Talkie alternatives

Talkie has been repeatedly pulled from and relisted on US app stores between 2024 and 2026 — an unstable place to build a long-running companion relationship. If you want somewhere your characters and history survive, here's what the tracker data suggests, ordered by data.

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