Spending Less Without Getting Less
AI companion apps have a pricing problem. Premium tiers at $20-30/month, annual plans that lock you in, and “free” tiers that give you five messages before demanding a credit card. If you’re not ready to spend the price of a streaming subscription every month on AI chat, your options get thin fast.
But they exist. This list picks six apps with a plan under $10 a month and orders them by the lowest monthly rate each one offers, annual plans included. Several other apps also have a plan under $10; their reviews have the numbers. GoLove’s is the rate it last listed, since its PRO prices now sit behind a login, and CrushOn’s place rests on its $5.99 monthly Standard tier, because its annual rate also sits behind a login.
SpicyChat AI: $5.95/month
The cheapest month-to-month paid tier of any app we cover. SpicyChat’s “Get A Taste” tier removes the ads and the waiting line of the free tier, and adds the Memory Manager, up to 10 personas and two more models. Only annual plans, like Candy’s and GoLove’s above, go lower.
SpicyChat’s strength is its community-created character library. Thousands of characters spanning every genre and niche, and the popular ones tend to be the well-made ones. The chat is solid for the price, and NSFW handling is left to character creators rather than platform-level filters, so explicitly tagged characters run unrestricted.
On higher tiers (True Supporter at $19.95, I’m All In at $29.95), you get more models in the switcher and longer context memory: 4K on the entry tier, 8K and 32K above it, per SpicyChat’s docs. For most budget users, the $5.95 tier is enough.
The entry tier has no voice and no images. Conversation images start at True Supporter and character voice at I’m All In. SpicyChat is a text chat platform first and it doesn’t pretend otherwise. If that’s what you want, $5.95 gets you a lot of it.
Best for: Users who want the cheapest functional paid NSFW chat experience, with community variety and no image/voice filler driving up the price.
CrushOn.ai: ~$5.99/month
CrushOn’s Standard tier is the second-cheapest month-to-month entry here. You get the full community catalog (thousands of user-made characters), group chats with multiple bots, and NSFW roleplay that doesn’t need jailbreaks. Characters with high interaction counts tend to be the well-tuned ones. Annual billing arrived in April 2026.
Premium ($14.99) buys more messages (6,000 a month against Standard’s 2,000), more image credits and access to CrushOn’s most uncensored model mode. The ladder was reworked in 2026 and the plans sit behind login, so check the current list in-app.
Best for: Users who want CrushOn’s massive library and solid chat without paying the premium price.
Secret Desires AI: $7.99/month
Secret Desires’ Pro tier is the budget entry into a more polished, curated experience. Clean UI, built-in image generation, session memory. It’s the “just works” option. You get fewer rough edges than the marketplace-style apps and a smaller character library, but the floor on quality is higher.
NSFW is allowed within the usual platform rules (no minors, no real people), and every tier includes a monthly allocation of “Hearts” for images, video, voice and the best chat engines (100 on Pro, 200 on Ultra at $13.99, 300 on Max at $19.99). Pro is $79.99 if you pay for a year. The platform doesn’t have the community depth of CrushOn or SpicyChat, but at $7.99 it’s fairly priced for what it delivers. One caveat: 404 Media found nearly 2 million images and videos in exposed cloud storage in November 2025.
Best for: Users who want a polished, low-friction experience and value image gen plus clean UI over raw variety.
Candy.ai: $3.99/month (annual plan)
Here’s the asterisk. Candy.ai’s monthly price is $13.99. But the annual plan works out to $3.99/month ($47.88 billed upfront, a 70% discount), which makes it one of the cheapest effective rates on this list and arguably the best product here. There’s also a quarterly plan at $26.97 ($8.99/month effective, 35% off) if a year feels like too much commitment.
Candy promises long-term memory and offers premade characters plus a builder, and its chat score is the highest on this list. The image generation is built into the chat. The interface is polished. It’s the premium experience at a budget price, if you’re willing to commit for a year.
The commitment is the catch. $48 upfront is real money, and if you decide two months in that AI companions aren’t your thing, you’ve overpaid significantly. There’s no monthly opt-out on the annual plan. You’re betting on yourself to keep using it.
Best for: Users who’ve already tried AI companions, know they like them, and want the best possible experience at the lowest possible per-month cost. Not for experimenters.
The Real Budget Play
If you’re trying to spend as little as possible, start with CrushOn’s free tier (it’s usable), test SpicyChat at $5.95 if you want more, and only commit to Candy’s annual plan once you’re sure this is a regular part of your routine. Don’t pay for premium tiers until you’ve confirmed the basic experience isn’t enough.
