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
SpicyChat leads on 3 of the 4 figures that decide most choices.
In short
| What they offer | ||
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | ▲Yes | ▲Yes |
| Entry paid plan | Free | $4.95/mo |
| Adult content | Allowed on paid plans | Allowed on paid plans |
| Features |

|
| Best for | Curious users wanting to try AI girlfriend chat for free with zero sign-up via Telegram | Budget-conscious users who want quality AI conversation and NSFW chat at the lowest possible price |
| Not for | Anyone wanting image generation, voice, character customization, memory, or a real companion experience | Anyone who wants voice interaction, image generation, or cross-session memory |
| Operator | VirtuAI (the trading name in the imprint and terms, with German VAT number DE419018567 and a contracted youth-protection officer; no legal form, address or founder is published). The bot was launched by a solo developer posting as u/TheGigaDroid in January 2024. | NextDay AI |
| Pricing notes | Completely free via Telegram bot. No payment required. | Named monthly tiers: Get A Taste ~$4.95-$5/mo, True Supporter ~$14/mo, I'm All In ~$24/mo, with roughly 17% off if billed annually. |
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.

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, SpicyChat is the busier site: 2,411,388 search visits a month worldwide, more than 3740 times what VirtuGF gets (645). 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: 1,000,000 people a month type SpicyChat's name, against 20 for VirtuGF. 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. SpicyChat's Domain Rating of 72 against 22 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.

“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 SpicyChat: 5 of its 10 features come out positive, against VirtuGF's 2 of 10, with 2 features where the complaints win. SpicyChat gets it on chat and roleplay. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 4 points for VirtuGF and 2 points for SpicyChat, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

#15 on the ranking
SpicyChat is the free, no-tokens roleplay site, and a month with it convinced me that is enough to be second in the category.
