Chai is mobile-first user-generated characters with strict free-plan caps. AI Anyone has the same kind of character creation but pairs it with a curated library of 13,000+ minds, and unlimited free messages.
Unlimited free messages with the full library. Pro is $20/mo for 240 minutes of voice calls every 30 days and chat that stays on the full model.
Mix of both. Curated library plus characters anyone can create in one sentence and publish.
Yes. Voice-picks happen automatically when you make a character.
Mobile. A native app and a swipe-first discovery loop make browsing characters on a phone genuinely pleasant in a way a browser tab does not fully match, even with Add to Home Screen. If your use is almost entirely on a phone, weigh that honestly.
