Fair, transparent, reviewed monthly.
The smallest pack is $5, and how far it goes depends on which voice mode you use:
Whichever voice you pick, the companion is the same. The model, the memory, the character — all identical. Voice mode only changes how the companion sounds when it speaks back to you. None of these tiers gives you a “smarter” companion; they’re three voice options on the same conversation.
Aria gives each companion a custom voice with emotional inflection. Our voice vendor prices these well above their standard voices — for reasons we don’t fully understand — and we pass the cost through honestly rather than hide it in a marked-up base price for the other tiers.
Lite uses clear, expressive voices that cost us less, so they cost you less — almost 50% more time for the same money.
Device uses your phone’s built-in voice instead of one we synthesize on a server, which skips the per-round TTS charge entirely — good for hands-on use, quiet rooms, or stretching credit further.
You can switch modes any time. Credits never expire.
Conversations — apart from Remembrance sessions — aren’t kept after they end. They happen, the companion remembers what mattered, and the transcript itself is gone.
When a conversation holds something worth keeping — a story your children should have, a chapter of your own life told in your voice, a memory you don’t want to lose — switch to Remembrance mode for that session. Remembrances are preserved: return any time to edit, refine, or combine them, share one with someone you choose, or print them as a small book. It costs a little more per round (it covers long-term storage), and it is the only way a conversation persists.
Most of the per-round cost is the voice itself — the speech synthesis that gives your companion her voice, and the transcription that lets her hear you. That is why the three voice modes are priced differently: you are choosing the voice. The AI model that holds the conversation, and the infrastructure that preserves your Remembrances, make up the rest. We review pricing monthly and adjust to track our actual costs.
