What our research says

Candy.ai

One of the larger adult companion apps and it does what it advertises, but the headline subscription is not what anyone actually pays — tokens are where the money goes. Only list it if your catalogue is willing to carry NSFW entries.

Pros

  • Character setup covers look, personality and voice in a single flow
  • Subscription includes unlimited text chat instead of metering every message
  • A named legal entity, EverAI Limited in Malta, stands behind billing and support

Cons

  • Token top-ups dominate real spend as soon as you generate images or take calls regularly
  • No pricing is visible until you create an account
  • No API, no export, and everything you create stays locked inside the platform

Ruby Chat

Ruby Chat is a mainstream-feeling companion app — free to chat with an optional premium tier, on both app stores rather than web-only — but it's rated 18+ and its own FAQ leans into 'AI girlfriend' framing rather than a general companion pitch. The premium price itself couldn't be confirmed since the pricing page errored during research, so budget-conscious users should check the in-app price before assuming a figure.

Pros

  • Free to chat with no paywall on basic conversation
  • Available on iOS, Android, and web rather than a single platform
  • Supports custom scenarios and persona creation, not just preset characters
  • Backed by an identifiable developer, Coastal Alps LLC, distributed through the MWM app network

Cons

  • Premium subscription price could not be confirmed — the site's own pricing page returned a server error during research
  • Rated 18+, which limits where this can be recommended
  • Headquarters country of the developer isn't disclosed
