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
Poe — our take
The flexible pick: switch models per conversation, including companion-style bots.
- Many models in one subscription
- Huge community bot library
- Build and share your own bots
