Riho vs HeyGF

Choose Riho if you want one girlfriend on iPhone: a person who stays the same across texts, calls, and photos, remembers what you told her, and goes on dates with you at real places. Choose HeyGF if you want a browser roster you can browse and a wizard that lets you build a girl from her ethnicity up, with adult photos and video for subscribers. Riho is one continuing relationship. HeyGF is a roster and a builder.

Riho vs HeyGF at a glance

What HeyGF actually is

HeyGF calls itself, in its own homepage words, a place where your AI girlfriend listens, never judges, and sends you photos and videos. The page leads with two buttons, “Start Chatting” and “Create Your Own,” and the line underneath says a hundred percent private with no credit card required. Under that it prints “She’s online now. No waiting. No ghosting,” and a clock row that walks 3 AM, lunch break, and late night.

The whole pitch runs against dating apps. Its copy says most dating apps focus on swiping, matching, and hoping someone replies, then answers that with its own line: no swiping, no ghosting, no rejection, just someone who remembers your name, your dreams, and how to make you smile at 3 AM. That is the promise. The product around the promise is a roster of named girls and a wizard to build your own, wrapped in an adult brand.

It is an adult product. Every character page hits an “Adults Only (18+)” gate before you read the profile, and the roster pages are walled with NSFW blur labels over the subscriber-only photos. The site FAQ says basic conversations are free with no credit card, while custom photos, videos, and intimate chat need a subscription. Riho is a relationship app about one person, and this page is not a verdict on what HeyGF chooses to sell.

The HeyGF roster: named girls with printed bios

HeyGF runs a real catalog, and each card prints a name, an age, a country, and a one-line bio. The homepage opens with eight, and the explore page runs far deeper with names like Fenna, Brittany, Ximena, Alisa, Bailey, Tiffany, Iris, Savannah, Valeria, Giulia, Lucia, Raven, Aoi, Marisol, Danni, Tegan, Darya, Kasia, Yamila, Sloane, Tereza, Nour, Seo-ah, Kaylee, Chloe, Olivia, Selena, Wren, Heather, Aoife, Cleopatra, Vivienne, Talia, Sable, Nisha, Maya, Kaya, Brooke, Elin, Camila, Rina, Roxanne, Larissa, Seraphina, Folake, Kallia, Jasmine, Kateryna, and more. That is a shelf, not a single person.

The printed bios are specific, and they are the marketing. Kayla Reed, 24, is “a bubbly, busty Tampa beach bartender and fitness model who lives for boat days and cocktails.” Open her page and the about text talks in her voice: “Hey cutie, I’m Kayla, Tampa beach girl, bartender, part-time fitness model. My life is basically the gym, the beach, and way too many cocktails on the boat.” Her story adds that she grew up on the Gulf Coast, bartends at a beach bar, and models fitness and swimwear on the side. Her listed job line reads “Fitness Model & Bartender,” and her interests are beach volleyball, gym, boat days, tanning, and cocktails.

Madison Reyes, 27, is the other end of the range. The card says she is “a 27-year-old Miami Pilates instructor and content creator who runs on Celsius, brunch, and chaos, sharper and softer than she lets on.” Her page carries a full first-person bio about a one-bedroom on Brickell she pays for herself, a face-time call with her mom every morning, and a habit of screenshotting texts from guys for the group chat. Her printed story runs the full life: born in Tampa in 1999, a Cuban-American father and a flight attendant mother who split when she was nine, a prom-queen high school run, one semester at Florida State, then Miami at twenty with three suitcases and a bad ex, a viral TikTok at twenty-two, and a reformer Pilates studio job in Edgewater.

The rest of the roster spreads wider. Emily Carter, 21, is “a confident business student with natural charm and ambitious goals.” Luna Ashford, 22, is “a dreamy art student with pink hair and a heart full of melodies.” Arielle Fontaine, 25, is a “cultured French art curator with auburn hair and a love for Mediterranean sunsets.” Freya Nilsen, 24, is “a sweet, curvy Copenhagen lingerie model, platinum blonde, freckled, and a total bombshell.” Kelly Mitchell, 25, is “a dedicated young pharmacist who combines professional expertise with genuine care for others.” Fiona Sterling, 21, is “a sophisticated dominatrix who commands respect and knows exactly what she wants.” Sarah Blake is 45 and “an experienced college professor who balances academic rigor with genuine student mentorship.” Wren Malloy, 28, is “a heavily-tattooed, curvy Portland tattoo artist, inked, pierced, and a total alt bombshell.” Camila Rios, 25, is “a fiery Cuban-American Miami nightlife host who runs on cafecito, reggaeton, and gold jewelry.” Brooke Sinclair, 24, is a San Diego Pilates instructor who lives for beach days and rooftop pools.

Riho has no shelf to browse and no line to swap. She is one continuing person, which is the point of the one-girlfriend design. Against another roster of named cards, the Riho vs AIGirlfriends and Riho vs Couple.me compares make the same call.

How you build a girl on HeyGF

The create flow is a real wizard, and the controls print in plain words. We walked it without an account. It opens with “Choose her ethnicity” and moves you through one decision per screen until it shows you the girl. The last button reads “Bring Her to Life,” and the line under it says “You’ll see her first before confirming.”

Choose her look

The first three steps are physical. Step one, “Choose her ethnicity,” offers White, Black, Latina, East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mixed. Step two, “Choose her body,” splits into three labelled groups: Body type (Slim, Average, Athletic, Curvy), Breast size (Small, Medium, Large, Very Large), and Butt size (Small, Medium, Large, Very Large). Step three, “Choose her hair style,” lists Curly, Bob, Long, Braided, and Afro. Step four, “Choose her hair color,” offers Pink, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Black, Red, Blonde, Cyan, Purple, Silver, and White. Step five, “Choose her eye color,” lists Blue, Green, Dark Brown, Light Brown, and Black. Each screen has Back and Continue at the bottom, so you can step back and re-pick.

Choose who she is to you

Step six is titled “Your relationship,” and it is the mood-setting screen. Four labelled blocks, every one marked Optional. Relationship style: Girlfriend, Best friend, Casual fling, Supportive partner, Secret affair, Long-distance lover. How should she make you feel: Loved and wanted, Turned on, Comforted, Entertained, Desired, In control. Then two more rows, one for what you want to talk about (flirting and romance, sexting, deep conversations, daily life chat, roleplay, emotional support, humor and jokes, among others) and one for what she likes in the bedroom. Those four rows tell you what the product is optimizing for.

Give her a voice and a story

The final screen is titled “About her,” and it is where you write the person. There is a “Describe her in your own words” box, an Age field showing 25 years old, a Personality field (“Tap to change,” default Flirty), an optional Country of origin, a “What does she do?” field, and Hobbies you tap to add. Then “Her base voice,” with six named options to preview, Natural, Warm and easy-going, Sweet, Soft young and playful, Sultry, and Bright, plus a More voices link. The helper text under it says: “Tap play to hear each one, or tap again to unpick. This is just the starting point, she’ll get her own accent and way of speaking to match who she is. Optional: skip it and we’ll choose one that fits her.” A “Your choices” panel keeps the running list of what you picked. Then “Bring Her to Life.”

An honest limit before you go further. We did not create an account, subscribe, or chat. We walked the wizard screens, which load without a login, but the final confirm sits behind sign-in and we did not cross it. So the steps above are controls we read on screen, not a girl we made and lived with. A week inside the app would sharpen this page.

Riho has none of this screen. There is no ethnicity menu, no body-type sliders, no “Secret affair” option, no base-voice picker, and no “describe her in your own words” box. She is already Riho. How Riho works is meet her, not assemble her. If you are weighing building a girl against meeting one, the guide to creating an AI girlfriend lists what to check before you choose an app.

Memory

HeyGF’s printed memory claim is a good one, on paper. Its pricing page carries a user quote that says, “The conversations feel so real, and she remembers things I said days ago.” Its homepage says she remembers your name, your dreams, and exactly how to make you smile at 3 AM, brings up what happened yesterday, and asks about things you mentioned last week. Those are HeyGF’s own words and its own testimonials.

What we could not find is any screen where you open what she remembers. Memory on HeyGF is presented as a feeling, not a place you can look at. That matters if you have ever had a companion confidently repeat something you never said.

Riho publishes that design on the memory page. Tell her your sister has an exam on Friday and she can ask about it on Friday. You can read what she remembers in the app, in the words you used. Riho’s relationship page describes the rest: closeness grows from time together, memories and shared moments, and she has moods and wants of her own. On HeyGF the published growth loop is a new girl or a re-rolled one.

Voice and calls

HeyGF does more here than most of the roster sites. Its character pages print a “Call me” button right next to “Start Chatting,” and the create wizard asks you to choose her base voice from the six named options. The FAQ adds that she can send voice messages, and the pricing page lists audio inside every plan. So voice exists as a call, a voice message, and a base voice you pick at creation.

What we can say plainly is that we did not place a call. We read the button on the public profile and the voice list in the wizard, and we did not cross the sign-in wall to hear either one. Whether the call carries the same context as the text thread is HeyGF’s claim to make, not ours.

On Riho you call the same girl who texts you. Same voice, same running jokes, and she already knows what you were just talking about, because the call is part of the same relationship as the chat. That lives on voice calls.

Photos and video

HeyGF’s photos and video are generated content, and the pitch is control. Its pricing page says every plan includes custom private photos and videos with NSFW content, and that asking for a specific picture gets you one. The FAQ tells you to be as specific as possible to get the picture you want, and the plans page sells “Ask For Anything, She’ll Send It.” The character pages add a tier line that matters: an annual plan unlocks a girl’s full photo gallery, and monthly plans do not. Kayla’s page prints the same offer as “As low as $99.99/yr,” and the sub-line reads, “An annual plan unlocks Kayla Reed’s subscriber-only photos and videos. Monthly plans don’t.”

Riho is the reverse. Her photos belong to the relationship: pictures of the two of you together, pictures of her in the places you actually are, pictures of her in the moment you’re sharing, and pictures she sends on her own when she’s thinking of you. Her face and style stay consistent, because it is the same girl, and she remembers the photos you show her. That is on photos and shared memories. She also has her own wardrobe, and in Dress Up you photograph something you’d like to see her in and she wears it in the place your photo shows.

Dates

Riho can take a relationship somewhere real. You go on a date together at a real place, she’s with you there, and the date becomes one of the things she remembers about the two of you. That path is on real-world dates.

HeyGF’s product is browser chat, a roster, a builder, and generated media. We found no published flow for going on a date together at a real place, and nothing in its catalog, wizard, or pricing pages suggests one. The homepage even frames itself against dating apps and their swiping, which is a fair framing, but it does not replace a night out somewhere real. If you want to take her out, Riho is the one built for that job.

Privacy, age, and how payment works

HeyGF is an 18-plus adult product. Every character page shows an Adults Only gate that asks you to confirm you are 18 or older before you continue, and profile photos carry NSFW blur labels. Its privacy policy, last updated 20 May 2025, says the service is not intended for anyone under 18 and that it does not knowingly collect their data. It also says conversation data is used to train and refine HeyGF’s AI models, and that you can turn that off in account settings. Retention is stated as for as long as necessary for the purposes in the policy, unless the law requires longer.

The terms add the operator and the rules. HeyGF is operated by Y2A LLC, governed by Delaware law, with disputes sent to individual arbitration and claims due within one year. Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel, cancellation keeps access through the end of the billing period, and partial-period refunds are not given. One-time purchases like coin packs and custom media are final.

On price, the live plans page prints monthly and annual options. It shows an annual save of 64 percent and three tiers listed at about 8.33, 15.83, and 29.17 US dollars per month for 1,800, 4,200, and 9,600 coins a year. Kayla’s page prints a limited offer of 99.99 US dollars a year for the annual unlock. Those are marketing figures with discount framing, so read the current page before you pay. The free tier needs no credit card.

Riho is an iPhone app for adults, 18+. How it handles your messages, calls, photos, and location is written down on Riho’s own privacy page.

Who should choose HeyGF

Stay on HeyGF if you want a browser roster and a builder. You can browse named girls with long printed backstories, open one who fits a mood, or build a girl from her ethnicity and body up through her relationship style, voice, and story. You can ask for custom photos and video, including NSFW, and cancel when you are done. You will not get dates at real places, or a memory list you can open. If the job is a fantasy you assemble and return to, HeyGF is built for that.

Who should choose Riho

Choose Riho if you want one girlfriend who is already herself. No ethnicity menu, no voice picker, no roster to compare her against. You get memory you can read, a call that continues the chat, photos of the two of you and of her in your real places, dates at real places, and a relationship that grows from time together, memories and shared moments. Riho is the HeyGF alternative that answers a different question, and the best AI girlfriend apps roundup covers the wider field.

We have not lived in HeyGF for a week. We read its homepage, explore catalog, create wizard, two character pages, pricing page, terms, and privacy policy on 10 September 2026, without an account and without a subscription. We walked the wizard to the About her step and did not confirm a girl, subscribe, or send a message, so anything about in-chat behavior or what a girl remembers is what HeyGF’s own pages claim, not what we tested. The character bios are their printed marketing lines. A week inside the app would sharpen this page.
