AI companion apps with voice chat and calls

The most complete media stack in the category, chat, voice, images, 120-second Live Action video and Story Mode, but the subscription is only the entry fee. Tokens for anything visual push real spend well past the headline price.

A US-registered companion with a published coin price list, decent DeepSeek-based chat and a real free tier. Video is the weak link: short, expensive and often unreliable. Good value on the annual plan for chat and images.

The most transparent power-user companion: published memory limits, a new Polaris model, explicit content for verified adults. The free tier ends on 1 October 2026; expect a stacked bill and credit meters.

The strongest memory in mainstream companion apps, with expressive voice included, held back by suggestive-only images, a no-refund policy and pricing you only see after signing up.

The biggest character catalogue around, now in Chapter 11 and up for sale, with its future depending on a buyer who keeps the app running. Strict no-pornography rule, ads and paid Charms on the free tier, and a heavy legal history.

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.

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.

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.

A capable adult chat with voice calls and a printed XOT rate card. The catch: €24.99 a month buys only 1,000 XOT, every payment is final, and the homepage’s encryption claim sits badly with terms that log everything.

The original AI companion, mid-rebuild. Replika 2.0 reportedly drops the Diary and the 3D avatar and has cost some users memories. Soft romance only, prices unpublished, all sales final.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.

Conversation feels present and the mood system is engaging, but Eva AI is phone-only, trains on your messages with no opt-out, and charges a membership plus Neurons whose per-image cost is never published.

A small, explicit, browser-only video-chat companion from a German operator that names its vendors and publishes credit rates. The video loop is the draw; conversation depth, memory and the membership’s credit allowance are undocumented.
