AI Dungeon
Still the deepest AI text-adventure product there is, with seven years of scenario library behind it, and the only one where memory and world-state tooling is the actual product. It is entertainment, not a writing assistant — do not buy it expecting to finish a manuscript.
Pros
- Memory, world info and scenario tooling are far more developed than in general chatbots used for roleplay
- Multiple model choices per tier, including newer models added through 2026
- Native iOS and Android apps, not just a mobile web wrapper
- Large public scenario library gives an immediate starting point
Cons
- Five-tier ladder from $14.99 to $99.99 is steep, and context length is the thing being sold at every rung
- Credits do double duty for images and for extra context, so heavy sessions drain them quickly
- No API, so scenarios cannot be driven from outside the platform
- The service has changed content and moderation policy sharply in the past, which still colours community trust
