How to read an AI companion pricing page without getting played
The subscription is rarely the whole bill. Here is the order to check: memory, message caps, tokens, and the cancel path.
Guide · facts checked Oct 26, 2026
Written for the moment you have to decide. Entity records below stay synced with their files.
Most AI companion pricing pages are designed to answer one question: what is the cheapest number I can put on this button? The number is real. It is also rarely the number you will pay after the first month.
Start with memory, not messages
A plan that gives you more messages but the same context window is a trap for long-form roleplay. The character forgets the scene and you spend the evening re-establishing it. Look for the context number and the memory features before you look at the message cap.
Separate chat from media
Images, voice, and video usually run on a second meter: tokens, coins, or credits. A subscription can include a small monthly allowance and still leave you buying more. If you want images, price the token pack before you price the subscription.
Check the cancel path
Find the cancellation page before you pay. If you cannot find it in under a minute, that is information. Also check whether the plan renews at the promotional price or the list price.
Use the free tier as a test, not a home
Free tiers are for finding out whether the character quality is good enough. They are not a long-term plan. The apps that keep a useful free tier are the exception, and the entity records below mark which ones still do.
Read the record, then decide
The panels below carry the plans and the sources. Do not trust a single blog post, including this one, for a price that changes by region and app store. Open the checkout, read the renewal line, and take a screenshot.
