Every app below was paid for, used daily for two weeks, and scored against the same five criteria. There are no sponsored spots, and a company cannot buy its way up.
We may earn a commission from links on this page. It never changes a rating.

Sweet-natured and available as real iOS and Android apps.
Best free option
Warm and story-driven, with a free tier that lasted long enough to form a real opinion.
Best overall
Chat, pictures and voice all on one subscription, and all three held up when I used them every day.
Best character builder
Over two hundred ready-made characters, plus a six-step builder when none of them fit.
Best memory
Carried a conversation across weeks. Treat the images as a bonus; the talking is why you pay.
The fastest route through this site is the ranking: seven apps, what each does best, and the real monthly cost after any intro discount expires.
Reading a sales page and rewriting it is not a test. Instead, I set up a character, message it every day, and see if it can still recall my name after almost two weeks. Every price comes from inside a paid account rather than from the app's marketing.
| Score | The question behind it |
|---|---|
| Conversation | Does the personality survive for weeks, or only for a single good answer? |
| Memory | Will it bring up last Tuesday without being reminded? |
| Media | Do the images and voice fit one consistent character? |
| Price | What does month two cost, not just the teaser month? |
| Controls | Are export, delete and content settings easy to find? |
One bill for chatting, pictures and voice? That is Candy AI. A conversation partner who still feels present a week in? That is Nomi. Not ready to spend money? Sweetdream is the only free tier here that goes beyond a demo.
Use the ranking as a shopping list and the reviews as proof. Only interested in free options? Begin with Sweetdream or Replika. The scoring rules are laid out in our testing method.
For each app: a paid subscription, daily chats, and at least fourteen days. Everything gets the same five scores (conversation, memory, media, price, and how much control you have over your data), and the review is written only after the test ends.
No. We do earn commissions on some affiliate links, but the score is fixed before any company contacts us. The full policy is on how we make money.
Candy AI if you want the whole package on one plan, Nomi if memory matters more than images, and Sweetdream if you would rather not pay anything yet.
