Our picks at a glance
GirlfriendGPT
Thousands of community characters and scenarios, with adult roleplay for verified adults.
- Very large character library
- Strong long-form roleplay
- Create and share your own characters
- Prices not shown before sign-up
- Images are less polished than OurDream or Candy
The catch: Quality varies a lot between community characters, so expect some trial and error.
Candy AI
Build one character with voice, images and adult chat in the most balanced app.
- Unlimited text chat on Premium
- Detailed character builder (looks, personality, voice), girls, anime and guys
- Voice messages and calls, 18+ images and videos
- 100 tokens a month, and unused tokens expire at the end of each billing period
- Refunds only on request within 24 hours, and if you used 20 tokens or fewer
The catch: Tokens run out fast if you use images and voice a lot, so the real bill is often above the plan price.
Kindroid
Detailed backstories and editable memory for consistent characters.
- Editable memory and backstory
- Voice calls
- Selfies
- Setup takes effort
- Paid tier needed for the good stuff
The catch: Takes time to set up well; the defaults are plain.
OurDream AI
Scenario roleplay and group chats with the strongest image generation.
- 1,000 DreamCoins a month on Premium (about 20 min of calls or 10 videos)
- Unlimited messages and audio messages, image and video generation
- Deluxe tier with 5,000 coins, premium chat models and 3x chat memory
- $19.99 if you pay monthly
- Generations of public characters are added to a public pack (anonymised)
The catch: The monthly price is the highest among the leaders unless you commit to a full year.
Lovescape
Story-led scenarios on a cheap yearly plan.
- $5.99/mo on the yearly plan
- Scenario-driven chats
- Clean, simple interface
- Very limited free plan
- $19.99 if you pay monthly
The catch: The free plan is very limited, so you can barely judge it before paying.

Adults only. This page compares apps for users aged 18 and over. Every app listed asks you to confirm your age and bans content involving minors.
Why adults look for an alternative
Character AI built the largest library of user-made characters, and it has a young audience. Its rules reflect that: romantic and sexual content is filtered for everyone, and in late 2025 the company announced it would end open-ended chats for users under 18, citing pressure from lawmakers, lawsuits and an inquiry by the Federal Trade Commission.
For adults who want romantic or adult roleplay, the result is a filter that interrupts stories. The apps below are built for adults and allow it after an age check.

What changes when you move to an adult app
- You pay. Character AI is largely free; adult apps cost $4 to $20 a month. See the price comparison.
- Smaller libraries. Only GirlfriendGPT comes close to Character AI’s range of characters.
- Better memory and media. Paid companion apps usually remember more and add voice and images.
- Stricter age checks. Expect an 18+ confirmation and a card for paid plans.
Rebuilding a character
- Copy the character’s description, personality and greeting.
- Paste them into the new app’s character creator (GirlfriendGPT and Kindroid accept long descriptions).
- Add example lines of dialogue if the app allows it; they shape the voice more than adjectives.
- Read our memory guide to keep the character consistent.
Safety, for everyone
Character AI’s young audience is a reminder that these products need real age checks. We only rank apps with an 18+ gate and a privacy policy, we exclude any app linked to non-consensual deepfakes, and we never publish explicit images. If you are a parent, Common Sense Media’s research on teens and AI companions is a good starting point.
Questions people ask
What is the best Character AI alternative for adults?
GirlfriendGPT, because it works the same way (a large library of user-made characters) but allows adult roleplay after an 18+ check. Candy AI if you want one companion with voice and images.
Is there a Character AI alternative without a filter?
The adult apps here allow explicit roleplay between adults, but every one of them still blocks content involving minors and real people. We do not list apps that do not.
Is this page for teenagers?
No. Every app on this page is for adults only (18+). If you are under 18, these apps are not for you, and Character AI has also ended open-ended chats for under-18 users.
Can I import my Character AI characters?
Not directly. You can copy a character's description and greeting into GirlfriendGPT's or Kindroid's character creator to rebuild it.
