How the five compare for male characters
The question that decides this ranking is not whether an app supports men — they all do — but whether it has enough of them, and whether they got the same voices and artwork as the female presets. On that measure the field splits cleanly in two.
Open library or build your own — that is the real choice. SpicyChat and CrushOn hand you thousands of male characters other people wrote. Candy AI, OurDream and Infatuated hand you a builder and expect you to write him yourself.
The five, ranked for male characters
This order is not our homepage ranking. There we score the product as a whole; here the only question is how seriously the app takes male characters, which is why the two community-library apps come first and the strongest product overall sits third.
1
SpicyChat AI
Biggest selection of male characters
Freeto start
SpicyChat runs on user-generated characters, and that is exactly why it wins here. When the library is built by the audience rather than the vendor, male characters get made in the same volume as female ones — nobody at the company has to decide that men are a category worth resourcing.
You also get to test it properly: around 100 messages a day with no card, the full library, group chats with up to four characters and adult content, all on the free tier. The limitation is structural rather than gendered — there is no cross-session memory on any plan, so your boyfriend restarts from nothing every conversation. Paid plans start at $5.00 but the real upgrade is $14.95.
2
CrushOn AI
Deepest memory, no filters
24Kmemory
The same open-library model as SpicyChat, with two differences that matter for a long-running character: memory scales to 24K tokens on the upper plans, the largest here, and you can manually pin facts so they stay in context. If you want a boyfriend who remembers the argument you had last week, this is the mechanism for it.
The catch is the free tier. It is 100 message credits per month — about three a day — so evaluating it properly means paying, from around $6.66. Coins earned through daily check-ins soften that, and there are no content filters at all.
3
Candy AI
The only one that calls you back
Livevoice calls
Candy AI does not have a browsable male library on the scale of the first two, but it lets you set gender when you build a character — and then gives that character things nobody else offers: live voice calls rather than recorded notes, video up to two minutes, and image generation that keeps the same face across hundreds of generations.
It is also the most expensive way to find out whether you like it. The free tier is around five messages, so there is no meaningful trial, and everything except text is paid again in tokens on top of the $13.99 subscription. Budget two to five times that if you actually use the media features.
4
OurDream AI
Everything in one bill
50 / dayfree messages
Gender is part of the character builder here too, and once you pay, everything comes in one subscription: video with lip-sync, per-minute voice calls and HD images, rather than being metered as separate packs. Memory carries between sessions, which SpicyChat cannot do at any price.
Fifty free messages a day and five images make it the second-best way to try this category without paying. The ceiling is the coin allowance — 1,000 a month that reviewers report exhausting in under a fortnight of daily generating, and a failed video still spends them.
5
Infatuated AI
Markets both, meters everything
10 / chatfree messages
Infatuated is the only one of the five whose own positioning names AI boyfriend alongside AI girlfriend, and it supports male characters on identical terms. The problem is not the characters, it is the meter: every message costs a token, so the 100 tokens in a monthly plan are literally 100 messages.
Voice is asynchronous audio messages, not calls, and video is pre-rendered clips of five to ten seconds. The free tier is ten messages per conversation, which is enough to judge the writing and nothing more.
How to get an AI boyfriend
There is nothing to acquire — you pick one and start typing. The honest version of this question is which of the two routes suits you:
- Browse an existing character. Open SpicyChat or CrushOn AI, filter the library by male, and start a conversation. Free, instant, and you get someone else’s personality writing, which is usually better than a first attempt at your own.
- Build him. Candy AI, OurDream AI and Infatuated AI all have character builders where gender is one of the first settings. You choose appearance, personality traits, occupation and how he speaks to you. This costs money on all three.
Neither route needs a card up front. Two of the five have a free tier you can stay on, and none of them ask for payment details before your first message — if a site does, it is selling a trial rather than offering a free tier.
Building your own AI boyfriend
Every app here lets you create a character from scratch, and the depth varies more than the marketing suggests. Some give you a dozen sliders; others let you write a free-form description the model actually follows.
Two things to check before you spend time on it, because they are not advertised:
- Does your custom character get the same features as the presets? On Infatuated AI, creating a character is behind the paywall entirely and costs 25 tokens.
- Does he keep his voice? On several apps the male presets ship with fewer voice options than the female ones, and a custom character inherits that smaller set.
Start from someone else’s character even if you plan to build. A few conversations with a well-written community character tell you more about what you want than an empty builder form does.
Why ChatGPT will not do this
A lot of people arrive here having tried to set one up on ChatGPT with a system prompt, and hit the same wall. General-purpose assistants are trained to break character when a conversation turns romantic, and they have no persistent profile of you between sessions — so even when the roleplay holds for an evening, it resets tomorrow.
The apps here differ in exactly those two places. They keep a character profile that survives the session, and their content policies are written for adult fiction rather than against it. That is the entire product difference, and it is why a prompt cannot substitute for one.
How to choose an AI boyfriend app
If you want choice, take SpicyChat AI. The largest library of male characters here, free to use properly, and no filters. You are trading away memory: he will not remember yesterday, on any plan.
If you want continuity, take CrushOn AI. 24K of context and manual pinning is the best memory machinery in this group. Expect to pay, because three messages a day is not an evaluation.
If you want him to call you, take Candy AI or OurDream. They are the only two with real-time voice. Candy AI does it better and charges tokens for it; OurDream includes it and runs out of coins instead.
