AI Girlfriend Base TeamPublished: May 21, 2026·Last Update: May 25, 2026

My Testing Summary

I tested Secret Desires AI for several weeks, diving deep into every feature. In particular, I tested:

• Explored the free plan.
• Upgraded to the Pro ($7.99/month) plan to test all premium features.
• Created multiple custom AI girlfriends.
• Tested all four image models and both video generation options.
• Experimented extensively with the chat settings and voice features.
• Went through the subscription cancellation process.

This hands-on approach gave me a clear picture of where this app shines and where it stumbles.

What Is Secret Desires AI?

Secret Desires AI is an AI girlfriend platform focused on letting you chat with, create, and customize virtual girlfriends. It’s built for users who want control, offering a massive library of pre-made characters and a powerful tool to build your own from scratch.

The core of the app is a deeply customizable chat engine. Beyond talking, you can generate images and short video clips of your AI girlfriend and even hear her speak with voice messages or live calls. While it has premium plans, it stands out by letting you explore a surprising amount for free.

What Do People Say?

On Trustpilot, I found only one suspicious one-star review that looked like a competitor's attack. A Reddit post I found also seemed like promotional sabotage for another app.

I couldn't find any detailed, hands-on user reviews from people who had actually paid for it, which was a key reason I did this review myself.

What I Liked About Secret Desires AI

• Incredibly Generous Free Tier. You can browse every character and create unlimited custom girlfriends without paying a cent. Getting 10-15 free messages per chat is more than most apps offer.
• Powerful Custom Girlfriend Creator. The tool has enough options (like specific body types and personality traits) to be effective without being overwhelming. I was able to create a very specific-looking character easily.
• Strong, Diverse Character Library. The mix of official and community characters means there’s a huge variety. The search and filter system makes it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.
• Surprisingly Good Image Generation. The Monet model is fast, cheap (0.3 hearts), and follows prompts well for NSFW content. The SFW-focused Vermeer model also produced high-quality, consistent images.
• Straightforward Cancellation. Canceling my subscription was simple. The app offered me retention discounts, but there was no pressure or hidden roadblocks.

What I Didn't Like

• Buggy and Unpolished Experience. I encountered navigation errors, internal server faults, and odd chat glitches regularly. The app simply doesn't feel finished.
• Clunky Voice Features. The voice messages and calls sounded like a bad phone connection, with cut-off sentences and merged audio. It's functional but not enjoyable.
• Inconsistent Character Images. Some pre-made character profile pictures had glitched or deformed eyes. The Monet image generator also struggled with perfect facial consistency across multiple images.
• Expensive, Mediocre Videos. The Inferno video model costs 24 hearts for a 5-second clip and still had minor visual glitches. The cheaper Seraph model was borderline unusable, censoring content and having unnatural motion.
• Overwhelming Chat Customization. With 21 different chat models and countless settings, the chat can feel intimidating for beginners who just want to start talking.

My First Impressions

Exploring the Free Plan

Getting started is fast. You can sign up and immediately browse the entire character gallery, including all their photos (even explicit ones).

You can also use the custom girlfriend creator an unlimited number of times for free.

The main paywall hit me while I was chatting. I started a conversation with Dream Harris, a personal trainer, and we had about 15 message exchanges before I was asked to upgrade.

This is a very fair trial that lets you get a real feel for the chat dynamics. The only real surprise was being shown premium plans immediately after account creation, before I'd even seen the app.

Upgrading to a Paid Plan

OK, so the free plan was generous, but I needed to see if the paid features justified a subscription.

I wanted to answer a few key questions:

• Is the chat any good, or is it just a fancy shell?
• How do the image and video generators really stack up?
• Can you overlook the noticeably buggy interface for the features underneath? Here's what I found.

I chose the monthly Pro plan at $7.99 because it unlocked all the core features: images, videos, and voice.

The upgrade process was smooth, and my card was charged discreetly as "Sdai" (note: US users might see "Playhouse Media LLC"). I instantly received my 100 monthly hearts to start using.

Testing Premium Features

1. Secret Desires AI Girls

The character library is a major strength. It’s a large, diverse mix of official characters and user-created community shares. You’ll find a wide range of ages, body types, and ethnicities.

Finding the right one is easy thanks to a robust system where you can filter by hobbies, interests, kinks, or sort by popularity. While I noticed some profile pictures had odd eye glitches, the overall selection and discoverability are excellent.

Bottom line: A deep and varied roster of characters that is easy to navigate and explore.

2. Chatting

This is a chat for users who love control. You can customize everything: occupation, personality, bio, memory settings, and even choose from 21 different AI chat models.

I found the characters stuck to their personas remarkably well. My bossy personal trainer wouldn't break character. It’s geared toward slow-burn roleplay, not instant compliance.

However, the depth can be overwhelming for casual users. I also experienced bugs, like messages appearing as broken image links, and hitting content filters will get your chat shut down with a moderator warning.

Bottom line: Deeply engaging and customizable for experienced users, but buggy and potentially overwhelming for beginners.

3. Generating Images

I was genuinely impressed with the image generation.

Using Dream Harris as my character, I tested all 4 models.

For NSFW content, the Monet model is the star—fast (10 seconds), cheap (0.3 hearts), and great at following prompts.

The main drawback is that Monet isn’t perfect at keeping a face 100% identical across multiple images.

For SFW images, Vermeer delivers high-quality, character-consistent images, though it’s slower (about a minute).

Note: The girls in the pictures below are 2 different characters.

Bottom line: You can get high-quality, prompt-accurate images for a very reasonable cost.

4. Generating Videos

You can turn any image into a 5-8 second clip.

The cheap Seraph model (8 hearts) is fast but terrible; it censored NSFW content from my images and produced glitchy, unnatural motion.

The Inferno model (24 hearts) is better, with improved motion, but it’s still slow (4 minutes) and shows minor lip/eye glitches.

At that price, you only get about four videos per month on the Pro plan.

Bottom line: An expensive, niche feature. Only consider Inferno if you really want short clips, and be prepared for the high heart cost.

5. Voices & Audio

You can play any chat message or get on a live audio call.

In practice, I didn’t enjoy it. The voice quality was poor, reminiscent of a choppy cell phone call, with sentences cutting off or audio tracks overlapping. It works technically, but it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Bottom line: A functional checkbox feature, not a selling point.

6. Creating Custom AI Girlfriend

Your guided step-by-step: style (realistic/anime), physical traits (ethnicity, hair, body type), and personality details.

When I built an Arabic woman with specific features, the generator nailed it. If you don’t like the result, you can regenerate the appearance with new looks until you’re satisfied. It strikes a great balance between depth and usability.

Bottom line: Good custom girlfriend creator. Powerful but not intimidating.

Cost & Pricing

Subscription Plans

Secret Desires AI uses a subscription-plus-hearts system. The subscription unlocks features, and hearts fuel specific actions.

• Pro ($7.99/month): The sweet spot. Includes unlimited messaging, image/video/voice generation, and 100 monthly hearts.
• Ultra ($13.99/month): Adds voice cloning and bumps you to 200 hearts monthly.
• Max ($19.99/month): Includes experimental features and 300 hearts monthly.

I found the Pro plan to be the only necessary one for most users, as it unlocks everything you'd want to test.

Secret Desires Hearts

Hearts are the in-app currency for premium features. Here's how much each feature costs:

• Generate 1 Image: 0.3 - 4 hearts, depending on the model you choose
• Generate 5s Video: 8 - 24 hearts
• Play Voice Message: ~1 heart per 80 words
• Audio Call: 2 hearts per minute

Your subscription gives you a monthly allowance, and you can buy more.

Heart Prices:

• 50 hearts: $4.99
• 100 hearts: $8.99
• 250 hearts: $21.99
• 500 hearts: $39.99
• 1,000 hearts: $69.99

In practice, your 100 Pro-plan hearts go fairly quickly if you use video generation (24 hearts each) heavily. For just chat and images, it's more sustainable. The Monet model at 0.3 hearts per image is a fantastic value.

Who Should Use Secret Desires AI?

This app is a good fit if you:

• Want to extensively try before you buy with a great free tier.
• Love tinkering with deep character and chat customization settings.
• Value high-quality, affordable AI image generation.
• Are on a budget but want robust features (the Pro plan is solid).

Look elsewhere if you:

• Need a polished, bug-free user experience.
• Want simple, plug-and-play chatting without complex settings.
• Prioritize high-quality AI voice or video features.
• Value a strong, visible user community for support.

Final Verdict

Secret Desires AI is the definition of a diamond in the rough. It has a generous free tier, a powerful custom creator, and excellent image generation.

However, you must have a high tolerance for its significant weakness: a buggy, unpolished interface that feels unfinished.

If you're an experienced user who doesn't mind navigating some quirks to access deep customization and great value, this app is absolutely worth your time, especially starting with the Pro plan.

But if a seamless, stable experience is non-negotiable for you, the persistent glitches will likely be a dealbreaker. Try it free, and you'll know very quickly which camp you fall into.
