The best private AI companion apps

Most AI companion apps want your email and your card. Here's how the popular ones compare on privacy, and what to look for.

If you're going to tell an AI your secrets, privacy should be near the top of your list. Here's how to judge an app, and how some popular names compare.

What to judge

Signup: email, phone, social login, or nothing?
Payments: card and app store, or crypto?
Storage: are chats encrypted at rest?
Tracking: third-party analytics and ad scripts?
Deletion: does deleting your account really delete everything?
Adult content: allowed, and is it stable or likely to vanish?

LateLune

No email or phone at signup, just an account number and password. Pays with Monero and Bitcoin through its own node. Chats encrypted with a key per account, destroyed on deletion. No trackers, no IP logs, an onion site. Adult content allowed. Characters with long-term memory and lives of their own. Honest that it's not end-to-end encrypted.

Replika

The best-known AI companion. Signup uses email or a social login, and payments go through cards or app stores. Removed erotic roleplay in 2023 before partially restoring it.

Character.AI

Huge variety of characters. Signup uses email or social login. A strict content filter, with no adult content.

Nomi

Known for strong memory. Uses email signup and card payments. Allows adult content.

Kindroid

Highly customizable companions. Email signup and card payments. Allows adult content.

The bottom line

If privacy is the priority, look for no-email signup and crypto payments first. That rules out most of the big names, and it's exactly why we built LateLune.

FAQ

What's the most private AI girlfriend app?

One that needs no email, takes crypto, encrypts chats at rest and doesn't track you. LateLune was built to that standard.

Policies vary. Read the privacy policy, and prefer apps that collect as little as possible.
