Swipey gifts and tips, explained

Where you can send Swipey gifts

Gifts in chat

Chats with models carry a gift option. Pick one, send it, and the model responds to it in the thread as part of the conversation, the same way she responds to a message. Gifts sit alongside the other things a chat can do: request a photo or a video scene of up to 60 seconds, edit a generated image with the pencil and a short prompt, send a voice message, or start a real-time voice call on Premium. Since 27 August 2026 you can also open a Group Chat with 2 to 3 characters in one thread.

Gifting in Swipey Live Fantasy Duels

A Duel is a five-minute live battle between two AI girls, split into five rounds. In each round there is a gifting window where both girls' bars climb, a short lock, and then the girl with the most hearts performs her clip. Gifting is the whole mechanic; since 1 September 2026 there is no separate ballot, your hearts decide. The girl who wins the most rounds wins the Duel, and her top supporter, the viewer who gifted her the most across the battle, is taken into a private live with her afterwards. Every viewer also has a personal progress bar per girl, and crossing its thresholds saves album rewards to your account. Gifters hear a personal voiced thank-you that nobody else in the room can hear. The full breakdown is on SwipeyPulse.

A few practical points before your first Duel. Guests can watch one full battle without an account; after that you register, and new accounts receive free hearts when they sign up. Free registered members can watch a set number of battles before a Premium prompt appears, and Premium members watch without limit. The room chat is public, the girls reply through AI and give gifters priority, and links have been blocked in room chat since 18 August 2026. The private live for the top supporter has its own menu of actions, chat, and photo and video requests. Since 24 September 2026 several Duels run at the same time in Duel Rooms, and the free-watch allowance counts across rooms. Duels are built for phones first; a wide-screen desktop layout is in development.

How to tip an AI creator's real counterpart

Tips go to Verified Creator Models, the real, KYC-verified adults behind the companions. You tip from the creator's profile or chat, in hearts. Some tips come back with a reward video the creator has prepared. Where a creator offers custom content, you request it the same way and pay in hearts. Tips are separate from the Fanclub, which is a monthly membership; a tip is a one-off thank-you for content you enjoyed.

Since 23 September 2026 there is a fourth place hearts go. In the Swipey Creator Community, members can donate hearts to the member who created a published character. Those creators are members who designed a Custom AI, not verified real people, and the first version has no cash payouts, so a donation stays in hearts.

It helps to keep the three money words apart. Premium is the $7.99 monthly plan that unlocks the app's paid features and includes one Fanclub. A Fanclub is a real-money membership to one creator. Hearts are the in-app currency for everything smaller and more frequent: gifts, tips, extra content sets, custom requests, extra generations and voice-call minutes. You never pay a subscription in hearts, and you never gift in dollars.

Where the hearts for gifts come from

Hearts are earned first and bought second. This is every way to earn them as of September 2026.

• Daily quests that reset each day, and permanent tasks such as following Swipey's official accounts (see the Discord and community page).
• The 7-day streak. Complete your streak tasks every day and the rewards stack up over seven days. Miss a day and the streak resets.
• Relationship level-ups and milestones. Each character has ten levels, and level-ups pay out alongside the reward drop.
• The daily spin, with heart prizes and a meter that fills toward a free spin.
• Refer-a-Friend. Both you and the friend you refer receive hearts when they make a first purchase. Free users see the referral dashboard; Premium members get the shareable link.
• Premium's daily grant. Premium members ($7.99 a month) receive free hearts automatically every day on top of everything above.

Hearts packs are also sold in the app through a purchase screen that shows the pack and its price at the time. Pack prices and individual gift prices are set inside the product and can change, so we do not reprint them; what you see in the app is the current figure. To see today's quests and your hearts balance, open Quests on swipey.ai.

Gifts are one use among several. Hearts also buy extra image and video generations, exclusive Fanclub content sets and custom requests from creators, and voice-call minutes. The earning side is covered in depth on SwipeyLoop; the community questions about gifts are collected in the community FAQ.
