Secrets AI Tested: An Honest Platform Assessment for 2026
The verdict first: Secrets AI is a capable AI companion platform with a genuine technical advantage in video generation, solid conversation quality, and real privacy protections. Its weaknesses — fast Moments depletion on video, browser-only access, limited character diversity — are real but manageable depending on your use case.
This is a complete assessment after 30 days on the platform across multiple tiers. Facts, ratings, and honest trade-offs.
Note: Secrets AI (secrets.ai) is built by Secret Labs Inc. and is an AI companion platform. "Secret AI" (secretai.io) is an entirely separate product — an offline AI assistant app with no connection to Secrets AI. The similar names cause confusion; make sure you're on the right platform.
What Secrets AI Is
Secrets AI is a web-based AI girlfriend companion platform — a service where users interact with AI characters through text chat, voice, generated images, and video clips. It launched in 2024, is owned by Secret Labs Inc. (incorporated in Dover, Delaware), and had reached over 100,000 users by November 2025.
It competes directly with Character.AI, CrushOn AI, Candy AI, and Replika. Its primary competitive differentiator is video generation — the ability to convert companion images into motion clips, a capability that most competitors do not offer.
Access is entirely browser-based. No iOS app, no Android app, no desktop application.
Features — What You're Getting
Chat Quality
Five AI models are available. Conversation quality is rated 4.4 out of 5 by independent reviewers. The practical experience: the AI asks follow-up questions, revisits topics, and maintains emotional consistency without feeling scripted. It supports casual conversation, romantic exchanges, and explicit roleplay — 100+ pre-built scenarios are included.
Chat is the platform's strongest feature. Natural language processing and deep learning foundations tuned for companion interaction produce responses that feel more engaged than older AI chatbot systems.
For a focused breakdown of NSFW capabilities and roleplay specifics, see the chat guide.
Image and Video Generation
Video generation is the clearest reason to choose Secrets AI over competing platforms. The process: generate or select a companion image, add a text prompt, and a short motion clip renders in approximately 2 minutes.
Short 3-second clips cost around 50 Moments. Full clips cost up to 600 Moments. Video quality is rated 4.1 out of 5 — smooth movement and natural expressions in most outputs, with occasional quality variation on complex prompts.
Image generation uses two models with four presets. Cost: 25-50 Moments per image. Candy AI produces higher-quality images, but Secrets AI's images are competitive for most use cases.
For complete video capability analysis, see the video generator guide.
Voice and Characters
Six voice options for real-time voice calls at 100 Moments per minute. Voice quality rated 4.3 out of 5.
Character library: approximately 94 hyper-realistic female characters plus some anime options. Over 100 fantasy scenarios. Character diversity is a documented weakness — the library skews heavily toward a narrow demographic, rated 3.8 out of 5.
Custom character creation is available. First one free; additional characters cost 1,000-1,500 Moments.
Memory System
The memory system defines the quality difference between tiers:
- Free: Last 2-3 exchanges only — no continuity between sessions
- Lite: ~14 days basic recall
- Plus: ~30 days with topic and tone awareness
- Premium: Unlimited memory with emotional timeline, Time Machine feature, 4x memory access, +60% context length
- Ultimate: Premium capabilities plus 6x memory access, +100% context, group chats, Personas
The Time Machine (Premium+) lets users revisit and branch from past conversation states. This is where the platform's value for long-term companion relationships is concentrated.
Pricing Summary
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Moments/mo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | — | 200 (once) |
| Lite | $5.99 | $4.00/mo | 1,000 |
| Plus | $9.99 | $6.67/mo | 3,000 |
| Premium | $19.99 | $13.33/mo | 8,000 + 10% |
| Ultimate | $39.99 | $26.67/mo | 15,000 + 15% |
Moments are the in-app currency for all media generation and advanced features. Text messages cost 1-2 Moments. Images cost 25-50 Moments. Video clips cost 50-600 Moments. Voice calls cost 100 Moments per minute.

Privacy and Safety
Several genuine protections exist:
- Private Mode — end-to-end encryption per conversation, excludes conversations from AI training
- Anonymous signup — email and password only; no real name, phone, or social media account required
- Discreet billing — charges appear as "Sun Clinical Laboratories"
- Cryptocurrency payments — accepted, minimum $20
- Account deletion — all data removed within 30 days
The documented concern: privacy transparency rating of 2.9 out of 5 (aigirlfriendscout). The platform claims strong security but provides no technical documentation of protocols or verifiable audit results. For most users this is acceptable; for users with high privacy requirements, this gap matters.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Where Secrets AI delivers:
- Video generation — rare among competitors, rated 4.1/5
- Chat quality — consistently rated 4.4/5 across reviewers
- Privacy infrastructure — Private Mode, anonymous signup, discreet billing
- Memory depth at Premium+ tier — emotional timeline with Time Machine is genuinely useful
- Straightforward free tier to evaluate before paying
Where it falls short:
- Moments depletion — heavy video use burns through monthly allocations faster than expected
- No native mobile app — browser-only with no push notifications
- Character diversity — limited variety in the pre-built library
- Privacy documentation — strong claims without verifiable technical backing
- Image quality — good, but below Candy AI's output standard
How It Compares
| Platform | Starting Price | Video Gen | Native App | NSFW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secrets AI | $5.99/mo | Yes | No | Full |
| Candy AI | $12.99/mo | Limited | No | Full |
| CrushOn AI | $5.99/mo | No | No | Zero filter |
| Character.AI | Free | No | Yes | None |
| Janitor AI | Free (BYO API) | No | No | Config |
The two platforms worth comparing most carefully are CrushOn AI (matches on price, surpasses on permissiveness, lacks video) and Candy AI (surpasses on image quality, costs more, video is limited). For users who want video generation as a feature, no mainstream alternative matches Secrets AI.

The Bottom Line
Secrets AI is worth trying for users who want a realistic AI companion experience with visual media generation and care about privacy controls. The free tier is genuinely accessible for evaluation. Plus ($9.99/month) is the practical starting point for regular use.
The platform is not worth it for users who need a native mobile app, want diverse character representation, or find currency-based spending systems frustrating to manage.

FAQ
Yes. No credit card required. The free tier provides 200 one-time Moments, 20 messages per day, 500-character message limits, and memory covering only the last 2-3 exchanges. No image or video generation on free. Sufficient for platform evaluation — not designed as a complete long-term experience.
