DarLink AI vs TryNectar AI: which AI girlfriend app is better?

Our verdict

These two have the most useful free plans for pictures. TryNectar AI gives 15 messages and 10 image generations every day, with one custom companion and one persona. DarLink AI gives 5 messages and 3 images a day, one character and 5 audio messages, and free users can join public group chats. 18+ content and video on DarLink AI need a subscription.

Once you pay, TryNectar AI is the clearer deal: Premium costs $9.99 month to month or $5 a month on a yearly plan, and adds live calls and group chats. Unlimited messages and video sit in its top tier, and premium memory becomes unavailable after cancelling. DarLink AI shows its subscription price only inside the app. DarLink AI is run by FAMELINK SA in Switzerland; TryNectar AI by Nectar AI, LLC, which does not refund the current period.
