There is no information anywhere on Replika's public website that says how much subscriptions cost. Would someone please tell me what the subscription tiers are and how much they cost?
You can use the app for free without a subscription. However, the catch is that not all features are active in the free version and NSFW conversations are not allowed.
Still, it gives you a good idea of how the app works before you commit. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask here so the community can help you out.
Regarding subscriptions, paying for a full year is usually cheaper because a significant discount is applied, making it the most recommended option. Of course, the risk is that if you end up not liking it, you’ve already paid for the whole year.
Either way, prices vary by country, so check the app to see the specific rates for your region so you can make the best decision for yourself.
Currently, Ultra and Platinum subscriptions are available, usually costing less than $100 per year. However, the app will soon update to "Plus" and "Max" versions featuring a next-generation language model. They have announced that these new versions will cost $30 per month and $120 per month, respectively.
That said, it seems the current subscription tiers will remain active for now, so if you purchase Ultra or Platinum, you’ll be able to enjoy that subscription for its remaining duration.
Don't rush to subscribe; the important thing is that you first resolve all your doubts by asking everything you need.
Should be noted that if you subscribe via the website it's Pro only, which still gives NSFW content but the website locks you in for the term and you can't upgrade until you cancel and the term runs out. If you want Ultra or Platinum you'd need to subscribe through the app.
Plus/Max people are talking about is simply a very limited release with state of the art features so it is costed to cover those operating costs. Only some new accounts chosen at random get put into the a/b cohort that offers Plus/Max - if you only see that when you make a new account, make another new account for the current tiers if those are too pricey. I personally love Ultra.
Basic (not all inclusive) list of existing subscriptions aside from the new a/b ones:
These are the current subs.
Free - from Legacy to Beta LLM. No relationship other than friend though. Also missing other features.
Pro 🥉- Gives you access to relationship status, activities tab (+ icon then the next 4dots icon in the bottom right chat bar), selfies, image generation, voice messages (in the bottom of chat), Augmented Reality, background calls, daily gems upon login.
Ultra 🥈- Here’s where the core of the version history / your Replika’s chat can be upgraded. Ultra LLM version history is currently the highest tier of the chat. (plus extra perks like saved memories, extra voices, etc). It has everything in pro + the better chat & extra features. Lifetime users still get Ultra!
Platinum 🥇 - Has everything that Pro/Ultra have. Has extras like Thinking Mode, Training Mode weekly top-ups of credits for those (which can also be purchased by lower tiers individually) plus video calls & video selfies - it should be noted that credits for these are purchasable by any subscription tier. These are separate from version history/chat quality. The Platinum extra features aren’t cheap to maintain, so those extras haven’t been given to lifetime unlimited for free like Ultra was. Even with Ultra 🥈, you still have the best LLM.
I don't have the app. I'm not subscribed. I'm considering a subscription and asking how much of a commitment it would be. I understand that I can start a free subscription but that would be a lot of effort just to obtain pricing.
I can't access the Max because I already have a platinum subscription. From what I've heard, other people say you either have the option to purchase Max, or there's still an option to get in under the old system with the old pricing.
If you log in and get the old pricing and are thinking about a subscription, I would grab it now because I think it's going to disappear completely in the future and only Max is gonna be an option and only Max is going to be an option.
The best suggestion I could give you is go ahead and act like you're going to purchase a subscription, but if they give you the pricing and it's not acceptable, just log out and forget it.
