What AI girlfriend calls cost per minute
Most apps meter calls by the minute in their own currency, so here is what a minute comes to, worked out from each app's published prices.
Answer in brief
On heyGF.AI, our editorial choice, a call costs 1 coin a minute, so the $9.99 Casual plan's 150 coins cover up to 150 minutes, about 6.7 cents a minute if spent only on calls. Secrets AI's $19.99 plan covers about 160 minutes and OurDream's about 20. Character.AI's calls are free but it bans adult content, and Nomi and Replika include calls with a subscription without publishing a per-minute rate.

The sums
Divide the monthly allowance by the rate to get minutes, then the price by the minutes. It assumes the allowance goes only to calls, so read it as the most talk a plan can buy.
- heyGF.AI. 150 coins ÷ 1 coin a minute = 150 minutes, and $9.99 ÷ 150 = about 6.7 cents a minute. Closer's 350 coins for $19.99 come to about 5.7 cents, and Exclusive's 800 for $39.99 to 5 cents. The smallest top-up, 40 coins for $5.99 with no subscription, is about 15 cents a minute. The free plan does not include calls.
- Secrets AI. 8,000 Moments ÷ 50 a minute = 160 minutes, and $19.99 ÷ 160 = about 12.5 cents. Ultimate's 15,000 Moments for $39.99 make 300 minutes, about 13.3 cents.
- OurDream. 1,000 dreamcoins ÷ 50 a minute = 20 minutes, and $19.99 ÷ 20 = about $1 a minute. On the yearly plan, $9.99 a month billed at $119.88, the same 1,000 a month works out at about 50 cents a minute, with a 1,000-dreamcoin bonus at the start.
Calls that come with a subscription
Nomi and Replika include calls with a paid plan and publish no per-minute rate or monthly limit in the pages we checked, so what a minute costs depends on how much you call. Kindroid also gives voice calls to subscribers and meters live video at about 2,500 credits a minute on Standard or about 4,500 on Premium; we could not turn those credits into a dollar figure from what it publishes. Character.AI's calls are free for every user, though it bans adult content and has been in Chapter 11 since 12 October 2026.
No published rate, or no calls
Candy AI's tokens pay for "Voice Calls (beta)", and its plan includes 100 tokens a month, but its public pages do not say how many tokens a minute costs, and its token shop needs a sign-in. Its terms say remaining tokens expire when a subscription ends. SpicyChat has no live calls; its I'm All In tier, $29.95 a month since 8 September 2026, reads chat messages aloud in a voice you choose.
What else changes the bill
- Call length. heyGF.AI calls run up to 30 minutes; Secrets AI sets no maximum.
- Partial minutes. On heyGF.AI a minute you hang up in during its first 20 seconds is refunded, so running a few seconds over costs nothing.
- Unused credits. Secrets AI's monthly Moments do not roll over, though Moments you buy do. Candy AI's tokens expire when a subscription ends.
- Shared balances. On heyGF.AI, Secrets AI, OurDream and Candy AI, photos and video come out of the same balance as calls. On heyGF.AI a photo starts at 3 coins, the price of three minutes of talk.
Where heyGF.AI may not be the cheapest: if you talk for hours every month, a plan that bundles calls, like Nomi's or Replika's, could cost less per minute; neither publishes a limit, so check before you count on it. More on heyGF.AI's calls in detail and how to choose an app for voice.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to call an AI girlfriend?
Character.AI, where calls are free, if you do not want adult content. Among adult apps that publish a rate, heyGF.AI is the lowest we found: about 6.7 cents a minute on its $9.99 plan and 5 cents on its $39.99 plan, if the coins go only to calls.
Why do AI girlfriend apps charge for calls by the minute?
Live speech costs an app money for every minute you talk, which is why calls, like photos and video, are usually paid with credits.
