reviews for. Scores are relative to the best tool in each category; see how we score.

Promptchan

Image generation comes first at Promptchan, with companion chat built alongside it. Its Discover section includes male and female companions in realistic and anime styles, so you can chat with a boyfriend character and create images in the same place.

Gems are the credit currency, and every plan runs on web, iOS and Android.

Pricing:

• Free: daily free Gems
• Plus: $14.99/month
• Premium: $23.99/month
• Pro: $33.99/month, with video and voice calls

Downside: voice calls and AI video are limited to Pro, the most expensive plan, which makes a full AI boyfriend experience costly here.

Worth it if:

• Creating images matters as much as chatting.

Skip if:

• You mainly want deep conversation and memory.

CrushOn AI

Roleplay variety is where CrushOn AI leads. Its library offers a Male filter plus Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual tags, and boyfriend characters span genres like fantasy, supernatural and enemies-to-lovers arcs. You can also build custom characters and save favorite chats as memories.

Gay and bi readers comparing options can also see our gay AI chat guide.

Pricing: the free plan includes 100 message credits a month. Standard starts at $4.90/month billed yearly.

Downside: on the free plan, memory is deleted after 7 days of inactivity, so an occasional user loses story context.

Worth it if:

• You want many storylines and character types.
• You want the cheapest entry to a paid plan.

Skip if:

• You chat irregularly on the free tier.

OurDream AI

For chat, images, video and voice calls under one account, OurDream AI covers the most ground. Male and female companions are available, and memory carries across chats through an automatic memory log, pinned memories you write yourself, custom instructions and a persona.

The company says chats are encrypted, and sign-up requires confirming you are over 18.

Pricing: sign-up is free with limits shown in the app. Premium costs $19.99 monthly or $9.99/month billed yearly ($119.88 up front), with 1,000 DreamCoins a month.

Downside: OurDream’s own guide calls memory “guidance, not a database,” so long roleplays can drift unless you maintain pinned memories.

Worth it if:

• You want one subscription for every media type.

Skip if:

• You dislike managing memory settings by hand.

Secrets AI

Privacy-minded users get the clearest billing story from Secrets AI: every charge shows as S LABS INC, with no mention of the service. You can choose Male, Female or Both characters when browsing, which makes filtering for boyfriend companions simple.

Paid tiers expand memory, and audio calls are listed across tiers. Moments are the credit that pays for images, video and other extras.

Pricing: the free tier allows 20 messages a day. Premium costs $19.99 monthly or $109.99 yearly and includes 8,000 Moments a month. A higher Ultimate tier at $39.99 monthly adds proactive messaging, group chats and the strongest memory.

Downside: free users cannot buy Moments, so image generation and custom characters require a subscription.

Worth it if:

• Discreet billing is a priority.

Skip if:

• You want visuals without paying.

Candy AI

A dedicated AI Boyfriend section, labeled “Guys,” sets Candy AI apart from apps that treat male characters as an afterthought. It sits alongside girlfriend and anime categories, and prebuilt characters range from a surfer to a pilot to a violinist. You can also design your own boyfriend with the character builder.

Chats can include requested selfies, voice messages and video.

Pricing: free accounts get 5 messages, one custom character and one image. Premium costs $13.99 monthly, $8.99/month billed quarterly, or $3.99/month billed yearly. It includes unlimited text chat plus 100 tokens a month for images, voice and video. Charges appear as EverAI.

Downside: Candy has no native app, so you use the browser or add it to your home screen, and heavy image or voice use drains tokens fast.

Worth it if:

• You want a large boyfriend catalog with visuals.

Skip if:

• You need a native mobile app.

Is There a Free AI Boyfriend App?

Yes, you can start an AI boyfriend for free on every app here, but each free tier is a limited trial. Nomi lets you begin with no credit card and includes daily messages and images. Secrets AI gives 20 messages a day, CrushOn AI gives 100 message credits a month, and Promptchan hands out daily Gems.

Candy AI’s free account is the tightest at 5 messages, one custom character and one image. OurDream AI allows free sign-up with limits shown in the app.

Expect voice calls, video and unlimited chat to require payment almost everywhere. A free AI boyfriend works well for judging personality and tone before you commit money.

What to Check Before You Pay

Every app here is a chatbot running on a large language model, so the real differences come from memory, character setup and the media on top. Match the plan to how you will use it, since each app meters something different.

• Memory: check how much context the plan keeps. Secrets AI and CrushOn AI expand memory on higher tiers.
• Voice: voice calls sit on top tiers at Promptchan (Pro) and require a subscription at Nomi.
• Images and video: Candy AI’s 100 monthly tokens, Secrets AI’s Moments and OurDream AI’s DreamCoins all run out with heavy media use.
• Credit costs: a cheap subscription with few credits can cost more than a pricier plan if you generate images often.
• Privacy and billing: Candy AI bills as EverAI and Secrets AI as S LABS INC. Avoid storing passwords or payment details in character memory.
• Cancelling: yearly plans charge the full amount up front, as OurDream AI’s $119.88 annual charge shows.

Our Rules and Bottom Line

We cover fictional adult characters only. We never include minor-coded characters or high-school settings; college roleplay between adult characters is fine. We do not cover real-person likenesses, face-swap tools or deepfakes, and we don’t list apps that offer them.

Our comparison relies on each company’s published features and prices, not hands-on testing. We may earn a commission, and that never changes our criticism.

For most readers, Nomi is the strongest AI boyfriend app for memory and a no-card start. Choose Candy AI or Promptchan if images matter, Secrets AI for discreet billing, OurDream AI for one account covering every media type, and CrushOn AI if roleplay variety on a small budget comes first.
