I bought a membership on both and tested each for a month. What they offer, their measured numbers and what their users say, next to each other, with my verdict on each at the end.
The scoreboard
Candy AI leads on 2 of the 4 figures that decide most choices.
In short
| What they offer | ||
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | No | No |
| Entry paid plan | $13.99/mo | $19.99/mo |
| Adult content | Allowed on paid plans | Allowed on paid plans |

| Best for | Users wanting a widely recognized platform with expressive chat and flexible pricing who can tolerate slower response speeds | Users wanting seductive voice messages, high-quality NSFW images and chat, and both anime and realistic styles via browser without login gates |
| Not for | Those who need real-time live calling or a strong free tier to evaluate before paying | Those needing live voice or video calls, crypto billing, or a free trial |
| Operator | EverAI Limited | Dream Studio USA, Inc. and TEKTOPIA LTD (Cyprus); the iOS app is published by Mindbots LLC |
| Pricing notes | 1 Month: $13.99. 3 Months: ~$26.97 (~$8.99/mo). 12 Months: ~$47.88 (~$3.99/mo). Tokens (used for voice, images, and video) are included per tier with add-on packs available. Cryptocurrency payments accepted. | 1 Month: $19.99. 12 Months: $119.88 ($9.99/mo). |
My take
Neither has a real free tier, so you are choosing on price and features from the start. Candy AI is the cheaper way in at $13.99/mo against $19.99/mo for OurDream.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. When someone types "ai girlfriend" into Google in the US, Candy AI is there at #11; OurDream.ai does not appear in the tracked positions at all. That is why Candy AI sits higher here even if it is the smaller site: it is the one the category sends newcomers to. On size, Candy AI is the busier site: 592,075 search visits a month worldwide, about twice what OurDream.ai gets (301,181). These are estimates of visits from Google only, so a site with apps or ads can be bigger than this shows. Tranco tells a slightly different story: it counts every visit, not only search, and there OurDream.ai comes out ahead (#11,457 against #12,246). When search and all-traffic disagree, the site that wins on Tranco has an audience that does not come through Google. Candy AI is the older domain (2017 against 2024), 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 rate them about the same: 4 of 10 features positive for Candy AI and 3 of 10 features positive for OurDream.ai. 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 2 points for OurDream.ai, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.
