Try Secrets AI freeOur verdict
HeyGF keeps pricing simple: every paid tier includes unlimited messages, and the tiers differ only in coins for photos and videos, starting at $9.99 a month. The yearly Casual plan brings it to $8.33 a month, a small saving, and its "Save 44%" badge is measured against a reference price rather than the real monthly plan. Full photo galleries come only with annual plans. The HeyGF pricing guide lists each tier's coins.
Secrets AI costs $9.17 a month yearly or $19.99 monthly and adds what HeyGF lacks: live voice calls, group chats on its top tier and a Lorebook you can edit. Its free plan is 20 messages a day, against HeyGF's 30 with no card needed, though HeyGF keeps photos, videos and 18+ chat for paying users. Refunds are tight on both: HeyGF gives none for part-used periods and treats coin packs as final.
