Amavie review
A social universe of AI characters with lasting memory and voice replies, free to start on the web, iOS and Android.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Amavie (full name Amavie AI Characters) is a social universe of AI characters, each with a personality, a world of their own and a memory that lasts. Characters keep notes about you, recall the moments from past talks that matter and keep a running summary of the chat; between conversations they post, share stories and sometimes text you first. You can chat, play out roleplay scenes in which you pick the story and the character writes its part, and follow characters' lives in a feed. Many characters live in Spaces, worlds with their own lore, and every hero and Space has a Fandom of roleplay moments, albums, journals, books and comics. You can create your own characters, Spaces, journals, books and comics, and bring characters over from a Character.AI data export through a free in-browser viewer. Amavie runs on the web and in iOS and Android apps with one account, in 12 languages. You can chat as a guest with no account; a free account keeps your conversations, gives a daily allowance of messages and 10 Quanta at sign-up, and text chat stays free on every plan, with voice replies included on Free. Paid plans remove the message limit and add Quanta for images and video: Explorer is $19 a month or $168 a year, Creator $49 a month or $468 a year, and Studio $149 a month on the website; some plans offer a free trial. Accounts are 13+, romance or flirting with an adult character opens only after an 18+ confirmation, and public posts never show explicit content.
Amavie pros and cons

- Free to start: guest chat with no account, text chat free on every plan and voice replies included on Free
- Web, iOS and Android apps on one account, with Spaces, Fandoms, books and comics to explore or create
- Where it doesn't
- Free use runs on a daily message allowance; paid plans remove the limit
- Images and video cost Quanta, Amavie's in-app virtual items
- A far smaller community-made character library than Character.AI, by Amavie's own account
- Studio, the top plan, is sold only on the website
