# Replika Alternative (2026): Six Companions Compared on Memory, Content, Voice and Billing > What Replika does well, why people look elsewhere, and six alternatives — Nomi, Kindroid, Lovora, Candy AI, Kupid AI and Character.AI… Source: https://lovora.ai/blog/replika-alternative [Lovora Blog](https://lovora.ai/blog) · Published 2026-06-28 · updated 2026-10-12 What Replika does well, why people look elsewhere, and six alternatives — Nomi, Kindroid, Lovora, Candy AI, Kupid AI and Character.AI — compared from each company's own pricing and help pages, checked October 2026. Replika is the best-known AI companion app: a customisable 3D avatar, conversations built around emotional support and self-reflection, voice messages and calls, and an augmented-reality mode. Its help center describes four programs — Free Use, Pro, Ultra and Platinum — and does not publish prices on the web: they are shown on the in-app subscription screens and in the app stores, and paid programs renew automatically until you cancel in the store where you bought them (source: [help.replika.com/hc/en-us/articles/39551043419149-Choosing-a-Subscription](https://help.replika.com/hc/en-us/articles/39551043419149-Choosing-a-Subscription)).

Every competitor detail below comes from that company's own pricing page, help center or terms, linked inline, and was checked in October 2026. Candy AI, Kupid AI and SpicyChat showed prices in euros to a visitor in Europe; prices differ by region and change often, so confirm them at checkout. ## What Replika does well It is worth being clear about what you would give up. Pro unlocks the Romantic Partner relationship status, romantic selfies, voice messages, background calls and roleplay during voice and AR calls, plus premium voices with different accents ([help.replika.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032500052-What-is-Replika-Pro](https://help.replika.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032500052-What-is-Replika-Pro)). Ultra, sold as an annual plan, adds more context-aware replies, daily self-reflection messages and memories you can save and see being used in a conversation ([help.replika.com/hc/en-us/articles/37292892831885-What-is-Replika-Ultra](https://help.replika.com/hc/en-us/articles/37292892831885-What-is-Replika-Ultra)) — few apps make memory that visible. Platinum adds real-time video recognition and up to 10 realistic selfie videos. If what you want is a calm, non-explicit confidant with an avatar you can see in your room, staying may be the right choice. ## Why people look for an alternative - Explicit content: Replika's help pages describe romance as a Pro feature but do not describe explicit roleplay, photos or video, so people who want those look elsewhere. - Price visibility: prices appear only inside the app and the stores, so you cannot compare them before installing. - Renewal: every paid program renews automatically until cancelled, and Replika does not refund partial months. - Media: short selfie videos exist only in Platinum, capped at 10. ## What to look for - Whether adult and romantic content is allowed, and how clearly the rules are stated. - Memory that matches Replika's sense of continuity. - Voice messages and live calls, and how calls are charged. - Billing: renewal, refunds, how you pay. - Language: whether chat and voice work in yours. ## Six alternatives at a glance Checked October 2026 against each company's own pages, linked in the sections below. "Not stated" means the official pages we read did not say. | App | Adult content | Voice | Photos / video | Price (official page) | Renews automatically | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Nomi | Text; photos stay clothed | Voice messages, calls | Selfies; video with a subscription | $15.99/month, $39.99/quarter, $99.99/year | Not stated | | Kindroid | Unfiltered chat; media follows local rules | Voice and video calls (subscribers) | Selfies, video selfies | Shown at checkout | Yes; the trial converts | | Lovora | Yes, within its rules | Voice notes, live calls (25 credits/min) | Photos 12 credits, ~5 s videos 150 credits | $3.99 for 24 hours; $8.99 first month (launch price) | No | | Candy AI | Yes (18+ images and video) | Voice (tokens) | Images, video (tokens) | €9.99 first month, then €13.99; €47.88/year | Yes | | Kupid AI | Yes | Voice messages (minutes per week) | Photos, video (weekly allowance) | Weekly, yearly or lifetime | No | | Character.AI | No | Voice, two-way calls | Not compared | Free; lite from $4.99/month; c.ai+ $9.99/month | Yes | ### Nomi The closest in spirit to Replika: Nomi presents short, medium and long-term memory as the core of the product, with voice messages, hands-free calls, selfies that show what she is wearing and doing, and group chats with several Nomis; it is free to start with no card ([nomi.ai/](https://nomi.ai/)). Nomi's own comparison page lists $15.99 a month, $39.99 a quarter or $99.99 a year, two images a day on the free plan, forty image credits a day for subscribers and video with a subscription ([nomi.ai/ai-today/replika-vs-nomi-2026-finding-enduring-ai-companionship/](https://nomi.ai/ai-today/replika-vs-nomi-2026-finding-enduring-ai-companionship/)). Its limit: by Nomi's own description, adult content is text plus clothed photos, so it suits intimacy in conversation more than explicit media. ### Kindroid Kindroid suits people who like to configure: a backstory and key memories she always refers to, cascaded memory reaching back hundreds or thousands of messages, long-term memory and keyword-triggered journal entries ([kindroid.ai/docs/article/memory/](https://kindroid.ai/docs/article/memory/)). Its FAQ calls it "neutrally aligned, unfiltered AI", while selfies and video selfies follow the content rules where you use it ([kindroid.ai/docs/article/faqs/](https://kindroid.ai/docs/article/faqs/)). Standard adds voice and video calls, daily selfies and 1 million audio credits a month ([kindroid.ai/v2/docs/subscriptions/](https://kindroid.ai/v2/docs/subscriptions/)); calls use 400 audio credits a minute ([kindroid.ai/docs/article/voice-calls-and-video-calls/](https://kindroid.ai/docs/article/voice-calls-and-video-calls/)). Limits: the free Lite model was retired on 1 October 2026, so new accounts get a one-time preview; the price appears only at checkout; and the 3-day trial needs a payment method and converts into a subscription. ### Lovora More than 130 companions (women and men, realistic or anime) plus a builder, in nine languages. Memory: the last 40 messages word for word and up to 15 lasting facts. Voice notes and calls cost 25 credits a minute, photos 12, five-second videos 150. 5 free messages, 20 more with an account. $3.99 for 24 hours; $8.99 a month, launch price until 31 December 2026 (list $18.99); $22.99 three months; $53.88 twelve months. Unlimited messages (fair use 500 a day); monthly plans add 500 credits. Nothing renews; pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay via third-party checkout, Telegram Stars or crypto. Age is checked only where the law requires it. ### Candy AI Candy AI is built around media. Its premium plan lists creating your own companion, 18+ images and videos, and unlimited text messages, with 100 tokens a month for images, voice and video ([candy.ai/subscriptions](https://candy.ai/subscriptions)). Shown to a visitor in Europe in October 2026: €9.99 for the first month then €13.99 a month, €26.97 a quarter or €47.88 a year. Its home page says it takes Visa, Mastercard and crypto ([candy.ai/](https://candy.ai/)). Limits: its terms cap free users at about 5 messages and state that subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period ([candy.ai/terms-of-service](https://candy.ai/terms-of-service)), and media beyond the included tokens is bought separately. ### Kupid AI Kupid AI offers realistic and anime characters, new ones every week, with photos, videos and voice messages ([kupid.ai/](https://www.kupid.ai/)). Its pricing page states "one payment, nothing renews" and lists weekly, yearly and lifetime options; the weekly Pro plan was shown at €12.99 under a time-limited discount ([kupid.ai/subscriptions](https://www.kupid.ai/subscriptions)). Allowances are weekly: Pro 25 photos, 8 videos and 12 minutes of voice messages; Ultra 75, 25 and 35 minutes; Pro remembers the last 30 messages and Ultra the last 100. Limits: weekly caps rather than a pool, a countdown that makes the real price hard to judge, and coins included with a plan expire after six months ([kupid.ai/terms-of-service](https://www.kupid.ai/terms-of-service)). ### Character.AI Character.AI has a large library of user-made characters, and its free plan keeps unlimited messaging ([support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/55388952900379--c-ai-lite-FAQ](https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/55388952900379--c-ai-lite-FAQ)). Character Calls allow two-way voice conversations in English and several other languages ([support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/23957274129691-Character-Calls-Voice-FAQ](https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/23957274129691-Character-Calls-Voice-FAQ)). The lite plan starts at $4.99 a month; c.ai+ renews at $9.99 a month or $94.99 a year ([support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/51248493096987-c-ai-Summer-Flash-Sale-Offer-Terms](https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/51248493096987-c-ai-Summer-Flash-Sale-Offer-Terms)). Its limit is the reason people leave Replika too: the help center states that pornographic content is against its terms and will not be supported at any point ([support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/15063955587611-What-about-NSFW](https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/15063955587611-What-about-NSFW)). ## How to choose - For Replika's emotional focus with deeper memory: Nomi or Kindroid. - For explicit photos and video: Candy AI, Kupid AI or Lovora; compare what each period includes, not the headline price. - If you do not want automatic renewal: Kupid AI and Lovora sell periods that do not renew; elsewhere, set a reminder before the renewal date. - For roleplay without explicit content: Character.AI. - If you write in a language other than English, test chat and voice in your language before paying. ## Keeping what you had Your Replika's history does not transfer. Write down her name, personality and the moments that mattered, and give them to the new companion in the first conversations; memory builds from what you tell her. ## FAQ ### What is the best Replika alternative? It depends on why you are leaving. For memory and emotional conversation, Nomi and Kindroid are closest. For explicit photos and video, Candy AI, Kupid AI and Lovora. For calls and periods that never renew, Lovora. For roleplay without explicit content, Character.AI. ### Why do people leave Replika? Most often for explicit content, which Replika's help pages do not describe, or because of price and automatic renewal. Replika shows its prices only in the app and the app stores. ### Is there a free Replika alternative? Character.AI keeps unlimited free messaging, and Nomi can be started without a card. Kindroid retired its free plan on 1 October 2026 and now offers a one-time preview. On Lovora, 5 messages need no account and a free account adds 20. ### Can I move my Replika memories to another app? None of the apps compared here says it imports Replika history. Write down her name, personality and the moments that mattered and tell them to the new companion; on Lovora up to 15 lasting facts are kept. ## The facts, documented - [How her memory works: what she keeps about you](https://lovora.ai/memory) - [Voice notes and voice calls](https://lovora.ai/voice-and-calls) - [What you can do for free — with and without an account](https://lovora.ai/free-access) ## Create your AI girlfriend Design her look, voice and personality in minutes.
