Try Selira AI freeOur verdict
Selira AI is the pick if you do not want to pay yet. Free text chat has no cap and you can make 2 companions, though free history is deleted after 3 days. Lite costs $7.99 month to month, under Candy AI's $13.99, and adds 75 image or video credits a month (the Selira AI pricing page lists the higher tiers). It also runs group chats and personas, which Candy AI does not.
Candy AI scores better on trust: a Malta-registered operator named in the footer, a statement descriptor that reads EverAI, and a 24-hour refund window if you have used 20 tokens or fewer. Its yearly plan ($3.99 a month) includes unlimited text and 100 tokens a month, but the free plan stops at 5 messages. Selira AI's paid plans are non-refundable except where the law requires. Neither app offers live voice calls.

- You want a refund option in the first day
- You want a large ready-made character roster
- You want uncapped text chat on the free plan
