Replika — our take
Still the strongest product for people who want one companion and a real feeling of continuity.
- Deepest emotional-continuity design
- Voice calls plus AR and avatar video
- Wellbeing features are genuinely useful
SoulChat — our take
A deliberately hand-authored cast of six rather than a community character library — you trade variety for characters that keep one consistent voice.
- Free tier needs no account at all — 5 messages before you sign up
- Six companions with one fixed voice each, plus your own custom characters
- In-chat selfie generation with a free daily quota, plus group chat with spatial audio
