We publish competitor wins on purpose — a comparison that never loses isn't a comparison.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Notes | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dippy Super | $9.99 | — | premium tier — enhanced AI/memory, image sharing, custom themes, priority support (perks official s1, price third-party s3) | reported |
| Full-access plan | $14.99 | — | third-party reported; 'pricing details vary across sources' per same source | reported |
Free tier: yes — homepage markets unlimited messaging, advanced roleplay, character creation, 'no ads' as free; App Store review mentions ad-watching mechanics, so free tier shape is unclear Platform variance: no official price list found on dippy.ai; all prices are third-party reported
