Higher score: Candy AI
Quick Verdict
A close call. Candy AI edges it on billing clarity and the lowest yearly price (€3.99 a month), with male companions and voice calls (beta). GoLove AI publishes what its Stars buy (about 50 images or 10 videos a month on Pro), sells Star packs at public prices and has the broader video toolset.
Table of Contents
Candy AI and GoLove AI are the two cheapest full-featured AI girlfriend plans we have checked on annual billing. Both are browser apps with realistic and anime companions, unlimited chat on paid plans, voice and calls, and a monthly currency for media: tokens on Candy AI, Stars on GoLove AI. Both refund within 24 hours under similar conditions. The differences are in what each publishes before you pay, and in who you can chat with.
Every price and feature below comes from each app's own pricing pages, terms and help pages, as checked for our full reviews on 20 October 2026. Scores are our v3 scores. This page is not a hands-on test: there are no chat logs or quality grades, only what each company publishes.

Both annual plans are the ones to buy. Candy AI's is €1.92 a year cheaper; GoLove's tells you up front what its allowance buys, and its Star packs are priced publicly if you outgrow it.
Images, Video & Calls
Candy AI charges every media action in tokens: images, image-to-video clips, voice messages, Voice Calls (beta) and live features such as Candy Roulette at 5 tokens a minute. The price of an image or a video is only visible after sign-up.
GoLove AI translates its Stars on the plan card: a baseline image costs one Star and a video five. Its generator lists video presets, custom prompts, clip extension, image-to-video and multi-scene clips at 480p, 720p or 1080p; higher settings cost more, at rates behind the login. Calls are charged in Stars per minute.
Edge: GoLove AI for video and for knowing what your allowance buys. Candy AI for unlimited text chat at the lowest yearly price.
Refunds, Billing & Things to Know
- Candy AI: cancel in settings; 24-hour refund for card payments with no more than 20 tokens used; EU/UK 14-day withdrawal on the first purchase. Chats may go to third-party LLM providers. Trustpilot removed its profile.
- GoLove AI: cancel in settings; 24-hour refund for card payments with no more than 20 credits used; unused Stars expire when a cancelled plan ends. The homepage promises unlimited free chat and end-to-end encryption that the plan table and privacy policy don't back. Trustpilot showed 4.2 out of 5 from 25 reviews.
- Both lose a point in our scores for adult role-play tropes in their own tools (Candy AI: "School Mate", "Step Daughter"; GoLove AI: a "Teen" 18–19 tag, "Schoolgirl" and step-family roles).
