Pricing notesA free plan now exists alongside the paid tiers. Paid monthly: $12.99, $49.99. Yearly: $46.88, $238.88. No crypto. Affiliate program available.Monthly: $12.99. Yearly: $71.88 ($5.99/mo). No free tier. No crypto. Affiliate program available.

My take

If you want to try before you pay, HeyReal lets you: Fanfinity 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. Fanfinity is the cheaper way in at $5.99/mo against $12.99/mo for HeyReal. 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

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, HeyReal is the busier site: 11,977 search visits a month worldwide, more than 15 times what Fanfinity gets (729). 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: 1,000 people a month type Fanfinity's name, against 70 for HeyReal. 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. HeyReal's Domain Rating of 31 against 14 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. HeyReal is the older domain (2023 against 2025), which counts for something in a category where sites close without notice.

“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 Fanfinity: 3 of its 10 features come out positive, against HeyReal's 1 of 10, with 6 features where the complaints win. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 3 points for HeyReal and 4 points for Fanfinity, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

My verdict on each

HeyReal

#60 on the ranking

HeyReal is a small, anonymous character-chat site that gets its visitors by ranking for other brands' names, and a month with it found a competent engine inside a bad deal.
