Pricing notesA genuine free tier now exists (casual chat, restricted memory, no image/audio, no NSFW), with paid tiers confirmed via CraveU's own pricing page: Essential ~$4.99-5.99/month, Pro ~$7.99-14.99/month, Ultimate ~$29.99-49.99/month, plus token top-up bundles. This replaces the flat $6.99/month, no-free-tier structure tested originally. Desire-focused NSFW companion.1 Month: $19.95. 12 Months: $79.80 (~$6.65/mo). Token purchases and cryptocurrency payments accepted.

My take

Both give you a free tier, so you can try the chat on each before paying; expect message caps and few or no images until you upgrade. HeraHaven simply does more: immersive ai chat with memory, nsfw capability and image generation are on its list and not on CraveU's. More features is only better if you will use them. On adult content they are not the same product: CraveU allows it on paid plans, HeraHaven 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

None of these ranks in the tracked positions for "ai girlfriend", so their places on this site come from all-traffic rank, and their visitors arrive by name, by ads or from app stores rather than from the category search. On size, HeraHaven is the busier site: 118,642 search visits a month worldwide, more than 20 times what CraveU gets (5,705). 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: 5,400 people a month type HeraHaven's name, against 4,400 for CraveU. 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 CraveU comes out ahead (#300,064 against #405,892). When search and all-traffic disagree, the site that wins on Tranco has an audience that does not come through Google.

“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: 2 of 10 features positive for CraveU and 3 of 10 features positive for HeraHaven. HeraHaven gets it on price and tokens. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 3 points for CraveU and 2 points for HeraHaven, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

My verdict on each

CraveU logo

CraveU

#39 on the ranking

CraveU is the cheapest way I know to get a picture with every message, and that is both its case and its catch.

HeraHaven

#42 on the ranking

HeraHaven makes the best images at the lowest annual price of any companion I have tested, and after a month with it I would still hesitate to recommend the company behind them.
