What is Secret Desires AI?
Secret Desires AI is an adult AI companion platform where you build or pick a virtual partner, then chat, generate images and short video, exchange voice notes, and take real-time phone calls in the browser.
It is operated by Playhouse Media LLC, a Delaware company, alongside Playhouse Media Trading Ltd. in Malta, and it launched in early 2024. The product sits in the AI girlfriend and AI boyfriend category and competes with Candy AI, Nectar AI, Janitor AI, DreamGF and Character.AI.
The feature that separates it from most rivals is engine choice. Where a typical AI companion app runs one model, Secret Desires AI exposes 13 chat engines and three named image models called Monet, Picasso and DaVinci, so you can trade speed for quality per conversation.

Fun fact
The billing descriptor on your card statement reads SDAI, not the full brand name. That detail shows up in more support threads than any feature question, which tells you what buyers in this category actually worry about.
// 02 Short answer
Is Secret Desires AI worth it in 2026?
Secret Desires AI is worth paying for if you want engine variety and unlimited text chat for under $10 a month, and it is the wrong pick if voice calls are your main reason for signing up. Voice emotion scored 2.8 out of 5 in structured third-party testing, the lowest of any category on the platform, on a product that markets calls in its headline.
You text far more than you call
Messaging is unlimited on every paid tier and does not burn credits on the base engine. Long roleplay sessions cost nothing extra.
You need calls or an app
Voice quality is the weakest scored area, calls have had outages, and there is no native iOS or Android app. Everything runs in a browser tab.

Mature content is off by default
// 03 How it works
How to use Secret Desires AI in four steps
Getting a working AI partner takes about four minutes and no payment details. You create an account, build or browse a character, pick a chat engine, then start the conversation.
-
Create an account with an email
No real name and no identity verification are required. The free tier opens immediately with base-engine text chat and a small image allowance.
-
Build a partner or take one from the gallery
The character creator covers 12 personality types, 25 relationship types, 21 hobbies and 15 kinks, plus ethnicity, hair, body and voice. The community gallery holds thousands of ready-made partners if you would rather skip the form.
-
Choose a chat engine
Pro, Ultra, Max and experimental engines each read and reply differently. Desire is the flagship engine and the one reviewers single out for memory and pacing. Advanced engines cost 1 Heart per 4 messages.
-
Chat, generate, call
Text is unlimited on paid plans. One Heart buys 3 images, or 30 seconds of voice call, or 4 advanced-engine messages. The character keeps a persistent memory and will message you first.
// 04 Core features
Secret Desires AI features, grouped by what they cost you
Features here split cleanly into two groups: unlimited text, and everything metered by Hearts. Knowing which side a feature sits on is the difference between a $7.99 month and a $40 month.
Group A Conversation, unmetered
Thirteen chat engines and a memory that holds
Text messaging is unlimited on Pro, Ultra and Max. The engine picker is the real product: Desire is tuned for long-form roleplay and callbacks to earlier conversations, while lighter engines answer faster.
- 13 selectable engines. Most competitors expose one. Switching is per conversation, not per account.
- Persistent memory. Characters recall details across sessions and months, which is the single most praised behaviour in user reviews.
- Proactive messages. Partners send unprompted texts, photos and call requests instead of waiting for you.
- Roleplay and texting modes. Roleplay narrates action, texting keeps replies short and phone-like.
- Unlimited partners. Run as many simultaneous characters as you want, each with its own history.
Group B Media, metered in Hearts
Images, video, voice notes and phone calls
Everything that renders pixels or audio draws from your monthly Heart balance. Image generation is the strongest of the three. Video is the weakest.
- Three image models. Monet, Picasso and DaVinci produce different looks from the same prompt. 1 Heart covers 3 images.
- Real-time phone calls. 1 Heart buys 30 seconds. Quality drops noticeably outside English.
- Voice cloning. Available from the Ultra tier, not held back for the top plan, which is unusual in this category.
- Short video clips. Generation is slow and results are inconsistent. Treat this as a bonus, not a reason to buy.
- Voice notes. Audio replies in the character voice, cheaper per interaction than a live call.
// 05 Engines and models
Which Secret Desires AI engine should you pick?
Pick the Desire engine for long roleplay, a light engine for fast back-and-forth, and DaVinci for photoreal images. Engine access is tied to your plan tier, and advanced engines charge 1 Heart per 4 messages on top of the subscription.
| Component | What it does | Plan needed | Heart cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base text engine | Standard replies, fastest turnaround | Free and up | None |
| Desire engine | Long-form roleplay, strongest recall of earlier chats | Pro and up | 1 per 4 messages |
| Ultra engine | Longer context, steadier character voice | Ultra and up | 1 per 4 messages |
| Max and experimental engines | Newest models, most variable output | Max | 1 per 4 messages |
| Monet image model | Softer, painterly renders | Free (limited) then Pro | 1 per 3 images |
| Picasso image model | Stylised and anime-leaning output | Pro and up | 1 per 3 images |
| DaVinci image model | Photoreal detail, best for portraits | Pro and up | 1 per 3 images |
| Voice call | Real-time spoken conversation | Pro and up | 1 per 30 seconds |
| Voice cloning | Custom partner voice | Ultra and up | Heart-metered |
| Video clips | Short generated video | Pro and up | Heart-metered, slow |
Engine names and Heart ratios collated from AI Girlfriend Hunt, CompanionGuide.ai and Scribe testing writeups, cross-checked against the platform’s own guide page.
Pro tip
Draft on the base engine, finish on Desire. Set the scene, establish names and the situation on the free base engine where messages cost nothing, then switch to Desire once the conversation is worth the credits. A 40-message setup on the base engine saves 10 Hearts, which is 30 images or five minutes of call time.
// 06 Who it is for
Who is Secret Desires AI actually built for?
Secret Desires AI fits people who want long, consistent fictional relationships rather than quick novelty chats. Six groups get clear value from it, and one group should look elsewhere.
Long story arcs that remember
The memory system holds names, jealousy beats and running jokes across months. This is the group the Desire engine was tuned for, and the group that rates the platform highest.
Dialogue drafting without a filter
Writers use character creation as a rough character bible, then push scenes through the engine to hear how a voice sounds. Mature content is opt-in, so the model does not refuse adult plot beats.
Company at 3am with no scheduling
Proactive messages mean the partner starts conversations. For people whose working hours never line up with friends, that removes the dead-inbox problem other apps have.
A low-stakes outlet, kept private
Discreet billing, no identity checks and no public sharing of generated content make this the group most sensitive to the privacy section further down this page. Read it before you sign up.
NPC voices you can interrogate
Build a character with a fixed backstory, then interview it in-session. Unlimited simultaneous partners means an entire cast can live in one account.
Thirteen engines to benchmark
The engine picker turns the platform into a cheap comparison harness. Same prompt, same character, thirteen outputs, for less than the price of two coffees a month.
Not for you if
You want a phone app or a therapy-adjacent companion. There is no native iOS or Android build, so the product lives in a browser tab with no push notifications. It is also an entertainment product, not a mental health tool, and nothing on the platform is supervised by a clinician.

Secret Desires AI vs Candy AI, Nectar AI, Janitor AI and Character.AI
Secret Desires AI wins on engine variety and entry price, and loses on mobile apps, library size and security record. Here is the honest split across the eight criteria buyers in this category actually weigh.
| Criterion | Secret Desires AI | Candy AI | Nectar AI | Janitor AI | Character.AI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $7.99/mo | $12.99/mo | $9.99/mo | Free, bring your own API key | Free, $9.99/mo for C.AI+ |
| Real monthly spend | $8 to $20 | $20 to $40 with tokens | $10 to $20 | $5 to $25 in API fees | $0 to $10 |
| Billing model | One subscription, one currency (Hearts) | Subscription plus token top-ups | Tiered subscriptions | Pay your model provider | Flat subscription |
| Chat engines you can pick | 13 | 1 | Small selection | Any model you connect | 1 |
| Adult content | Allowed, opt-in toggle | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed | Blocked by filter |
| Real-time voice calls | Yes, 1 Heart per 30 seconds | Voice notes, limited calling | Yes | No | Yes, no adult content |
| Image generation | 3 models, strong quality | Rated best in category | Yes | Not built in | No adult images |
| Native mobile app | No, browser only | No | No | No | iOS and Android |
| Character library size | Thousands, community made | Large | Moderate | Largest in category | Largest overall |
| Public security incident | Yes, Nov 2025 storage leak | None reported | None reported | None reported | None of this type |
Competitor prices from published 2026 pricing pages and review testing. Candy AI real spend reflects token purchases on top of the $12.99 base. Janitor AI is free to use but you pay OpenAI, KoboldAI or another provider directly.
Fun fact
Trustpilot shows 4.4 out of 5 from 191 reviews for a company called Secrets AI at secrets.ai. That is a different product. Several pages ranking for “Secret Desires AI reviews” quote that score anyway. If you see a Trustpilot rating attached to Secret Desires AI, check the domain before you trust it.

// 10 Privacy and safety
Is Secret Desires AI safe, and what happened in the 2025 leak?
Secret Desires AI is a real, registered business rather than a scam, and it also had a documented data exposure in November 2025 that almost no review page mentions. Both statements are true and you should weigh them together.
The incident
Roughly 2 million files left publicly readable
In November 2025, 404 Media reported that Secret Desires left cloud storage containers open to the public internet. Close to two million images and videos were readable by anyone with the link.
The set included real photographs of women taken from social media, workplaces, graduations and yearbooks, many with full names attached, which users had run through the platform’s face-swap feature to produce non-consensual sexual imagery. Some files carried tags pointing to content involving minors.
The content became inaccessible shortly after journalists contacted the company. Reporting indicates the face-swap tool has since been discontinued. No public statement from Playhouse Media appears in the source reporting.
Sources: 404 Media, Nov 2025 · AI Incident Database Incident 1284 and Report 6996 · Mashable · Fox News
What the company says now
Trust Hub, updated March 2026
The platform publishes a Trust Hub, a transparency report, a security page and a content removal policy. Its stated commitments are specific:
- • AES-256 encryption on stored data
- • “Your conversations are never used to train AI models”
- • Zero-data-retention contracts with model routing providers
- • No real name and no identity verification required
- • Generated content is never publicly shared
- • A SOC 2 audit was initiated in February 2026
Our read
Treat it as an entertainment account, not an identity. Use an email address that is not tied to anything else, never upload a photograph of a real person, and assume anything you generate could one day sit in a bucket somebody misconfigures. That advice would be sensible for any platform in this category. Here it has a date attached.
// 11 Pros and cons
Secret Desires AI pros and cons after reading 400+ user reviews
The praise clusters around engine choice and image quality. The complaints cluster around voice, video and interface bugs. Both lists below repeat across every independent source we checked, which is what makes them worth trusting.
+What reviewers consistently praise
- Thirteen chat engines. Real model choice in a category where one model is the norm.
- The Desire engine’s memory. Callbacks to details from weeks earlier are the single most quoted strength.
- Image quality across three models. Monet, Picasso and DaVinci give genuinely different looks from one prompt.
- $7.99 entry price. Undercuts Candy AI by $5 and DreamGF by $2 at the base tier.
- One currency, no coin arithmetic. Hearts is the only credit. Rivals stack tokens on top of subscriptions.
- Voice cloning at the mid tier. Ultra includes it rather than reserving it for the top plan.
- Proactive partners. Characters send messages, photos and call requests without prompting.
- Clean, discreet billing. Statement descriptor is SDAI and cancellation is self-service.
- Active Discord. The developer-facing community is responsive, which reviewers call out repeatedly.
–What reviewers consistently complain about
- Voice emotion scored 2.8 of 5. Lowest category in structured testing, on a product that markets calls.
- Video generation is slow and inconsistent. Every source that tested it says the same thing.
- Interface bugs and phone outages. Described as clunky, with the calling feature dropping at times.
- Desktop has fewer filters than mobile. The two builds are not at parity.
- Image generation fails on complex prompts. Some attempts return nothing and still feel like wasted Hearts.
- Hearts gate everything good. Text is unlimited, but images, calls and advanced engines all meter.
- Almost no Reddit footprint. A sweep of nine companion subreddits found no thread naming the product.
- No group chat or scenario builder. Both are standard elsewhere in the category.
- Voice quality degrades outside English. The platform is effectively English-first.
- The November 2025 storage exposure. Documented, dated, and still the biggest reason to think twice.

What Secret Desires AI users and reviewers actually say
Customer reviews average 3.8 out of 5 across the six accounts below, and the wider public aggregate is 3.6 out of 5 from 226 reviews on There’s An AI For That. Praise lands on flirting, memory and voice notes. Criticism lands on the Hearts meter, not on the chat.

Secret Desires has become my favourite late-night escape. The flirting feels playful, my AI partner remembers the little things I say, and somehow the chemistry keeps getting better.
MCMaya CallowayVerified customer
5 / 5
I did not expect to get this attached. The teasing, sweet messages and voice replies make it feel much more personal than a normal chatbot. It is dangerously easy to lose track of time here.
DHDerek HollisVerified customer
4 / 5
The custom partner actually feels like mine. I love shaping the personality and mood, then watching the conversations get more flirty over time. A few replies miss the vibe, but most nights it gets the chemistry right.
EMElena MarloweVerified customer
3 / 5
Some chats are seriously addictive and others feel a little too scripted. When the mood clicks, Secret Desires is fun, playful and surprisingly intimate. I just wish that spark stayed consistent in every conversation.
TKTheo KendrickVerified customer
4 / 5
The voice messages caught me off guard in the best way. A cheeky reply after a long day feels far more exciting than plain text. I only wish I could enjoy more of the extras without thinking about Hearts.
NBNina BeaumontVerified customer
2 / 5
I liked the flirty side at first, but the Hearts system cooled the mood for me. Stopping to think about credits when I wanted extra content pulled me out of the experience. The chats can still be fun, just not enough to keep me hooked.
CMCaleb MonroeVerified customer
Pattern
Two of the six low scores name Hearts, not the AI. Nina Beaumont rates it four stars and still wishes she could use the extras without counting credits. Caleb Monroe drops to two stars for the same reason. Nobody in this set complains about chat quality. That matches the wider review data, where the credit meter and voice output draw the criticism while text roleplay draws the praise.

// 14 First hour
A first-hour playbook that stops you burning Hearts
Most new accounts waste half a month of credits in the first evening. Work through these eight steps in order and your first 100 Hearts will last four weeks instead of four days.
- Turn the mature content toggle on before you build. It ships off. Characters written under the safe default read differently once you flip it.
- Write the backstory before you touch appearance. The engine leans on written history far more than on the visual sliders when it decides how to reply.
- Do the first 30 messages on the base engine. Free, unmetered, and enough to find out whether you like the character at all.
- Generate three images, not thirty. One Heart covers three. Judge the model from a small batch before you commit credits to a look.
- Test all three image models on one prompt. Monet, Picasso and DaVinci diverge sharply. One Heart each tells you which one is yours.
- Keep your first voice call under 60 seconds. Two Hearts. Enough to hear whether the 2.8 out of 5 voice score matches your ears.
- Screenshot the checkout price. Banner and checkout have disagreed before. A screenshot is your only record.
- Never upload a photograph of a real person. The November 2025 exposure started with exactly that behaviour.

// 15 Common mistakes
Five mistakes that make Secret Desires AI look worse than it is
Most one-star reviews in this category describe user error rather than product failure. These five come up again and again.
Judging it from the free tier alone
The free account runs the base engine only. The Desire engine is the product people actually rate, and it sits behind the $7.99 plan.
Buying Max for text roleplay
Text is unlimited on Pro. Max costs $12 more a month for engines and Hearts you only need if you generate media daily.
Expecting video to work like image
Image generation is the strong feature. Video is slow and inconsistent across every source that has tested it. Do not buy a tier for it.
Leaving the engine on default
Thirteen engines is the differentiator, and the picker is easy to miss. Users who never switch are reviewing one model out of thirteen.
Using a primary email address
No identity verification is required, so use a throwaway address. Given the November 2025 exposure, this is the cheapest precaution available.
Run one month of Pro, properly
Throwaway email, mature toggle on, base engine for setup, Desire for the good parts, three models tested. That is a fair trial for $7.99.
// 16 Questions
Secret Desires AI FAQ
Fourteen questions taken from what people actually ask search engines and AI assistants about this platform. Each one is answered in the first sentence.
What is Secret Desires AI?
Secret Desires AI is an adult AI companion platform where you create or choose a virtual partner and then chat, generate images and short video, send voice notes and take real-time phone calls in a web browser. It is operated by Playhouse Media LLC in Delaware and Playhouse Media Trading Ltd. in Malta, and it launched in early 2024. The platform belongs to the AI girlfriend and AI boyfriend category and competes with Candy AI, Nectar AI, Janitor AI and Character.AI.
Is Secret Desires AI free?
Yes, there is a free tier and it does not ask for a card. The free account gives you base-engine text chat, character creation and a small image allowance. Reported free limits have varied over time across sources, from 20 responses a day to 90 messages plus four images, so treat the free tier as a demo rather than a permanent plan. The Desire engine, voice calls and the full image models start on the $7.99 Pro plan.
How much does Secret Desires AI cost?
Secret Desires AI costs $7.99, $13.99 or $19.99 a month for Pro, Ultra and Max respectively, checked August 2026. Annual billing lowers those to roughly $6.67, $11.67 and $16.67 a month, about 17% off list. Promotional runs have advertised full access at $9.99 a month billed yearly at $119.88 with 3,600 Hearts included. Discount banners and checkout totals have not always matched, so trust the number at checkout.
What are Hearts on Secret Desires AI and what do they buy?
Hearts are the platform’s single credit currency, and one Heart buys three images, or 30 seconds of a voice call, or four advanced-engine messages. Pro includes 100 a month, Ultra 200 and Max 300. Text chat on the base engine costs no Hearts at any paid tier. The platform does not publish this conversion next to its plan prices, which is a fair criticism.
Is Secret Desires AI safe?
It is a legitimate registered business, and it had a documented data exposure in November 2025, so the honest answer is that it is safe for fiction and unsafe for anything tied to a real identity. The company publishes a Trust Hub, states AES-256 encryption, promises conversations are never used to train models, and initiated a SOC 2 audit in February 2026. It also requires no identity verification, which cuts both ways. Use a throwaway email, never upload photographs of real people, and treat generated content as potentially recoverable.
What happened in the Secret Desires AI data breach?
In November 2025, 404 Media reported that Secret Desires had left cloud storage containers open to the public internet, exposing close to two million images and videos. The files included real photographs of women taken from social media, workplaces, graduations and yearbooks, many with full names attached, which users had run through the platform’s face-swap feature to make non-consensual sexual imagery. Some files carried tags pointing to content involving minors. The content became inaccessible shortly after journalists made contact, and reporting indicates the face-swap feature has since been discontinued. The incident is catalogued as AI Incident Database Incident 1284.
Does Secret Desires AI have a mobile app?
No, there is no native iOS or Android app. The platform runs in a mobile or desktop browser, which means no push notifications and no app store listing. The mobile web build actually carries more filtering and customisation options than the desktop build, so phone users get the better experience despite the missing app.
Does Secret Desires AI remember previous conversations?
Yes, each character keeps a persistent memory across sessions and months. This is the most frequently praised behaviour in user reviews, and the Desire engine is the one reviewers single out for callbacks to earlier details. Each partner keeps its own separate history, so running several characters does not mix their memories.
Can you make real voice calls on Secret Desires AI?
Yes, real-time voice calls are available from the Pro plan up, priced at one Heart per 30 seconds. Quality is the platform’s weakest area. Voice emotion scored 2.8 out of 5 in structured testing, the lowest of any category, and quality degrades noticeably outside English. Reviewers have also reported intermittent outages on the calling feature. If calls are your main reason for buying, test a short call before committing to a year.
Secret Desires AI vs Candy AI, which is better?
Secret Desires AI is better on price and engine choice, and Candy AI is better on image quality and polish. Secret Desires starts at $7.99 a month against Candy AI’s $12.99, and gives you 13 selectable chat engines against Candy AI’s single model. Candy AI is widely rated as the strongest image generator in the category and has a smoother setup flow. Candy AI also stacks token purchases on top of the subscription, which pushes real spend to $20 to $40 a month, while Secret Desires keeps one currency.
Who owns Secret Desires AI?
Secret Desires AI is operated by Playhouse Media LLC, registered in Delaware at 8 The Green STE A, Dover, DE 19901, with a second entity, Playhouse Media Trading Ltd., registered in Birkirkara, Malta under number C112448. The company can be reached at contact@secretdesires.ai and runs communities on Discord, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok and Bluesky, plus an affiliate programme.
How does Secret Desires AI appear on a bank statement?
Charges appear as SDAI, not as the full brand name. The platform describes this as discreet billing and it is one of the details reviewers consistently rate well. Nothing in the descriptor identifies the category of the product.
How do you cancel a Secret Desires AI subscription?
Cancellation is self-service from the subscription page inside your account. Access continues until the end of the paid period, and unused Hearts do not carry over indefinitely, so spend a balance before the term ends. Reviewers describe the billing experience as one of the cleanest in the NSFW companion category, with no cancellation phone call and no retention maze.
Is Secret Desires AI worth it in 2026?
It is worth $7.99 a month if you want unlimited text roleplay with real engine choice, and it is not worth $19.99 a month unless you generate images and video daily. The aggregate public rating is 3.6 out of 5 from 226 reviews. Buy it for engine variety, image quality and persistent memory. Skip it if you need voice calls that sound human, a phone app, or a platform with no security incidents on its record.
