We tested all of them.
So you don't have to.

The widest cast of characters anywhere — but heavily filtered, with memory that fades within hours.

Pioneered the category and still has the warmest onboarding — but the 2023 NSFW lockdown left a brand bruise its loyal users haven't forgotten.

Genuinely good real-time voice. Everything around it feels like an MVP.

Generous free tier and minimal filtering. Memory is essentially nonexistent.

A strong creator platform that doesn't quite become a relationship platform.

A polished mobile experience that paywalls almost everything past the first conversation.

Knows its audience and serves it well. Outside the niche, not for you.

Sweet visual identity, generous photo replies, mediocre conversation.

A reasonable starter app with little to differentiate it.

Unfiltered roleplay with a privacy story most competitors don't make.

Built for image generation, with chat as the wrapper. It shows.

Marketing budget appears larger than the product budget.
