GirlfriendGPT review: the community platform whose free tier isn't one

tested 2026-07-07

We read GirlfriendGPT's own terms line by line: the 'free plan' is 10–20 messages in total, subscriptions are metered at 5,000–20,000 credits a month, and the default refund policy is none. Published pricing, named operator, dated receipts.

DreamGF review: read the renewal price before the intro price

tested 2026-07-07

Every advertised price is a first payment — monthly renews at double. We receipt-checked both pricing surfaces (which contradict each other), the use-anything-voids-refunds policy, and the $1.99/mo 'maintenance charge' their membership policy reserves against ex-subscribers.

Candy AI review: the vertical's biggest brand, receipt-checked

tested 2026-07-06

We opened every public surface of candy.ai and read the terms line by line: real US pricing (no hidden renewal hike — rare here), the 24-hour refund window, token forfeiture on cancel, and the Live Action beta that clones CamSoda's signature feature.

Latest industry changes

2026-10-03 Kupid AI — Kupid AI no longer sells a monthly plan: Pro is $12.99 a week or $179 a year, Ultra $24.99 a week or $299 a year, and Lifetime $777 once. Our July record had $12, $29 and $49 a month. First seen on this date; the change happened some time after July 2.

2026-10-03 Kupid AI — Kupid AI's terms of service (revision date 10/08/2026) no longer mention the $3.99 a month data-retention fee we recorded in July. The line '$3.99/month to keep your data' is still in the site's text for its cancel screens, which sit behind login.

2026-10-03 HeraHaven — Pricing verified at the source: HeraHaven Pro $19.95 a month or $79.80 a year, unchanged since July. The prices are not on any public page; they were read from the price list in the site's own code.

2026-10-03 DreamGF — DreamGF's membership policy has gained a clause since our July capture: accepting the special offer '+100 instant tokens and +100 tokens every month' means 'you will not be able to cancel your membership for the next 30 days'. The policy's effective date still reads 1 June 2023. Prices, the renewal at $25.99 a month and the $1.99 Maintenance Charge clause are unchanged.

2026-10-03 DarLink — Pricing verified at the source: Essential $12.99, Advanced $27.99 and Ultimate $49.99 a month; yearly plans are one payment of $119.88, $227.88 or $395.88, a charge the plan page itself never shows.

2026-10-03 Roger (ChatRoger) — Pricing verified at the source: Premium $14.99 a month or $89.99 a year, each with 1,000 credits a month.

2026-10-02 Candy AI — Monthly plan now has an intro price: 'First month billed as $9.99', then 'renews monthly at $13.99', with 'Then $13.99/month' printed on the plan card. It still read $13.99 from the first month on 09-27. Yearly ($47.88) and 3-month ($26.97) unchanged and still renew at the same price and term.

The graveyard

Where AI girlfriends go to rest — every notable companion death since 1966, with dates, causes, and how much notice users got (the industry record is 40 days; the mode is a week or less). Shutdowns, lobotomies, disappearances — recorded as they happen, because the churn is half the story.

Why this site exists

The AI girlfriend/companion space is covered almost entirely by affiliate listicles whose rankings are quietly sold. We built the thing we wanted instead: a database of the industry, re-tested on a schedule, where reviews are a byproduct of the data — named for ELIZA (1966), the first chatbot people caught feelings for.
