AICompare AI companions by how you use them
Choose a conversation format first, then compare its allowance and cost across providers. This guide separates the questions that matter for chat, voice and media.
Our first commercial placement is Candy AI: character chat, voice and media in one service.
If conversation comes first
Check message limits, available character types and whether your preferred chat mode needs credits. Judge the style from an available preview instead of assuming that a larger character library means better replies. We have not measured the services’ conversational quality or memory against each other.
If you expect to use voice
Distinguish voice messages, narration and live AI calls: they can have different costs. Check whether billing is per action or per minute, whether your preferred character supports the feature and whether the account includes an allowance.
If images or video matter most
Check the generation cost, output limits, plan restrictions and default visibility. Decide how often you expect to create media. A separate credit balance can change the value of a subscription considerably.
Promptchan is a related media-focused option that also offers chat; its overview covers the published plan information.
If you want a custom character
Check which attributes you can set and whether creation is limited. Decide whether you need a private character or intend to share it. Creation, publication and generated media may have separate permissions and usage costs.

Make the comparison personal to your budget
Write down one typical week of use and check what that would consume. Keep a separate limit for optional credits. If the provider does not clearly explain a cost or a cancellation condition, resolve that question before paying.
