Is Secrets AI Free? What the Free Tier Actually Gives You
Yes, Secrets AI has a permanent free tier: 20 text messages a day, basic memory, no pictures, no video, no calls you can afford. Here's what it...
Secrets AI is web-only by design, so there is no App Store or Play Store download. Here is how to get it on your home screen in a couple of minutes, and how to tell a clone from the real thing.
If you have searched the App Store or Google Play for a Secrets AI app and come up empty, that is not a regional thing or a listing that got pulled. Secrets AI, run by Secret Labs Inc., is a website โ secrets.ai โ and it is web-only by design. The official wiki is blunt about it: any Secrets download you find in Google or Apple stores is unaffiliated.
That does not mean you are stuck with a cramped browser tab. The site installs to your home screen as a progressive web app, which gives you an icon, a full-screen window and push notifications. It behaves like an app because it is one, minus the store.
| Source | Official? | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | No | No official listing |
| Google Play | No | Secrets-branded results unaffiliated |
| APK sites | No | Unverified files to avoid |
| Mobile browser | Yes | Everything, no install needed |
| Installed PWA | Yes | Own icon, full screen, push notifications |
Why web-only? Part of it is likely App Store rules. Apple's guideline 1.1.4 removes software that is mainly for pornographic content, and an adult companion platform with image and video generation would have a hard time there. Running on the web also means updates arrive without waiting on store approval. The trade-off is on you: every chat needs an internet connection, and the icon on your home screen is as private as your phone is.
You now have an icon that opens the full platform in its own window. Earlier notes mention a one-time 25 Moments bonus for enabling notifications โ worth checking in your account settings, since Moments are what images and video run on.
One login covers every device, so you can start a conversation on your phone and pick it up on a laptop without losing the thread.
Search results for a Secrets AI download are full of things that are not Secrets AI. The official wiki says plainly that store downloads using the name are unaffiliated. One Google Play developer page tied to the Secrets name even claims the product runs entirely offline โ the real Secrets AI is online and needs internet for every message. A 2025 press release announced a new mobile app from SecretsAI, but the current wiki points only to the installable web version. There is also a separate company called Secret Desires, which is not this one.
Red flags to watch for:
Money spent inside a clone is gone, and there is no support line to call. If you already installed something unofficial, remove it, change your passwords and go through your bank statement. Real Secrets AI billing shows up as S LABS INC, which is a useful check.
The mobile experience is the full platform, not a cut-down version โ text, voice and visual interaction with AI personas, available around the clock. The first custom character is free; extras cost 500 Moments. You set gender, a realistic or anime look, voice, traits and backstory.
Memory is the part worth paying attention to. Secrets AI says companions remember past conversations and evolve, and the system tracks names, preferences and relationship history across extended sessions. Paid plans add Lorebooks, which let you edit what a character remembers, and Time Travel, a Premium feature for rewinding a conversation and branching the story. Paid users can also generate images and video inside a chat.
| Plan | Price | Key limits |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 20 chat messages a day, basic memory, no Moments, no images |
| Premium | $19.99 monthly, $109.99 yearly | Unlimited chat, 8,000 Moments, video, Time Travel |
| Ultimate | $39.99 monthly, $319.99 yearly | 15,000 Moments, group chats, personas |
Moments are the credits behind the expensive features: images at 50 Moments, 100 at 2K, adult video at 600, a SFW image edit at 50, live audio calls at 50 a minute. Failed images are refunded, and monthly Moment grants do not roll over โ so unused credits evaporate. Prices are the same on every device, and there is no store payment taking a cut.
We rate Secrets AI 9.9 out of 10 overall, with memory at 9.9 and value at 7.9. For a closer look at the numbers, our Secrets AI review goes through memory, Moments and costs in detail, and if you are weighing it against the obvious rival, Secrets AI vs Candy AI compares what each one remembers.
The homepage claims end-to-end encryption and 100% confidential private conversations. The privacy policy is narrower: stored data gets AES-256 encryption, and traffic is encrypted in transit, but the server can read your private chats, and they may feed model training. That is not a scandal โ most hosted companion platforms work this way โ but the marketing line and the policy do not say the same thing.
Practical habits: use an email that doesn't reveal your identity, keep real names and addresses out of conversations and image prompts, and lock your phone. The home-screen icon is not private on its own. Closing your account wipes chat history immediately, and call audio isn't kept, only transcripts. Deletion requests go to [email protected].
Everyone on the platform must be 18 or older. AI-assisted moderation flags signs of underage users, content involving or resembling minors is banned, and Secrets AI says it has removed content that appeared underage.
One more thing, said without a lecture: an AI companion can feel like real connection, and that is the point. If it starts crowding out sleep, work or friends for more than a day or two, take some time off. The app will still be there.
Yes. Once it's pinned to your home screen, a companion is ready in seconds and the experience feels like a native download. The things you give up are minor: no store billing, no automatic updates through the App Store, and no offline mode. The things you gain are the full feature set on day one and no clone risk if you type the address carefully.
If a true native download matters to you, that is a legitimate reason to look elsewhere โ our guide to apps like Character AI covers alternatives, some of which do live in the stores.
No. There is no official listing in either store. Install it from Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android using the Add to Home Screen option, and treat any store listing using the Secrets name as unaffiliated.
No. Every chat message needs an internet connection, and one Google Play page claiming the product runs offline is not the real service.
Yes. Once installed to the home screen it opens full screen with its own icon and push notifications, and a companion is ready in seconds. You lose store billing and offline access, not features.
