What we could not confirm
Where an app's own pages did not answer a question, this guide says so instead of guessing. On 11 November 2026 that included whether Character.AI, Secrets AI, SpicyChat, Candy AI and OurDream let you chat without an account; whether Kindroid, SpicyChat, Secrets AI, Nomi and Candy AI let free users have adult chat; Nomi's and SpicyChat's free message limits; what Nomi's Launch Plan includes; whether Nomi's free accounts can call; Candy AI's token cost per call minute; and whether Secrets AI gives new accounts 200 bonus Moments, on which its own docs disagree.

How these guides connect
This guide is published by heyGF.AI, our editorial choice in it, and is one of a set of heyGF.AI guides that each answer a different question. It is a promotional guide, not an independent review: facts about other apps come from their own sites and are cited on each page, and links to them earn us nothing.
