Kindroid — our take
The best pick for people who will actually fill in the backstory — lazy setup buys you a chatbot.
- Voice calls hold up on poor mobile connections
- Very deep personality and backstory controls
- No coin system
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
