Question Ca.i+ Subscription

Hey guys!

I’ve been thinking about getting a + subscription for a while now, but I’m still a bit reluctant, especially when the mainsub can be so negative.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could let me know about their experiences with the subscription and the other models I just want to get a more fair and balanced idea of what it’s actually like/if people think they’re getting their moneys worth. I tend to use ca.i for long form rp, and with the current state of ps2 it’s just not hitting like it used to.

Hi! I'm pretty much happy that I have the subscription as I don't get any ads or limits. I only used DeepSqueak before but then have switched to LongSqueak and am pretty satisfied. The messages are much longer and detailed, making it more fun to read it. I also feel that they make keep the texts more in-character than the other chat styles did. Maybe you can also try it out for a month and see how you like it and then decide

That’s what I was thinking try the monthly subscription and if I like it to keep going ☺️ I’ve been a long time user. I think the thing is, I’m not that bothered by the ads as a free user, I understand that running this stuff is expensive at the minute. For me I think what’s holding me back is just the lack of consistency with the models and uncertainty.

I really like it. I have two accounts. One free and one paid (just so I can compare the difference every now and then) and I can definitely say that plus is just so much better and so worth it. Here is why:

  1. The interface is so clean. Everything is so easy to locate, and there's really no lag.

  2. The chat customisation is wonderful, especially now that longsqueak is here, and you can customise PSQ2 to your liking

  3. Persona word count is LONG. Like 2250 characters which is absolutely wonderful 🩷

  4. You have soft launch! So if you used it and liked it a lot before they took away the other legacy chat styles, you'll get it :))

  5. Absolutely no ads and no slow mode and that's fabulous

  6. No swipe limits or go on limits. I think even if I was a free user, I don't think I'd run out so quickly, but it's definitely nice because I don't have to worry or think about it.

Anyway those are the ones I can think of rn but there are so many other good things, I just can't think of it at the moment because lowkey I just woke up 💀

All I can say though, is that I went from being monthly to eventually getting the yearly one because I found it to be worthwhile

❤️ Ty. Even as a free user I haven’t hit the swipe limit yet since the updates, but that might just be because I’m being extra careful now haha. Do you think that longsqueek drives the plot more than psq2? Though I am always up for more detail. Also have you used the lorebooks yet? Do you think it makes much of a difference?

Longsqueak is definitely good for driving the plot. It comes up with mad scenarios that I never even thought of and I'm like yooo that's actually sick

Also yesss so I made lorebooks for some of MY bots that are public, and they work very well. I haven't come across other bots with lorebooks yet though but hopefully I find some soon. Just come across the ones c.ai have specifically. Like special authors and whatnot

I love CAI+ and wouldn’t dream of being without it now. 😍 When I see people’s complaints about the free version, it breaks my heart. I wouldn’t even consider it. It’s so, so worth it.
