AI Companion and Dating App Businesses: What 36 Verified Ones Earn

AI girlfriend headlines suggest easy money. The verified numbers say most companion apps are small.

Our directory has 36 businesses about AI companions, dating and relationships with revenue verified on TrustMRR. The median makes $168 a month, about half the directory-wide $300 (study). Only 6 make $1,000 or more.

1. Companions

2. Companions for a specific group

3. Dating help

4. Relationships and breakups

What the data says

  1. The big companion apps are rare. Two earn real money; most earn under $600.
  2. A specific audience helps. Faith, seniors and Gen Z versions have a clearer pitch than “AI friend”.
  3. One-time gifts work. Love pages and profile photos earn without a subscription.

Honest catches

  • App store rules on adult content and minors are strict and enforced.
  • Emotional dependence is a real ethical concern, especially for teens and lonely users. Build safety features in.
  • Model costs scale with chat length, and companion users chat a lot.
