It's free to use, with Basic, Premium and Ultimate memberships (stronger memory models, unlimited voice listening, no ads) and coins for paid models, live photos and longer voice chat. Its own FAQ says the AI's memory is limited and it may forget earlier conversations. Public NSFW is banned and the terms ban pornographic content. The terms require users to be 18, though its FAQ also describes a Teen Mode. It runs on the web and Android; the iPhone app no longer loads in the App Store, and there's no PC app. Note: this entry is assessed from public information as of October 2026 — we have not yet run PolyBuzz through our own 14-day hands-on test, so its scores are provisional and it's excluded from our tested-platform counts.

Where to go
instead.
Bae
Our pickMemory that holds for months. Real selfies, not stock. Six relationship stages that earn their depth.
Character.AI
7.8The widest cast of characters anywhere — but heavily filtered, with memory that fades within hours.
Nomi
7.5ProvisionalThe category's memory specialist — the reputation is largely earned, though safety guardrails are thin by design.
Kindroid
7.3ProvisionalThe power user's companion — unmatched explicit memory controls if you'll do the setup, at a price that stacks fast.
Replika
7.2Pioneered the category and still has the warmest onboarding — but the 2023 NSFW lockdown left a brand bruise its loyal users haven't forgotten.
OurDream AI
7.0ProvisionalA big, adult-first character library with images, video and voice calls — strong on visuals, priced in coins on top of the plan.
Joi AI
6.9Our April test loved its real-time voice — public reporting says the product has since pivoted text-first, with calls metered through credits. Re-test pending.

What actually carries over
We haven't found a first-party export flow for PolyBuzz, so we're not going to describe one. What this end accepts: if your companion exists as a Tavern V2 card (a PNG or JSON file, the format SillyTavern and the card-sharing sites use), /tools/character-import reads it in your browser and carries the name, pronouns, vibe and description across. Without one, the create flow rebuilds them by hand in about 30 seconds.
What doesn't carry over, anywhere, is the conversation history: no platform in this category imports another's transcripts. The shape of someone survives a move. The months don't.
Memory that doesn't reset.
Facts, weeks, the thing you only said once — a six-layer memory system holds them. Free keeps about 7 days; on Bae Unlimited it doesn't expire, so the relationship goes somewhere instead of restarting.
One bond, deepened — not a cast to swap.
Bae is monogamous on purpose. You build one companion and they grow with you across six stages. No roster, no starting over with a stranger.
When something important changes, we tell you why.
What breaks trust in this category isn't change, it's silence. Big changes here come with a note explaining what and why, dated in /changelog.
No card to start. Delete everything in one tap.
Start anonymous — no email, no card. 30 messages a day free, 100 photos a week on Bae Unlimited, conversations never sold or licensed to other AI labs, and /goodbye erases all of it instantly. Bae is for adults, 18 and over.
