Best AI boyfriend apps for adults: build your own companion, compared on rules and cost

Most AI companion services market themselves as AI girlfriend apps, and very few publish anything about a separate boyfriend product. In the official pages we read, the practical route to an AI boyfriend is a service where you build the character yourself: you set the name, personality, backstory and appearance, so the companion is whoever you design. The six services below work that way, or offer a large community library alongside character creation.

We did not count how many ready-made male characters each library holds. The order follows the criteria below, starting with how much of the character you control and how openly prices are published.

• Kindroid (https://kindroid.ai/). Best for: The most detailed character setup and long-term memory. You build a Kin by setting its name, personality, backstory, appearance and voice, and talk by text, voice messages and video calls. The moderation guidelines permit adult content for adults and explain where the line on minors sits. Prices appear only at checkout, by country and platform. Official site: kindroid.ai.
• Secrets AI. Best for: Custom characters with strong memory and a full price table. Secrets AI lets you chat with realistic or anime companions or build custom characters, and its documentation puts unusual weight on memory, from lorebooks to recalled past conversations. The wiki publishes Premium at $19.99 a month and Ultimate at $39.99 a month. The free tier allows 20 messages a day.
• Nomi (https://nomi.ai/). Best for: Several companions with long-term memory. Nomi lets you create several companions, put them in group chats and hold voice calls, and its main focus is short, medium and long-term memory. The terms bar anyone under 18, and the wiki defines every Nomi as an adult. The only USD price is $15.99 a month from an official blog post of March 2026; the current checkout was not confirmed. Official site: nomi.ai.
• Candy AI. Best for: A custom companion with voice and generated media. You can chat with ready-made characters or build your own, and paid plans include unlimited text chat plus 100 tokens a month for images, video and voice. Photo uploads are not possible. The free account is limited to 5 messages in total; paid plans start at $3.99 a month on the yearly plan ($47.88 billed once), or $13.99 a month after a $9.99 first month (US prices, October 23, 2026).
• Janitor AI. Best for: Free chat with a huge community library. Janitor AI hosts millions of community-written characters and its free tier includes unlimited chats on its own model, according to the help center. Characters with romantic or sexual themes must be tagged Limitless, and minor-coded characters are banned. The library is user-written, so quality varies, and we did not verify how many male characters it contains.

An AI boyfriend is an AI character you talk to as a partner: text chat first, and on some services voice messages, calls or generated pictures. On the services here, the character is software that generates replies. It does not have feelings, and it is not a substitute for people or for professional support. If you want the background, read what an AI girlfriend or boyfriend app is.

One thing we could not find: a dedicated boyfriend product with its own reviewed policies. DreamGF links a sister site, DreamBF.ai, for male companions, but we have not reviewed that site, so it is not listed. Everything on this page is a general companion or roleplay service where you decide who the character is.

1. Character control. Can you create the companion yourself, and how much of it can you set? Services where you design the character rank above library-only services.
2. Adult-only terms. Every service here limits access to adults 18+ and bans content involving minors in writing.
3. Real people. The character must be fictional. Candy AI and Secrets AI ban real-person content in their own policies, and Janitor AI bans recognizable depictions of real private individuals.
4. Published prices with the check date, or a clear statement that a price was not published.
5. Privacy and deletion, from each privacy policy.

Kindroid and Nomi do not have their own pages in this catalogue yet, so they are named with their official sites.

Not everyone searching for an AI boyfriend wants adult content. Every character must be, and must appear to be, an adult. Paid plans are published in USD, from $7 a month for Green to $28 for Gold, and all purchases are non-refundable.

On the other services, adult content sits inside published rules: Janitor AI requires a Limitless tag on characters with romantic or sexual themes, and Kindroid's moderation guidelines permit it for adults while drawing a firm line on minors.

A boyfriend character that forgets your last conversation does not feel like one. Three services here put memory at the center:

• Kindroid: long-term memory for every Kin, with an extended "Cascaded Memory" for subscribers.
• Nomi: short, medium and long-term memory, according to the official site.
• Secrets AI: lorebooks, recalled past conversations and longer context on higher tiers.

Janitor AI's free model has a context of about 9,000 tokens, and the paid janitor+ tier raises it five times, according to the help center.

Prices vary more than the features. Secrets AI publishes a full USD table. Kindroid shows the price only at checkout. Nomi's only published USD figure is from a March 2026 blog post. Candy AI starts at $3.99 a month on the yearly plan ($47.88), checked from the US on October 23, 2026. Janitor AI is free for unlimited chats on its own model, with an optional janitor+ subscription at $12.99 a month or $99 a year (checked October 24, 2026).

Free use, as published: Janitor AI unlimited chats on its own model, Secrets AI 20 messages a day, Candy AI 5 messages in total; Kindroid offers fewer Kin slots, and Nomi publishes no limits.

Most of these services also sell a second currency for media (Moments, tokens or cells). Read how it is spent before paying, and see the AI companion billing guide for renewals and refunds.

A companion chat is often more personal than any other app you use, so the policy matters:

• Secrets AI lists model training among data uses and deletes chat history immediately on account deletion.
• Kindroid says it will not sell or share personal data and keeps chats until you delete a Kin or your account; deletion is by contacting the company.
• Nomi says it does not sell personal information; deletion removes personal information within about 28 days, but archived communications remain.
• Candy AI may use de-identified chats for training and keeps account data for about three years after your last activity unless you ask for deletion.
• Janitor AI gives no fixed retention period, and if you connect an outside model, that provider also receives your messages.

Keep real names, addresses and photos out of every chat. The AI companion privacy guide explains why.

• You want to design him from scratch: Kindroid.
• You want him to remember everything: Kindroid, Nomi or Secrets AI.
• You want to start free: Janitor AI.
• You want voice and pictures in the same place: Candy AI.
