AI companion app pricing tracker

Published AI companion app prices, October 26, 2026

Monthly equivalents of annual plans are our division of the published annual price by 12. "App Store" means the US Apple App Store in-app purchase list, used where the app does not publish prices on its own site; Replika's listing does not say which price belongs to which tier. Character AI filed for Chapter 11 on October 12, 2026 and says service continues during its sale process.

What the October 2026 prices show

• The price band is narrow. Main monthly plans run from $9.99 (c.ai+) to $15.99 (Nomi Standard and Kindroid Standard), with Candy AI at $13.99 and Replika's top App Store monthly price at $14.99.
• Annual plans carry the heaviest discounts. Candy AI's annual plan works out to $3.99 a month, 71% below its $13.99 monthly price.
• Everyone sells a second currency. Tokens, Charms, gems and credits pay for images, video, voice and extras on top of the subscription.
• Only one app runs ads. Character AI shows ads to free and lite users; Nomi says it has no plans for ads.
• Few apps publish prices on the web. Replika, Nomi and Kindroid show prices only in the app or at checkout.
• Adult content splits the market. Only Candy AI sells 18+ images and video; the others restrict nudity or pornography, mostly for app store and card network reasons.

What this means if you run a companion site

A new site does not need to undercut these apps on the subscription. It needs a clear first-payment offer near the $9.99 to $15.99 band, a token store for media, and an audience the big apps underserve. WhiteLabelFans partner sites launch with memberships, tokens, tips and unlocks already priced, and partners keep up to 60% of total site revenue. See how partner earnings work.

If you sell on a creator platform instead

Apps set their own prices; creators who sell an AI persona on a fan platform pay a fee on every payment instead. OnlyFans' terms set its fee at 20% of each fan payment, and Fanvue's creator earnings policy sets a standard creator earning rate of 80% of gross. On a $19 monthly subscription, that 20% is $3.80 a month, every month. Both platforms also require AI content to be labeled: OnlyFans asks for a caption such as #ai or #AIGenerated, and Fanvue requires a clear disclosure such as a watermark, caption or bio statement. Compare the take-home across platforms, app stores and processors with the AI fan site revenue calculator.

How we track prices

We record each app's prices from its own pricing, help and terms pages first, and from its US App Store listing when the app does not publish prices itself. We do not use third-party review sites. Prices are in US dollars, exclude tax and can vary by country and platform. We re-check every app at least once a month and update the date above; to cite this page, link to it with the date shown.
