How I Check Joi AI and Its Alternatives

The sources, labels and dates behind every comparison here. Vendor pages first, reported prices marked, no invented tests.

Ask AI about this research

In short

  • Vendor pages first: terms, refund and privacy policies, help centers, age-check pages.
  • Joi publishes no prices, so its prices are labelled “reported”, “before tax” and “varies by region”.
  • Every figure is dated; I re-check monthly.
  • No star ratings, no invented tests; naughti.ai gets the same treatment.

Step 1: which searches and apps

The keyword data

On 9 November 2026 I pulled Google Keyword Planner volumes for the United States and Google Trends for the past 12 months. “joi ai” sits at 10,000 to 100,000 searches a month and “joi.com” at 1,000 to 10,000; “joi spicy”, “joi ai free”, “is joi ai free”, “joi ai review”, “joi ai girlfriend” and “joi ai reddit” each sit at 100 to 1,000. Trends shows steady interest all year.

The apps

I compare the apps that share Joi’s audience and are partners of this site: Secrets AI, OurDream AI, Nectar AI, Xotic AI and GoLove AI, plus naughti.ai and Candy AI as a head-to-head.

Step 2: reading the vendor’s pages

What I readFor
Terms of serviceOperator, payments, Neurons, disputes
Refund pageRefund cases, cancellation, chargebacks
Privacy policyData use, partners, rights
Help centerFree allowance, rollover, age checks
Safety and about pagesModeration, company stance

Step 3: labelling what is not official

Reported figures

Figures from named third-party reviews carry “reported” and the source’s date.

Conflicts

When sources disagree, as with Joi’s monthly price ($9.99 to $18.99 across sites), I show the best-documented figure and say that others exist.

Conversions

naughti.ai and Candy AI prices are in euros; I convert at the ECB rate (1.1165 on 6 November 2026) and mark them with ≈.

Step 4: reviews and complaints

I record Trustpilot score, review count, whether the profile is claimed or merged, and recent themes in my own words. Reddit threads about Joi were not findable, so I say so rather than guess.

What I do not do

  • Invent tests, ratings, quotes or user counts.
  • Rank naughti.ai first because of a score: it is first because this site is made by the naughti.ai team.
  • Cover login, outages, app downloads, promo codes or free-Neuron codes.

Method: FAQ

  • Why are Joi AI prices marked reported?

    Because Joi publishes no price list; its terms say prices vary by region, subscription length, character and promotions. I use the most recent named US checkout report (AI Companion Guides, October 2026), add “before tax”, and list conflicting figures from other sources.

  • How do you check Joi's Neuron costs?

    The per-action prices that Joi states itself come from its terms of service (section 3.4, updated 4 June 2026): 4 Neurons per romantic message read, up to 120 per photo, up to 1,900 per video. Pack prices and call costs are third-party reports and marked as such.

  • Do you use the joi.ai or joi.com pages?

    Both. They run the same build under terms that differ only in the domain name, so I cite whichever page states the fact, and note when the two domains present the product differently.

  • How do you handle the many meanings of joi?

    I track only searches for Joi AI, joi.com and the Joi app combined with companion terms. Searches about the Blade Runner character, the JavaScript validation library, Reliance Jio typos or the Assamese phrase are excluded from keyword research.

  • Do you test the apps yourself?

    I read public pages: terms, refund and privacy policies, help-center articles, age-check pages and company records. I do not buy every plan or rate chat quality, so there are no star ratings here and no claims of tests I did not run.

  • How often do you update this site?

    Prices, free tiers, Trustpilot counts and refund rules are re-checked monthly and when a vendor announces a change. Each page shows its last check date in the hero badge.

  • Why is naughti.ai listed first?

    Because this site is made by the naughti.ai team, not because of a score. Every page says so, and naughti.ai gets the same table rows as every other app, weak points included, such as no custom characters and final sales.

Editor, Joi AI Alternatives

I edit this site for the naughti.ai team and read what AI companion apps publish about themselves: terms and refund pages, help-center articles, privacy policies, age-verification pages and company records, plus named outside reviews. Joi AI prices are not public, so I say where each figure comes from and when I saw it. I never describe purchases or tests I did not make, and I point out where naughti.ai is the wrong pick.
