Pros and cons
Joi
Pros
- Roleplay and voice are both built in, as voice and roleplay lists them together.
- Image generation and video generation are both available, and a photo view costs Photo view costs up to 120 Neurons depending on the theme.
- A free Basic plan exists, though Free Basic plan; romantic messages cost 4 Neurons shows romantic messages still cost Neurons.
Cons
- Chats are used to train the AI, and data is kept for as long as the subscription runs, with profile deletion as the erasure step.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, with no phone line listed among the channels.
- Commercial use is no, so the service is for personal use only.
Kupid AI
Pros
- Chat is not metered on the free tier, and Unlimited chat free; free tier 15 messages also lists a free tier cap for anyone who wants a limit
- Image generation and video generation are both included, so the media many companion apps charge extra for sits in the same product
- Voice is available, and voice, telegram and roleplay also lists roleplay and Telegram, so text chat is only part of what the product covers
Cons
- Monthly fees of €24.99 sit well above the €13.15 for this category
- Coins pay for media rather than the plan itself, and Coins; plan-allocated, expire in 6 months means an unused balance simply lapses
- Memory is capped by plan at Last 30 messages (Pro), 100 (Ultra), a recent chat window rather than a long shared history
Who each suits
Joi

Kupid AI
Who it suits

Questions about each
Joi
How much does Joi cost?+
Joi runs on a free Basic plan, and Free Basic plan; romantic messages cost 4 Neurons is where the cost first appears, because romantic messages are charged in Neurons even on the free plan. Neurons; 4 per message, up to 120 per photo sets the unit and the per message rate, with a larger charge for photos. Start low, then check usage before committing to a paid tier.
What does it cost to see a photo?+
Photos are charged separately from messages. Photo view costs up to 120 Neurons depending on the theme gives the stated cost of a photo view, and the same Neuron unit appears in Neurons; 4 per message, up to 120 per photo for messages. For readers who ask for images often, media spending can outweigh chat spending, so the free plan is most useful for text first.
Kupid AI
How much is Kupid AI each month?+
A single month costs €24.99, and the annual figure is €24.92. The monthly number sits above the €13.15 across the 65 brands compared on this site, so the free tier does much of the work.
Is there a free tier, and what does it include?+
Yes. Unlimited chat free; free tier 15 messages shows that chat is unlimited, with a free tier cap also listed for anyone who wants a hard limit. Image and video generation are extras that draw on coins rather than on the chat allowance, so plain text conversation costs nothing.
