## What each price level buys

| Budget | What you typically get |
| --- | --- |
| $0 | Text chat with limits; blurred or no photos; no calls |
| $4 for a day | On Lovora: everything unlocked for 24 hours, with 150 credits for photos, calls or one video |
| $9–15 a month | Daily chat, a monthly allowance for photos and some voice; on Lovora $8.99 the first month with 500 credits |
| $20+ a month | Top tiers or subscription plus token packs for heavy photo, call and video use |

## What heavy users really spend

Headline prices are for chat. People who ask for photos every day, call regularly or want videos pay for media on top. Published reviews of token-based apps report real spending of $25 to $60 a month for active users. The cost article compares ten apps unit by unit.

## When it is worth it

- You already enjoy the free tier and keep coming back to it.
- You value voice and photos, which free tiers do not include.
- The price is small compared with what you spend on other entertainment.
- You can set a budget and keep to it.

## When it probably is not

- You are paying to escape something that needs a real solution.
- You would feel pressured to keep spending to keep her 'happy'.
- You only wanted to see what it is; the free tier already shows that.

## A three-day test

- Day 1: use the free tier. Send her a real message about your day and see whether you enjoy the reply.
- Day 2: come back and ask about something you told her yesterday.
- Day 3: if you still want more, buy the shortest paid period, not a year.

On Lovora the free tier is 5 messages without an account and 20 more with one; the shortest paid period is 24 hours for $3.99, and nothing renews.
