Romantic AI Alternatives: 7 Picks That Add Voice Calls (2026)
Last updated How we score
Our Romantic AI review (7.6/10)Romantic AI vs other apps
Quick answer
Kindroid is the closest swap: iPhone, Android and web apps, adult chat allowed, plus the voice and live avatar video calls Romantic AI lacks. For a free start, Nomi AI states its limit: 50 messages and 2 images a day. SweetDream AI and FantasyGF list the token cost of every image and call, which Hearts don't. Worried about model training on your chats? Try Soulkyn or AI Peeps.

Why people leave Romantic AI
Hearts buy photos and audio, but the rate per item isn't published
Premium, $14.99 a month on Apple's US store, pays for the chat itself; photos, audio clips and virtual gifts are paid in Hearts, sold in packs from $4.99 (100 or 150 Hearts) to $14.99 (1,000 or 1,500). Neither the website nor the store listings say how many Hearts a photo or a clip costs, so the price of a picture can't be known in advance. SweetDream AI (8 tokens an image), FantasyGF (from 2 tokens) and AI Peeps (10 PeepCoins) publish per-item prices, and Nomi AI's Standard plan includes 40 image requests a day.
No voice or video calls
Romantic AI's terms describe chat 'via text and photos', and its store listings mention no calls; audio comes as clips bought with Hearts. In our Romantic AI review it scores 5.5 for voice and 3.0 for video. Kindroid offers voice calls and live avatar video calls, SweetDream AI live phone and video calls (video with featured characters), and Nomi AI, FantasyGF, Soulkyn, AI Peeps (live voice chat) and Candy AI (in beta) voice calls.
Every subscription is final, even the $44.99 year
Romantic AI's terms (updated Sep 23, 2026) call every subscription purchase final, consider refunds only for its own errors or technical faults, and say the EU 14-day withdrawal right does not apply. That covers the $44.99 year, paid up front. Nor can you size it up first: Basic is free, but its limit isn't published, and spicy replies stay blurred without Premium. Nomi AI states its free allowance; Kindroid has a 3-day trial and emails a reminder the day before it converts; SweetDream AI refunds a payment in full if you've used 10% or less of its tokens; Candy AI lets EU and UK residents back out of a first purchase within 14 days; and AI Peeps' wiki calls a refund for a recent, lightly used subscription usually fine.
Chats feed its model training, and no opt-out is described
The terms say you consent to anonymised chat data being used to train Romantic AI's models and describe no way to opt out; the privacy policy promises encryption in transit and doesn't mention end-to-end encryption. Apple's privacy label says contact info may be used to track you, the Android app contains ads, and Mozilla's 2024 review counted at least 24,354 trackers in one minute of use, The Next Web reported. Soulkyn leaves training off unless you switch it on in your account preferences, and AI Peeps' GDPR policy keeps anything that holds personal data out of its in-house model training.
The 7 Romantic AI alternatives
Kindroid: best like-for-like app, with calls
Kindroid keeps Romantic AI's setup, apps on iPhone, Android and the web, and adds what it lacks: voice calls and live avatar video calls. NSFW chat and erotic roleplay are allowed for adults within published red lines, and starting a plan checks your age through the payment method instead of a self-declared gate. It scores 8.6/10 to Romantic AI's 7.6, with voice at 8.5 and video at 9.0 against 5.5 and 3.0, and the App Store lists it as 18+, with 4.8 stars from about 10,000 ratings. On Apple's US store the Standard plan is $15.99 a month, a dollar above Romantic AI Premium. You can try it first: 50 free messages once, then a 3-day trial that emails a reminder the day before it turns into a paid plan.
What you give up:
The cheap year: Kindroid's yearly plan is $159.99 (about $13.33 a month) against Romantic AI's $44.99. There's no ongoing free plan, refunds are generally not given either, and extras still run on credits: selfie packs cost $6.99 for 50, and Kindroid doesn't publish how many call minutes its audio credits buy. You also write your companion's backstory yourself instead of picking a ready-made girlfriend or boyfriend from a library.
Nomi AI: best for a daily free allowance of known size
Where Romantic AI keeps its Basic limit to itself, Nomi AI states its free allowance outright: 50 messages plus 2 images every day, without a card. Like Romantic AI it has iPhone, Android and web apps, and one subscription covers all three. Paying for Standard ($15.99 monthly or $99.99 yearly, roughly $8.33 a month) unlocks unlimited texting, voice messages and hands-free calls, short videos, group chats and up to ten companions. It also covers 40 image requests a day; only beyond those does a picture use a credit, which costs 5.6¢ to 12.5¢ depending on pack size. Text chat is advertised as unfiltered. Voice scores 8.8, and Nomi 8.5/10 overall.
What you give up:
Explicit pictures: Nomi bans nude images on every plan and platform, so anything adult stays in the text. Video calls aren't offered, refunds happen only if Nomi chooses, a year costs more than twice Romantic AI's ($99.99 against $44.99), and Nomipedia says chats help improve its AI in aggregate once names and other identifying details are stripped.
SweetDream AI: best for live calls and published token prices
SweetDream AI covers the calls Romantic AI leaves out: its Premium plan has live AI phone calls, and video calls plus Live Cam with featured characters. It scores 9.1/10, with voice at 8.5 and video at 9.5. Where Hearts have no published rate, its token list is public: an image is 8 tokens, a voice message 3, a video 80, and a browser phone call 1 token up front and 2 per minute. The 400 tokens bundled with Premium each month would buy 50 images or 5 videos. Like Romantic AI, it lets you build a girlfriend or boyfriend, including in anime styles, and free accounts get daily messages. Unlike Romantic AI, it also refunds a payment in full on request if you've used 10% or less of its tokens.
What you give up:
Price and apps. On Oct 10, 2026 the Premium price list read $179 a year, $79 for 3 months or $12.99 a week (about $56.29 a month), and SweetDream has used more than one list, so confirm at checkout; Romantic AI's year is $44.99. It runs in a browser only, video calls work only with featured characters, the free daily allowance isn't published, and anonymised chats may be used to train its models.
AI Peeps: best for priced pictures, live voice and chat privacy
AI Peeps puts a number on every picture: an image costs 10 PeepCoins and a video starts at 40. Peep Chat ($8.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed yearly) bundles 300 PeepCoins, roughly 30 images, with unlimited texting, and you can talk to a Peep in live voice chat. On data, its GDPR privacy policy rules out selling personal data and says chats, uploads or creations containing personal data aren't used to train its own models. Adult content is allowed on the free plan too, under published rules against minors and sexual deepfakes. Refunds are decided case by case, and its wiki calls a recent, lightly used subscription usually fine. It scores 9.0/10, with voice at 8.5.
What you give up:
A phone app: AI Peeps runs in the browser, installable as a web app, while Romantic AI has iPhone and Android apps. The free tier's daily message allowance has no published number, monthly plan coins don't roll over, and its wiki lists smaller coin allowances than its comparison pages (100 against 300 on Peep Chat), so check the shop after signing in. It is run by AI Peeps Lab, an Italian sole trader, and its wiki says a single developer builds it.
FantasyGF: best for calls and pictures priced per token
FantasyGF prices in the open what Romantic AI charges Hearts for: a picture from 2 tokens, a voice message 0.5, a call 8 tokens a minute and a video from 6. Texting on Premium is unlimited and costs no tokens, the 100 tokens a month included cover up to 50 pictures or 12 call minutes at the cheapest rates, and unused tokens don't expire. Premium costs $12.99 a month, $2 less than Romantic AI's monthly price, or $69.99 a year. It has the highest voice (9.0) and image (9.5) scores of these picks, against Romantic AI's 5.5 and 8.0, and scores 8.6/10 overall.
What you give up:
A usable free tier and an app: a free account ends after 16 messages, blurs NSFW pictures and can't call, and FantasyGF runs only in a browser. It centres on AI girlfriends: you can create a boyfriend, but all 36 voice presets are for female characters. The yearly plan costs $25 more than Romantic AI's, a subscription can be refunded only before its next billing period begins, and whether chats train its AI goes unmentioned in a privacy policy dated March 11, 2024.
Soulkyn AI: best for keeping chats out of training
Soulkyn is the pick if Romantic AI's training clause is the problem: its FAQ says your chats go into model training only with your consent, a setting under Account → User preferences, and that it doesn't sell user data; conversations can be deleted at any time. Have I Been Pwned listed no breach of soulkyn.com on Oct 24, 2026. It also adds live voice calls (voice scores 8.5 against Romantic AI's 5.5) next to images and short videos, allows uncensored chat for adults, and runs group scenes with up to eight characters on Deluxe. Soulkyn scores 8.5/10.
What you give up:
Price and convenience: paid plans start at €24.99 a month (Premium, with quotas on images, voice and video), and unlimited images need Deluxe at €49.99, against Romantic AI's $14.99. Soulkyn runs only in a browser, free use is a brief trial capped by messages, a refund needs a mistake on Soulkyn's side or a technical issue, and its privacy policy says personal information is normally retained for six years after an account is closed.
Candy AI: best for a similar yearly price
Candy AI is the nearest match on price: $47.88 a year ($3.99 a month) against Romantic AI's $44.99, or $13.99 a month ($9.99 the first month). Every plan bundles unlimited texting with 100 tokens a month, spent on images, short clips, voice messages and voice calls, which Candy still marks as beta, and it scores 8.5/10, with voice at 8.5 and video at 7.5 against Romantic AI's 5.5 and 3.0. Its refund terms are wider than Romantic AI's: ask within 24 hours of a card payment and, if you've used 20 tokens or fewer, the charge can be refunded; EU and UK residents also have 14 days to back out of a first purchase, minus a share for what they used. Charges show as 'EverAI'.
What you give up:
Clearer media prices: the only rate Candy publishes is Candy Roulette's 5 tokens a minute, so an image, clip or voice message has no listed token cost, and unused tokens expire when a cancelled plan runs out. It is web-only, the free account stops after 5 messages, and its terms give EverAI a perpetual licence to your chats, covering AI training and marketing. Romantic AI also scores higher for realism (9.0 against 8.5) and UI (9.0 against 8.5).
What Romantic AI still does better
The lowest yearly price here: $44.99 on Apple's US store, roughly $3.75 a month. Candy AI is nearest at $47.88, then FantasyGF ($69.99), Nomi AI ($99.99), Kindroid ($159.99) and SweetDream AI ($179).
Native apps with an NSFW switch: Romantic AI has iPhone and Android apps as well as a web app, and adult chat turns on or off. Among the picks only Kindroid has store apps and allows explicit content; Nomi AI's apps advertise unfiltered text but allow clothed images only, and the other five run in a browser.
A ready-made cast: you can pick from a library of girlfriends, boyfriends and anime characters, in photo-realistic or anime style, or build one in its creator. Kindroid, the closest pick, is built around writing your own companion.
If you're leaving Romantic AI because…
| Reason | Try |
|---|---|
| Hearts buy photos and audio, but the rate per item isn't published | SweetDream AI, FantasyGF, AI Peeps, Nomi AI |
| No voice or video calls | Kindroid, SweetDream AI, Nomi AI, FantasyGF, Soulkyn AI, AI Peeps, Candy AI |
| Every subscription is final, even the $44.99 year | Nomi AI, Kindroid, SweetDream AI, Candy AI, AI Peeps |
| Chats feed its model training, and no opt-out is described | Soulkyn AI, AI Peeps |
What one photo costs: Hearts next to the picks' published rates
Hearts have no published rate per photo, so Romantic AI's cost per picture can't be filled in below; Candy AI and FantasyGF keep part of the maths behind sign-up too. Prices come from each platform's review; the last column is the smallest pack's price divided by its credits, times the credits one image uses.
| Platform | Credits per image | Included with the plan | Smallest top-up | One extra image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Romantic AI | Not published | 100 Hearts a day with Premium (web paywall, Oct 10, 2026) | $4.99 for 100 or 150 Hearts | Can't be worked out |
| SweetDream AI | 8 tokens | 400 tokens a month with Premium | $9.99 for 400 tokens | ≈ 20¢ |
| AI Peeps | 10 PeepCoins | 300 PeepCoins a month on Peep Chat ($8.99) | $5 for 500 (once), then $10 for 900 | 10¢, then ≈ 11¢ |
| Nomi AI | 1 credit, once 40 a day are used | 40 image requests a day on Standard | $4.99 for 40 credits | ≈ 12.5¢ |
| Kindroid | Not stated for a still image | Standard selfie credits refill every 30 minutes, up to 25 | $6.99 for 50 selfie credits | ≈ 14¢ a credit |
| FantasyGF | From 2 tokens | 100 tokens a month with Premium | Prices shown after sign-up | Not public |
| Candy AI | Not published | 100 tokens a month | Not on public pages | Not public |
Soulkyn prices pictures by plan quota instead: Premium (€24.99 a month) caps them and Deluxe (€49.99) removes the cap. If you mostly text, the currency matters less. Romantic AI Premium advertises unlimited messages, and so do Nomi AI's Standard plan, FantasyGF Premium, every paid AI Peeps plan, Soulkyn Premium and Candy AI.
Keeping a phone app after Romantic AI
Romantic AI has native apps in both stores: "Romantic AI Girlfriend Chat" on the App Store (rated 18+, 4.3 stars from about 1,900 ratings) and "Romantic AI - Chat Girlfriend" on Google Play (Mature 17+, 100K+ downloads, contains ads), plus a web app. Only two of the seven picks match that:
- Kindroid: App Store 4.8 from about 10,000 ratings (18+), Google Play 4.4 from 26.4K reviews, and kindroid.ai. A subscription bought on one platform can't be moved to another until it runs out, so start it in the store you plan to keep.
- Nomi AI: App Store 4.6 from about 3,000 ratings (18+), Google Play (Mature 17+) and a web app, a single subscription unlocking all three.
On a phone, SweetDream AI, FantasyGF, AI Peeps and Candy AI open in the browser and can be pinned to the home screen as web apps; Soulkyn is browser-only. Billing changes too: Romantic AI bought in the app is charged by Apple or Google, whose refund processes apply, while a plan on a browser-only pick falls under that company's own refund terms.
Taking your Romantic AI data and companion with you
- Request a copy first. Just Web It Oy, the Finnish company behind Romantic AI, is bound by GDPR, which gives you rights of access and data portability. Requests go to [email protected], with a reply promised within one month; send yours before you delete anything.
- Delete once you have it. Deleting the account is irreversible and removes your data, apart from accounting records kept for up to ten years under Finnish law. Cancelling Premium is a separate step, covered in the FAQ below.
- Write your companion down. Romantic AI's creator stores a style (photo-realistic or anime), traits such as humour, emotionality and cuddliness, a conversation tone and any custom persona facts. No pick documents an import from Romantic AI, so you rebuild by hand: Kindroid takes a written backstory, key memories and example messages, and its avatars also come in Photoreal or Anime; Nomi AI lets you create a Nomi with a backstory on the free plan. AI Peeps accepts cards exported from Character.AI, SillyTavern, Chub or JanitorAI; Romantic AI isn't on that list.
Cancellation, refunds and the full privacy terms are covered in our Romantic AI review.
If you kept Romantic AI's NSFW switch off
Romantic AI's adult mode is a switch you can leave off, and its store listings name chat modes of their own: Romantic and Flirty on the App Store, Friendship and Romance on Google Play. If that is how you used it, three app-based companions fit, each with different limits:
- Nomi AI (8.5/10) lets you set each Nomi as a Friend, Romantic, Mentor or Custom companion, and its images stay clothed on every plan.
- Replika (7.4/10) keeps texting free, but a romantic relationship status, voice calls and unblurred selfies are Pro features, and its terms bar pornographic content. Apple's US store lists plans from $7.99 a month and $49.99 a year without naming the tier each one buys. See Replika vs Romantic AI.
- EVA AI (6.7/10) is phone-only, with no web app, and its terms ban explicit content; the FAQ below covers why it isn't a pick. See EVA AI vs Romantic AI.
Every score on this page uses the same weighted categories, explained in how we score.
Romantic AI alternatives: FAQ
Is there a free Romantic AI alternative?
Nomi AI is the only pick with a free allowance that renews daily at a stated size: 50 messages and 2 images a day, no card, in its iPhone, Android and web apps alike, with images always clothed. AI Peeps and SweetDream AI give free daily messages without publishing the number, and AI Peeps allows adult chat on its free plan. Romantic AI's own Basic plan is free too, but its limit isn't published and spicy replies stay blurred without Premium.
Which Romantic AI alternatives work on iPhone?
Two picks have App Store apps rated 18+ that also run on Android and the web: Kindroid, which allows NSFW chat, and Nomi AI, whose images stay clothed. The other five open in Safari and can be pinned to the home screen. Replika and EVA AI are on the App Store as well, but both ban explicit content. Store ratings and billing differences are in the phone-app section above.
Is there a Romantic AI alternative with no filter?
Kindroid, SweetDream AI, FantasyGF, AI Peeps, Soulkyn and Candy AI all allow adult content for users 18+, each under its own published rules, and all of them ban anything involving minors, as Romantic AI's Blocked Content Policy does. Nomi AI advertises unfiltered text chat but generates clothed images only.
Is Romantic AI safe?
It is run by a registered Finnish company, Just Web It Oy, says it doesn't sell personal data, and Have I Been Pwned listed no Romantic AI breach as of Oct 24, 2026. The weak spots: anonymised chat data is used for model training and the terms describe no way to opt out, the privacy policy mentions encryption in transit rather than end-to-end, age is self-declared, and Mozilla's 2024 review counted at least 24,354 trackers in one minute of use. Details are in our Romantic AI review.
Is EVA AI a good alternative to Romantic AI?
On paper it looks like Romantic AI: ready-made female and male characters, a yearly membership ($47.99 against $44.99) and a second currency, Neurons. That is why it fixes little: a romantic message costs 2 Neurons, and App Store and Google Play purchases are final. EVA AI scores 6.7/10 to Romantic AI's 7.6. See EVA AI vs Romantic AI.
Is Candy AI better than Romantic AI?
On our scores, yes: 8.5/10 against 7.6, with voice at 8.5 against 5.5 and video at 7.5 against 3.0. Yearly prices are close ($47.88 against $44.99) and Candy's refund terms are wider. Romantic AI scores higher for realism and UI (9.0 against 8.5 each) and has native iPhone and Android apps, while Candy runs in a browser. See Candy AI vs Romantic AI.
How do I cancel Romantic AI before switching?
Cancel where you subscribed. On the website, choose Unsubscribe in your account settings or email [email protected]; in the app, cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play subscriptions. Premium stays active to the end of the paid period and isn't charged again. App Store and Google Play refunds follow Apple's or Google's rules, and deleting your account is a separate, irreversible step.
