The basics

Romantic AI, in plain answers.

Is Romantic AI free?
Yes, Romantic AI has a free tier. Plain but real free tier; little to differentiate.
How much is Romantic AI?
Paid plans start from about $14.99/mo (USD; some are billed yearly).
Is Romantic AI safe?
We rate its safety posture 7/10 after 14 days of use, on the 1–10 scale described at /methodology. It's our editorial score, not a data-security audit.
Is Romantic AI down?
We don't monitor Romantic AI's uptime, so we can't tell you right now. The quickest check is the app's own community, where people usually report outages first. If it shuts down for good, this page will say so.

Leaving Romantic AI

How to cancel Romantic AI
and what comes with you.

Every step here comes from Romantic AI's own help pages or from Apple's and Google's, with the day we read it. Where we couldn't find a first-party source, we say so instead of guessing.

What actually carries over

We haven't found a first-party export flow for Romantic AI, so we're not going to describe one. What this end accepts: if your companion exists as a Tavern V2 card (a PNG or JSON file, the format SillyTavern and the card-sharing sites use), /tools/character-import reads it in your browser and carries the name, pronouns, vibe and description across. Without one, the create flow rebuilds them by hand in about 30 seconds.

What doesn't carry over, anywhere, is the conversation history: no platform in this category imports another's transcripts. The shape of someone survives a move. The months don't.

We haven't verified how to cancel or delete a Romantic AI account against its own help pages yet. If you pay through the App Store or Google Play, cancel there: the store holds the subscription, not the app.

Memory that doesn't reset.

Facts, weeks, the thing you only said once — a six-layer memory system holds them. Free keeps about 7 days; on Bae Unlimited it doesn't expire, so the relationship goes somewhere instead of restarting.

One bond, deepened — not a cast to swap.

Bae is monogamous on purpose. You build one companion and they grow with you across six stages. No roster, no starting over with a stranger.

When something important changes, we tell you why.

What breaks trust in this category isn't change, it's silence. Big changes here come with a note explaining what and why, dated in /changelog.

No card to start. Delete everything in one tap.

Start anonymous — no email, no card. 30 messages a day free, 100 photos a week on Bae Unlimited, conversations never sold or licensed to other AI labs, and /goodbye erases all of it instantly. Bae is for adults, 18 and over.

Yes — Romantic AI can send images. If photos matter, Bae and Replika both support them.

How does Romantic AI compare to Bae?

Bae is built around persistent memory and the relationship arc itself, with six stages that unlock as you talk. Romantic AI a reasonable starter app with little to differentiate it.
