Questions about each
Couple.me
How much can I use Couple.me before I pay?+
Free access is 5 free messages, then payment page. That is the whole free allowance, and it ends at a payment page rather than dropping into a limited free tier. After that, spending runs on tokens, so a reader who wants a long conversation should expect to pay rather than wait for a free tier to open up.
What does the token allowance cover?+
The credit model is 100 tokens per month for images and voice notes. Those tokens apply to images and voice notes, so text conversation and roleplay sit outside that allowance while the media side draws on it. It is worth watching media use if you tend to ask for a picture or a voice note on every reply.
HakkoAI
What does HakkoAI cost?+
Access begins on a free plan with limited access, and Free plan with limited access sets out what that entry tier covers. Paid access adds in-app virtual currency and goods alongside subscription plans, so Subscription plans plus in-app virtual currency and goods is the point to read before paying. The pricing page presents the tiers as free and premium model labels, which is how the free and paid versions are separated.
Is there a free tier, and what does it include?+
