MiniApps.ai
#31 on the ranking
MiniApps.ai is a prompt marketplace with a filter-free companion inside it, and after a month with it that is how I would judge it: by the calls, not the catalogue.

vs
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 3 of the 4 figures that decide most choices.
In short
| What they offer | ||
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | ▲Yes | No |
| Entry paid plan | $9.99/mo | $13.99/mo |
| Adult content | Allowed on paid plans | Allowed on paid plans |
| Features |
|
|
| Best for | Users seeking real-time NSFW voice and call interaction with a realistic mature AI companion | Users wanting a widely recognized platform with expressive chat and flexible pricing who can tolerate slower response speeds |
| Not for | Users preferring anime visuals or NSFW images, app-based access, a free trial, or crypto payment options | Those who need real-time live calling or a strong free tier to evaluate before paying |
| Operator | Not disclosed on the site or in the press I read; it was launched by an individual developer on r/ChatGPT in 2023 and the site lists only a contact email | EverAI Limited |
| Pricing notes | A free tier now exists (100 credits/day). Paid monthly: $9.99, $39.00, confirmed still accurate. A yearly plan (~26% discount, exact price not published) has also been added since original testing. No crypto payments. | 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
If you want to try before you pay, MiniApps.ai lets you: Candy AI 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. MiniApps.ai 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.

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; MiniApps.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 5 times what MiniApps.ai gets (119,758). 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 6,600 for MiniApps.ai. 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 36 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. Candy AI is the older domain (2017 against 2023), 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 MiniApps.ai and 4 of 10 features positive for Candy AI. Where they split, MiniApps.ai gets the better word on free tier. Candy AI gets it on memory and image generation. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 2 points for MiniApps.ai and 1 point for Candy AI, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.
