My take

If you want to try before you pay, HeyReal lets you: Juicy Chat 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. They cost the same to start, $12.99/mo, so the difference is what that money buys.

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, Juicy Chat is the busier site: 34,745 search visits a month worldwide, about three times what HeyReal gets (11,977). 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: 110,000 people a month type Juicy Chat'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. Juicy Chat's Domain Rating of 48 against 31 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 2024), 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 rate them about the same: 1 of 10 features positive for HeyReal and 1 of 10 features positive for Juicy Chat. Both get the same complaint on memory, 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 3 points for HeyReal and 4 points for Juicy Chat, 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.
