Visit OurDreamOur verdict
Candy AI wins on price and ease. The 12-month plan includes unlimited text and 100 tokens a month, and you can test it with 5 free messages, 1 custom character and 1 image. It also takes bank transfers, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and it refunds within 24 hours if you have used 20 tokens or fewer. The trade-off is memory that works within a conversation rather than long term, and no live calls or group chats.
OurDream gives more once you are in. Both its $19.99 monthly plan and its yearly plan include unlimited messages and 1,000 dreamcoins a month, with voice calls at 50 coins a minute and videos up to 60 seconds (see OurDream pricing for coin costs). It has no usable free tier, and a lapsed subscription blurs your saved images and videos. Pick OurDream if you already know you will subscribe and want calls.
