Our verdict
Dippy AI suits adults who want unlimited free chat and a companion that remembers them, with voice and image generation included and monthly fees of $4.99 to $12.99. The trade-off is billing depth: support runs on email, the app covers ios only, and chats are used to train models.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited free messages; ad-supported free tier is the part that sets Dippy AI apart for readers who only want to talk.
- AI friends learn about you, long-term memory gives characters continuity, so conversations can build instead of resetting.
- Voice and image generation are both in, and voice and roleplay lists voice and roleplay.
- Store feedback of App Store (US) 4.3/5 from 2,384 ratings is easy to weigh before installing.
- Monthly fees of $4.99 to $12.99 sit under CrushOn.AI's $3.90 to $14.90.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, with no live chat or phone line in the listing.
- Availability covers ios only, so desktop and browser readers are left out.
- Chats are de-identified and used to train models, and kept while the service is in use, so privacy readers should read the terms first.
- Coins sold in packs (100 coins $3.49) means extras cost on top of the subscription for heavy users.
Who it suits
- Adults who want unlimited text chat at no cost and can accept advertising (Unlimited free messages; ad-supported free tier).
- Readers who value continuity between sessions, since AI friends learn about you, long-term memory.
- iPhone users who want voice and image generation in the same app, as both are available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Price-first shoppers: CrushOn.AI lists $3.90 to $14.90, which starts under Dippy AI's $4.99 to $12.99.
- Readers who would rather budget in euro: Insieme.AI lists €4.99 in euro, while Dippy AI's $4.99 to $12.99 is in US dollars.
- Readers who want a single monthly figure to plan around: yoummee lists $4.99.
Where you can use it
Dippy AI is listed for ios only, so the app is distributed through the Apple App Store rather than a browser or desktop build. Store feedback stands at App Store (US) 4.3/5 from 2,384 ratings, which is the figure worth reading before installing. A single platform keeps releases simple and keeps ratings and updates in the same place. Readers who mainly chat on a laptop will not find a matching build, since the listing covers ios only.
What is free and what costs
The free tier is the clearest part of the offer: Unlimited free messages; ad-supported free tier. Paid subscriptions run $4.99 to $12.99 a month, and the yearly option runs $2.50 to $10, so a full year commitment lowers the figure on every tier. Extras are metered separately, since Coins sold in packs (100 coins $3.49), which means a heavy user can pay both a subscription and a top-up. For readers who only want to talk, the ad-supported tier removes the cost question entirely.
Memory, voice and media
Memory is the feature that separates Dippy AI from a plain chat toy: AI friends learn about you, long-term memory. Characters are built to learn about you, so a conversation can pick up where the last one stopped instead of starting from nothing. Voice is available, which suits readers who would rather talk than type, and image generation is included, so a character can be pictured as well as heard. Together these cover the media companion readers ask for most often.
Using the service
Everything happens inside the mobile app, since Dippy AI runs on ios. You pick a character, and that character keeps a running sense of you: AI friends learn about you, long-term memory. Replies can be read or heard, because voice is part of the app, and image generation covers the visual side. There is no other platform in the listing, so there is nothing extra to install or configure before starting.
The company behind it
The service is run by Impel Intelligence, Inc., headquartered in the United States. Support runs on email, so questions are answered in writing rather than by live chat or a phone line. For readers who weigh the operator behind a companion app, the entity name and country give a clear starting point, and a written channel keeps a record of any answer. Account and billing questions go to the same address.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Dippy AI cost?+
Paid plans run $4.99 to $12.99 monthly, and the yearly option runs $2.50 to $10 on the same tiers. That puts Dippy AI under the site median €13.15 for companion apps. Each figure is a range, so budget for the upper end of $4.99 to $12.99 if you want the top plan rather than the entry one.
What is free on Dippy AI?+
The free tier covers unlimited messages: Unlimited free messages; ad-supported free tier. Coins are the separate meter for extras, since Coins sold in packs (100 coins $3.49). So the real cost question is about advertising rather than message limits, which suits readers who want open-ended text chat at no charge.
What are the coin packs for?+
Coins are the in-app top-up: Coins sold in packs (100 coins $3.49). They sit outside the monthly subscription, so heavier users pay for extras on top of $4.99 to $12.99 or $2.50 to $10. Readers who prefer a single flat monthly figure may find yoummee, listed at $4.99, easier to budget around.
Is Dippy AI for adults only?+
Yes. The listing carries App Store 18+ rating with Age Assurance controls, and the content policy is 18+; mature themes limited by in-app controls, so mature themes are allowed but bounded by in-app controls. The company sits in US and the app is distributed through the App Store under that rating. Readers who want unfiltered material should know the boundary is set by in-app settings.
Which devices can I use it on?+
The app is listed for ios only, which keeps the service inside the Apple ecosystem. That matters for anyone who splits time between a phone and a laptop, since there is no other platform in the listing. The store rating of App Store (US) 4.3/5 from 2,384 ratings is the check worth doing before installing.
Does the character remember me?+
Yes, memory is a listed feature: AI friends learn about you, long-term memory. Characters are described as learning about you over time, which suits readers who want continuity between sessions rather than a reset at every conversation. It is the main reason to pick this app over a plain chatbot, and it is also what makes the free tier worth returning to.
What kinds of characters are there?+
Characters come in female, male and anime forms: female, male and anime. The feature list pairs voice with roleplay, voice and roleplay, so scenes go past plain messaging. Image generation is available as well, so a character can be pictured as well as described, which matters for readers who care more about the look of a companion than about voice.
What happens to my chats?+
Under the terms of Impel Intelligence, Inc., chats are de-identified, used to train models, and kept while the service is in use. That training use covers the messages you type, so readers who would rather their conversations stayed out of model training should weigh this before settling on the free tier. Support on email is the route for data questions.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on email, so questions go by written reply to Impel Intelligence, Inc.. There is no live chat or phone line in the listing, which suits readers who prefer a written record of what was said. Anyone who wants same-day help in a chat window should check a brand that lists that channel.
