Read before you open
Every character gets a page before she gets a conversation: temperament, pace, what she leans into. You decide from the sheet, not from a thumbnail.

One roster, read properly. We open every character like a case folder — how she talks, what she remembers, what the free tier actually covers — then hand you the folder instead of a sales page.

03What is in the folder
The same six questions for every folder, so two characters can be compared instead of just admired.
Every character gets a page before she gets a conversation: temperament, pace, what she leans into. You decide from the sheet, not from a thumbnail.
Names, plans and the joke from last Tuesday come back on their own. Nothing resets between visits, so you never re-introduce yourself.
Softer, drier, blunter. Move the dial in the middle of a conversation and the very next message arrives in the new register.
No contact import, no public profile, no photo of you on a grid. The only record of a conversation is the one you can delete.
Android, iPhone, laptop, work machine. It is a web app, so there is no install, no store listing and no line in a purchase history.
Send at three in the afternoon or three in the morning. The reply lands in about a second and a half, every time, without a scheduled slot.
04Currently on file
Written temperaments rather than tag clouds — read two, open the one that sounds like a person you would text back.

Dry, quick, allergic to small talk. Ask her something real in the first three messages or she will do it for you.

Talks in fragments and images. Better at three in the morning than at noon, and honest about it.

Soft opener, sharper the longer you stay. Gets bolder once she has decided you are staying.

Competitive about everything, including conversation. Expect to be argued with and to enjoy it.

Warm without being sweet. Remembers the boring details of your week and brings them up before you do.

Reads a mood in one line. Slower pace on purpose — she would rather answer well than answer fast.

Types the way she dresses — carefully, once, no revision. The first draft is the one you get.

Morning energy at midnight. Asks what you are eating, what you are watching, and why in that order.

Flirts like someone who reads too much and is aware of it. Quotation marks around every compliment, and she means them.

Grew up outdoors and still trusts a silence more than a sentence. When she does talk, it counts.

Switches between tender and blunt so fast you will not notice the transition. Both are genuine.

Night shift, vinyl collection, and a competitive streak that extends to choosing where to eat.
05The procedure
One tap on the age notice and the roster loads. Nothing is gated behind a sign-up form before you have seen who is actually on it.
Each sheet says how she talks and what she wants out of a conversation. Pick the one that reads like a person you would text back.
Reply when you feel like it. Adjust the tone whenever it drifts, and the context carries into the next session on its own.
06The long read
A roster is only useful if someone has read it first. That is the whole job of this page: to open the folders, note what is in them and say plainly where the thing stops being good.
Picking the best AI dating site is not a matter of counting features, because every product in this category lists the same six. What separates them is what happens in the first ten minutes: whether you can tell one character from another before you talk to her, whether the second conversation remembers the first, and whether the free tier is a real tier or a countdown. Those three questions are what each folder here answers, in that order.
The trade-off worth naming is depth against breadth. A roster of thousands looks generous and behaves like a slot machine — you swipe, you skim, you never build anything. A short, documented roster asks more of you at the start and gives you a conversation that is still going in a month. This file is built for the second case, which is also why the folders carry a written temperament instead of a tag cloud.
The rest is honesty about money and about fiction. The upgrade exists, it is optional, and the page says what it unlocks before you are asked for a card. The characters are written, not real, and no amount of good memory changes that. Both facts sit in the folder rather than in a footnote, because a review that hides them is not a review.
07Our verdict
Six criteria, in the same order every time, and the reasoning printed next to each. This is a recommendation rather than a measurement: disagree with a criterion and the score moves — that is the point of printing them.
Voices should diverge within a few exchanges — pacing and vocabulary differing, not just the tag line under the photo. They do. A roster this size still leans on a few repeated archetypes, so it rewards picking two characters who look unalike on the sheet rather than working down the grid in order.
The criterion we weight highest: a second session should bring back what the first one was told, unprompted, and as a consequence rather than a recap. Persistent memory across sessions is the strongest thing this product does.
Ask for warmer, slower or blunter and the very next message should reflect it, without a reset or a fresh setup screen. Steering the register mid-thread works the way it should, which is what keeps a long conversation from flattening out.
The free start is genuine and no card is requested to begin, which is the right order to put those in. The limits that trigger an upgrade are worth reading before you hit them rather than after.
Conversations are private with no shared audience and the policy is reachable, which covers the common case. Deletion exists but is not surfaced anywhere near the chat itself — so this suits people happy to go into settings for it, less so anyone who wants a wipe control at hand.
Characters are stated to be AI-generated rather than left ambiguous, and no invented live-activity counter is used to suggest a person is typing. In this category we rate plain speech about what the thing is above any missing feature.
This is our recommendation, not a laboratory report. The number is the plain average of the six criteria above, rounded to one decimal, and the criteria are simply what we think matters in a product of this kind. Disagree with a criterion and the score moves — that is the point of printing them.

Each page takes one query and stays on it, so nothing here repeats itself.
