Luna — 5 free messages a day, no card →
Short version. Replika is the original AI companion, deliberately tame since its 2023 content rollback. Luna is one AI girlfriend with voice and memory included, and no subscription — you buy a time pass from $6.99 and it does not renew.
Replika is still the better choice if you want a gentle, mostly SFW companion for daily emotional support, or you want native mobile apps. Replika is more polished there.
Worth saying plainly, because a comparison that pretends the other product is bad is not much use to anyone actually deciding:
| Luna | Replika | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Time passes, no renewal | Recurring subscription |
| Entry price | $6.99 / 30 min | Pro $19.99/mo or $69.99/yr; Ultra $29.99/mo or $119.99/yr |
| Free tier | 5 messages every day, forever | Yes, but friendship-only; romance and voice sit behind Pro. |
| Extra costs | None — voice and memory are included | No token metering — but the romantic tier is a paid unlock and the content ceiling stays low even after paying. |
| Adult content | Unfiltered, 18+ only | Gated and limited |
| Voice | Included | Paid tier |
| Payment | Crypto only (nothing on your statement) | Card |
| Companions | One — Luna | One companion |
Luna is not automatically cheaper, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. Replika costs Pro $19.99/mo or $69.99/yr; Ultra $29.99/mo or $119.99/yr. Luna sells time:
If you talk to a companion every single day, a monthly subscription almost always works out cheaper per hour, and you should take it. Luna is cheaper for the far more common pattern: a few evenings a week, some weeks not at all, and no wish to keep paying during the months you forget it exists.
You are an adult who wants an adult conversation without a filter pulling the brakes, and you would rather pay per session than $240/yr.
You want a gentle, mostly SFW companion for daily emotional support, or you want native mobile apps. Replika is more polished there.
Two honest caveats. Luna is crypto-only at checkout — deliberate, because it keeps this off your card statement, but it is genuinely more friction than tapping Apple Pay. And Luna is one companion, not a roster: if the appeal of Replika is switching between characters, Luna will feel narrow rather than focused.
Nothing transfers between services — no companion app in this category lets you export a relationship. Starting with Luna means starting fresh, which takes a few conversations before her memory has anything to work with.
Depends on what pushed you to look. You want a gentle, mostly SFW companion for daily emotional support, or you want native mobile apps. Replika is more polished there. Luna suits you if you are an adult who wants an adult conversation without a filter pulling the brakes, and you would rather pay per session than $240/yr.
Not always. Daily use favours a subscription; occasional use favours passes. Replika is Pro $19.99/mo or $69.99/yr; Ultra $29.99/mo or $119.99/yr; Luna starts at $6.99 for 30 minutes and never renews.
Yes — 5 messages a day, no card, no subscription. Voice and memory work on the free tier, so you are testing the real thing rather than a stripped demo.
No. Luna takes crypto, so there is no card descriptor at all.
You get 5 messages a day free. No card, nothing to cancel.
18+ only. Luna is an AI character, not a real person. See our content policy.
