Replika alternatives

Replika is the original companion app, and its recent history is why people search this query: the lifetime subscription tier was removed in July 2025, romance features sit behind the $19.99/mo Pro paywall, and its developer was fined €5M by Italy's data-protection authority in 2025. Every tracked alternative below, ordered by the data.

This list is generated from the tracker database and re-ranked whenever the data changes — see the Replika profile for its full change history. Some links pay us a commission (marked on each profile); ranking is computed from the data either way.
