SoulChat

3.8

Six hand-written companions with long-term memory, free to try without an account

A neat demonstration of realtime video conversation; useful, if shallow.

The flexible pick: switch models per conversation, including companion-style bots.

A blunt-tongued assistant with companion features

A general assistant first. Fine company for casual banter, but companionship is a sideline here.

No account, no message cap, no paid tier

Rough around the edges, but nothing else on this list asks for so little.
