Voice, photos and memory: which app has what
Most “best AI girlfriend” lists treat these apps as interchangeable. They are not. This table shows what each publisher advertises on its App Store listing or official site. “Not listed” means the listing does not mention it, not that the feature is missing.
| App | Voice | Photos / selfies | Video | Memory | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duple | Text only (no live voice) | Yes | Yes (short video selfies) | Yes | iPhone |
| Nomi | Voice messages | Yes | Not listed | Yes | iPhone, Android, Web |
| Kindroid | Real-time voice calls | Yes | Not listed | Yes | iPhone, Android, Web |
| EVA AI | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Yes | iPhone, Android, Web |
| Replika | Voice and video calls | Image generation | Video calls | Yes | iPhone, Android, Web |
| Blush | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | iPhone, Android |
Pick the kind of relationship first
Decide what matters most to you, then pick the app. If you want a girlfriend who sends selfies and photos, start with Duple on iPhone. If you want to talk out loud, choose Kindroid or Replika. If you want one companion on every device, choose Nomi. If you want to practice dating rather than settle into one relationship, try Blush.
Also check who you are trusting with your chats. In October 2026 Character.AI filed for bankruptcy and put the company up for sale, and state attorneys general asked the court to protect people’s private conversations in any sale (our summary). Before you get attached, check whether the app lets you export and delete your data.
Duple
Duple is built around one companion you create yourself: you pick their background, appearance and style, then chat by text. The App Store listing describes generated selfies, personalized pictures you can save to a library, and custom outfits. Duple’s website adds long-term memory across conversations, which you can reset or delete, and short video selfies.
Watch out: Duple is iPhone-only (iOS 26 or later), with no Android or web app, and it has no live voice chat or calls. It is also not a character library: you build your own companion instead of browsing other people’s.

Nomi
Nomi is the only app here whose App Store listing names the use case outright: “an AI girlfriend or boyfriend.” It advertises short- and long-term memory, selfies, art generation, voice messages, group chats and hundreds of photorealistic appearances.
Watch out: Voice on the App Store listing means voice messages, not a live call. Nomi Credits are also sold separately from the plans, so check what your plan covers.
US App Store: rated 18+ · Standard $15.99/mo · $39.99/quarter · $99.99/yr; Launch plan $9.99/mo or $59.99/yr; credit packs from $4.99. Sources: App Store listing (checked October 15, 2026).
Kindroid
Kindroid lets you write a detailed backstory and “implant key memories” for your companion. Its App Store listing advertises real-time voice calls, human-like text-to-speech and diffusion-generated selfies.
Watch out: It takes more setup than the others, and add-ons such as extra Kindroid slots, selfie credits and audio credits cost extra.
US App Store: rated 18+ · Subscription $15.99/mo · $42.99/3 mo · $159.99/yr; Ultra $28.99; MAX $68.99. Sources: App Store listing (checked October 15, 2026).
EVA AI
EVA AI is pitched as a slow-burn relationship: its listing talks about shared memories, moods that shift, and a bond that deepens over time. You can explore different personalities or create and customize your own character.
Watch out: The App Store copy does not advertise voice calls or photos, and several membership prices are listed for the same length, so check what your plan includes before paying.

Replika
Replika has offered an AI companion since 2017. It now describes itself as “the AI to do life with”: it remembers your people, plans and goals, and offers voice and video calls, image generation and avatar customization.
Watch out: Its current App Store copy focuses on everyday support and personal goals rather than romance. If a romantic relationship is the main reason you are looking, one of the apps above is a closer fit.

Blush
Blush is an AI dating simulator. Instead of one partner you design, you meet AI-created “matches”, each with their own backstory and dating style, and explore different storylines. The publisher pitches it as a low-pressure way to build dating confidence.
Watch out: Blush is about many matches and dating practice, not one long-term partner. It is on iPhone and Android, with no web app listed.

Before you start: a short safety checklist
An AI girlfriend is software run by a company, and your messages are stored on its servers. Read the privacy policy, look for export and delete options, and set a monthly budget before you buy credits. If you live in New York, state law now requires AI companion apps to detect and respond to signs of suicidal thoughts or self-harm and to remind you at the start of each chat, and at least every three hours, that you are talking to AI (New York Attorney General). If you are struggling, talk to someone you trust or a local support line.
How we built this list
We looked for apps on the US App Store that offer a one-to-one romantic or relationship companion. They are ordered by how directly each one serves that use, then by what it adds (photos, voice, memory). Features are what each publisher advertises, not hands-on test results. Prices and age ratings were copied from US App Store listings on October 15, 2026, and they change often. Adult-only web services are excluded. Read our methodology. Also see our Character.AI alternatives and PolyBuzz alternatives guides.
