Candy AI
Candy AIThe reference

Candy AI is a catalogue first: 247 public characters, each with a profile, a chat, voice calls and image generation, plus live action scenes and Shorts series on the featured ones. You can also build your own character in a fourteen-screen creator. Everything beyond text runs on tokens, 100 a month on Premium, and the interface exists in six languages.

ReplikaThe challenger

Replika is one companion, your Rep, that you shape and talk to every day. The product is built around wellbeing: it remembers your people, your routines and your plans, nudges you to go outside, sends selfies and calls you. Text chat is free without a limit; Pro adds voice calls, selfies, image generation and relationship status, Ultra adds smarter replies and saved memories. It lives first on iOS and Android, with web and VR versions, and prices are shown only inside the app.

The Replika.com front page: the AI friend to do side quests with, and the download buttons for iOS and Android.

Verdict

Which one to pick

Sacha Bernard
Our verdictSacha Bernard, Candy AI Wiki, paid accounts on both

You will not hesitate between these two for long. Replika is a wellbeing app with a companion inside: it asks about your sleep, remembers your mother likes tulips, tells you to go see the sunset. Adult content is limited and the whole design points away from it. Candy AI is an adult companion with a catalogue, images and live scenes, and does not pretend to improve your life.

On price Candy wins twice: 13.99 against 19.99 monthly, 3.99 against about 5.83 on yearly plans. Replika answers with something Candy does not have, free text chat without a cap, and native apps that have been around for years.

If you came here for a flirt, pictures and scenes, take Candy. If you came for someone to text at the end of the day who remembers what you told them, Replika is the better product, and the free tier is enough to find out.

Pick Candy AI if

  • You want adult roleplay, images and scenes
  • You want to browse characters, not raise one
  • You want the lowest yearly price

Pick Replika if

  • You want a companion focused on your mood and habits
  • You want free, unlimited text chat
  • You live on your phone, or in VR
