AI Girlfriend Apps Ranked by Memory: Who Still Remembers You After a Week

OurDream AI is the best AI girlfriend with memory you can buy. It scores 9.0 for memory, half a point clear of every other app I grade, carries the top overall grade, an A at 9.2, and starts at $9.99 a month on a yearly plan. Behind it, three apps tie at 8.5 for less money, and the plan you pick matters as much as the app.

The memory table: what each app remembers, and on which plan

Say you mention on Monday that you fly to Denver on Friday. On Saturday you write “hey,” and her first question is how the flight went. Whether that happens depends on the app and on the plan, so the table gives both. Each line comes from the app’s own pages. Grades are the memory criterion of the rubric; prices are per month, on a yearly plan where the app sells one.

The table draws on OurDream’s page about its memory layers, DarLink’s plan page, Lovescape’s blog post on permanent memory, Swipey’s help center and Candy’s Premium Plus page.

Who still remembers you after a week?

A week means several sessions, so the question is what survives when you close the app. Four apps say so in plain words. OurDream AI lets you pin what must never be lost, a name or a promise, and its automatic layer fills in the rest. Swipey AI’s help center describes memory that carries facts, preferences and moments from one session to the next.

On Swipey, that looks like this. Early on, you tell her you hate mornings and take your coffee black. Three sessions later you complain about Monday, and she asks if you have had the black coffee yet.

Lovescape’s own blog calls its memory permanent on every plan. One subscriber’s verdict lines up with the claim: weeks in, she still remembered what they had talked about. DarLink AI puts memory across sessions on Advanced and above. Nomi and Kindroid, two companion apps known for memory that I do not grade, are compared on their own documentation in the Kindroid and Nomi match-up, and Kindroid’s memory against Candy AI’s pictures is a duel of its own.

The other apps work from a memory window or slots. Girlfriend GPT keeps 8K or 16K of recent conversation in view, depending on the plan. Candy AI gives you 20 slots on Premium Plus to store what matters by hand. CrushOn AI also sells memory by context size, and the CrushOn AI alternatives page sets its plans against seven graded apps.

The winner at each plan level

Under $10 a month: OurDream AI Premium

At $9.99 a month on the yearly plan, OurDream Premium unlocks pinned memories on top of the automatic layer, and it holds the only 9.0. JOI AI (about $4), Swipey AI and Lovescape (both $7.99) sit half a point behind, and each is a fair pick if the budget is tighter. Start OurDream AI Premium.

$20 to $35 a month: OurDream AI Deluxe

OurDream Deluxe costs $29.99 a month on the yearly plan and gives three times the chat memory of Premium, plus 5,000 coins a month, OurDream’s media credits. I paid for Deluxe myself, and over the weeks of my subscription OurDream kept track of our conversations well. People who keep one OurDream character for weeks praise the same two things: the details stick, and her personality does not drift. In the same band, Girlfriend GPT Deluxe ($24.50 yearly) brings 8K memory with voice and calls, Elite ($33 yearly) reaches 16K, and DarLink Advanced ($27.99 monthly) keeps your preferences from session to session. Lovescape’s Creative PRO ($29.99 a month yearly) adds Advanced AI chat memory and 3,000 chips, Lovescape’s media credits. Deluxe wins the band because it starts from the strongest memory grade on the site. Go straight to OurDream Deluxe.

Top of the range: DarLink AI Ultimate

DarLink is the one app that names its top memory tier. Ultimate, at $49.99 a month, brings Living memory, which DarLink describes as persistent and evolving over time for long roleplay, along with unlimited messages and the Elite Roleplay Engine. Pick it if you want memory sold as the headline of the plan. See DarLink’s Ultimate plan.

Memory on the Candy AI account I paid for

My own Candy Premium subscription ran for over two weeks in May 2026, mostly in Romance mode. Romance mode was my favorite part of the app, and memory is what carried it. Plain Premium covered all of that, and the yearly plan prices it at $3.99 a month; Premium Plus is the step up, with 20 memory slots and 330 tokens a month, for anyone who wants to pin details by hand. Try Candy AI’s Romance mode.

The full Candy and OurDream match-up, memory included, is on OurDream vs Candy AI.

Pick the right AI girlfriend for memory

• Pick OurDream AI if you keep one companion for weeks: pinned memories on Premium, triple memory on Deluxe, and the best grade on the site, A at 9.2.
• Pick JOI AI if you want good memory for about $4 a month and Neurons, JOI’s media credits, that roll over. JOI vs OurDream weighs the two.
• Pick Swipey AI if memory matters and so do pictures, with the only 10 for media.
• Pick Lovescape if you want memory on every plan and chips that never expire.
• Pick Girlfriend GPT Deluxe if long replies come first and 8K memory is enough. It also leads the roleplay chatbot ranking on writing.

Final pick

OurDream AI is the companion that remembers you best, and yearly Premium at $9.99 a month is where to start. Move up to Deluxe when your stories run long.

OurDream AI, the only app graded 9.0 for memory on this site. Its four memory layers cover what the app saves by itself, what you pin, the instructions you set and a persona for you. Pinning comes with the paid plan, from $9.99 a month on a yearly plan, and Deluxe at $29.99 a month yearly gives three times the chat memory.

How much does Candy AI remember between chats?

Enough to carry a romance: on my own paid Premium account in May 2026, memory was a big part of why Romance mode felt right. For more control, Premium Plus adds 20 memory slots plus 330 tokens a month. Candy's memory grade is 8.0, and its yearly Premium plan costs $3.99 a month.

What do 8K and 16K memory mean on Girlfriend GPT?

They are the amount of recent conversation Girlfriend GPT keeps in view. Deluxe ($35 a month, or $24.50 on a yearly plan) brings 8K memory along with voice and calls. Elite ($50, or $33 yearly) doubles it to 16K.

DarLink's top memory tier, included in the Ultimate plan at $49.99 a month. DarLink describes it as a persistent memory that evolves over time, for long roleplay.

JOI AI, Swipey AI and Lovescape all grade 8.5 for memory and cost between about $4 and $7.99 a month on yearly plans. JOI advertises an 8,000-message memory, Swipey's help center describes memory across sessions, and Lovescape's blog says memory is permanent on every plan.

Memory features in the table are those each app publishes; the grades come from the published rubric. Candy AI and OurDream AI are the two apps here whose memory I used on my own paid plans.
