Platinum (highest tier, price not published) adds selfie video generation and real-time video recognition. No crypto payments. | 1 Month: $19.95. 12 Months: $79.80 (~$6.65/mo). Token purchases and cryptocurrency payments accepted. |
My take
Both give you a free tier, so you can try the chat on each before paying; expect message caps and few or no images until you upgrade. HeraHaven is the cheaper way in at $19.95/mo against $19.99/mo for Replika. 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. HeraHaven simply does more: immersive ai chat with memory, nsfw capability and image generation are on its list and not on Replika's. More features is only better if you will use them.

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, HeraHaven is the busier site: 118,642 search visits a month worldwide, about three times what Replika gets (47,230). 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: 14,800 people a month type Replika's name, against 5,400 for HeraHaven. 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 Replika comes out ahead (#89,382 against #405,892). When search and all-traffic disagree, the site that wins on Tranco has an audience that does not come through Google. Replika's Domain Rating of 76 against 52 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. Replika is the older domain (2004 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: 2 of 10 features positive for Replika and 3 of 10 features positive for HeraHaven. Where they split, Replika gets the better word on free tier. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 3 points for Replika and 2 points for HeraHaven, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

HeraHaven makes the best images at the lowest annual price of any companion I have tested, and after a month with it I would still hesitate to recommend the company behind them.
