AI girlfriend apps in Canada: costs, memory and privacy

Nomi gives an ongoing fictional relationship several places to store its background. Backstories, shared notes and Mind Maps sit alongside conversational memory. If you want a character to keep a consistent personality across many conversations, those distinctions help. They describe the tools on offer, though, and do not prove that every detail will be recalled correctly. A good start is a small invented background and a few preferences you would be comfortable storing with an online service.

The free allowance is 50 messages a day, with a 400-character input limit. Paid messages allow 800 characters. That makes the free account a more generous introduction than a handful of lifetime messages, although a long exchange will still hit the ceiling. Standard includes up to 10 companions and 10 group chats. Voice calls require a subscription, and after a downgrade the voice features become read-only. So extra characters are only part of the reason to pay.

Nomi's published US-dollar prices are US$15.99 monthly and US$99.99 annually. The Canadian App Store lists Standard Plan Yearly at CA$129.99 and Standard Plan Quarterly at CA$49.99 for the three-month term. Its generic Standard Plan entry of CA$19.99 does not show an interval. Do not blend these entries into a single Canadian monthly price. Check provincial tax and the final renewal amount on the purchase confirmation.

Optional credits add another spending decision. The Canadian store lists 40 credits for CA$6.99, and an additional companion slot costs 100 credits. You need a subscription to buy credits, and they do not expire. For an ordinary chat routine, find out what the subscription already includes before buying extras. To cancel, go to Profile, Subscription and Manage Subscription; paid access continues to the end of the term. Nomi states plainly that its chats are not end-to-end encrypted, and its policy says personal information is deleted in about 28 days, with exceptions. The Nomi review treats those account controls separately from its memory features.

Replika builds the experience around one continuing avatar instead of having you pick a new community character for each conversation. Free access includes chat and avatar customization. Pro adds relationship-status options, activities, voice messages and calls, among other paid features. In an AI girlfriend app, a relationship label, a voice feature and the quality of the conversation are three separate things. Paying for the label does not mean the dialogue will feel more natural to you.

Ultra builds on Pro with features described as improved conversation, self-reflection and saving messages to memory. The Canadian App Store lists an Annual ULTRA purchase at CA$114.99. The same listing shows several annual prices and monthly labels with inconsistent capitalization, so the cheapest number there is not a reliable quote for any particular current plan. Pick the named tier and read its renewal screen before you budget around it. Replika says it does not offer a free trial of its paid plans.

Look at the memory controls before the avatar becomes part of your daily routine. You can remove individual saved memories, but deleting the whole conversation history means deleting the account. If you want to clear yesterday's exchange and keep an established profile, know that in advance. The privacy policy allows profile, message and preference data to be kept for up to 60 days after the contract ends. Some financial and device records have longer legal retention periods.

You cancel through the channel you paid with, which means the relevant app store for store purchases. Deleting the Replika account does not stop billing on its own. If you leave, cancel the recurring payment and delete the account as two separate steps, and keep the cancellation confirmation. Replika is worth comparing if a stable avatar and voice conversation are your priorities, but check whether the specific tier includes the features you want. Treat it as optional entertainment, with room left for ordinary offline relationships and activities.

Candy AI's free introduction is tightly limited. Its help centre lists 5 chat messages across characters, 1 created character and 1 generated image. These are one-time allowances with no daily reset. Reading five messages as a daily quota would make the free tier look much bigger than what is published. The introduction is enough to see the interface and character setup, but it tells you little about how an ongoing fictional conversation develops.

Paid access combines a subscription with tokens. Standard includes 100 tokens per month. Premium Plus includes 330, plus 20 memory slots and 5 chat clones. A memory-slot count tells you how many entries a plan holds, not how faithfully the character will use them. The Plus features may matter if you manage several story variations. If you only want text conversation, first find out which features actually spend tokens. The subscription label alone does not explain the total cost of every action.

The public subscription page shows a first-month amount of $9.99 that renews at $13.99. The annual option shows $47.88 billed for the year, or $3.99 as a monthly equivalent. The dollar symbol on the page does not say whether these are Canadian or US dollars, so treat the amounts as displayed offer figures, not a CAD quote. The annual headline is also a different payment commitment from a monthly subscription. Confirm the currency, the full charge and the renewal amount together before you rely on the price.

Candy's charges appear on statements as EverAI. To cancel, go to My Profile, Settings, Unsubscribe and follow the confirmation prompts; access lasts until the paid period ends. Account deletion is a separate control in the Danger Zone. The privacy policy permits AI training and possible human review of de-identified interactions, and it generally keeps account data for up to 3 years after your last activity. A private character does not mean private processing, so be careful with personal details. The Candy AI review covers the subscription and account controls in more detail.

Secrets AI keeps sent chat messages separate from a currency called Moments. The free plan allows 20 sent messages a day, resetting 24 hours after the first message. Conversations with custom characters have their own limit of 100 messages in total. This is easy to miss: a daily allowance on one part of the service does not mean every conversation renews on the same schedule. Decide whether you want to chat with an existing fictional character or build your own before you judge the free offer.

Memory works per companion, storing information for later conversations. Characters can be set to private, shared or public. Think before sharing: once another person has chatted with a shared character, the service says it cannot be unshared. For a personal fictional story, keeping the character private stops its setup from becoming part of someone else's experience. When you create a character, use an invented adult identity and details that do not identify you or anyone else.

Premium includes 8,000 Moments a month and Ultimate includes 15,000. Subscription grants reset monthly, while purchased top-ups do not expire. Voice calls cost 50 Moments per minute, and text-to-speech is charged by text length. With these units, a routine that mixes chat and voice works differently from an unlimited bundle. Compare the Moments budget with the activities you expect to use.

The published regular Premium annual price is US$109.99 for the year, advertised as US$9.17 per month. That monthly figure is not what you are charged each month, and a promotional first term does not tell you the next renewal price. Charges appear on statements as S LABS INC. To cancel, go to Settings and Manage Subscription and confirm; the account returns to free access after the paid period and keeps your chats. Judge Secrets by the exact activities you plan to use, paying attention to how daily messages, monthly Moments and extra purchases differ.

GirlfriendGPT is run by NextDay AI, and its canonical service address is gptgirlfriend.online. The product centres on character conversations and also advertises voice messages and media features. Voice messages are not live calls: a recorded reply is a different interaction from an ongoing spoken exchange. If you mainly want an AI girlfriend chatbot for conversation, look at the message allowance before the size of the catalogue.

Its description of free access gives an illustrative total of 10 to 20 messages across 2 to 3 characters. That is a one-time introduction shared across the account, not a confirmed daily refill. Paid plans describe 5,000 to 20,000 messages per month, and unused messages do not roll over. Compare the named plan's allowance with the kind of conversations you actually enjoy instead of picking the largest number by default.

The service offers a progressive web app and an official Android APK. An APK is an installation format. It does not mean the subscription is free or that an equivalent listing exists in a native app store. If installation is your main concern, make sure you have the official publisher and update route and not a similarly named app. The amount that matters is the currency and renewal total shown for your chosen plan and payment method, with any provincial tax shown before purchase.

Cancellation works through two separate paths: the account's Manage Subscription section and CCBill billing. Paid access normally lasts until the end of the current term. Refunds are generally limited to qualifying billing mistakes or technical problems, so do not treat a paid month as a refundable experiment. The privacy policy describes a usual retention period of 6 years after account closure, and deletion requests go through support. That matters if you plan to discuss sensitive topics. Use a fictional adult character, keep identifying details out of its background, and choose this format only if the catalogue and message budget suit what you want.

Kupid AI is a fictional-character service with separate Pro and Ultra allowances. Its comparison gives Pro 25 photos, 8 videos and 12 voice minutes per week, and Ultra 75, 25 and 35 respectively. If conversation is why you are buying, the voice allowance is the figure that matters most. Voice messages do not mean live calling is available. Decide whether listening to replies adds anything to your routine before paying for a larger multimedia allowance.

The public comparison also lists 4 custom characters for Pro and 8 for Ultra. One memory reference mentions the last 100 messages but does not clearly tie that figure to a tier. So neither plan can honestly be said to remember an entire relationship indefinitely. Keep any important invented background short and save your own copy instead of counting on a memory guarantee that is never stated.

Prices appear in euros as a weekly equivalent: €3.44 for Pro and €5.75 for Ultra in the offer we saw. That display does not show the actual charge period or the upfront total. A good purchase screen tells you the amount collected, the currency, when it renews and what the allowance includes, and a weekly promotional headline cannot cover all of that. The free introduction is described as a few messages, with no reliable recurring number.

Coins split granted value from purchased value. Subscription, free and promotional grants expire after 6 months, while purchased packs do not expire. That can matter even if you only use the service now and then. Kupid's privacy policy normally keeps personal data for 6 years after closure, and its terms send cancellation requests to support. Before committing to a recurring charge, find out how to cancel the specific offer you chose. Kupid's case rests on its visible character and voice quotas; the unclear billing interval makes it much harder to compare its price with a plan clearly labelled monthly.

Character.AI offers custom and community characters, live voice calls and unlimited free messages, though you may land in a waiting room at busy times. You can build a fictional adult persona for ordinary conversation, but the platform's rules still apply whatever relationship label you use. Paying does not remove those rules or skip age checks. Think of it as a general character-chat service, and do not assume every product in this comparison has the same boundaries.

The published c.ai+ prices are US$9.99 monthly and US$94.99 annually. A Lite subscription costs US$4.99 monthly, with a limited daily premium allowance, after which you get standard models. The published allowance does not give a reliable number for that daily premium quota. Memory pins are clearer: free accounts get 15 and Lite gets 30, while full c.ai+ adds private Lorebooks. These tools let you keep selected background information, but they do not guarantee that every response will stay consistent.

A major business development affects any long commitment. On October 12, 2026, Character.AI announced a voluntary Chapter 11 process and a proposed court-supervised sale. The announcement says the service and subscription billing continue, and also says the platform will wind down if a viable sale does not happen. Having access today does not remove that uncertainty. If you plan a long personal story or a lengthy prepaid term, be more cautious than the unchanged subscription screen suggests.

The company says export and account deletion stay available during the proceeding. On the web, deletion is under Profile Settings, Account and Manage Account & Data; on mobile, use Remove Account. Age assurance can involve Persona, and the published FAQ says biometric data is deleted within 7 days. That rule covers the age check, not your chats. Keep a copy of any fictional material you care about and check the company's status before each renewal. Here, continuity and control over your history matter as much as the free message allowance.
