Quick comparison
The table shows what each free plan included on the date in its last column. Apps with a final score of 7.0 or more come first, then the rest alphabetically.
| App | Score | Free messages | Free images | Card at sign-up | Trial | Checked | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. GirlfriendGPT | 8.5/10 | 10 replies, then a limit at message 11 | 30 free coins, enough for two images | No | Mentioned in its FAQ, no terms | 10/17/2026 | |
| 2. Lovescape | 7.6/10 | Not published | “Some generation,” no number | No, per its sign-up form | None listed | 10/17/2026 | |
| 3. Secrets AI | 7.5/10 | 20 a day (wiki) | None | Not checked yet (needs a test account), as of 10/14/2026 | None listed | 10/14/2026 | |
| 4. Nectar AI | 7.2/10 | 15 replies, then a limit at message 17 | 10 a day per its plan data, none in my test | No | None listed | 10/16/2026 | |

Cancel steps, statement names, and data rules sit in the fine-print table for all apps.
How we ranked these apps
The score is the same one we use everywhere, and its second part is price and free plan. That part covers the checkout total, the renewal price, token prices, and what the free account allows. The rules are in our scoring and ranking rules.
Most free plans here come from the apps’ own pages, because several tests stopped at an email code or a sign-in wall. Apps with a score of 7.0 or more come first, in the order of their scores, and the rest follow alphabetically. Whether a company pays us a commission or nothing at all doesn’t move a single row.
1. GirlfriendGPT
GirlfriendGPT’s free account gives you messages and a few coins. On 10/17/2026, it answered 10 messages, and message 11 brought a “You ran out of messages” window. The account started with 30 coins, which covered two images in its picture tool, with “Safe Mode” on by default.
Sign-up took an email code, with no card and no password, and a box to tick confirming you’re 18 or older. Its FAQ mentions a trial but doesn’t say what it includes or whether it needs a card. Chat settings such as reply length sit behind a subscription.
2. Lovescape
Lovescape says you can sign up free, create characters, and try basic chat and some generation, but it publishes no free limits. That makes it the hardest free plan here to size up before you sign up.
Images cost chips, and only paying subscribers can buy chips, so free generation is whatever the free account includes. Sign-up asks for an email and a code, with no card, per its form on 10/17/2026.
3. Secrets AI
Secrets AI’s free plan is chat only: 20 messages a day, per its wiki, and no “Moments,” the currency for images, video, and calls. Free accounts can’t buy Moments either.
Its store FAQ says you need only an email address to sign up. Whether that sign-up skips the card is still unchecked in a test account, as of 10/14/2026.
4. Nectar AI
Nectar AI’s free plan includes voice. On 10/16/2026, my free account got 15 replies, and message 17 brought a “Message Limit Reached” window with the plans. The character also sent short voice messages on the free plan.
Sign-up took an email code, with no password and no card. Its plan data lists 10 image generations a day on the free plan, but my request for a picture came after the message limit, so I didn’t get one.
5. Swipey AI
Swipey AI gives new accounts a currency instead of a message count. My free account got 20 “Hearts” after an email code, with no card, and each message cost 2. Message 11 brought a window headed “Unlock Unlimited Chat Messages” on 10/17/2026.
Its character passed my memory test, recalling my name and city at message 5, but the Hearts ran out before I could try images. More is in everything we found on Swipey AI.
Apps we left out (and why)
Apps with only a paid plan and no free account don’t belong on this page. A few apps are left out for good on the apps we don’t recommend, and apps without a partner program aren’t covered.
How to choose a free AI girlfriend app
Choose by what you want to try for free, then check how the limit is counted. An allowance that renews each day suits short daily chats, and a one-time allowance suits a single test of the app.
- Count the unit: total messages, messages a day, or a currency such as Hearts or Neurons.
- Check whether sign-up asks for a card. In the three apps where I opened a free account, none did.
- If you want to try before you sign up at all, see AI girlfriend apps with no sign-up.
- If an app promises “unlimited” chat, read what “no limits” means in practice.
What we checked
- Free accounts: Nectar AI (10/16/2026), GirlfriendGPT and Swipey AI (10/17/2026), messages counted to the limit.
- Plan pages, Terms, help centers, and wikis of all five read 10/14/2026 to 10/17/2026.
- Not checked: the free chat at Lovescape and Secrets AI in a test account.
FAQ
Is there a 100% free AI girlfriend app?
Not among the five I checked: every free plan stops somewhere. Nectar AI gave the most in a test account, 15 replies before a limit on 10/16/2026, and GirlfriendGPT and Swipey AI gave 10. They cap messages, images, or both, and video is paid everywhere I looked. Nectar AI is the one that sent short voice messages on its free plan.
Is a free trial the same as a free plan?
No. A free plan is a permanent account with limits, and you can keep it without paying. A free trial gives paid features for a set time and may ask for a card, and none of the five listed a public free trial with terms on 10/14/2026. GirlfriendGPT’s FAQ mentions a trial without saying what it includes.
How many free messages do you get?
From 10 to 20, depending on the app. GirlfriendGPT’s and Swipey AI’s free accounts answered 10 before a limit on 10/17/2026, and Nectar AI’s answered 15 on 10/16/2026. Secrets AI’s wiki lists 20 a day. Lovescape doesn’t publish a free message count.
Can you call an AI girlfriend for free?
Not that I could confirm. GirlfriendGPT keeps voice for its Deluxe and Elite plans, and Secrets AI’s free accounts get no Moments, the currency its calls cost. Nectar AI’s character did send short voice messages on the free plan on 10/16/2026, but those aren’t calls.
Are there free AI girlfriend apps for iPhone and Android?
Not as store apps from these companies, as of 10/16/2026. None of the five had its own app in the US App Store or Google Play. Their free plans work in your phone’s browser instead, and every free account I opened started on the website.
What does an AI girlfriend cost after the free plan?
From a US connection on 10/15/2026, Swipey AI’s pricing page showed $7.99/mo, which is its 12-month plan billed $95.99 up front. That’s the one US price I could document. In sessions from Tanzania, GirlfriendGPT’s Premium cost $15/mo and Nectar AI’s $9.99/mo on monthly billing, with lower monthly rates on their yearly plans. Prices checked 10/15/2026 on Swipey AI’s site, plus tax where applicable.
