30 days of independent testing. Full breakdown of image quality, free tier access, NSFW, video generation, memory and real pricing — so you know exactly which platform fits your needs before you spend a cent.
Unlimited NSFW chat, face-consistent image generation and video generation — no account, no credit card, no paywall. The full product is free, not a trial.
V2 photorealistic image engine — the best in the category. Live Action video up to 120 seconds, 100+ characters, voice calls and full NSFW on paid plans.
Both platforms score 8.5/10 on Companaya but for completely different reasons. Selira AI wins on access — genuinely free, no credit card, no sign-up, unlimited NSFW with real image and video generation from day one. Candy AI wins on quality — the V2 photorealistic engine is the best tested in the category, and Live Action video up to 120 seconds is unmatched. The right choice comes down to one question: does the quality gap matter enough to pay for it?

💡 Selira AI wins on total cost — $0 forever. Candy AI wins on quality. If you generate images regularly and quality matters, Candy AI's annual plan at $3.99/mo is competitive — but budget credits separately.
Conversational quality is strong for a free platform. The AI maintains character consistency across sessions and handles emotional and casual exchanges naturally. No content filters in tested sessions.
Specialises in romantic relationship-focused conversations. The AI adapts to preferences and builds memory across sessions. Conversation quality: 4.8/5 — one of the highest tested in the category.
Face-consistent image generation on the free tier — the character looks the same across multiple generation requests. Good quality for zero cost. Video generation included. Below Candy AI's V2 engine on photorealism.
V2 photorealistic engine — best in the category at roughly 80% accuracy in structured testing. Live Action video up to 120 seconds is the longest and highest quality generative video tested. Generation takes 20–30 seconds.
Voice features are limited on the free tier. Session memory is reliable. Cross-session memory for returning users is functional but not the platform's primary strength — it is optimised for image and chat quality.
Voice calls and messaging available on paid plans. Memory tested at approximately 50% cross-session accuracy — functional but not a standout feature. Details mentioned in week 1 are recalled in roughly half of week 4 test scenarios.
Both platforms scored 8.5/10 in our 30-day independent test, but they earn that score in completely different ways. Selira AI is the most accessible NSFW AI companion tested — unlimited chat, image generation and video at zero cost with no account required. It is the correct choice for anyone who wants to experience a full AI companion without paying anything. Candy AI earns its score on quality — the V2 image engine and Live Action video up to 120 seconds are the best tested in the category. The subscription at $3.99–5.99/mo annually is competitive, but the credit system means real costs are higher than they appear for heavy users.
Zero cost, no credit card, no account. Unlimited NSFW chat, face-consistent image generation and video generation from the first session. The full product — not a trial.
