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
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
