OperatorAi Horizon Inc.JOI AI (as the site's footer puts it); one third-party review names JOI-AI Limited, a UK-registered company, which the site itself does not confirm
Pricing notesFree trial available to try the core chat experience before subscribing, but there's no persistent free tier. 1 Month: $9.99. 3 Months: $23.97 ($7.99/mo). 12 Months: $71.88 ($5.99/mo). One-off credit purchases also available without a full subscription. Cryptocurrency accepted.1 Month: $13.99. 3 Months: $20.99 (~$7/mo). 12 Months: $47.99 (~$4/mo). Premium adds image generation and a limited video generation allowance (5 free clips/month, extra via Neurons).

My take

Neither has a real free tier, so you are choosing on price and features from the start. AIGirlfriends.ai is the cheaper way in at $9.99/mo against $13.99/mo for JOI. The entry price is only part of it: image, voice and video are often metered on top, so the pricing notes row matters as much as the headline. AIGirlfriends.ai simply does more: text chat with memory, ai-generated images and video generation are on its list and not on JOI's. More features is only better if you will use them. On adult content they are not the same product: AIGirlfriends.ai allows it on paid plans, JOI keeps a filter. Decide that first and half the comparison decides itself.

The better value in each row is marked in green. Search visits and brand searches are DataForSEO estimates; Tranco and Chrome UX tiers are ranks, not visit counts.

My take

Start with the row this site ranks on. When someone types "ai girlfriend" into Google in the US, AIGirlfriends.ai is there at #1; JOI does not appear in the tracked positions at all. That is why AIGirlfriends.ai sits higher here even if it is the smaller site: it is the one the category sends newcomers to. On size, AIGirlfriends.ai is the busier site: 254,494 search visits a month worldwide, about 7 times what JOI gets (34,016). These are estimates of visits from Google only, so a site with apps or ads can be bigger than this shows. Brand searches are the loyalty line: 33,100 people a month type JOI's name, against 70 for AIGirlfriends.ai. A name people type on purpose is a site they come back to; a site with lots of visits and few brand searches is living on rankings it could lose. Tranco tells a slightly different story: it counts every visit, not only search, and there JOI comes out ahead (#31,348 against #633,137). When search and all-traffic disagree, the site that wins on Tranco has an audience that does not come through Google. JOI's Domain Rating of 64 against 33 means far more sites link to it, which is what keeps rankings stable; the weaker link profile is the one more likely to move, up or down, when Google reshuffles. JOI is the older domain (2003 against 2023), which counts for something in a category where sites close without notice. In plain terms: AIGirlfriends.ai is both the bigger site and the one the category search points to.

“Users” is the balance of the YouTube reviews, Reddit threads and articles read for each brand page; “my test” is whether my own month on the site agreed with them.

My take

Users are happier with AIGirlfriends.ai: 6 of its 10 features come out positive, against JOI's 2 of 10, with 2 features where the complaints win. Where they split, AIGirlfriends.ai gets the better word on chat and roleplay. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 2 points for AIGirlfriends.ai and 3 points for JOI, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

My verdict on each

AIGirlfriends.ai logo

AIGirlfriends.ai

#1 on the ranking

AIGirlfriends.ai does more, and does it well, than any site I tested at its price: voice calls that feel alive, generated video that keeps the likeness, realistic images, a deep character builder and a news feed that gives the companion a life between chats.

JOI

#19 on the ranking

Joi is the loudest newcomer in the category, and after a month with it the product is better than the marketing deserves.
