SillyTavern — our take

If you want total control and zero subscription, this is where the advanced users live.

  • Complete control over prompt and memory
  • Works with local or hosted models
  • Free forever

Kindroid — our take

The best pick for people who will actually fill in the backstory — lazy setup buys you a chatbot.

  • Voice calls hold up on poor mobile connections
  • Very deep personality and backstory controls
  • No coin system
