What our research says

FunFun

FunFun is a straightforward AI-companion chat app -- customizable character, persistent memory, generated photos -- from an operator, Chaindesk SAS, that is at least identifiable, unlike several similar apps. The research behind this record is weaker than most in this batch because the vendor's own pricing page was unreachable, so cost figures here come from third-party reviewers rather than the company directly.

Pros

  • Company operating it is identifiable by name and country, unlike many similar apps
  • Persistent memory of stated preferences across sessions
  • Supports multiple companions on one account rather than one-per-signup
  • Character appearance and personality are both customizable, not just a preset list

Cons

  • Vendor's own pricing page was not reachable, so exact current prices are unconfirmed
  • No free tier could be confirmed -- no first-party evidence of free usage was found
  • No content-moderation or safety policy details were visible in what was fetched

Replika

The longest-running mainstream AI companion, with memory and avatar features tuned for an ongoing relationship rather than utility chat. Its history cuts both ways: policy shifts around romantic content in 2023 showed how much the experience can change underneath you, and pricing is only discoverable inside the app.

Pros

  • Long-term memory of personal details persists across sessions
  • Free tier is genuinely usable for text companionship
  • Mature product with nearly a decade of iteration and a very large user base
  • Voice calls, AR and coaching activities go beyond plain text chat

Cons

  • Pro pricing is hidden until the in-app paywall and shifts with region and promos
  • Conversation quality trails frontier chatbots for open-ended or factual topics
  • Feature availability has changed abruptly in the past, affecting paying users
