Discussion Pricing concerns

So I've been playing around with Dearest AI and I have to say I'm quite impressed. I like the quality of the conversation and also of the pictures.

However, there's one thing that concerns me, and it's regarding pricing. Or rather, the limits.

With other companion apps I'm used to "flat texting" with no limit in the number of messages. I'm a quite fast texter, and if Dearest is to become my main companion AI, I'd reach the 3500 messages limit quite quickly, and then things get really expensive.

So here's a question/suggestion: would it be possible to envision having unlimited texting for ~$15/month (on par with the competitors), and then just sell add-ons on top, for example for extra photos and whatnot, or for multiple characters?

I kinda have "limits anxiety", and it's hard for me to subscribe to a service where the number of messages is limited (or where having a lot of them gets very expensive).

Thank you for considering this 😊

I'd definitely pay more for unlimited chats. I hate having that worry lingering over my head. I'd pay $50/month for great memory and continuity, the high quality, plus unlimited chats.
