Our verdict
PolyBuzz suits adults who want private chat, voice and free image generation without paying first, and who can live with a phone-only app. Monthly fees of €9.90 to €66.30 put it mid-range, so the step up is really a question of whether longer memory and extended voice are worth it.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited private chats and free image generation come with the free tier: Free unlimited private chats; free image generation.
- Voice and roleplay are both part of the setup listed under voice and roleplay, so neither is a separate product.
- Chats stay private and the account can be deleted from Settings, per Chats private; account deletion in Settings.
- The App Store listing shows App Store (US) 4.4/5 from 477,495 ratings, so the app has drawn a large volume of ratings.
- Sign-up is adults only, with a date of birth at signup and a UK identity check through Ondato or Yoti: 18+; DOB at signup; UK check via Ondato/Yoti.
Cons
- The top of €9.90 to €66.30 runs past the single monthly figure of $4.99 at yoummee.
- Memory is technically limited, and permanent or long memory sits with paid tiers only: Memory technically limited; permanent/long on paid tiers.
- The service runs on ios alone, so Android and desktop readers have no listed build.
- Commercial use is not permitted, so anything beyond personal chat is out of scope.
Who it suits
- Adults who want unlimited private chat and free image generation before spending: Free unlimited private chats; free image generation.
- Readers who want voice and roleplay in a single phone app, listed under voice and roleplay.
- People who care more about a private thread than a public persona, since NSFW barred from public display; AI + human moderation keeps mature material off public display.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a lower entry price than PolyBuzz should start with CrushOn.AI, at $3.90 to $14.90.
- Anyone who prefers a single monthly figure over a range of tiers will find that simpler at yoummee, $4.99.
- Android and desktop readers should look elsewhere, since PolyBuzz runs on ios only.
Memory, voice and media
Memory is technically limited, with permanent or long memory reserved for paid tiers: Memory technically limited; permanent/long on paid tiers. Voice is available, so a conversation does not have to stop at text. Image generation is available too, which gives readers pictures to sit alongside the chat. The trade-off sits in what lasts: the part of the experience most likely to be remembered across sessions is the part held back for paying readers.
Pricing and free tier
Monthly fees of €9.90 to €66.30 cover a wide spread of tiers, and the yearly rate is €8.25. The free side is generous: Free unlimited private chats; free image generation. Paid extras then run through coins, since Coins: extend voice chat, regenerate replies. That shape means a reader can start at no cost, stay private, and pay only when a voice session runs long or a reply needs regenerating. Yearly billing at €8.25 lowers the per month figure, and the coin system still applies on top of it.
How it works
PolyBuzz is a character chat app where the persona does the talking and the memory decides how much carries between sessions. Memory technically limited; permanent/long on paid tiers sets the position, with permanent or long memory on paid tiers. Voice is available, so replies can be heard as well as read, and image generation is available for pictures of the character. The service runs on ios, so the whole loop sits on a single device. Long running recall is where the free tier gives ground, and that is the part worth checking before a subscription.
Apps and devices
The service runs on ios, which keeps setup simple for anyone on a phone and rules out readers on other platforms. Its App Store listing shows App Store (US) 4.4/5 from 477,495 ratings, so the catalogue has drawn a heavy volume of ratings rather than a thin one. A single platform also means a single place to learn: chat, voice and image generation sit in the same app rather than in separate downloads.
Who runs it
The operator is Singularity Mutual Entertainment Culture Media Limited, headquartered in Hong Kong. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, which covers written help, a help centre, live chat and a community, with no phone line listed among the channels. Questions about coins or membership therefore go through those written routes rather than a call centre, so it suits readers who are comfortable settling billing questions in writing.

Frequently asked questions
What can I use without paying?+
Unlimited private chats and image generation are free, according to Free unlimited private chats; free image generation. Voice chat is where spending enters the picture: Coins: extend voice chat, regenerate replies explains that coins extend voice sessions and regenerate replies. A reader can keep a private conversation going at no cost, and pay later only when a voice session runs long or a reply needs a second attempt.
What do the paid plans cost?+
Monthly fees of €9.90 to €66.30 cover several tiers, and the yearly rate is €8.25. The entry point sits below the €13.15 median across the site, while the top tier is the largest monthly figure among the alternatives listed here. Anyone expecting a single flat number should read the tiers before subscribing.
Does it remember me between chats?+
Memory technically limited; permanent/long on paid tiers sets out the position: memory is technically limited, and permanent or long memory is kept for paid tiers. The free tier carries the basics, and readers who want a character to hold a long thread across sessions are looking at the paid side of the offer. The same position applies on every device, since the service runs on ios.
Is voice chat included?+
Voice is available, and voice and roleplay lists voice and roleplay as part of the standard setup. What is not free is the length of a session: Coins: extend voice chat, regenerate replies shows that coins extend voice chat and regenerate replies. Readers who expect long spoken conversations should plan for coin spending on top of €9.90 to €66.30 in membership fees.
How strict is it about adult content?+
NSFW barred from public display; AI + human moderation is the short answer: adult material is barred from public display, and moderation combines automated checks with human review. Private chats stay private under Chats private; account deletion in Settings. Readers who want mature material shown on a public character page will not find that here, while readers who keep it inside a private thread are in the intended setup.
Who can create an account?+
18+; DOB at signup; UK check via Ondato/Yoti covers the gate: adults only, a date of birth at signup, and an identity check for people in the UK through Ondato or Yoti. No lower age band appears in that setup, so the adult threshold applies throughout, and the same terms govern anyone who clears the check.
Which devices does it run on?+
PolyBuzz runs on ios, so it is a phone only service and readers on an Android handset or a desktop browser are looking elsewhere. A single platform also means a single place for chat, voice and image generation. The App Store listing shows App Store (US) 4.4/5 from 477,495 ratings, which is a heavy volume of ratings for that one build.
What happens to my data?+
Chats private; account deletion in Settings covers the basics: chats are private, and account deletion is handled in Settings. Export, retention periods and the fate of a conversation after a subscription ends are not addressed, so readers with data questions should ask on email, chat and help centre before paying. The account sits with Singularity Mutual Entertainment Culture Media Limited, based in Hong Kong.
