About AIGF Ranked
The one-line version: AIGF Ranked is a competitive tier list for AI girlfriend apps, run and paid for by the team behind Swipey AI, with that bias printed on every page so you can check the grading instead of trusting the commentary.
Most ranking sites in this category won't tell you who pays for the servers. We put it in the banner. This board exists to seed our own app, Swipey AI, against every serious contender of 2026, grade the whole field S through C on a public rubric, and let the stat sheet do the talking. Where a rival takes a stat, the board says so, because a leaderboard where the home team never drops a game isn't a leaderboard.
How the board works
The short version of the ruleset: we play every app on the board, line the stats up, and grade editorially against four criteria: feature loadout, conversation quality, content rules and entry cost. No aggregated review stars, no invented testing statistics, no fabricated testimonials. The full rubric is written out in our S-tier criteria explainer.
Hands-on grading
Every app gets played before it gets graded, against the same scenarios. Tiers and scores are our editorial judgments and are labeled as ours everywhere they appear.
Re-grade cadence
The board is re-run against each platform's public features and policies at least quarterly. Every page carries its own updated stamp.
Corrections
Spot a bad stat in a rival's row? Email contact@aigfranked.com. We verify against the platform's own site and patch it in the next update.
Comments
Comments on the board and articles are visitor-submitted and moderated. We never seed fake user comments, ratings or personas; editorial annotations are labeled as ours.
Who we are
The AIGF Ranked Editorial Team, operated by the team behind Swipey AI. That's the full roster: no invented casters, no stock-photo staff bios. Ownership disclosure, plainly worded: this site is owned and operated by the team behind Swipey AI. We rank our own product #1. This is a comparison of how we stack up against alternatives, not an independent review.

Part of a network
AIGF Ranked is one of ten owned comparison sites in the Companion Review Collective, a network operated by the team behind Swipey AI. Each site grades the same field from a different angle: tier lists, spec-sheet head-to-heads, lab-style testing. The angle changes; the ownership and the disclosure do not. You can see all ten on our partners page.
Why trust a board owned by a player?
Fair challenge. The honest answer: don't trust it, check it. Three things make that possible.
- The rubric is public. The four criteria and their weights are on the homepage and spelled out in full on the blog, so you can re-grade the field yourself and see where you land.
- We concede stats on the record. Candy AI takes image-generation gold, Character.AI takes free tier and library size, Nomi takes memory. Those losses are printed on our own board.
- Every stat is checkable. Rival rows reflect each platform's publicly stated features and policies, and the screenshots on our pages are real captures with dates. Wrong stat? The corrections inbox is one click away.
