What they offer
| What they offer |  Flipped |  Candy AI |

| Free tier | No | No |
| Entry paid plan | $9.99/mo | $13.99/mo |
| Adult content | Filtered or limited | Allowed on paid plans |
| Features |
|
|
| Best for | Voice-first companion users who want mobile access and real-time calls at a budget price | Users wanting a widely recognized platform with expressive chat and flexible pricing who can tolerate slower response speeds |
| Not for | Users primarily seeking image generation or aggressive explicit NSFW content | Those who need real-time live calling or a strong free tier to evaluate before paying |
| Operator | Singapore Desert Oasis Technical Pte. Limited (App Store seller); the store developer name is Flipped Chat | EverAI Limited |
| Pricing notes | From $9.99/month, confirmed still accurate on the current flipped.chat site. iOS and Android apps available. Note: this review's original domain, flippedapp.com, no longer resolves; the brand's current site also mentions a free plan with limited features, unconfirmed firsthand. | 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. |
My take
Neither has a real free tier, so you are choosing on price and features from the start. Flipped 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. Candy AI simply does more: nsfw chat and image generation, character customization and voice messages are on its list and not on Flipped's. More features is only better if you will use them. On adult content they are not the same product: Candy AI allows it on paid plans, Flipped 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, Candy AI is there at #11; Flipped 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 5 times what Flipped gets (112,546). 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 110,000 for Flipped. 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 28 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. 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 Flipped and 4 of 10 features positive for Candy AI. Where they split, Flipped gets the better word on chat and roleplay and voice calls. Candy AI gets it on memory and image generation. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 4 points for Flipped and 1 point for Candy AI, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.
My verdict on each
