Chai is mobile-first user-generated characters with strict free-plan caps. AI Anyone has the same kind of character creation but pairs it with a curated library of 22,572 minds, and unlimited free messages.
Unlimited free messages with the full library. Pro is $20/mo for 240 minutes of voice calls every 30 days and chat that stays on the full model.
