Best AI Companion App Privacy: Settings You Control
Privacy Scorecard: Four Companion Apps, Five Controls
Every companion app says your chats are safe; almost none show you a switch that proves it. So we ranked them on the privacy controls you can actually see and set.
| Control | GoLove.ai | OurDream | Kindroid | Nomi |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default visibility of characters you create | Private by default (Design with AI) | Not confirmed | Not confirmed — check their site | Not confirmed — check their site |
| Visibility options for group or shared scenes | Private / unlisted / public Scenarios | Not confirmed | Not confirmed — check their site | Not confirmed — check their site |
| Where generated media is stored | Per-character Gallery, sorted by date | Not confirmed | Not confirmed — check their site | Not confirmed — check their site |
| Install footprint | Web and mobile | Browser-only, no native mobile app | Not confirmed — check their site | Not confirmed — check their site |
| Starting price | About $19.99/month PRO (checked 2026-10, varies by region/promo) | From about $19.99/month, or about $9.99/month annual (checked 2026-09) | Not confirmed — check their site | From about $15.99/month (checked 2026-10) |
GoLove.ai is the pick because it leads the three visibility rows, and those rows decide this search. OurDream takes the install row, and Nomi has the lowest listed entry price. (A scorecard where one app wins everything is an ad, not a scorecard.)
You can look around before you hand over anything. Signing up is free, and a character's chat already opens without an account, so you can judge the place before it knows your email.

SEE THE REAL DIFFERENCE
Filtered bots stop. She does not.
- GoLove.ai: characters you create start private, and you choose the visibility settings.
- OurDream: browser-only, with chat, images and video in one subscription.
- Kindroid: listed qualitatively. We could not confirm its visibility controls, so check their site.
- Nomi: listed qualitatively. We could not confirm its visibility controls, so check their site.

The short answer: on GoLove, the privacy decision shows up as a setting inside the app, so you aren't relying on a sentence in a policy. That's why it leads for this query.
Private by Default Beats a Policy Promise
A new character made with Design with AI stays private until you decide otherwise. You can find that control and change it yourself. Kindroid and Nomi both put real effort into custom backstories, but we couldn't confirm who can see those characters, so they rank below.
Where OurDream Holds Its Own
OurDream puts nothing on your phone, which matters if a shared device is your real worry. For the rest of its offer, read our full breakdown of OurDream's plans and memory. (It's a fair #2, not a filler slot.)
Characters and Scenarios: Who Can See What You Build
Characters and Scenarios: Who Can See What You Build
Chat privacy and character visibility are separate questions. Here's how a creation moves through GoLove:
Watch Popular Shows starring your favorite AI characters.
- Create → Design with AI: describe your companion in plain text, up to 2,000 characters.
- Private start: in about a minute you get a named character with an @handle, a bio and a portrait. It cost about 3 Stars when we observed it, and it starts out Private.
- Publishing: making her public and earning Stars through My AI is a separate step you take on purpose.
Design with AI Starts Private
The safe setting is the default, which is the right way round. Kindroid and Nomi both offer custom backstories, but we couldn't confirm what visibility their creations start with. Skip unless you've checked their settings yourself.
Scenarios: Private, Unlisted or Public
Scenarios are group chats with 2 to 10 characters, and each one has its own visibility setting. A scene you wrote for yourself can stay private, an unlisted one can go to a friend, and a public one is open to anyone. (Honestly, having three levels for a group chat is more control than most people would expect.)
Build From a Description, Not a Real Person
Every GoLove companion is either picked from Explore or built from a text description with Design with AI, then you chat with her and generate photos or video of her. Keep it that way: never model a companion on a real person who hasn't agreed to it.
This section is for anyone who builds characters and wants them kept private.
Memory and Gallery: What GoLove.ai Keeps on Purpose
Memory and Gallery: What GoLove.ai Keeps on Purpose
Memory is the feature you want, and it's also the part of the app that holds the most about you.
Memory Remembers Your History
Here's how it plays out. You open the chat after a few days away, and she continues the conversation from where you left it, with no recap needed. That works because GoLove keeps your chat history.
ULTRA's 8,000-Message Memory
Does she remember everything? GoLove remembers your history, and the ULTRA plan lists an 8,000-message smart memory. We could not confirm how long that history is retained. By comparison, OurDream's memory covers recent message history. A longer memory feels more personal, and it also means more of your conversation is stored, so treat it as a trade-off.
Characters you can open right now
Tap any of them and the chat starts there
A Gallery Per Character
Photos you request are saved in that character's own Gallery, sorted by date, and they don't go into a public feed. Everything stays filed under the companion it came from (no hunting through a single shared camera roll).
This is for anyone who wants continuity and wants to know where their media is kept.
Photos and Videos Made for Your Chat, Not a Feed
Photos and Videos Made for Your Chat, Not a Feed
Request a Photo Inside the Chat
- Send Photo: tap the media button and describe the scene in your own words. A photo of the same character arrives in about 20 to 45 seconds and costs 1 Star. Her face and body stay consistent with her avatar and her earlier photos.
One Tap From Photo to Video
- Generate Video: this appears under any photo. You get a clip of about 5 seconds, in about a minute, for 10 Stars.
Sharing Is Something You Choose
- Share link: a Feed clip only gets a link when you tap share. Clips you liked are saved in your own Liked tab.
OurDream also bundles media into its plan, but images and video there draw on a separate DreamCoins balance. GoLove's per-item Star costs are easier to read.
If you'd like to look before you commit, try Series: Netflix-style short 18+ shows starring GoLove characters. Episodes 1 and 2 of every series are free to watch. When an episode ends, you can start chatting with the cast and ask them for private photos.
MEET YOUR AI COMPANION
Hundreds of characters, one that fits you.
That first photo request costs 1 Star, and the result is filed straight into her private Gallery.
OurDream, Kindroid and Nomi: Where the Rivals Stand
OurDream, Kindroid and Nomi: Where the Rivals Stand
On GoLove.ai, the order that works:
- Pick a character — or build one to your taste
- Say something real: she remembers your chat history
- Open Chat Settings: pick her voice, lust level and reply length
- Ask her for a photo in the chat
- Want a set pose or outfit? The image generator has 35 realistic poses and 21 outfits
OurDream's Browser-Only Advantage
OurDream pros:
- Browser-only: nothing to install, so there's no icon on your home screen.
- Chat, images and video are bundled in one subscription.
- About $9.99/month on an annual plan (checked 2026-09).
OurDream cons:
- Its custom character builder has a steeper setup curve.
- Memory covers recent message history.
- DreamCoins: media uses a separate coin balance.
GoLove.ai, for comparison: characters start private, Scenarios can be private, unlisted or public, each character has her own Gallery, and the history-based memory reaches 8,000 messages on ULTRA. The trade-off is that it isn't browser-only. If you need zero install, OurDream wins that point cleanly.
What We Could Confirm About Kindroid and Nomi
We could not confirm visibility controls for characters or group scenes on either app. Both offer group chats (Kindroid calls its shared spaces Rooms), custom backstories and long-term memory. Nomi has a limited free tier, and its starting price is in the scorecard above. Kindroid has no free tier, and we couldn't confirm its pricing, so check their site. (Neither looks underbaked; we just couldn't confirm the controls.)
This is for readers choosing between a zero install and settings they can control.
What the Privacy Controls Cost: PRO, ULTRA and Stars
What the Privacy Controls Cost: PRO, ULTRA and Stars
All prices are approximate, checked 2026-10, and vary by region and promo:
- PRO: about $19.99/month or $119.88/year. Includes all NSFW content, character creation, unlimited Feed, image generation and 100 Stars a month.
- ULTRA: about $59.99/month or $359.88/year. Adds more monthly Stars, the 8,000-message memory, more powerful models, priority creation and a discount on Star refills.
- Star packs: from about $9.99 for 30 Stars to $299.99 for 3,000. 1 Star buys 1 image, and 5 Stars buy 1 video.
- Free: 2 daily reward Stars, a limited daily Feed, and episodes 1 and 2 of every Series.
OurDream's price matches at about $19.99/month, but its media spending comes out of DreamCoins on top of the plan.
PRO Covers Most Privacy-Minded Users
Private-by-default characters, Scenario visibility settings and per-character Galleries are all available on PRO. For most people, PRO does the job.
When ULTRA Earns Its Price
Upgrade if you want the 8,000-message memory, the more powerful AI models or priority creation. (Paying three times as much for memory is a lot, so skip unless continuity is the reason you're here.)
PRO is for most readers; ULTRA is for people who value long memory.

Private Defaults vs Browser-Only: The Scorecard Re-Read
Back to the rows that decided the ranking:
- Default visibility: GoLove is private by default. We could not confirm OurDream's default.
- Scene visibility options: GoLove offers private, unlisted or public.
- Install footprint: OurDream wins.
- Price: both start from about $19.99/month.
Pick OurDream if keeping nothing installed matters most to you. Pick GoLove.ai if you want to control who sees what you build, while also getting memory, in-chat photos, photo-to-video and Series stars you can chat with afterwards.
Who GoLove.ai Is Not For
Skip it if you want a fully free, unlimited app, need an app you can verify through an app store, or are really looking for a human relationship.
For everyone else, GoLove.ai is the pick. It leads the visibility rows that this search is about.
A new Design with AI character starts private and takes about a minute to make. Build one and decide later whether anyone else ever sees her.
