The platform
What is OurDream AI?
OurDream AI — also written OurDreamAI, Our Dream AI, or by its address ourdream.ai — is an adults-only AI companion platform operated by Dream Studio USA, Inc. and live since 2024. You build a character by setting appearance, personality, voice and backstory, then talk to them through text and voice while the platform generates images and short video on request.
It competes in the uncensored tier rather than the general-assistant tier. The comparison people usually make is against Candy AI, Replika and Character AI, and the practical difference is content policy and media generation rather than raw conversation quality.
Signing up is free and takes under two minutes, with starter DreamCoins on email confirmation — enough to judge image quality before spending anything.
Art styles
Photorealistic or anime — your choice
The same character system drives both. Pick a look when you create a companion, and every image generated afterwards stays consistent with it.
Getting started
Start in three steps
Under two minutes from here to a first conversation. Free, no card details, and you will confirm you are 18 or over.
-
01
Create a free account
Sign up with an email address — no card at this stage. New accounts receive starter DreamCoins.
-
02
Build or adopt a character
Configure one from scratch, or pick from the library and adjust. Settings can change later; deeper personality edits take a few sessions to settle.
-
03
Test before you spend
Spend the free coins on a few images and one short video if you plan to use it. Watch how fast the balance drops — that tells you which plan you need.
Why people choose OurDream AI
Memory that lasts
Characters keep context between sessions instead of resetting each chat.
Images and video in chat
Ask a character for a picture mid-conversation. Video comes in short clips.
Deep customisation
Appearance, personality, occupation, voice and backstory are all yours to set.
Free to start
No card details at signup, and starter coins to test the quality first.
What your coins actually buy
Every output below is generated on the platform. The label is what it costs from your balance.
Who it suits
Who OurDream AI is built for
Being specific about fit is more useful than claiming it suits everyone. It does not.
Long-running companion chat
If you want a character you talk to over months and who remembers the thread, persistent memory is the reason to pick this over most competitors.
Roleplay and collaborative fiction
Scenario-driven storytelling with a character that holds its persona. Writers get the most out of the tone controls and group chats.
Visual character creation
If seeing your character matters as much as talking to them, integrated image generation is the differentiator. Budget DreamCoins accordingly.
Adults wanting an uncensored platform
The content policy is permissive by design on the web version and the Android APK. Store builds apply mandated filtering.
Not a fit: therapy or crisis support
This is entertainment software. It is not a mental health service and should not replace professional support or human relationships.
Not a fit: safe-for-work companionship
If you want a companion app with strict content boundaries, Replika is the closer match. Choosing this for that use case will not go how you want.
Customization
Shape every detail
Character configuration is where OurDream AI offers the most control. These are the axes that actually change how a character behaves.
-
01
Appearance
Physical attributes, style and overall look. This is also what the image generator anchors to, so a character stays visually consistent instead of redrawing differently each time.
-
02
Personality and worldview
Traits, temperament, values and outlook. This affects conversation quality more than appearance does, and it is the setting new users most under-invest in.
-
03
Occupation and backstory
A written history the character treats as their own. Combined with persistent memory, this is what makes long conversations feel continuous rather than repetitive.
-
04
Voice and delivery
Voice selection with modulation, so audio replies match the personality you configured rather than defaulting to one generic read.

Comparison
Comparing the leading AI companions
Where OurDream AI sits against the three platforms people weigh it against most often. Cells left as "unclear" are ones we could not verify — a gap is more useful than a guess.
| OurDream AI | Candy AI | Replika | Character AI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Content policy | Uncensored | Uncensored | Safe-for-work only | Filtered |
| Image generation | Yes | Yes | Limited | No |
| Video generation | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Voice calls | Yes | Unclear | No | No |
| Long-term memory | Yes | Limited | Yes | Unclear |
| Media credits in plan | 1,000 / month | Sold separately | Not offered | Not offered |
OurDream AI argues its higher headline price nets out cheaper because rival platforms commonly charge for media credits on top of the subscription. That is their position, and it holds only if you actually generate media — a chat-only user pays more here.
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Memory persists between sessions instead of resetting each chat
- Image and video generation both included in the subscription, not sold as an add-on
- Realistic and anime art styles from the same character system
- Voice calls and group chats, which most rivals in this tier do not offer
- Free account with starter coins and no card details at signup
Trade-offs
- Media generation runs on a consumable balance, so monthly spend is hard to predict
- Video costs 100–300 coins a clip, against 10 for a still — heavy video use empties the allowance fast
- The annual plan is much cheaper per month but commits you for twelve months
- App-store builds are content-filtered; uncensored use needs the browser or the APK
- Chat-only users get less from the included credits than the price suggests
Work out your real monthly cost
The plan price is the smaller half of the bill for anyone generating media. Set your usage and see the day your allowance empties.
Your monthly usage
Text chat is not counted. It carries no coin cost on a paid plan.
Result
Coin packs cost less per coin at larger sizes, so the cheapest route is not always the smallest top-up. The table already accounts for that.
How the arithmetic works
Nothing here is estimated. Every figure comes from the published DreamCoin rates and the plan allowances, and the calculator does the same sum you would do on paper.
What each action costs
What each plan includes
Why the day matters more than the total
A monthly total hides the thing that actually catches people out. The allowance does not stretch — it empties. If you generate five long clips in the first week, the coins are gone by day nine and everything after that is a top-up you did not plan for. The strip above shows that date because it is the number that changes behaviour.

Safety, privacy and billing
Adults only, verified at signup
Restricted to users aged 18 and over, with age verification at registration. Content beyond the base experience is gated behind that check.
Read the privacy policy yourself
The platform states conversations are encrypted and not sold to advertisers. This is an adult service handling intimate content — read the retention and deletion terms directly, not any summary, including this one.
Billing and cancellation
Charges appear under a neutral studio descriptor rather than the platform name. Check the renewal date, refund policy and how to cancel first. Cryptocurrency payments are final.
Entertainment, not a relationship service
AI companions are entertainment software. They are not a substitute for human relationships and they are not mental health care. If you are struggling, speak to a qualified professional.
Questions
Are conversations private?
The platform states that chats are end-to-end encrypted, so messages are protected from the moment they leave your device and are not readable by staff. Because this is an adult service handling intimate content, read the privacy policy and the data deletion terms on the official site directly rather than relying on any third-party summary, including this one.
How many characters are there?
The platform reports over 11 million characters and more than 10 million users, with roughly 7 million of those characters created by the community rather than by the platform. You can browse and adopt any of them, or build one from scratch and set appearance, personality, voice and backstory yourself.
What content is not allowed?
The platform prohibits any content involving minors, including characters that appear underage, and bans deepfakes or lookalikes of real people including celebrities. Moderation systems check for violations and accounts that break these rules can be suspended. Characters are meant to be original creations, not reproductions of real humans.
Why does it cost more than some rivals?
The subscription includes 1,000 DreamCoins a month covering images, voice and video, where several competing platforms sell media credits separately on top of the plan fee. Whether that works out cheaper depends entirely on how much you generate: heavy media users tend to come out ahead, and chat-only users pay for an allowance they never spend.
Is OurDream the same as OurDreamAI and ourdream.ai?
Yes — OurDream, OurDream AI, OurDreamAI and ourdream.ai all refer to the same platform, operated by Dream Studio USA, Inc. The official address is ourdream.ai. Other domains using the OurDream name are not affiliated with the platform, so if you are looking for the real service, check the address bar.
Does text chat use DreamCoins?
No. On a paid plan, text conversation carries no coin cost. Coins are consumed by generation — images, voice and video. This is why two people on the same plan can have wildly different bills.
Why is video so much more expensive?
A clip costs between 100 and 300 coins depending on length, against 10 for a still image. One long clip costs roughly the same as thirty images. If you generate video regularly it will be the single largest line in your bill.
Is the annual plan always cheaper?
For the subscription itself, yes — $9.99 a month billed yearly against $19.99 billed monthly, for an identical feature set and the same 1,000 coin allowance. But it locks in twelve months.
Do prices change by country?
The platform bills in US dollars everywhere. Your bank applies its own conversion and may add a foreign transaction fee, so the amount leaving your account can differ from the figure shown here.
Can I test my burn rate before paying?
Yes, and it is the single most useful thing you can do. A free account receives starter coins on email confirmation. Spend them the way you actually intend to use the platform, then come back with a real number instead of a guess.
Try it before you pay
Spend the starter coins the way you actually intend to use the platform. That single test predicts your real monthly cost better than any table.
