Free AI Companion With Memory

Nomi documents short-, medium- and long-term memory, an Identity Core and Mind Map 2.0, an interactive graph and table where you can edit what your Nomi remembers. Up to 50 entries per category are eligible for recall, up to 10 can be marked "high" priority, and each entry holds up to 10,000 characters. The free plan has no end date but allows only 50 messages a day, up to 400 characters each.

Nomipedia lists what paid plans add: voice, group chats (each with its own Mind Map), up to 10 Nomis, 800-character messages, more daily selfies, video and credits. Memory is not on that list, so we treat it as not paid, though we could not test it. The wiki also says recall "is not perfect", and no context size is published. See the Nomi review.

Janitor AI's free tier gives "unlimited chats with millions of bots" with a context of around 9,000 tokens on the built-in JLLM model; janitor+ ($12.99 a month) gives 5x more. Memory is that window plus a Chat Memory field you write yourself, and the help center says the model forgets the oldest text when the window fills. Scripts and lorebooks (beta) add triggered facts.

No automatic long-term memory is documented, and the docs do not say whether chats train JLLM. Adult rules and age checks are covered in our guide to free NSFW AI chat. See the Janitor AI review.

CrushOn.AI's pricing page lists 8K memory on the free plan, 200 historical messages per character, 50 recent chats and 4,000 characters pinned per chat (about 800 recommended per pin). Auto-Summarization turns older chat into long-term memory, with frequency set by tier, and Save Memories keeps up to 100 selected messages. We could not confirm how these two work on the free tier specifically.

The catch is explicit: "Chat History will be deleted after 7 days of inactivity". That undermines memory for anyone who chats weekly or less. Paid tiers raise memory to 16K (Standard, $5.99 a month) and 24K (Elite and Imperial), and CrushOn.AI's privacy policy says chats are used to train its models with no opt-out described. See the CrushOn.AI review.

Character.AI's Memory screen (May 2026) combines Story Memory with pinned messages: 15 pins on the free plan, 30 on (c.ai) lite and c.ai+. A Memory Usage bar shows how full the context is (a basic version on free), older context is compressed in the background, and the free plan includes a basic Lorebook. Facts, details captured automatically about you and the characters, are a c.ai+ feature. No context size is published, and an older help article admits characters "appear to forget things".

Messaging is unlimited on every plan, with ads and slow mode on free. The company filed for Chapter 11 on October 12, 2026, so memory built there may not last; see our news page. More in the Character.AI review.

Replika's help center describes a Memory tab that shows what your companion remembers; you can add, edit and delete entries, and a deeper layer draws on overall conversation history. Replika Ultra adds saved memories and shows which ones are in use. The app displays only the past four months of chat, but memories and diary entries remain. The company's own site says Replika 2.0 rebuilt its memory architecture (a marketing statement we could not check).

The help center says chatting "will always be free", the Terms call free use "limited access", and no message cap or memory size is published. Two 2026 store reviews describe a paywall mid-chat; these are user reports. One companion per account. See the Replika review.

SpicyChat publishes memory by tier: 4,096 tokens on free and Get A Taste, 8,192 on True Supporter and up to 32,768 on I'm All In, depending on the model. The free plan has no Memory Manager; that arrives with Get A Taste ($5.95 a month) and lets you add, edit, delete and pin memories of up to 250 characters each. Semantic Memory 2.0, which summarizes chats into memories automatically, starts at True Supporter ($19.95).

Free replies are capped at 180 tokens, and no message cap is published. See the SpicyChat review and plan guide.
