AI Girlfriend Apps Reviewed
Companion chat apps that pair a persistent character with generated pictures — compared on chat, photo features, pricing and what they keep. This site runs no chatbot and stores no conversations. Adults 18+ only.
An AI girlfriend app is a companion chatbot with a persistent character, memory across sessions and, in most cases, a picture generator for that character. The questions that matter are the same as for any service that reads intimate conversations: what is stored, for how long, who operates it, what it costs after the trial and whether pictures of real people are blocked. As of September 3, 2026, both services in the pool carry a published editor score from the general review protocol — Dreemy AI 8.1/10 and Joyfun AI 6.7/10 — while this hub compares only their safe-for-work companion side. Image-only tools are ranked at AI girl generators and NSFW AI image generators; the Clothoff AI home page lists every hub.

How Are AI Girlfriend Apps Compared?
Verdict (September 3, 2026): both apps in the pool carry a published editor score — Dreemy AI 8.1/10 (tested Aug 19, 2026) and Joyfun AI 6.7/10 (tested Aug 22, 2026) — from the general review protocol, not from a companion-only ranking. Dreemy AI is the most complete package — roleplay chat with more than 200,000 characters plus an image and video generator, trial without registration — but publishes no price table and only vague retention terms. Joyfun AI works without an account and adds short clips, yet names no operator and only a vague retention period. The scored findings are in the linked reviews.
A score is the weighted sum of five criteria from one fixed protocol: a hands-on chat and picture session on a fresh account, a documentation check of prices, retention and operator details, and a scoring pass from 0 to 10 per criterion.

Who It’s For and Who Should Skip It
A good fit: adults who want a persistent character that remembers context and can illustrate the conversation with pictures of that fictional character; readers comparing what a trial includes before paying — see AI girlfriend apps with a free tier and AI girlfriend chat with pictures.
Better to skip: anyone who needs written retention terms before sharing intimate messages — neither app provides them; anyone under 18; anyone intending to give the character a real person’s face, which the terms prohibit — see What is digital consent?. Picture-only needs are better served by AI girl generators.
Editorial Test Notes
Aug 19, 2026 — Dreemy AI hands-on session. Trial run without registration: character created, memory checked over two sessions, one picture and one clip generated for the same character. Prices seen only at checkout — one-time passes from $19.99 per 30 days; no public price table; retention terms vague; no operator information found on the site. Editor score 8.1/10 — full findings in the Dreemy AI review.
Aug 22, 2026 — Joyfun AI hands-on session. Face swaps and 10-second 1080p clips rendered on all 5 runs without an account or watermark; pricing marketed as unlimited with no table; no operator details published. Editor score 6.7/10 — full findings in the Joyfun AI review.
Sep 3, 2026 — regulatory check. FTC press release of September 11, 2025 on the 6(b) inquiry into companion chatbots reread; COPPA FAQ confirmed for the under-13 threshold; TAKE IT DOWN Act status confirmed as Public Law 119-12.
Is It Legal in the US?
Using a companion chatbot is lawful for adults in the United States. Two rules frame the category: the FTC’s 6(b) inquiry of September 11, 2025 into companion chatbots and their safeguards for minors under COPPA, and the TAKE IT DOWN Act (Public Law 119-12, May 19, 2025), which makes a non-consensual intimate depiction of an identifiable person a federal offense and applies to any picture the app generates.

What Readers Ask
What is an AI girlfriend app?
A companion chatbot with a persistent character, memory across sessions and usually a picture generator for that character. It differs from a plain image generator in that the conversation is the product, so privacy questions concern chat logs, not only images. Companion chat is covered in the linked blog guide.
Which AI girlfriend app scored highest?
Dreemy AI, with 8.1/10 (tested Aug 19, 2026) against 6.7/10 for Joyfun AI (tested Aug 22, 2026). Both scores come from the general review protocol — a hands-on session, a documentation check and a scoring pass on five weighted criteria — applied to the whole service, not to its companion-chat side alone; this hub publishes no separate companion ranking.
Do these apps keep my conversations?
Both apps publish vague retention terms, which is the main reason privacy is the weakest criterion in both scores. Dreemy AI names no storage period for chats or images, and Joyfun AI names no operator at all. Treat every message as stored until a provider states a deletion period in writing.
Can the app send pictures of a real person?
It must not. Both providers prohibit likenesses of real people without consent in their terms, and under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, in force since May 19, 2025, a non-consensual intimate depiction of an identifiable person is a federal offense. Digital consent is explained in the docs.
Is there a no-cost tier?
Dreemy AI offers a trial without registration before its passes from $19.99 per 30 days; Joyfun AI runs without an account and markets itself as unlimited at no cost, though it publishes no price table. What each trial includes and where it stops is compared in the blog post.
Are AI companion apps regulated in the US?
Partly. In September 2025 the FTC opened a 6(b) inquiry into companion chatbots, asking seven companies how they limit use by minors and comply with COPPA, which covers children under 13. No federal companion statute exists yet; state deepfake and privacy laws apply to the pictures.
