How AI companion apps make money
Most AI companion apps run on a freemium model: chatting is free up to a limit, and a monthly subscription unlocks longer memory, faster replies, voice and image features. Many layer credits or tokens on top for images, voice calls or premium characters, and adult-oriented platforms lean more heavily on those one-off purchases.
Subscription prices cluster between about $5 and $20 a month, with discounts for quarterly or annual plans. Inference costs and payment processing are the biggest lines on the cost side.
