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
AI Bestie — our take
Wholesome multi-persona companion with real voice calls and shared memory across the whole bestie family.
- Real two-way voice calls
- Memory shared across the whole persona family
- 70+ languages
