Free tier: exists but nominal — 5 trial messages total (not per day), 1 character creation, first roleplay free, NSFW locked Platform variance: reviewer notes prices are promotional, not permanent ($9.99 shown over crossed-out $14.99; $17.99 over $24.99) — treat current numbers as promo-period pricing
their Premium $9.99/mo matches our Spark $12.99 — but their free tier is 5 trial messages total vs our 30 msgs/day free
| Capability | Lovel.ai | FlirtAlly |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term memory | memory editing listed as a Premium feature; long-term memory quality could not be judged on the 5-message free tier (reviewer explicitly couldn't test it) 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 | none found — voice not mentioned in review tests; official page title mentions 'Chat, Photo, Video' but no voice low conf | Real-time voice calls in-app, plus companions with real PSTN phone lines you can actually dial. |
| Video messages | photo/video studio present but 'still labeled beta' at review time low conf | Lip-synced video messages in their own voice (10-second clips). |
| Group chat | none found low conf | Group threads with 2–5 of your companions — they read each other's replies and banter. |
| Selfies & photos | selfies in chat received but blurred without Premium; NSFW media paywalled medium 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 — 'roleplay' at Lovel means multi-chapter chat stories, not game engines low 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. |
