The hardest part of pricing an AI girlfriend app isn't the subscription — it's everything stacked on top of it. Several of the most popular apps quote a low monthly figure, then meter images, voice, and calls through tokens or coins, so the price you see is rarely the price you pay. This guide lists the verified 2026 subscription price and free-tier reality for every major AI girlfriend app, and flags exactly where the extra costs hide. Every price is checked against the US App Store or the app's own checkout.

Cheapest AI girlfriend apps

The lowest credible monthly price among uncensored apps is CrushOn AI at $5.99/mo, the best value if conversation matters more to you than polished visuals. Nastia AI raised its prices in 2026 to $11.99/mo, but on annual billing it works out to about $7.33/mo. AIGirlfriends.ai bundles unlimited chat and images, but its $12.99 is a first-month price: it renews at $40.00/mo, and the annual plan is $71.88 for the first year, then $240.00/yr. For the full breakdown, see our cheapest AI girlfriend apps guide.

Best free tiers

Most "free" tiers are really demos, but a few are genuinely usable:

  • Character AI — the most generous free messaging in the category, though fully filtered (no NSFW).
  • CrushOn AI — 100 messages a month with the filter off and no credit card required.
  • Nastia AI — one girlfriend and a small token allowance before you pay, fully uncensored. See the detail in our Nastia AI free tier guide.

By contrast, Candy.ai and most token-based apps offer a free tier that's closer to a preview — you can't really evaluate them without paying. Our best free AI girlfriend apps guide ranks the ones worth starting on.

Watch out: token and coin economies

This is where the real cost lives. Several apps quote an attractive subscription but meter the features people actually use:

  • Candy.ai, DreamGF, FantasyGF — images, video, and calls draw from a token allowance; heavy users routinely pay well past the headline price. See the DreamGF pricing breakdown for how its 150-token allowance plays out in practice.
  • SoulFun AI — a coin economy sits on top of the $19.99 subscription, and voice calls and premium photos burn through your monthly coins fast.
  • Kupid AI — Pro caps memory at 48 hours; long-term recall requires the $24.99/week Ultra tier.
  • Muah.ai — real-time phone calls are locked to the $99.99/mo ULTRA VIP tier, among the priciest in the category.

If you'd rather pay once and forget the meter, the flat-rate options are Kindroid ($15.99/mo) and Nomi.ai ($15.99/mo) — no tokens, no coins, no per-action charges.

Bottom line

For the lowest entry price, start with CrushOn AI or Nastia AI. For predictable costs with no metering, Kindroid and Nomi.ai are the safest bets. And before you commit to any token- or coin-based app, assume the real monthly cost is meaningfully higher than the sticker. For our overall rankings, see the best AI girlfriend apps guide.
