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
Chai — our take
Low-friction and cheap to try, but the free message cap makes Premium near-essential.
- Huge bot library
- Very easy to start
- Cheaper annual plan
