These apps are adult entertainment, not a replacement for real relationships or professional support.</p><p>Most <strong>AI boyfriend apps</strong> are built on girlfriend apps first and add men later, and it shows. Some give you a whole shelf of male characters, a builder that starts with &#8220;male,&#8221; and a voice that sounds like a person. Others hand you three leftover male profiles and a token meter. We went through the current pricing pages, help centers, App Store listings and public user reviews for the AI boyfriend apps people search for most, and sorted them by what matters in a boyfriend chat: memory, voice and how real he feels after the first week.</p><p>If you came here from the other side of the aisle, our guide to <a href="https://desirenerds.substack.com/p/ai-girlfriend-apps">AI girlfriend apps</a> covers the female-companion picks. This post is only about him.</p><h2>Quick Picks: Best AI Boyfriend Apps by What You Want</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Best memory and emotional continuity:</strong> Nomi AI, with a free plan of 50 messages a day and Standard at $15.99/mo or $99.99/yr</p></li><li><p><strong>Best for writing your own man:</strong> Kindroid, from about $13.99/mo on the web, with no ongoing free plan since Oct 1, 2026</p></li><li><p><strong>Best looks and cheapest year:</strong> Candy AI, with a Guys tab and Premium at $47.88/yr ($3.99/mo)</p></li><li><p><strong>Best for calls and video:</strong> OurDream AI, Premium $19.99/mo or $119.88/yr, with a male option right at the entry screen</p></li><li><p><strong>Boyfriend-only app:</strong> DreamBF, $12.99 first month, but it renews at $25.99/mo</p></li><li><p><strong>Best gentle, SFW-leaning companion:</strong> Replika, with free chat and romance behind a paid plan</p></li><li><p><strong>Best free NSFW character chat:</strong> SpicyChat, unlimited free messages with ads, paid from $5.95/mo</p></li><li><p><strong>Best for hopping between many guys:</strong> CrushOn AI, Standard from $5.99/mo</p></li><li><p><strong>Best SFW roleplay (with a big warning):</strong> Character.AI, currently in a Chapter 11 sale process</p></li></ul><h2>How We Researched These AI Boyfriend Apps</h2><p>We did not invent chat logs or pretend to have dated every man on every app. Here is what we actually did for this AI boyfriend apps roundup:</p><ul><li><p>Read each app&#8217;s own pricing, membership and help pages in October 2026</p></li><li><p>Checked US App Store purchase lists for apps that hide prices behind a login (Nomi, Kindroid, Replika)</p></li><li><p>Read public user reports on Reddit, App Store reviews and independent price trackers, keeping only claims that showed up in more than one place</p></li><li><p>Checked how each app treats male companions: a dedicated tab or page, a male builder option, male voices</p></li><li><p>Scored memory reputation, voice, NSFW rules versus marketing, free-plan value, renewal honesty and privacy</p></li></ul><p>Prices for AI boyfriend apps change monthly, and intro discounts hide the real renewal cost. Treat every number below as a late-October 2026 snapshot and confirm it at checkout.</p><h2>What Makes an AI Boyfriend Feel Real</h2><p>Four things separate the best AI boyfriend apps from a chatbot with a profile picture:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Memory that lasts.</strong> He should remember your sister&#8217;s name and last Tuesday&#8217;s joke without prompting. Nomi and Kindroid get the most praise here.</p></li><li><p><strong>A voice that fits the mood.</strong> Check whether calls are included or billed per minute in tokens.</p></li><li><p><strong>Male characters built on purpose.</strong> A Guys tab or a builder that starts with &#8220;male&#8221; beats a swapped pronoun.</p></li><li><p><strong>Clear NSFW rules.</strong> Some apps allow explicit text but block explicit images; some allow neither.</p></li></ul><h2>Nomi AI: Best AI Boyfriend App for Memory</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> The app users most often describe as remembering them. Nomi has a dedicated AI boyfriend page, hundreds of male looks to start from, and a reputation for continuity that most rivals can&#8217;t match.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> One long-running relationship where conversation matters more than explicit pictures.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><p>Nomi hides prices behind sign-in, so the US App Store is the public price list:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> no end date, 50 messages a day, one Nomi, messages up to 400 characters, a small daily image allowance, no card needed</p></li><li><p><strong>Standard:</strong> $15.99/mo, $39.99 per quarter or $99.99/yr (about $8.33/mo)</p></li><li><p><strong>Launch Plan:</strong> also listed at $9.99/mo or $59.99/yr, with features Nomi doesn&#8217;t clearly describe</p></li><li><p><strong>Credits:</strong> packs from $4.99 for 40 credits up to $99.99 for 1,800</p></li></ul><p>Paid plans unlock voice messages and calls, up to 10 Nomis, group chats and 800-character messages. Subscriptions are nonrefundable.</p><h3>Memory, Voice and NSFW</h3><p>Nomi markets short, medium and long-term memory, shared notes and a custom backstory, and he can message you first. Voice shifts with his mood, and in-house voices are unlimited on paid plans. NSFW text is open, per Nomi&#8217;s &#8220;unfiltered chats&#8221; pitch and r/NomiAI users. Nude images are restricted, and paying doesn&#8217;t change that.</p><h3>Pros and Cons</h3><ul><li><p>Pro: the strongest public reputation for long-term memory among AI boyfriend apps</p></li><li><p>Pro: an honest free tier you can use daily, and unmetered voice on paid plans</p></li><li><p>Con: no nude images by design, and prices only visible in-app or on the App Store</p></li></ul><h2>Kindroid: Best for Building Your Own Man</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> The deepest customization of any AI boyfriend app we looked at. You write his backstory, key memories and voice yourself. Since Oct 1, 2026, though, you have to pay to keep talking to him.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> People who enjoy writing a character as much as chatting with him.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing (Changed Oct 2026)</h3><p>From Kindroid&#8217;s own subscription docs, updated Oct 30, 2026:</p><ul><li><p><strong>No ongoing free plan.</strong> New accounts get a one-time preview: 50 messages on the flagship model (15 in some regions), 5 selfies, 5,000 audio credits and up to 2 Kindroids. After that the account goes read-only.</p></li><li><p><strong>3-day premium trial</strong> needs a payment method and converts automatically unless you cancel</p></li><li><p><strong>Standard:</strong> Kindroid shows exact prices only at checkout. Independent trackers list web pricing at about $13.99/mo, $37.99 per quarter or $139.99/yr. The US App Store lists $15.99/mo or $159.99/yr.</p></li><li><p><strong>Add-ons:</strong> Ultra (about $28.99/mo on the App Store) and MAX (about $68.99/mo) add more memory and context, and are monthly only</p></li></ul><p>Kindroid says buying on the web is usually cheaper than buying through Apple or Google.</p><h3>Memory, Voice and NSFW</h3><p>Subscribers get Cascaded Memory for medium-term recall, long-term memory with journals, voice and video calls, custom voices and proactive messages. Adult roleplay is allowed for adults. Users on r/KindroidAI say NSFW selfies are more filtered in the mobile apps than on the web, and complain most about the free-tier cut and running out of audio credits.</p><h3>Pros and Cons</h3><ul><li><p>Pro: unmatched control over his personality, history and voice, plus real-time calls</p></li><li><p>Con: no free daily chat anymore, and Ultra and MAX get expensive fast</p></li></ul><h2>Candy AI: Best AI Boyfriend App for Looks and Yearly Value</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> The most polished visual package, and the cheapest yearly plan among the big names. Candy&#8217;s Guys tab sits next to Girls and Anime, with ready-made men (a businessman, a trainer who plays the sax, a violinist) and a generator to build your own.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> People who want pictures, short videos and calls along with chat.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> a very short trial (trackers report about 5 messages, 1 custom character and 1 image)</p></li><li><p><strong>Premium monthly:</strong> $9.99 for the first month, then $13.99/mo</p></li><li><p><strong>Quarterly:</strong> $26.97 (about $8.99/mo)</p></li><li><p><strong>Annual:</strong> $47.88 (about $3.99/mo)</p></li><li><p><strong>Premium Plus:</strong> 330 tokens/mo, 20 memory slots and personas; the price isn&#8217;t public</p></li></ul><p>Premium includes unlimited text and 100 tokens a month. One subscription covers both the guys and the girls. Tokens pay for media: phone calls run about 3 tokens a minute and a 5-second scene video about 12 tokens, so a few calls and videos can use up a month&#8217;s allowance. Charges show as EverAI on bank statements.</p><h3>Memory, Voice and NSFW</h3><p>The builder lets you pick body type, personality (protector, dominant, lover, rebel and more), relationship type and voice. Explicit chat and 18+ images are on paid plans. Public reviews praise voice quality and image consistency, and complain about token burn and filters that don&#8217;t match the &#8220;uncensored&#8221; marketing. Memory reviews are more mixed than Nomi&#8217;s or Kindroid&#8217;s.</p><h3>Pros and Cons</h3><ul><li><p>Pro: a real shelf of male characters, a detailed builder and $47.88 for a full year</p></li><li><p>Con: a tiny free trial, and tokens run out quickly with calls and video</p></li></ul><h2>OurDream AI: Best for Voice Calls and Video</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> OurDream asks who you&#8217;re interested in at the door (males, females or trans, then gay or straight), and its boyfriend page opens a builder already set to male. It is the strongest pick when hearing him and seeing video clips is the point.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> Multimedia companions with calls and short videos.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> no card, a small number of starter DreamCoins, limited chat; adult media is mostly blurred</p></li><li><p><strong>Premium:</strong> $19.99/mo, or $119.88/yr (works out to $9.99/mo) with unlimited messages and 1,000 DreamCoins a month</p></li><li><p><strong>Deluxe:</strong> reported at $59.99/mo or $359.88/yr, with 5,000 coins a month and deeper memory</p></li></ul><p>From OurDream&#8217;s own coin guide, voice calls cost about 50 coins a minute and a standard video about 100 coins per 5 seconds.</p><h3>Memory, Voice and NSFW</h3><p>Adult content is allowed for verified adults, and the male builder has several male preset voices. Coin math is the trap: 1,000 coins covers roughly 20 minutes of calls and nothing else.</p><h3>Pros and Cons</h3><ul><li><p>Pro: male companions are a front-door option, with the best calls and video stack here</p></li><li><p>Con: heavy calling or video gets expensive, and the free tier is only a preview</p></li></ul><h2>DreamBF: The Boyfriend-Only App With a Renewal Catch</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> DreamBF is one of the few AI boyfriend apps built only around men. The chat, voice and images are all about him. The pricing, though, needs a careful read.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> Users who want a boyfriend-first site and will set a cancel reminder.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><p>From DreamBF&#8217;s own pricing and membership pages:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> a free trial plus a Daily Claim Bonus of 10 messages a day, growing by one a day on a streak up to 50</p></li><li><p><strong>Monthly:</strong> $12.99 for the first month, then $25.99/mo</p></li><li><p><strong>3 months:</strong> $29.97 first payment, then $77.97 every 3 months</p></li><li><p><strong>Annual:</strong> $69.99 for the first year, then $311.88/yr</p></li><li><p>Every plan includes unlimited messages, 100 tokens a month, voice calls and messages, and blur removal</p></li><li><p><strong>Token costs:</strong> image 10 tokens, voice call 7 tokens a minute, token packs $2.99 to $179.99</p></li></ul><p>The pricing page labels the monthly and 3-month plans the wrong way round, so read the amount and renewal line, not the label. There are no refunds once you have chatted or used credits.</p><h3>Pros and Cons</h3><ul><li><p>Pro: built entirely around male companions, with a usable free daily allowance</p></li><li><p>Con: renewals cost two to four times the intro price, and refunds are near zero</p></li></ul><h2>Replika: The Gentle Option</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> The best-known companion and AI boyfriend app, now running two products side by side. It&#8217;s good for warm daily check-ins and weaker for anything explicit.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> First-time users who want a caring, SFW-leaning boyfriend.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> basic chat, which Replika says will always be free, though it can limit free use. There&#8217;s no free trial of paid plans.</p></li><li><p><strong>Classic app:</strong> Pro, Ultra and Platinum. The US App Store lists monthly lines of $7.99 and $14.99, yearly lines of $49.99 and $69.99, and Platinum at $89.99.</p></li><li><p><strong>Replika 2.0:</strong> reached iPhone on Oct 5, 2026 with separate Plus and Max plans. Reported US prices are annual-only, around $79.99 (Plus) and $89.99 (Max). Moving to 2.0 gives you 7 days to switch back before it becomes permanent.</p></li></ul><h3>Memory, Voice and NSFW</h3><p>Romantic partner status, unblurred romantic selfies and voice calls need a paid plan. You can edit what he remembers. The terms ban pornographic content, and Italy&#8217;s data regulator fined Replika &#8364;5M in 2025.</p><h2>SpicyChat: Best Free NSFW Boyfriend Chat</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> A huge community library with plenty of male characters, and the most usable free NSFW chat among AI boyfriend apps.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> Trying lots of boyfriend characters before paying anything.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><p>From SpicyChat&#8217;s own pricing FAQ (prices raised on Sep 8, 2026):</p><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> unlimited messages with ads, shorter replies, about 4K context and queues at peak times</p></li><li><p><strong>Get A Taste:</strong> $5.95/mo or $60/yr</p></li><li><p><strong>True Supporter:</strong> $19.95/mo or $199.95/yr</p></li><li><p><strong>I&#8217;m All In:</strong> $29.95/mo or $299.95/yr, with text-to-speech</p></li></ul><p>Users call the free tier usable and name weak long-session memory as the main problem. Voice sits on the top tier only.</p><h2>CrushOn AI: Best for Variety</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> A large catalog of male characters across romance, anime and fantasy, with a credit system on top.</p><p><strong>Best for:</strong> Hopping between different guys instead of committing to one.</p><h3>Free Plan and Pricing</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Free:</strong> unlimited on slower free models plus a small monthly allowance of Pro credits; NSFW characters are mostly locked</p></li><li><p><strong>Standard:</strong> $5.99/mo or about $58.88/yr, with 2,000 monthly credits for Pro and Ultra models</p></li><li><p><strong>Higher tiers:</strong> climb steeply toward $199.99/mo</p></li></ul><p>Users like the library and dislike the credit math.</p><h2>Character.AI: SFW Only, and Its Future Is Uncertain</h2><p><strong>Verdict:</strong> A massive library of male characters for creative roleplay, but no NSFW at all, and the company is in bankruptcy.</p><p>On Oct 12, 2026, Character.AI&#8217;s parent company filed for Chapter 11 to run a court-supervised sale, expected to finish by late November or early December 2026. The platform stays up meanwhile, but will be wound down if no buyer keeps it running. c.ai+ has been about $9.99/mo or $94.99/yr. We wouldn&#8217;t buy an annual plan there right now.</p><h2>How to Choose Between AI Boyfriend Apps</h2><ul><li><p>Explicit images, explicit text only, or neither? Nomi allows spicy text but not nude images, Replika stays soft, and Character.AI blocks NSFW.</p></li><li><p>One deep companion (Nomi, Kindroid) or many characters (SpicyChat, CrushOn, Candy)?</p></li><li><p>If voice matters, check billing: Nomi and Kindroid include voice; Candy, OurDream and DreamBF charge tokens per minute.</p></li><li><p>Read the renewal price, not the first-month price, and buy on the web where you can.</p></li><li><p>Start monthly. Annual only makes sense once you know you&#8217;ll stay.</p></li></ul><h2>Privacy and Safety Tips for AI Boyfriend Apps</h2><ul><li><p>Chats live on company servers; use a separate email and leave out your full name, address and workplace</p></li><li><p>Cancel where you subscribed (web, App Store or Google Play); deleting the app cancels nothing</p></li><li><p>Most AI boyfriend apps don&#8217;t refund, so use the free tier or trial first</p></li><li><p>18+ only. Never create or roleplay characters who are minors, and check the listed age on every premade character.</p></li><li><p>If you&#8217;re struggling, a companion app isn&#8217;t a substitute for a professional or someone you trust</p></li></ul><p>For a wider look at prices, NSFW rules and billing names across companion apps, see our <a href="https://desirenerds.substack.com/p/ai-girlfriend-apps">AI girlfriend apps guide</a>. Most of the same platforms appear there.</p><h2>AI Boyfriend Apps FAQ</h2><h3>What Is the Best AI Boyfriend App in 2026?</h3><p>For memory and a relationship that builds over time, Nomi AI. For full control over his personality and voice, Kindroid. For pictures and the cheapest year, Candy AI. For calls and video, OurDream AI.</p><h3>Are There Free AI Boyfriend Apps?</h3><p>Yes, with limits. Nomi gives you 50 messages a day with no end date, SpicyChat offers unlimited free messages with ads, DreamBF has a daily claim of 10 to 50 messages, and Replika&#8217;s basic chat is free. Kindroid no longer has an ongoing free plan.</p><h3>Which AI Boyfriend App Has the Best Memory?</h3><p>Nomi has the strongest public reputation for long-term memory, followed by Kindroid with its cascaded memory, journals and key memories you write yourself.</p><h3>Which AI Boyfriend Apps Allow NSFW?</h3><p>Candy AI, OurDream AI, DreamBF, SpicyChat, CrushOn (mostly paid) and Kindroid allow adult content for verified adults. Nomi allows explicit text but not nude images. Replika is soft romance only, and Character.AI blocks NSFW.</p><h3>Can an AI Boyfriend Call You?</h3><p>Yes. Kindroid, Nomi, Replika, OurDream, Candy AI and DreamBF all offer voice calls on paid plans. Nomi and Kindroid include voice in the subscription, while Candy, OurDream and DreamBF bill calls in tokens or coins per minute.</p><h3>Are AI Boyfriend Apps Safe?</h3><p>AI boyfriend apps are as safe as their privacy policies and your own habits. Share as little personal information as you can, use a separate email, read the refund and renewal terms, and remember that your chats live on company servers.</p><h2>Final Verdict on AI Boyfriend Apps</h2><p>The best AI boyfriend apps in late 2026 split into two main camps. Nomi and Kindroid are about the relationship: memory, voice and a man who seems to know you. Candy AI, OurDream and DreamBF are about the full fantasy package: his face, his voice on a call, a short clip. SpicyChat and CrushOn are for browsing, and Replika is for something softer.</p><p>If we had to pick one place to start, it would be Nomi&#8217;s free plan, since it costs nothing and tests the thing that matters most in AI boyfriend apps: whether he remembers you tomorrow. If you want visuals, Candy&#8217;s $47.88 year is the cheapest serious option. Whatever you choose, read the renewal price before you pay.</p><p>Which AI boyfriend are you talking to, or thinking about trying?
