HeyGF Review (2026): Photos, Videos and Coin Costs

Updated September 2026 · Disclosure: CompanionTested is operated by the team behind Swipey AI, one of the apps below.

How we reviewed: researched from the app's own pages and public listings in September 2026; we did not run paid test accounts.

Our HeyGF review: it is a visual-first AI girlfriend site in the browser, with photos, videos and voice messages paid for by a monthly coin allowance. Plans are listed from $9.99 to $39.99 a month (September 2026; check the live page). Coins are non-refundable, the per-image coin cost is not published, and you may not download media. Budget above the headline price for heavy image use.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Built around visuals: custom photos and videos sit next to chat and voice messages.
• Coin allowances per plan are published, so you can compare plans.
• Annual plans unlock each companion's full photo gallery.
• Works in any browser on phone or desktop, with nothing to install.
• Published policy pages, including content moderation, anti-trafficking, an AI disclaimer and a 2257 statement.

Cons

• The coin cost of each photo or video is not published on the pages we read.
• Coin purchases and custom media are final and non-refundable.
• The terms bar downloading or extracting media, so your images stay on the site.
• Heavy image use costs "meaningfully more than the headline price", as reported by reviewers.
• Reviewers report repetitive long sessions, a companion that "tends to agree with you" and memory that slips across days.

Features: what HeyGF offers for photos and video

HeyGF leads with pictures. You pick a preset companion from a library with backstories, or build one by setting appearance, personality and voice. From there, chat is the base layer, with a memory the site describes as "character memory that adapts". On top, you can request custom photos, videos and voice messages.

This is a researched review, so we do not score image or video quality. What we can say from the app's pages:

• Photos and videos: generated on request and paid in coins.
• Galleries: each companion has a photo gallery; the full gallery unlocks on annual plans.
• Voice: voice messages and audio are listed. Live calls, voice or video, are not listed, so do not count on them.
• Keeping media: the terms say users may not download or extract media. If you want a personal archive on your device, this is a hard limit.

HeyGF pricing and real cost

HeyGF publishes three plans, each with a coin allowance. Prices are listed as follows (September 2026; check the live page).

The price-per-coin column is our own division of the listed price by the listed coins. It treats the whole fee as coin value, so it is only a guide to how bigger plans stretch further.

The gap in the maths is the cost per action. HeyGF does not publish how many coins a photo or a video costs on the pages we read, so we cannot turn coins into images. Before you commit to a bigger plan, check the coin cost shown for one photo and one video on the cheapest plan, or ask support at the listed contact email. Then:

1. Multiply the per-photo cost by the photos you want in a month.
2. Add video requests, which cost more than images on several coin-based apps we cover.
3. Pick the plan whose allowance covers that total.
4. Only then consider annual, since coin purchases are non-refundable and plans auto-renew.

Is HeyGF legit and safe?

HeyGF names its operator, Y2A LLC, and gives a contact address and email. The Dover, Delaware address is a registered-agent address, which is common for online businesses and tells you little about where the team works. The terms set Delaware law and binding AAA arbitration for individual claims only.

• Billing: subscriptions auto-renew. Coin purchases and custom media are final. Cancel before renewal if you are done.
• Age: 18+ per the terms. The check method is not stated by the app at the time of writing.
• Privacy: reviewers rate it "around average". Keep real names, photos and addresses out of chats.
• Content rules: NSFW is part of paid plans, with published moderation and anti-trafficking policies.

Who HeyGF is for

HeyGF suits adults who want a photo-led companion and are happy for their media to stay on the site. It is the better pick over text-first roleplay sites if pictures matter more than long scenes, and its annual gallery unlock is a real perk for heavy users. Look elsewhere if you want live calls, if you want to save media, or if you need a published cost per image before you commit.

HeyGF alternatives

Where Swipey differs for visual users: photos keep the same face and body across images, clips run up to 60 seconds, and Premium at $7.99/month adds voice calls with unlimited chat. Extra media uses hearts. Every Swipey character is AI, and it is 18+ only. INVAI, which runs this site, makes Swipey.

Verdict

HeyGF is a legit, visual-first AI girlfriend site with clear plan prices and published coin allowances. What holds it back for image-heavy users is the missing per-image coin cost, no refunds on coins and a ban on downloading media. Check one photo and one video cost before you pick a plan, and start monthly.
