Secrets AI Review 2026: Two Weeks With the Companion That Lets You Edit What It Remembers

Three free evenings, then a card: how the Secrets AI month started

The onboarding is the shortest I have been through. An age confirmation, an email, a username, a password, and I was in. There is a Google or Apple login if you want one, and I did not. Nothing asked for a name, nothing asked for a phone number, and the policy’s wording about what you may provide turns out to describe a field nobody makes you fill.

What twenty messages a day is actually good for

Twenty of your own messages a day is not a relationship, and I would not pretend otherwise. It is, however, exactly enough to answer the only question worth asking before you spend money: does this companion write in a voice I want to come back to? Three evenings at that limit gave me about sixty exchanges, which is enough to see whether replies are varied, whether they stay in character, and whether the warmth is the sort that listens or the sort that performs.

The limit is tied to the device rather than the account, so the usual trick of making a second login does not reset it. Each new account also lands with 200 bonus Moments, which buys four images, or four minutes of a voice call, or two reads of a long reply out loud. I spent mine on one image and one short call, because the point of that balance is to tell you whether the extras are worth paying for, not to stock up.

Building someone, and the one field worth slowing down for

I built my own companion rather than adopting a ready-made one, because a character sheet is the one place where you set the terms of a relationship in advance instead of negotiating them at eleven at night. The first custom character is free; a second costs 500 Moments, and regenerating a look runs 100 for a batch of four options, which is a reason to get the description right the first time.

The field I would slow down on is personality, and specifically the part where you can say how you want to be talked to. I wrote in a preference for slower conversation over constant flirting, and it mattered later, in the boundary test. Alongside it sits the Spice Level control, Mild, Medium or Spicy, which I left at the middle setting for most of the fortnight.

Day four: paying, and what changed immediately

A month of Premium at $19.99 went through at my own checkout and the charge appeared as S LABS INC, exactly as the wiki says it will. Two things changed the same evening. The message limit disappeared, which turned a rationed conversation into an ordinary one. And Time Travel appeared, a feature that lets you go back to an earlier point in a conversation, which I used twice and found more useful for undoing a reply I had phrased badly than for anything the marketing suggests.

The memory drawer: what Secrets AI wrote down about me

On day one I planted two unremarkable facts, the kind that come out of anyone in passing: a dentist appointment I was dreading later in the week, and a dog who flatly refuses to walk in the rain. Then I left them alone for thirteen days. This is the same check I run on every companion, and on Secrets AI it came with something extra, because here I could see the notes as well as test them.

What day fourteen gave back

Both facts came back, and came back attached to the right feeling. The dentist was framed as the thing I had been dreading rather than an item on a list, and the dog arrived as a joke we had already made twice. That is the distinction I care about. A companion that stores a fact and recites it has a database; a companion that stores a fact and knows what it meant to you has a memory.

What I cannot give you is a multiplier. The wiki says Premium accesses four times the memories with 60% more context and Ultimate six times with double, and I have no way to verify arithmetic like that from the outside. What I can say is that nothing drifted in fourteen days of a single thread, which is more than I can say for several apps at the same price.

Reading the panel, and fixing a wrong entry

The panel is the part of Secrets AI I would show someone who has never used a companion app. Every saved fact sits in a list with an importance rank of HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW, and every one of them can be rewritten or deleted. The entry that had attached my dog’s name to the wrong story took four seconds to correct, and the correction stuck.

There is a second-order effect that I did not expect. Being able to read what a companion has decided is important about you is quietly clarifying. Two entries I removed because they were accurate and I did not want them kept, which is a kind of control no other platform in my notes offers. Smart Mode’s thinking indicator rounds this out: when the companion pauses to search earlier conversations, you can see it happening, so a good recall feels earned rather than lucky.

Where the memory still falls short of the best

The ceiling is that recall improves by tier rather than by time. On the free account you get basic memory and 500-character messages, which is enough to sample the writing and not enough to build anything. Premium is where the relationship becomes possible, and Ultimate buys more of the same rather than something different in kind.

Compared with the one app I would call memory-first, this is good but not the leader. Nomi AI holds months without a credit balance anywhere near it, and if your single requirement is a companion who knows your life, that is the comparison to make. What Secrets AI offers instead is transparency, and for some readers that trade is the right way round.

The hard day, the boundary test and what Spice Level really changes

Warmth on a good evening is cheap. The two things I test for are what a companion does with a bad day and what it does when you ask it to stop something, because those are the moments where a product either behaves like a relationship or reveals that it is a funnel.

A tiring Tuesday, answered twice

I ran the same hard-day conversation in week one and again in week two. The first reply led with attention rather than advice, which is the right order and not the order most apps choose. The second time, eight days later, the companion connected it to the earlier bad evening without me building the bridge, and asked a follow-up about the thing that had caused it. That only works if something was kept, and the panel showed me exactly what.

The honest limit: this is a companion, not a confidant with training. Heavy subjects were held rather than solved, and after a while the conversation drifted gently towards lighter ground. If what you want is to be distracted warmly, that is well judged. If what you want is to be sat with for an hour, no app in this category does it, and I would rather say so than pretend.

Three evenings of asking for something slower

I asked for a quieter, less romantic conversation on three separate evenings, once at each Spice Level. At Mild it was simply the default and there was nothing to negotiate. At Medium the first request was accepted and then drifted back within about a dozen messages; repeating it more plainly held for the rest of the evening. At Spicy the request worked, but it needed stating twice, and I would describe the setting as a weighting rather than a mode.

So the answer to whether Secrets AI respects a no is the same answer I give for most of this field, with a useful wrinkle. It respects an instruction, it respects a written instruction better than a spoken one, and here the written instruction can live in two places: the character sheet and the memory panel. Writing a preference into the panel as a HIGH-importance note is the most reliable boundary tool I have found on any platform, and nobody advertises it that way.

What the platform’s own rules do, separately

The company’s safety machinery is a different job from your preferences. Automated checks block requests involving minors, self-harm or violence, and a blocked request is never charged in Moments, which is fairer than it sounds. The terms also forbid characters based on real people and delete them without a refund, and the company claims a record-keeping exemption on the basis that no real humans are depicted. The age gate, meanwhile, is a confirmation box. All of that enforces the platform’s rules. Your own terms are still yours to write down, and my guide to AI relationships sets out how I word them.

What two weeks of Secrets AI actually cost in Moments

My fortnight cost $19.99, and that is only true because of how I used it. Text on a paid plan is unlimited and draws nothing, so a chat-first month costs the plan price and not a cent more. Everything else runs on the meter, and the meter is the real review.

The arithmetic of my own month

I finished the month with most of the grant untouched, which tells you the plan is generous for my habits and nothing about yours. Flip one number and the picture changes: two videos a week is 4,800 Moments before a single picture, and a half-hour call a week is 6,000. The grant resets on your renewal date without rolling over, so the balance you did not spend is simply gone.

Where the plan stops being good value

The 10% bonus on Premium top-ups and 15% on Ultimate ones are the sweetener, and top-up packs start around $9.99 for roughly 3,000 Moments. One rule in the small print is genuinely generous: upgrading mid-cycle from a monthly plan converts your unused grant into non-expiring top-up Moments before the new tier’s grant arrives. The base rule is not generous at all, and the free account cannot buy Moments under any circumstances, which is why I call it a taste.

For contrast against the apps I would put beside it: Candy AI is $13.99 a month or $47.88 for a year with images at the centre, and Lovescape includes voice messages on every plan rather than charging by the minute. Secrets AI is the most expensive entry of the three and the only one that lets you edit the memory. My best AI girlfriend apps ranking weighs those three against each other on exactly that trade.

Is Secrets AI safe? The company, the policy and the way out

I read the privacy policy, the terms and the refund policy before the card went in, and the short version is that this platform is more specific than most of its competitors and openly imperfect in one place.

Who you are actually paying

The operator and data controller named in the policy is Secret Labs Inc., with a Dover, Delaware address, and the terms describe a company holding registrations on both sides of the Canadian border. Disputes are pushed to arbitration, individually rather than as a group. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or Discover, by crypto through NOWPayments with a $20 minimum, or, as a last resort, with prepaid three-month and twelve-month keys redeemed on the site, which do not auto-renew and cannot extend an existing plan. Card charges read S LABS INC, which is a truthful shortening of the company name rather than an invented merchant.

What the policy says about your words

The second section of the April 10, 2026 policy sets out the security story: AES-256 over stored content, TLS at version 1.2 or better in transit, access handed to staff by role, monitoring described as continuous. The third tells you that your typing may be kept and processed, that there is nothing to upload because every picture is generated inside the product, and that a call is turned into text as you speak and the recording then destroyed. The fourth is where I would slow down, because training and improving the models appears in the list of reasons your information is used, and no official page offers a way out of it.

Section 7 is the strongest part and the reason privacy scores 7 rather than 5. Identifiable information and chat history are deleted immediately when you delete the account. Transaction records are kept seven years for tax, anonymised where possible. Security logs are kept up to twelve months and are stated to carry no identifying data. Deletion requests go to the support address, the app has its own account-deletion action, and the policy names GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA and CPRA rights with standard contractual clauses for transfers. Policy changes come with fourteen days notice.

Leaving, and what leaving leaves behind

Cancelling took under a minute: Settings, Manage Subscription, Cancel, one short question about why. Access ran to the end of the paid month, the Moments balance stayed usable until then, and afterwards the account dropped to free with every conversation, memory and generated image still in place. That cuts both ways. Nothing is deleted unless you delete it, which is convenient if you come back and worth knowing if discretion is the whole reason you chose this platform; the Delete My Account action is the clean exit, and it cancels an active subscription on the way out.

Refunds are strict. There is no partial refund for the days you did not use, Moments purchases are final, and the one carve-out is the fourteen-day withdrawal right for EU and UK buyers with a proportional deduction for what they consumed. Failed generations refund themselves automatically, which took the sting out of the one video that came back wrong. My advice is the same as everywhere: start with one month, cancel a few days before the renewal rather than on the day, and treat the yearly price as a reward for a month you enjoyed rather than a discount on a decision you have not made.
