18+ only. This page covers conversation apps for adults and fictional adult characters.

People usually start looking for a Replika alternative when the account no longer matches what they pay for or what they want to control. Replika's plans have grown well past a single upgrade. Pro covers relationship status, activities, image generation, voice messages and calls, and daily gems. Ultra adds improved conversations, self-reflection and saving messages to memory. Platinum lists video recognition, Training Mode at 100 per week, Read Mind at 50 per week and 10 realistic selfie videos with no stated period.

On the Dutch App Store, checked 2026-10-28, these plans show up as separate store items rather than one clear price ladder: MONTHLY €8.99, Monthly €15.49, three annual-type labels at €50.99, €55.99 and €64.99, Annual ULTRA €74.99, and Replika Platinum at €78.99 with no period printed. The labels do not say which tier each item unlocks, and not every account necessarily sees every item.

The other reason is regulatory. On 2025-04-10 the Italian data protection authority, the Garante, announced a €5 million fine against Luka, Inc. for historical failures on legal basis, transparency and age verification. The authority notes an appeal. The decision covers past conduct in Italy and is not a ban in the Netherlands, but it is a good reason to compare age checks, deletion routes and retention periods as well as chat features.

The Replika review covers the baseline in detail. Below we compare 11 listed alternatives on memory tools, dialogue setup, visuals, customisation, value, privacy and age checks, using published details checked on 2026-10-28 and 2026-10-29. Each price is given in the currency of its source: euro where a Dutch store listing or a euro price list exists, and US dollars where only USD is published.

What makes an alternative worth switching to

For most people leaving a long-running companion, memory matters most. Replika lets you read and remove individual saved facts under Home, then your Replika's name, then Memory, and Ultra adds saving messages to memory. A good alternative should give you a comparable, editable way to store a fictional background. Nomi uses notes, backstories and Mind Maps. Character.AI gives 15 pins on the free tier and 30 on Lite. SpicyChat publishes context sizes of 4,000, 8,000 and 32,000 tokens by paid tier. These mechanisms work differently, and none of them is a measured promise that a character will recall everything.

Read the free allowance carefully, because a recurring daily quota is not the same as a one-off introduction. Nomi allows 50 messages per day and Secrets AI 20 per day. Candy AI allows 5 messages in total across characters, and GirlfriendGPT's terms illustrate 10 to 20 messages in total across 2 to 3 characters. Replika's own free chat has no published numeric cap and no paid trial.

Price clarity matters in the Netherlands because many services publish only US dollar web prices or a bare dollar symbol. A Dutch App Store amount is the store's displayed price, so you should not add 21% BTW on top. A USD web price tells you nothing certain about the euro total or how BTW is handled. At our checks, no listed web service confirmed payment routes such as iDEAL or SEPA.

The last test is privacy and how you get out. Look for a stated position on end-to-end encryption and on whether chats may be used for training. Check how long data stays after closure and whether deleting the account also cancels billing. With Replika, deleting the app does not stop a subscription, and its privacy policy dated 2026-05-27 allows some records to be kept for at least 10 years.

Age checks vary a lot. Some services use a third-party provider with selfie or ID options, while others rely on a self-declared date of birth or an 18+ click. If you want a Dutch-language interface, Character.AI lists Dutch in its App Store languages. Replika, Talkie and Janitor AI do not.

If you are leaving Replika because of this, look here

Start from your reason for leaving and find the service that answers it.

For a broader shortlist of companion-style services, see the AI girlfriend apps comparison. If adult text roleplay with fictional characters is your main reason for switching, the NSFW AI chat overview goes further into content settings and age checks.

Your device also narrows the choice. Replika runs on the web and iOS. Several alternatives are browser-first or installable web apps: Candy AI, Nastia, Kupid AI, GirlfriendGPT, and SpicyChat, whose native iOS app was removed. Talkie, Janitor AI and Character.AI have App Store listings. You cancel store billing in the store and web billing in the service's own account menu.

Side-by-side: memory, free access, price and account notes

Replika sits in the first row as the baseline. Euro amounts come from Dutch App Store listings or euro price lists, and dollar amounts are shown as published. We checked details on 2026-10-28, and on 2026-10-29 for Candy AI, Secrets AI and SpicyChat.

Eleven alternatives and who each one suits

The entries below cover memory tools, dialogue setup, visuals, customisation, value, privacy and age checks. Ratings use the site-wide eight-criterion methodology. Each entry opens with the main difference from Replika and then sets out the limit or risk to weigh.

#1

Nomi: best for a structured, recurring companion

4.2/5
  • Price / monthUS$15.99/mo
  • Free tier50 msg/day
  • NSFWyes
  • Age checkself declaration
  • PlatformsWeb, iOS

Nomi is the closest match if you want one or several long-running companions with a background that is easier to manage than Replika's saved-memory list. Its documented tools are persistent conversational memory, Mind Maps, backstories and shared notes. They let you store a fictional premise deliberately, but they do not guarantee recall, and Nomi publishes no context-window figure.

The free plan has no end date and allows 50 messages per day. Free messages are capped at 400 characters and paid messages at 800. You can start without a card, and voice features become read-only without a subscription. The official web comparison, checked 2026-10-28, lists Standard at US$15.99 per month, US$39.99 per three months or US$99.99 per year. Standard includes up to 10 companions, 10 group chats, voice calls and video. The Dutch App Store page did not load at that check, so we give no euro store price here, and the official pages do not confirm an iDEAL option or a BTW-inclusive total.

Nomi states that it does not use end-to-end encryption, so keep real personal details out of fictional dialogue. To delete the account, go to Profile, then Account Settings, then Delete account, verify by email and type DELETE. Personal information is then removed within about 28 days, subject to exceptions. Age is self-declared by date of birth, and every user and character must be 18+. Trustpilot showed 2.3 from 42 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Recurring 50 messages per day on the free plan
  • Notes, Mind Maps and backstories for fictional premises
  • Up to 10 companions and 10 group chats on Standard

What could be better

  • No end-to-end encryption
  • Only USD web prices; no confirmed euro total
  • Images limited to clothed photos under current policy

Character.AI: best for unlimited free text and a Dutch interface

4.1/5
  • Price / monthUS$9.99/mo
  • NSFWno
  • Age checkthird party
  • PlatformsWeb, iOS, Android

Character.AI suits readers who mostly want free text conversation with many characters and no daily counter. The official FAQ promises unlimited free messages, with a possible waiting room at busy times. Memory runs on pins: 15 on the free tier and 30 on Lite. The full c.ai+ memory suite adds private Lorebooks. Dutch is one of the App Store interface languages, which Replika's iOS listing does not offer. How well the chat itself handles Dutch is a separate question from the menu language.

Pornographic content is not allowed, and no paid plan removes the filter. Age assurance runs through Persona: age estimation, a selfie check when needed, and ID as a fallback. Character.AI says it does not receive identity images, and Persona deletes biometric data within 7 days.

In USD, c.ai+ costs US$9.99 per month or US$94.99 per year, and Lite starts at US$4.99 per month. The Dutch App Store, checked 2026-10-28, shows €9.99 and €99.99 for Character.AI+ and €2.99 and €5.99 for Lite, with no duration labels. The biggest concern is continuity. On 2026-10-12 the company announced a voluntary Chapter 11 sale process and said the platform may wind down if no viable bid emerges. It expects the sale in late November or early December 2026, and subscriptions keep billing in the meantime. The Garante also fined the company €158,000 on 2026-07-03, and an appeal is permitted.

What we like

  • Unlimited free messages per official FAQ
  • Dutch listed as an interface language
  • Third-party age assurance with stated biometric deletion

What could be better

  • Chapter 11 sale process with possible wind-down
  • No adult content on any plan
  • NL store prices lack period labels
US$9.99/month or US$94.99/year (c.ai+); NL store €9.99, €99.99, €2.99, €5.99 unlabelledFull review

Secrets AI: best for a daily free quota with automatic memories

3.9/5
  • Price / monthUS$19.99/mo
  • Free tier20 msg/day
  • NSFWyes
  • Age checkself declaration
  • PlatformsWeb

Secrets AI pairs a recurring free allowance with an adult companion format for fictional characters. Free accounts get 20 sent messages per day, and the counter resets 24 hours after the first message. Custom characters have a separate ceiling of 100 messages in total. The service automatically saves important details for each companion alongside the conversation context, though it publishes no recall size.

Regular prices, checked 2026-10-29, are US$19.99 per month or US$109.99 per year for Premium, which works out at US$9.17 per month. Ultimate costs US$39.99 per month or US$319.99 per year. Premium includes 8,000 Moments per month and Ultimate 15,000, both with unlimited messaging. Media and voice use up Moments: a Premium image costs 50, an audio-call minute 50, and a fixed 8-second basic video without audio 600. A seasonal sale discounts only the first term. We do not count free voice calling as promised, because the tier guide contradicts itself on that point.

You can pay by Visa, Mastercard or Discover, or by crypto with a US$20 minimum. Crypto is generally non-refundable. Card statements show S LABS INC. The refund policy includes the EU 14-day withdrawal right, applied in full or in proportion depending on use. Age is self-declared, and the service may ask for further verification. Characters based on real people are prohibited. Trustpilot showed 4.5 from 287 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • 20 free messages per day, reset every 24 hours
  • Automatic per-companion memories
  • EU 14-day withdrawal described in refund policy

What could be better

  • Moments for media and calls run out quickly
  • USD pricing only; euro total not confirmed
  • Free voice calls not guaranteed
US$19.99/month or US$109.99/year Premium (checked 2026-10-29)

SpicyChat: best for long context on a euro price list

3.6/5
  • Price / month5,95 €/mo
  • Free tierNSFW on free
  • NSFWyes
  • Age checkthird party
  • PlatformsWeb

SpicyChat suits readers whose main complaint is that long scenes forget earlier details. Its paid tiers publish context sizes: 4,000 tokens on Get A Taste, 8,000 on True Supporter and 32,000 on I'm All In. Older documentation still lists 16K for the top tier. These figures are capacities, not recall tests. Free accounts get core chat, the character library and 3 user personas, and adult text is available on the free tier behind explicit-content and blur settings.

New prices took effect on 2026-09-08, with the same numbers in euro as in USD. Get A Taste costs €5.95 per month or €60 per year, True Supporter €19.95 or €199.95, and I'm All In €29.95 or €299.95. Card payments renew, while crypto and PaybyBank payments are one-time. The official pages do not confirm iDEAL or SEPA. Statements show NDAI.CC. Older subscriptions keep their previous price only until the plan changes or lapses, and a downgrade loses that rate for good.

Age assurance uses a video selfie, with ID as a possible fallback. The published list of mandatory regions covers the UK, France, Italy, Australia and selected US states. The Netherlands is not named, which does not mean it is exempt. To cancel, go to Profile, Manage Subscription, then Cancel subscription. Cancelling does not delete your content. The native iOS app was removed, so iPhone users run it as a home-screen web app. Trustpilot showed 2.0 from 62 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Published context sizes up to 32,000 tokens
  • Euro price list from €5.95 per month
  • Three free personas and free core chat

What could be better

  • No native iOS app
  • Legacy price lost on any plan change
  • iDEAL and SEPA not confirmed

Talkie: best for a store-billed app without adult content

3.6/5
  • Price / month9,99 €/mo
  • NSFWno
  • PlatformsWeb, iOS, Android

Talkie fits readers who want a character app billed in euro through the App Store or Google Play and who do not want adult content. Its rules prohibit pornographic and violent content. The Dutch App Store, checked 2026-10-28, lists a 1 Month item at €9.99 and 1 Month Talkie+ Pro at €29.99. The official pages do not confirm the benefits behind each item or any matching web price. You cancel through the Apple or Google subscription settings of the store you bought from.

Talkie's FAQ says earlier conversation can be forgotten because of technical memory limits, so if memory is why you are leaving Replika, do not expect an improvement here. The iOS app is titled Talkie Lab and advertises image, video and audio creation, but the same features may not exist on the web or Android. Dutch is not one of the listed interface languages.

The age rules do not line up. The terms set a minimum of 16 in the Netherlands, while the Apple listing is rated 18+. The operator is SUBSUP PTE. LTD. in Singapore, and its privacy policy keeps data only as long as needed, with no fixed period. The CA App Store showed a 4.5 rating, and Google Play listed 50M+ downloads.

What we like

  • Clear euro amounts on the Dutch App Store
  • Store billing with store cancellation
  • Strict non-adult content rules

What could be better

  • Memory limits acknowledged in FAQ
  • No Dutch interface listed
  • Terms minimum age differs from store rating
NL App Store: 1 Month €9.99; Talkie+ Pro €29.99 (checked 2026-10-28)

Janitor AI: best for an interactive-story catalogue with a clear store price

3.5/5Limited data (4/8 criteria)
  • Price / month14,99 €/mo
  • PlatformsWeb, iOS

Janitor AI, sold on iPhone as Janitor: Interactive Stories by publisher JanitorAI, suits readers who want a large catalogue of story characters rather than one central companion. The app is free, with optional Janitor+ purchases. On the Dutch App Store, checked 2026-10-28, Janitor+ costs €14.99 per month or €99 per year. These are the store's displayed amounts, so do not add BTW on top. We did not test final checkout. The iPhone app needs iOS 15.5 or later and lists English as its interface language.

The listing is rated 18+ and mentions in-app Age Assurance, without naming the provider or the procedure. The official pages do not list a full privacy policy to read when we checked. The App Store privacy label is the developer's own declaration, which Apple does not verify. It lists contact info, user content, identifiers, usage and diagnostics as not linked to identity.

The operator is JanitorAI, INC in Claymont, Delaware. The CA App Store showed 4.2 from 467 ratings, and Trustpilot showed 2.5 from 35 reviews on 2026-10-28. With no published memory figure or deletion route, Janitor AI works better for browsing a catalogue than for keeping one companion going long term.

What we like

  • Clear monthly and yearly euro prices on the Dutch store
  • Large interactive-story format
  • Age Assurance referenced in the listing

What could be better

  • No reviewable privacy policy at our check
  • No published memory capacity
  • English interface only on iOS

Candy AI: best for a short preview before a visual-focused plan

3.2/5
  • Price / month$13.99/mo
  • NSFWyes
  • Age checkself declaration
  • PlatformsWeb

Candy AI is aimed at adults who care most about images and video with fictional characters and who can budget for tokens on top of a subscription. The free allowance is a one-off preview: 5 chat messages across characters, 1 created character and 1 generated image in total, with no stated daily renewal. Images come in realistic and anime styles. Premium includes 100 tokens per month. Premium Plus includes 330 tokens, 20 memory slots, 5 chat clones and a 10% top-up bonus on quarterly and yearly plans. Candy AI does not publish what each action costs in tokens, so 100 tokens does not mean 100 actions.

Public prices, checked 2026-10-28, carry a dollar symbol without saying which currency it is. The first month is 9.99 and renews at 13.99. Quarterly is 26.97, shown as 8.99 a month, and yearly is 47.88, shown as 3.99 a month. The official pages do not confirm a euro or iDEAL checkout. The listed methods are card, crypto, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and statements show EverAI.

The operator is EverAI Limited in Malta. Its privacy policy, dated 2026-10-19, allows chats to be used for AI training, and de-identified interactions may be reviewed by humans. Account data is kept up to 3 years after last activity and financial records for 10 years. The EU withdrawal right covers the initial purchase for 14 days, minus a prorated deduction for services used, and does not cover renewals. To unsubscribe, go to My Profile, Settings, Unsubscribe. To delete, go to Settings, Danger Zone, Delete Account. The Trustpilot profile was shown as removed on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Yearly plan has the lowest displayed monthly equivalent
  • Realistic and anime image styles
  • EU 14-day withdrawal on the initial purchase

What could be better

  • Only 5 free messages in total
  • Introductory month renews at a higher price
  • Chats may be used for training

Nastia: best for one flat web price and signup age checks

4.0/5
  • Price / monthUS$15.99/mo
  • Free tierNSFW on free
  • NSFWyes
  • Age checkthird party
  • PlatformsWeb

Nastia suits readers who want a single flat paid plan for an adult companion with fictional characters. Unlimited is published at US$15.99 per month and is described as covering unlimited text, voice messages, image and video tools, and custom voices. The terms say applicable taxes come on top, so the Dutch total can be higher than the headline figure. The free tier includes one companion with daily token limits, but Nastia does not publish the number. Adult content is available on the free tier.

Its age checks go further than a plain click-through. After the normal 18+ declaration, users in the countries named at signup go through independent verification, which can mean on-device age estimation, a card check or ID. Nastia says it receives only the result, time and country, not the ID, photo or date of birth. The listed payment options are Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with Visa branding on the homepage. We did not test checkout in the Netherlands.

Leaving takes two steps. First cancel the membership under Membership, Manage, Danger Zone, because an active subscription blocks account deletion. Then delete the account under Account, Danger zone, by typing the phrase delete my account and your password. The operator is Nastia Cybernetics in France, and the terms state US hosting. Enforcement records may be kept for up to seven years. Trustpilot showed 2.1 from 19 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Single published Unlimited price
  • Independent age checks in applicable countries
  • Documented account-deletion steps

What could be better

  • Taxes added on top of the USD price
  • Free daily token limit not quantified
  • Subscription must be cancelled before deletion

CrushOn AI: best for free models plus monthly Pro credits

3.6/5
  • Price / monthUS$5.99/mo
  • NSFWlimited
  • PlatformsWeb

CrushOn AI suits readers who want to keep chatting for free and spend paid credits only on stronger models. The current landing page lists unlimited chats on free models, 100 Pro credits per month and 20 Inspiration Replies per day. Note that the 100 Pro credits are monthly, not daily. Standard costs US$5.99 per month with 2,000 Pro credits. Premium costs US$14.99 with 6,000 Pro credits and long-term memory. The top Imperial tier costs US$199.99 with 125,000 Pro credits and 30 custom voice slots.

Adult roles sit behind a Hidden Content switch. The rules prohibit fictional characters under 18 and real-life images. Memory depends on model and tier, and CrushOn publishes no recall test. Voice comes with 40+ presets, and the listed languages include German but not Dutch.

Getting out is harder. You can delete individual messages only if they are newer than 24 hours, and an active subscription may block account deletion. You cancel through the platform you paid with: Apple, Google, SubscribeStar or Paymentwall. Most started periods are non-refundable. Trustpilot showed 1.8 from 22 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Unlimited free-model chat
  • Low entry price of US$5.99 per month
  • Long-term memory on Premium

What could be better

  • Message deletion limited to the last 24 hours
  • Refunds depend on the payment provider
  • Older documentation conflicts with current free limits

Kupid AI: best for fixed weekly media quotas

2.9/5
  • NSFWlimited
  • PlatformsWeb

Kupid AI publishes its media allowances per week, which makes visual use easier to plan than with an open token pool. Pro includes 25 photos, 8 videos, 12 voice minutes and 4 custom characters per week. Ultra includes 75 photos, 25 videos, 35 voice minutes and 8 custom characters. The pricing comparison claims a context of the last 100 messages, which is not the same as tested long-term recall. Without an account you get a few test messages before registration, with no confirmed count or reset.

The pricing page displays €3.44 per week for Pro next to a crossed-out €12.99, and €5.75 per week for Ultra next to a crossed-out €24.99. It does not print the upfront total you are billed or which billing tab is selected. The page also says one payment and nothing renews, while the subscription terms talk about cancellation, so check the actual checkout before paying. You cancel by emailing support, and digital sales are final once used. Coins that come with a subscription, trial or promotion expire after six months. Coin packs you buy directly do not.

The operator is Servalot Ltd in Cyprus. Although its marketing stresses anonymity, its privacy policy normally keeps personal information for six years after account closure. You request erasure through the controller contact. Trustpilot showed 3.1 from 17 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Weekly photo, video and voice quotas stated per tier
  • Euro amounts displayed on the pricing page
  • Purchased coin packs do not expire

What could be better

  • Upfront total and renewal terms unclear
  • Cancellation only by contacting support

GirlfriendGPT: best for a browser character catalogue with custom creation

3.1/5
  • Price / monthFree tier
  • NSFWyes
  • Age checkself declaration
  • PlatformsWeb

GirlfriendGPT runs at gptgirlfriend.online and is operated by NextDay AI Incorporated in Montreal. Similar names exist, so check the domain before signing up. It suits adults who want a browser-based catalogue of fictional characters and the option to make their own. It installs as a web app on any device, and an Android package is offered, but we found no native store edition. Voice messages are listed.

The free start is small. The terms illustrate 10 to 20 messages in total across 2 to 3 characters, not a daily grant, and you can earn extra credits through tasks. Paid plans include 5,000 to 20,000 messages per month, and unused messages do not roll over. The official pages do not confirm a euro price, an iDEAL option or a BTW-inclusive total. Visa, Mastercard and Discover icons appear in the policy footer, and CCBill is supported.

To cancel, use Manage subscription in your account, which sends a confirmation email. With CCBill, go to Billing, then Cancel Subscription. Access lasts until the end of the paid period. Refunds are generally limited to payment errors or technical problems, and other requests are reviewed case by case within 14 days. Erasing your data takes a separate request to support. The privacy policy, dated 2026-04-13, normally keeps personal data for six years after closure. Age is self-declared. Trustpilot showed 2.7 from only 4 reviews on 2026-10-28.

What we like

  • Large paid message allocations per month
  • Custom character creation in the browser
  • Canadian operator with GDPR rights described for EU users

  • Only 10 to 20 illustrative free messages in total
  • No euro price or local payment method confirmed
  • Six-year retention after closure

Saving money: annual terms, introductory prices and tokens

Annual billing makes the biggest difference, but only when the monthly and yearly items belong to the same tier. The figures below use the published prices quoted above.

Token budgets need their own sums. Secrets AI Premium's 8,000 monthly Moments cover about 160 Premium images at 50 each, or 160 call minutes at 50 each, or 13 basic videos at 600 each, not all three together. Bought top-ups do not expire, but you need an active paid membership to use them. Candy AI publishes no per-action cost for its 100 monthly Premium tokens, so you cannot tell how many actions they buy. Kupid AI's weekly quotas are easier to track, though some granted coins expire after six months.

Crossed-out prices and introductory months do not show what you will keep paying. Kupid AI puts weekly-looking amounts beside crossed-out figures, Candy AI's first month renews higher, and Secrets AI's sale covers only the first term.

On BTW: a Dutch App Store amount is the store's displayed price, so do not add 21% on top. For USD web prices the official pages do not confirm how BTW is handled at checkout, and Nastia's terms say taxes are added. Before using a web checkout, check whether it shows a euro total and whether iDEAL, SEPA or PayPal is really offered. For Replika, the documented PayPal cancellation confirms an existing payment route, not an option for new purchases. Crypto purchases are one-time at SpicyChat and generally non-refundable at Secrets AI.

Safety, privacy and a clean exit

Every service on this page is for adults, and roleplay should involve fictional adult characters only. The age checks differ in strength. Character.AI uses Persona for age estimation, selfie checks and an ID fallback. SpicyChat uses a video selfie, with possible ID, in the regions it names. Nastia applies independent verification in the countries shown at signup. Nomi, Candy AI, Secrets AI and GirlfriendGPT rely mainly on self-declaration. Janitor AI mentions in-app Age Assurance without naming a provider. Replika requires 18+ in its privacy policy and App Store listing but does not publish its current verification procedure.

None of the listed services has published an end-to-end encryption guarantee, and Nomi says plainly that it does not use it. Training permissions also differ. Candy AI's policy allows chats to be used for AI training. Replika says its third-party AI processors are contractually barred from training their own models on conversations, but that says nothing about Luka's internal practice. Keep real names, addresses, workplaces and photos of yourself out of any companion chat.

Data often stays around longer than the account you can see:

Cancelling and deleting are separate steps. Deleting your Replika account does not cancel billing, and neither does removing the app. Cancel first in the app or at my.replika.com under Settings, then Subscription, then Cancel subscription, and confirm through the platform you paid with. For PayPal, go to Settings, Payments, Manage Automatic Payments and select Replika. Then delete the account under Settings, Account Settings, Delete Replika, giving a reason and your password. You can remove saved memories one by one, but clearing the whole Replika history means deleting the account. GDPR requests go to [email protected].

The regulatory record deserves attention, but keep it in proportion. Replika's €5 million Garante fine of 2025-04-10 is under appeal and is not a Dutch ban. Character.AI received a €158,000 Garante fine on 2026-07-03. It was also part of the US FTC's 6(b) study of companion chatbots on 2025-09-11, which is an information request, not a finding of wrongdoing.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a better AI than Replika?

That depends on what you want to improve. For an editable background and a recurring free quota, Nomi has notes, Mind Maps and 50 messages per day. For unlimited free text and a Dutch interface, Character.AI fits, though its Chapter 11 sale process announced 2026-10-12 is a continuity risk. For long scenes, SpicyChat publishes context sizes up to 32,000 tokens. The AI girlfriend apps comparison lists these alongside other companion services.

Is Nomi AI better than Replika?

They differ on specific points. Nomi's free plan has a stated 50 messages per day, while Replika's free chat has no published cap. Nomi Standard allows up to 10 companions, where Replika is built around a single companion. Replika lets you remove individual saved memories, and Nomi uses notes, backstories and Mind Maps. Nomi states it has no end-to-end encryption and deletes personal data in about 28 days. Its prices are in USD (US$15.99 per month, checked 2026-10-28), while Replika shows euro items on the Dutch App Store.

What has happened to Replika?

Two things have changed. The plan line-up now runs from Pro to Ultra and Platinum. Ultra adds saving messages to memory, and Platinum lists video recognition and 10 realistic selfie videos with no stated period. Separately, on 2025-04-10 the Italian Garante announced a €5 million fine over historical legal-basis, transparency and age-verification failures. The authority notes an appeal, and the decision is not a ban in the Netherlands.

Is Replika no longer intimate?

Replika's published tier descriptions list relationship status, activities and voice calls under Pro, but they say nothing about an explicit-content allowance. If that is why you would pay, check the app's settings first. Among the alternatives, Nomi's official comparison describes adult text with clothed photos, and SpicyChat allows adult text on free accounts behind content settings. The NSFW AI chat overview compares these rules for fictional adult characters.

What is the difference between Replika Ultra and Pro?

Pro includes relationship status, activities, image generation, voice messages and calls, and daily gems. Ultra includes everything in Pro plus improved conversations, self-reflection and saving messages to memory. On the Dutch App Store, checked 2026-10-28, Annual ULTRA is €74.99. The other store items, such as MONTHLY €8.99 and annual labels at €50.99, €55.99 and €64.99, do not name a tier, so check inside the app which plan an item unlocks.

Are there apps like Replika that are free?

Several offer recurring free access. Character.AI promises unlimited free messages. Nomi allows 50 per day and Secrets AI 20 per day. CrushOn AI offers unlimited chat on free models plus 100 Pro credits per month, and SpicyChat includes free core chat and 3 personas. Others give only a one-off preview: Candy AI allows 5 messages in total, and GirlfriendGPT's terms illustrate 10 to 20 messages in total.

Character AI vs Replika: which suits a long-term companion?

Character.AI is built around many characters, with pins and Lorebooks for memory. It allows no adult content and uses Persona age checks. Replika centres on one companion with saved memories and paid relationship features. Character.AI lists a Dutch interface and unlimited free messages, but its operator is in a court-supervised sale process that may end in a wind-down, and subscriptions keep billing until then. Replika's operator faces an appealed Italian fine but no Dutch restriction.

How do I stop paying for Replika before switching?

Cancel before you delete anything, because deleting the account or the app does not stop billing. In the app or at my.replika.com, go to Settings, then Subscription, then Cancel subscription, and confirm through the platform you paid with. PayPal subscribers can also cancel under Manage Automatic Payments. Replika treats sales as final once access starts, and Apple or Google refunds go through those stores. The Replika review covers the full account steps.
