OperatorMoe AI Limited (the App Store seller is listed as Moescape Technology Corp)JOI AI (as the site's footer puts it); one third-party review names JOI-AI Limited, a UK-registered company, which the site itself does not confirm
Pricing notesMonthly tiers now span Plus $9.99, Pro $14.99, Premium $29.99, and a new Platinum tier at $39.99. New users get daily free Mochi credits (the platform's currency for chat and generation), so there's a genuine if limited free-to-use path before subscribing. No crypto payments. No affiliate program.1 Month: $13.99. 3 Months: $20.99 (~$7/mo). 12 Months: $47.99 (~$4/mo). Premium adds image generation and a limited video generation allowance (5 free clips/month, extra via Neurons).

My take

If you want to try before you pay, Moescape AI lets you: JOI 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. Moescape AI is the cheaper way in at $9.99/mo against $13.99/mo for JOI. 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. Moescape AI simply does more: anime character customization, nsfw chat functionality and nsfw image generation are on its list and not on JOI's. More features is only better if you will use them. On adult content they are not the same product: Moescape AI allows it on paid plans, JOI 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, Moescape AI is the busier site: 50,908 search visits a month worldwide, about half as much again what JOI gets (34,016). 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: 33,100 people a month type JOI's name, against 22,200 for Moescape 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. Tranco tells a slightly different story: it counts every visit, not only search, and there JOI comes out ahead (#31,348 against #51,675). When search and all-traffic disagree, the site that wins on Tranco has an audience that does not come through Google. JOI's Domain Rating of 64 against 39 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. JOI is the older domain (2003 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 are happier with Moescape AI: 6 of its 10 features come out positive, against JOI's 2 of 10, with 2 features where the complaints win. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 2 points for Moescape AI and 3 points for JOI, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

My verdict on each

Moescape AI

#24 on the ranking

Moescape is an anime creative platform with a very good roleplay room, and it is the wrong shelf for most people searching 'ai girlfriend'.

JOI

#19 on the ranking

Joi is the loudest newcomer in the category, and after a month with it the product is better than the marketing deserves.
