SillyTavern — our take
If you want total control and zero subscription, this is where the advanced users live.
- Complete control over prompt and memory
- Works with local or hosted models
- Free forever
DarLink AI — our take
A character-driven companion with a media stack bolted on: uncensored roleplay, generated images, voice messages, and short NSFW video clips. Memory depth scales by tier rather than being fixed.
