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
Rosebud — our take
The strongest AI journal in the directory: 4.7★ from 5,000+ users, emotional pattern analysis, speak-or-type entries.
- 4.7★ average from 5,300+ ratings
- Emotional analysis and long-term patterns
- Free tier is genuinely usable
