| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Notes | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium (reported) | $15 | — | reported ~$15/mo monthly entry (aiangels snippet via s4); a comparison site lists $9.08/mo and a 6-month plan at ~$3.99/mo billed $23.94 - figures conflict and no official price page is reachable (linky.ai 403) | reported |
Free tier: free to install and use with ads and daily message/energy limits; no card required Platform variance: prices vary by region and are not displayed upfront - pricing opacity is itself a named third-party complaint; IAP price range not exposed on the Play listing
Linky premium reported $9-15/mo (conflicting) vs FlirtAlly Spark $12.99 flat with 200 credits and published daily limits - same money, fewer surprises
| Capability | Linky AI | FlirtAlly |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term memory | 'AI Deep Learning, the More You Chat, the Smarter It Gets' - adaptive learning claim; no memory architecture detail found medium conf | Four-layer memory with semantic recall — tell them your dog's name today, they ask about it next week. Unlimited on every plan, free included. |
| Voice | 'advanced AI voice and text features' - call or message AI characters; each character has a distinct voice medium conf | Real-time voice calls in-app, plus companions with real PSTN phone lines you can actually dial. |
| Video messages | none found low conf | Lip-synced video messages in their own voice (10-second clips). |
| Group chat | none found; 'Buzz' AI-social personas (AI personas interacting in social feed) are adjacent but not group chat with your companion low conf | Group threads with 2–5 of your companions — they read each other's replies and banter. |
| Selfies & photos | image sharing claimed in a third-party comparison (s4); not claimed in the official Play description low conf | Selfies on demand (3cr), identity-locked to their canonical face — always recognizably them. |
| Texts first | none found low conf | They text first — opt-in, quiet-hours aware, always stoppable. |
| Real games | none found; three types of collectible 'magic cards' with stories are collectibles, not playable games ('Play' in the title means roleplay) medium conf | 17 real server-authoritative games with credit wagers — they play for keeps and remember losses. |
| Real phone lines | none found low conf | Buy a matched companion their own dedicated real phone number (200cr/mo); only your calls ring through. |
| Physical mail | none found low conf | Real printed letters and gift cards in your physical mailbox, written from relationship memory. |

Not verified — noted honestly rather than guessed: official pricing page unreachable (403) - all prices third-party reported · iOS App Store presence not confirmed (iTunes search results truncated before any Linky entry) · selfies/image feature rests on one comparison snippet · whether 'smarter as you chat' is real long-term memory or short context - untested
