Paid plans start at $4.99 a month (Character AI lite) and $5.95 (SpicyChat), the common band is $9.99 to $19.99, and top tiers reach $199.99 a month (CrushOn AI Imperial) and $200 (Grok Ultra). Most apps also sell credits, tokens or gems.

What the directory shows

  • Entry prices cluster under $10. Character AI lite ($4.99), SpicyChat Get a Taste ($5.95) and CrushOn AI Standard ($5.99) are the cheapest monthly plans we could verify.
  • The top of the ladder is where the money is. CrushOn AI runs six tiers up to $199.99 a month, and Kindroid's Standard plus add-ons reach $113.97 a month at App Store prices.
  • Memory is the main upsell. SpicyChat sells "2x" and "8x" more memory, Joyland moves from in-conversation to long-term memory, and Kindroid's add-ons buy longer context.
  • Many apps hide prices. Replika, Nomi, Kindroid, Chai, Talkie and Tolan show prices only in the app or the App Store; several adult-oriented sites put pricing behind an age gate, which we do not click through.
  • Content rules split the market. Character AI and Talkie ban pornographic content, while Candy AI allows 18+ images and CrushOn AI markets no-filter chat to adults.

Pricing, alternatives and build guides by app

Head-to-head comparisons

Head-to-head comparisons are also listed on each alternatives page. For a month-by-month view of the five biggest apps, see the AI companion app pricing tracker.

How this directory is built

We record each field from the app's own pricing, help, terms or homepage first, and from its US App Store listing when the app does not publish prices itself. Each field keeps its source URL and check date in our dataset. Where a site shows an age gate, we skip it rather than click through, and say so. 9 apps have pricing and policy fully checked; the rest are partly checked or queued and are filled in as we verify them.

Why operators use this table

If you plan to launch a companion brand, these are the prices your visitors already know. WhiteLabelFans partner sites launch with memberships, tokens, tips and unlocks already priced, under your own brand, and partners keep up to 60% of total site revenue. See what the platform includes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest AI companion app?

Of the apps with verified prices in October 2026, Character AI lite is the cheapest paid plan at $4.99 a month, followed by SpicyChat Get a Taste at $5.95 and CrushOn AI Standard at $5.99. Character AI, SpicyChat and CrushOn AI also have free plans.

Which AI companion apps publish their prices?

Candy AI, Character AI, SpicyChat, CrushOn AI, Joyland, Chub AI and Grok show prices on their websites. Replika, Nomi, Kindroid, EVA AI and Tolan list them through the App Store, and several others show prices only after sign-in.

How often is the directory updated?

Prices are re-checked at least monthly and the check date is shown for every app. Queued apps are added as their pricing and policy pages are verified.

Why do some apps say not published?

Because we only use the app's own pages or its App Store listing. If an app hides a figure behind a login or an age gate, we show it as not published instead of guessing.
