Best Replika Alternatives

Nomi keeps a long-running companion that remembers you and drops the one-companion limit. Its free plan has no end date: 50 messages a day of up to 400 characters, no card needed. A paid plan adds voice messages and calls, up to 10 Nomis and 10 group chats, 800-character messages and short videos. The US App Store lists the Standard Plan at $15.99 (monthly, inferred) or $99.99 a year.

Mind Map 2.0 goes further than Replika's Memory tab, showing memories as a graph and a searchable table you can edit, and relationship types (Friend, Mentor, Romantic or Custom) set the tone. The differences: no 3D avatar (Nomis send AI-generated selfies instead), no AR or VR, and sign-up only with Google or Apple. Nomi says it never sells personal data, its App Store label lists no tracking data, and accounts are deleted within about 28 days. Read our Nomi review or the head-to-head Replika vs Nomi.

Kindroid documents the most complete call features we found: real-time voice calls that keep running in the background, live video calls with an animated avatar and custom voices designed or built from samples. Calls run on audio credits (400 a minute plus the voice cost) from a monthly subscriber allowance.

The catch for a Replika user is price. Kindroid retired its free plan on October 1, 2026: new accounts get a one-time 50-message preview and then turn read-only. The US App Store lists $15.99 (monthly, inferred), $42.99 for 3 months or $159.99 a year, plus Ultra ($28.99) and MAX ($68.99) monthly add-ons. In return you get up to 10 Kindroids and 20 group chats, layered memory, chat export, encryption at rest and in transit, and NSFW roleplay explicitly allowed in private chats.

If the free part of Replika matters most, Character.AI documents the most generous free tier on this list: "free and unlimited messaging for ALL users", plus free Character Voice and free two-way Character Calls on mobile and web. Paid plans are optional: (c.ai) lite at $4.99 a month and c.ai+ at $9.99 a month (US prices).

It is a different kind of product, though. Instead of one companion, you chat with any of more than 10 million user-made Characters or create your own. Adult content is banned for everyone, the free tier shows ads, and some adults are asked for a Persona selfie check. And the company filed for Chapter 11 on October 12, 2026; the platform will be wound down if no buyer keeps it running.

Paradot is closest to Replika's format: one customizable "AI Being" with a 3D-style avatar and a living space, personality traits, flaws and values, "Inner Self" sliders and several relationship statuses. It chats in six languages and advertises long-term memory, without published numbers.

It also runs where Replika does not: macOS and Windows installers (last updated May 2024) sit next to the Android app (10M+ downloads, updated September 24, 2026) and a web login with Google or Apple. But its iPhone link returns a 404 page, prices are not published (Google Play shows in-app items from $0.49 to $69.99) and all sales are final. Our Paradot review lists what is and is not documented.

EVA AI (sold as EVA AI Soulmate) is a mobile companion whose store text centers on a relationship that grows over time, with characters that remember details. You can create your own character or pick a ready-made personality, and the Terms describe voice chat plus a video call feature "where available" (a July 2026 Google Play reviewer says video chat was missing).

Like Replika, it stays inside store content rules: its June 2026 Terms forbid sexually explicit or adult-themed content. The US App Store lists unlabelled 1-month memberships from $11.99 to $24.99 and a 12-month one at $47.99, and Neurons (500 for $9.99) are spent on top of Premium for "romantic messages" and gifts. There is no web app, and store purchases are not refunded under its Terms. See our EVA AI review.

Romantic AI suits Replika users who liked the Romantic Partner status and want more than one partner. It has iOS and Android apps plus a web app, a Romantic or Flirty mode, and a library of AI girlfriends, boyfriends and anime characters; you can chat with several at once in separate chats, and Premium lets you create your own. The web app sits behind an 18+ gate, and Premium unlocks "romantic roleplay" and "unblurred spicy replies".

The US App Store lists subscriptions from $2.99 a week, $7.99 a month and $44.99 a year without naming them. Hearts pay for photos, audio and gifts, and store reviewers say messages cost Hearts too. No voice calls or memory system are described, and anonymized chat data may train its models. Our Romantic AI review has the details.
