How it works
The platform offers text chat, voice calls, and group chats with multiple characters, plus tools for character creation, memory, and image generation. The free tier includes the full character library, with ads and slower replies at busy times.
The paid c.ai+ plan costs $9.99 a month or $94.99 a year and removes ads and slow mode while unlocking premium chat styles and fuller memory. Note that in October 2026 the company entered a Chapter 11 sale process, so subscribers should pay monthly rather than yearly until the outcome is clear.
