AI companion alternatives
Leaving an AI companion or AI girlfriend app? For each of the 19 apps we test, and for well-known ones we have not, we name the tested apps that do better where it falls short, scored on the same nine criteria.
Which app are you leaving?
One page per app, built from its review: the tested apps that do better where it falls short. The app we suggest most often instead: GPTGirlfriend, on 12 of 20 pages.

Chosen for the weakness you are leaving
- Each page starts from a full review: the scores of the app you use show where it falls short, and the alternatives are the tested apps that score higher there.
- Only apps we have tested on a real account, with the same protocol and the same nine weighted criteria. How we test.
- Each page also says when to stay: an alternative is better on some criteria, rarely on all of them.
- Affiliate links fund the site; they never decide which app is suggested, nor in what order. How that works.
Switching AI companion apps
What is the best alternative to my AI companion app?
It depends on why you are leaving. If one thing bothers you, such as the price, the credits or privacy, the table above shows which tested apps score highest on that criterion. If you want a better app overall, the rankings order all 19 apps by their weighted score. Each alternatives page does both for one app.
Is there a free alternative?
Most apps have a free tier, but it ranges from a handful of messages in total to an allowance that refills every day. “Free tier” is one of our nine criteria, so the table above shows the most generous ones. Free AI girlfriend apps compares what each free tier really gives.
Should I cancel my current app before switching?
Cancel where you paid and keep the confirmation, or the next renewal will be charged. Cancelling stops the next charge but does not delete your account or your chats: that is a separate request. How to cancel and who can read what you type explain both.
Why is the app I use not listed?
We only suggest apps we have tested on a real account, and we write an alternatives page for each of them. For a few well-known apps we have not tested, such as Character.AI, we compare them with the ones we have. Other apps are added as we test them.
Are these apps for adults only?
Most of them, yes: almost every app we test requires users to be 18 or older, and several are explicitly built for adults. Each review states the app’s minimum age and whether, and how, it checks it.
