Compare
Honest, dated comparisons against the apps people most often weigh us up with. Every page states where the other app is still the better pick — because different tools fit different storytellers, and you'll verify our claims anyway.

Automatic, editable memory against pinned messages and a manual notebook — plus a yearly price 37% lower than c.ai+. Character AI keeps the edge on library size, voice, and platforms.
On Polybuzz, permanent memory costs $29.90/month and regenerations can cost coins. Here, memory ships on every plan. Polybuzz wins on library size, voice, and visual extras.
Flat pricing at roughly half of Linky's $17/month Premium, no gacha coins, and memory that outlasts 12 exchanges. Linky wins if voice and collectible cards are your thing.
Emochi has no official iOS app — PersonaChat is native on iPhone and iPad, with automatic memory on every plan. Emochi wins on anime image generation and Android.
The one migration that's genuinely easy: PersonaChat imports Chub JSON cards in one tap. Normal App Store billing vs crypto-only, $9.99 vs $20/month. Chub wins on library scale and lorebooks. Import guide.
Three things set PersonaChat apart regardless of which app you're coming from: long-term memory that works automatically on every plan — and that you can review and edit; a choice of five tuned AI models (or bring your own OpenRouter key) at one flat price; and conversations stored on your device with zero chat logs kept.
