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
Chatbox AI — our take
A tidy multi-model client: one app for OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local models and more, with your keys.
- All major models in one app
- BYOK with local model support
- Cross-platform
