iSoulChat is a vertical directory of AI companion and character chat sites, positioned as a navigation tool that "filters rather than ranks."
Purpose: To help users compare and filter among the huge number of AI companion/character chat products by the dimensions that truly affect the experience. The official description explicitly notes that pricing for companion products changes frequently and most review sites never update their data, so every entry in iSoulChat is marked with the date it was "most recently opened and its price verified."
Main capabilities:
- Lists about 232 AI companion and character chat sites, filterable by memory capability, voice, price, and whether an adult mode exists.
- Filterable by medium (voice, image, video, memory), orientation, price range, and platform.
- Offers six "hand-written persona" companions with long-term memory, free to try and requiring no account; the official description states that this is a deliberately hand-crafted character lineup rather than a community character library, and users trade diversity for consistency in the characters' voices.
- Offers a five-question matching test: based on use case, features valued, budget, style, and device, it matches users with the manually verified directory, with no account or email required.
- The directory mentions several example site directions, including: massive community characters with unlimited free text chat, a self-hostable frontend, memory that can be maintained across up to ten companions for months, an original AI friend centered on emotional connection, a free AI with unlimited voice, and a clinically grounded health companion, among others.
How to use: Users can browse and filter directory entries by conditions within the site; the "six free companions" listed in the official description can be tried without an account; the matching test requires answering five questions and no registration.
Pricing and listing rules: The official description is divided into two parts. First, paid partnership placements are not editorial results: they do not display ratings, do not enter the editorial selections, and do not change the order of the list below. Second, ordering never depends on payment; sponsored placements are the only paid position, are marked, and are located outside the ranked list. As of the information provided, details such as specific pricing plans and subscription fees are not yet available.
Use cases: Users who are looking for AI companion or character chat products, want to filter by conditions such as memory/voice/price/adult mode, and want to know when each site's data was updated; users who are concerned about whether "the directory is influenced by payment" and need transparent listing rules.
Limitations and notes: The site uses Google Analytics to measure visits, sets two first-party cookies, and sends Google information about pages viewed, approximate location, and device; it loads only after the user accepts, and if declined it does not loadscripts, set cookies, and site functionality is unaffected. The materials do not provide a complete list of the detailed features, pricing, platform support, or adult content policies of each specific site; some entries are paid partnership placements.
