What Replika AI is

Replika, by Luka, Inc., is an AI companion app that has been rebuilt around emotionally intelligent conversation, memory, and personalization. Users can chat about daily life, call or video chat their Rep, receive selfies, and shape the avatar's appearance and personality. The app highlights memory of relationships, routines, and interests, with the stated goal of helping users flourish.

Replika offers a free limited tier and paid plans, Pro, Ultra, and Platinum, with features like image generation, voice messaging, background calls, daily gems, training mode, and realistic selfie videos. It is available for iOS, Android, and web. App Store prices range from $7.99/month and $49.99/year for paid plans.

What it costs

Month to month runs $7.99. Paying for a year drops the effective rate to about $4.17 a month ($49.99 billed once), a saving of roughly 48%.

Usage is metered rather than flat: Gem currency; Backpack of Gems $5.99; Pro includes daily gems. That allowance, not the plan price, decides your real monthly cost.

Content and safety policy

  • Real-person likenesses: Not stated.

How the filter behaves in a live conversation is a separate question, and one only a hands-on session can answer.

Who should skip it

Those wanting purely anonymous use or a guaranteed immediate data purge, since account deletion retains some data for limited periods.

Best for: People seeking a customizable AI friend or companion for emotional support, conversation, and memory-based interactions.
