My take
If you want to try before you pay, DreamGF lets you: Candy AI asks for a card first. A free tier is a sampler, not a plan, but it tells you whether the chat suits you before money moves. DreamGF is the cheaper way in at $9.99/mo against $13.99/mo for Candy AI. 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.

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. For the search "ai girlfriend" in the US, Candy AI is at #11 and DreamGF at #53, so Candy AI is the one more newcomers find first. Page one is positions 1 to 10; anything past that is traffic you have to earn by name. On size, Candy AI is the busier site: 592,075 search visits a month worldwide, more than 125 times what DreamGF gets (4,657). 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: 301,000 people a month type Candy AI's name, against 2,900 for DreamGF. 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. Candy AI's Domain Rating of 76 against 60 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. Candy AI is the older domain (2017 against 2023), which counts for something in a category where sites close without notice. In plain terms: Candy 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 Candy AI: 4 of its 10 features come out positive, against DreamGF's 2 of 10, with 3 features where the complaints win. Where they split, Candy AI gets the better word on memory and safety and legitimacy. Both get the same complaint on free tier, so that is a category problem rather than a reason to pick one over the other. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 1 point for Candy AI and 1 point for DreamGF, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.
My verdict on each
DreamGF
#8 on the ranking
DreamGF has the deepest character builder I have used and the pricing structure I would least recommend.
