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 Companion Today — our take
AI Companion Today is an 18+ slow-burn romance chat built on two published novels. It is waitlist-only for now: free to join, 50 bonus messages at launch, then 10 free messages a day. Paid pricing is not published yet.
- Free to join; 10 free messages a day at launch
- Self-hosted in Europe, chats deleted after 30 days
- Consent-first, non-explicit scenarios

Which is cheaper, SoulChat or AI Companion Today?
One or both do not publish a comparable monthly price, so we show what each states on its own pricing page: SoulChat $9.99/mo, AI Companion Today Free. Confirm at checkout, since regional pricing varies.
Which one has a free tier?
Both do — you can try either without paying.
Which remembers conversations better?
Both keep context across sessions. The practical difference is elsewhere: price and platform coverage differ between them.

SoulChat: Optional mature mode. AI Companion Today: Adult-first. This directory is SFW — we record whether a mature mode exists so you know before signing up, and we describe no explicit material.
