Waifu AI: anime companion accounts compared

Candy.ai is upfront about its visual choice: the public character creator offers Realistic and Anime. That confirms an illustrated option exists. It does not tell you how consistent a character looks from one output to the next, or how closely its dialogue follows a detailed personality. Treat the style selector as an appearance setting and look at the account rules on their own.

The introductory allowance is small and fixed: five messages across all characters, one custom character and one image. The five messages are a total and do not reset each day. They show you how the interface is laid out, but they cannot back up any claim about long-term memory. Premium includes 100 tokens per month and Premium Plus includes 330. You also need the cost per action before a monthly token grant tells you how many actions you can complete.

The subscriptions page shows $9.99 for the first month and $13.99 for each monthly renewal after that. The page does not name an ISO currency, so don't read those figures as Canadian-dollar checkout prices. Quarterly and yearly billing are separate options. An illustrated avatar has no effect on the amount charged or the renewal terms, and you still need to keep the actual receipt.

Privacy is its own question, apart from style. The policy allows specified processing of conversation content, including training and de-identified review. To remove an account, go to Settings, Danger Zone and Delete. To stop renewal, go to My Profile, Settings and Unsubscribe. These are different controls. If you only want to stop paying, find the subscription action first, then decide whether you also want to remove the character and account history.

Nomi offers anime, photorealistic and fantasy character styles. Its free text allowance is 50 messages per day, so the daily reset matters most in any comparison. Free users can send up to 400 characters per message, and subscribers up to 800. Those numbers limit how long a message you submit can be. They do not measure how much of the conversation the system remembers.

Paid access includes up to 10 companions and 10 groups. Several characters can help if you want to keep separate fictional settings apart, but more slots do not make any one character write better. Work out whether you really need several distinct conversations before counting the extra slots as value. You pay for a slot whether you use it or not, so compare a plan against the features you plan to use.

In the Canadian iOS listing, the quarterly purchase is CA$49.99 and the annual purchase is CA$129.99. The Standard entry at CA$19.99 does not show its billing interval, so it can't be quoted as a monthly price. A separate 100-credit purchase costs CA$12.99. Credits and subscription access are different kinds of purchase, and your receipt should show which one you bought. You need a paid subscription to buy credits.

Nomi states plainly that chats are not end-to-end encrypted. An anime character does not hide what you share from the operator. Deletion requires email confirmation and typing DELETE, and processing takes about 28 days, with some exceptions. Cancelling a subscription goes through Profile, Subscription and Manage, and the platform you originally paid through handles the final cancellation. Think about export and retention before you close an account.

OurDream's official community FAQ names Fluidity Anime. That shows one specific illustrated option exists. It does not show that every character or model looks the same. The FAQ also explains that the browser service, including its home-screen install, is not a native app. Don't mistake a browser shortcut for a separately verified store app.

The Standard monthly subscription is US$19.99 and includes 1,000 Dreamcoins. The annual purchase is US$119.88, shown as US$9.99 per month, and a first-month bonus changes how many coins you get at the start. You pay the annual amount for the whole term up front; the monthly figure is only for comparison. Neither US-dollar price tells you the Canadian-dollar total once the payment provider converts it and adds any tax.

Ordinary paid text conversations cost zero coins, while the Genius option uses one coin per response. That difference is about your account budget. It is not a claim that one mode writes better dialogue. Coins can pay for other features too, so keep ordinary conversation and optional actions apart when you review your account. Ending a month with a large balance does not always mean you needed the subscription for that month's text use.

Deletion has a direct billing effect: deleting the OurDream account automatically cancels its active subscription. The help page says deletion takes 24 to 48 hours and that unused coins are lost. Normal cancellation does less damage and keeps your access until the end of the paid term. Decide which outcome you want before you use the danger-zone control. Retention exceptions in the privacy policy, and anything you have already shared, are separate matters.

Secrets.ai documents anime and realistic options for custom characters. Its character controls set an adult age range of 18 to 99. Make the visual choice and the character's adult identity match. A stylised drawing does not remove the need for a clearly adult fictional character, and this comparison includes no explicit character scenarios.

The free ordinary-chat allowance is 20 sent messages per day, and it resets 24 hours after your first message. Custom characters have their own total allowance of 100 messages, on top of the daily limit. The two limits work differently: the daily counter renews, while the custom-character limit is a fixed total. Track them separately when you decide whether a free account supports the kind of ongoing conversation you want.

The advertised Premium annual offer is US$109.99, shown as US$9.17 per month, with 8,000 Moments each month. You pay the annual amount up front. Under the published schedule, each custom character after the first costs 500 Moments. Monthly grants reset, but purchased top-ups never expire. Those expiry rules matter more than how large a single balance looks.

Characters can be private, shared or public. The documentation warns that once another user starts a conversation with a shared character, you cannot unshare it. Pick the visibility before you send it out, and don't assume that removing a link undoes earlier sharing. The documentation says automatic memories are kept per companion, but it does not report any measured test of retention or accuracy.

Lovescape offers anime and realistic styles and supports fictional adult characters. Its character-management help lists private and public visibility, with private as the default. Check a character's actual visibility before you share it. Appearance is only part of a profile. The name, biography and conversation setup can also reveal things the creator did not mean to publish.

The safety article says characters remember earlier conversations while you are logged in. That describes how the account is meant to behave, not a measured memory window, and it gives no number of exchanges the character reliably remembers. A general promise about memory is not the same as a published input length or a list of saved facts you can edit.

Lovescape uses Chips for optional actions. Its help says purchased Chips never expire, cannot be refunded, and can be bought by active subscribers. The cost of an action varies and is shown before you take it. Without that rate, you can't convert a Chip balance into a set number of future actions. The balance is also separate from the recurring subscription payment.

Membership renews automatically. To cancel, go to account settings and choose cancellation; access continues until the paid period ends. A balance that never expires does not by itself mean you keep every subscriber feature after that. For an 18+ fictional-character account, review billing and sharing separately: stopping renewal handles payment, and visibility controls decide who can find the character.
