Millions of community characters with unlimited free text chat
The default starting point: unmatched variety and the most generous free tier in the category.
The self-hosted frontend the power users all run
If you want total control and zero subscription, this is where the advanced users live.
The most empathetic free AI, with unlimited voice
Completely free, genuinely warm, and no upsell wall. Not a roleplay product, but an excellent listener.
Six hand-written companions with long-term memory, free to try without an account
A deliberately hand-authored cast of six rather than a community character library — you trade variety for characters that keep one consistent voice.
ByteDance’s no-code bot builder
Build and ship custom AI chatbots to 8+ channels with plugins and workflows — a create-your-own toolkit, not a fixed companion.
An open-weight model with a surprisingly strong free chat
Not a companion, but its free, capable chat and long memory make it a credible daily AI friend.
