Short answer
If the product you want is adult voice or media inside the thread, start with Muah AI. Ultra VIP / Early Access real-time calls require pairing a phone number. The FAQ describes communications as encrypted and stored on a cloud host — that is not an E2EE proof, and it is not a latency score.
If you actually wanted hosted adult text, use Candy AI and skip Voice Calls (beta). Girlfriend hub: AI girlfriend apps. Product map of Muah (photos in-thread): Muah multimodal review.

Evidence used
Checked 31 August 2026. This page is a job split, not a latency lab, a 4-stack architecture diagram, or a first-party-vs-TTS bake-off. Older Dating Auditors copy invented ~0.6s unified-voice scores, 3–5s TTS round trips, and emotion-mapped synthesis. They are not reused here.
- Muah General FAQ — posted 18 December 2023, last marked updated 17 August 2026. Ultra VIP / Early Access real-time phone calls: pair a phone number in companion settings, then call from a chat message. Communications are described as encrypted and stored on a cloud host. Player data is used for service improvement and AI training.
restart123archives memory. No native iOS/Android app; operator says store impersonators are scam/phishing. - Muah Privacy Policy (effective 17 May 2022) — may collect name, email, phone number, IP, device, and activity logs. No numbered media-retention schedule.
- Candy help: What can I do with tokens? — tokens cover image generation, creating a custom AI, listening to a voice message, and Voice Calls (beta).
- Candy help: What is Premium Plus? — named benefits include unlimited text, Create My AI, Generate 18+ images, Live Action / New Experiences and Live audio, memory slots (20).
- Candy Privacy Notice (revised 30 July 2026) — Services include voice notes. Voice call is a listed processing purpose; Content includes calls. Third-party LLM/hosters may receive chatbot messages.
- Candy Terms (17 August 2026) — free users generally 5 messages.
- DreamGF Privacy Policy — processes chats and voice messages. Not a live-call girlfriend product.
- Character.AI / Replika — pornographic / obscene user content outside the product. Replika Pro help documents roleplay during voice/AR calls as a romance feature, not an NSFW unlock. Detail: Replika & Character.AI status.
Mic and upload risk (different job): multimodal privacy.
Three things sold as “voice chat”
Exact milliseconds, “emotion vectors,” and first-party-vs-generic-TTS diagrams are unknown. Public documents support three buyer jobs:
- A live call — you talk into a mic; the companion talks back in the same session. Muah documents this for Ultra VIP / Early Access after pairing a phone number. Candy documents Voice Calls (beta) as a token extra.
- A voice note — the companion’s line is spoken as audio you play. Candy’s tokens article lists listening to a voice message separately from Voice Calls (beta). DreamGF’s privacy policy lists voice messages. That is not a sourced real-time call.
- Typed chat you never meant to record — if that is the product, skip the mic. Candy AI is the hosted adult-text default on this site.
A store “AI girlfriend” with a filtered voice stack is a different access problem: NSFW AI on phones.
What public documents support
| Product | What the documents support | Unknown | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muah AI | Real-time calls on Ultra VIP / Early Access after pairing a phone number. Encrypted and stored. In-chat media is the product | Latency. Whether a given plan includes call minutes. Architecture (first-party vs TTS vendor) | Primary when voice or in-chat media is the job |
| Candy AI | Tokens: listen to a voice message; Voice Calls (beta). Premium Plus names live audio. Privacy treats calls as Content | Latency. Token burn per minute. Phone-number pairing is not on the tokens article | Hosted adult text. Skip the mic if that is what you wanted |
| CrushOn | Catalog on the official website | A sourced live-call spec is not established here | Catalog path, not a voice pick |
| DreamGF | Privacy lists voice messages | Not a call product | Mix-and-match stills |
| Replika / Character.AI | Adult / pornographic content outside the product. Replika Pro documents voice/AR calls as romance | Current ERP on a given account | Stay for SFW / sold romance only |
Older copy claimed Muah ran a “unified voice node” under ~1s and that bolted-on TTS added 3–5 seconds. We do not have operator text or a measured test for those numbers.
If voice or in-chat media is the job: Muah AI
Choose Muah when the reason to pay is talking and sending media in the same thread, not a text girlfriend with a speaker bolted on. Pairing a phone number for Ultra VIP / Early Access calls is an identity step. Training use and archived memory are disclosed. Prefer the website; the FAQ says store apps impersonating Muah are scams.
Do not choose Muah as the privacy-first chat, as a text-memory default, or because an older Dating Auditors page promised sub-second audio. Privacy of the mic: multimodal privacy. Photos-in-thread product map: Muah multimodal review.
CTA: Open Muah AI — live calls with the FAQ limits
If you wanted text: Candy AI
Choose Candy when the product is hosted adult chat you type, with optional generated images and named memory slots — and you leave Voice Calls (beta) off. Voice on Candy is still Candy Content: the privacy notice lists Voice call as a processing purpose and treats calls as Content. Free is generally five messages (Terms, 17 August 2026), which is a poor voice trial.
Do not choose Candy to become unidentifiable, to get a measured low-latency call, or as a substitute for Muah’s documented in-thread media. Deep Mode is not a current documented Candy setting.
CTA: Open Candy AI — stay in text if voice was not the job
CrushOn remains the character-catalog path on a phone via the official website, not a voice recommendation. Memory vs recall: AI girlfriend long-term memory.
