Pick HeyGF for…
Lifelike AI girlfriends who share photos and clips mid-conversation. Ahead of Swipey AI on value and privacy.
- Cheap way in: 9.99 USD a month (99.99 a year) gets unlimited messages and 150 coins, enough for roughly 50 in-chat pictures
- 134 official photoreal companions, each given a written backstory, an intro video and a voice of her own
- Characters send photos, videos and voice notes during chat, and you can also make live voice calls
The catch: Only women, in a single photoreal style: male companions are listed as coming soon, and there is neither an anime mode nor a community library

- Live voice calls that save a transcript card, full-screen 'Play With Me' live video, and episodic video series linked to characters
The catch: After the first term, every Premium plan renews at the full 39.99 a month (479.88 a year on the yearly plan), and the 50% to 80% savings badges are based on that figure
