AI companion apps with voice chat and calls

Polished and fast, with the best-looking images in the category and 120-second Live Action video. Tokens on top of the subscription and a limited trial mean the real monthly cost is above the sticker price.

Strong memory and the deepest scenario building in the group, with 19 voices. Coins gate every image and video, there is no lasting free tier, and video output is inconsistent.

The most transparent memory system in the category, with context limits printed in the docs, plus voice and video calls. Adult content is allowed for verified adults. The add-on tiers stack to nearly $100 a month and prices have moved more than once.

Enormous library, strong writing and a clear no-adult-content rule. The free tier now carries ads and caps, minors lost open-ended chat in late 2025, and the company has spent 2026 settling lawsuits and rolling out age assurance.

One of the best memory systems in the category, with voice calls included rather than metered. Images and short video are secondary, explicit images are filtered, and there is no public price page and no refunds.

Above-average conversation, an editable memory panel and a broad feature set for a flat fee, but the free tier is thin, every purchase is non-refundable and the plan line-up keeps changing.

The best memory system in this batch and one of the cheapest annual plans, but the avatar images are unstable, the relationship has to be ‘earned’ through a progression grind, and it is not an adult product.

Ambitious media: 4K clips up to 15 seconds with audio, and real-time voice calls. The XOT token layer on top of the subscription and a steep monthly price are the catch; the annual discount changes the maths.

A broad all-rounder with images, calls and short video and no renewal price jump, let down by thin memory and a token layer whose costs are not published before you sign in.

The best-looking animated avatars in the category and solid voice calls, at a simple monthly price. It is mobile-first, English-first, and the adult side is muted rather than documented.

Capable voice and video messaging, but weekly-billing defaults, metered media and vague coin maths make it one of the dearest companions to run. Fine if you want voice; poor value otherwise.

The longest-running companion app, with voice, video calls, AR and a VR beta. Memory complaints are constant, romance is a paid feature, erotic roleplay is limited to accounts older than February 2023, and all purchases are final.

Cheap on the annual VIP plan and genuinely permissive, but the chat is unstable, phone calls and video need the $99.99 tier, and a 2024 breach exposed user prompts. Proceed with a throwaway email.

Decent text and voice chat let down by a coin meter that charges per message even on the paid plan, unreliable image generation and a non-functional video-call feature.

One of the cheapest annual plans around with usable group chat and voice, but memory across sessions is weak, voice and video burn Energy on every tier, and the iOS app is gone from the App Store.

One of the more human-feeling companions in reviewer tests, but mobile-only, with tokens limiting conversation length and adult content on free, prices that vary by source, and memory that does not carry across chats.
