That is Candy AI’s question to answer, and a comparison page that audits a rival’s safety from the outside is guessing. Ours: no photograph of a real person ever enters the generation pipeline, every likeness is synthetic, and the hard safety floors run on every request from every account.

Can I upload a photo to make an AI girlfriend?

Not on Flirtly, and not later either. Uploads are the shortest path to a real person appearing in generated intimate media, so her face is synthetic from the first frame and there is no upload field to find.

Does Flirtly meter messages the way Candy AI meters tokens?

Both products meter. The difference is disclosure: every Flirtly rate is published — 0.1 Sparks a message, and photos and clips at their own printed rates — and the figure sits on the button before the decision, not after it.

Flirtly vs Candy AI

Candy AI is the largest product in this category and the most competent operator in it. It runs a catalogue of a few hundred companions across thirteen languages, and its character pages are the product rather than adverts for it — you land on one and a conversation is already open. If you want the biggest selection of pre-made companions, that is a real reason to pick it, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

Where the two products diverge is metering. Candy sells tokens, and what a token buys is discovered as you spend it: the image button, the video button and the call button each cost a different amount, and the number arrives at the moment of the decision. Flirtly publishes every rate — a message, a voice note, a photo, a second of video — and puts the figure on the button before it is pressed. Same idea, opposite disclosure.

The second difference is memory. Flirtly keeps what she knows about you in a panel you can open, correct, pin or delete. Nothing is built about you somewhere you cannot see it.

What Candy AI does better

Bigger catalogue, thirteen languages, and a signup flow that is genuinely faster than ours.

What we could not establish about Candy AI

These are the rows where the table says "Not established". Each one is something we looked for and could not settle from anything Candy AI publishes.

A memory you can open, correct and delete
Everything Candy AI keeps about you sits behind the account, and we have not held one. Whether what she remembers can be opened and corrected is theirs to answer.
Tonight follows from last night
Candy AI keeps conversations server-side, so something certainly persists between visits. How much of last night reaches tonight is not visible from outside an account.

Is Flirtly a good Candy AI alternative?

It depends which half of Candy AI you came for. Nothing here beats its catalogue, and this page says so. What Flirtly does differently is publish the price of every action before you take it, and keep her memory of you in a panel you can open and correct.

How much does Flirtly cost compared to Candy AI?

Candy AI sells a subscription plus tokens; we link their plan page from the table rather than retyping a number that moves. On Flirtly one balance covers everything she does, at 5 Sparks to the dollar, and the cost of a photo or a clip is printed on the button before you press it.

One balance covers everything she does — messages, her voice, photos and clips. A new photo of her is 2 Sparks; a 5-second clip with sound, 40.

Is there a free version of Flirtly?

Yes. 200 messages, uncensored, with no card and no photo upload — the free wallet is real Sparks at the published rate rather than a trial that expires.
