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
Sesame — our take
Started as a voice demo; now a mobile preview of four named agents that still lead the field on presence.
- Best voice presence we have heard
- Free during preview
- Conversational timing is excellent
