Flirtly vs Replika
Replika is the oldest companion product still running, and it has the best claim to the thing this whole category is about: people have kept the same Replika for years. It publishes a Memory tab you can read, add to and delete from — the one competitor here that clearly has that feature — and it sells ordinary subscriptions rather than metering by the message.
The reason people leave is not the product, it is the discontinuity. Replika has changed what its companions will say, mid-relationship, and the users who had built something around the old behaviour discovered it the way everyone else did. Flirtly writes that down as a commitment instead: her character sheet is written once and never rewritten, and if she ever does have to move, that will come with a preview you approve first — a commitment we have published rather than a screen already built.
The other difference is what she can do. Replika is a companion product with a conversation at the centre. Flirtly meters images, voice and video against a published rate, which is a different bargain — cheaper if you only want to talk, priced up front if you want more than that.
What Replika does better
Longer track record than anyone here, a real editable memory, and a subscription that does not meter your sentences.

Every cell here is a claim about a named product, so each one carries the page it came from and the day we opened it. Rows we have not checked for Replika are not on this table at all.
What we could not establish about Replika
These are the rows where the table says "Not established". Each one is something we looked for and could not settle from anything Replika publishes.
The price on the button, before you press it
Replika does not meter your sentences, so there is no per-message price to compare. It does run a store priced in coins and gems, and what those cost in money is not published anywhere we could check.
Is Flirtly a good Replika alternative?
If what you want is years of history with the same companion, Replika has the better claim and this page concedes it. Flirtly is the better answer if the thing you cannot risk is her changing underneath you, or if you want photos, voice and video priced up front rather than a chat-first product.
How much does Flirtly cost compared to Replika?
Replika sells a flat subscription and does not meter messages; Flirtly sells Sparks at 5 to the dollar and publishes what each thing spends. Cheaper if you mostly talk, priced before you press if you want more than talk.
One balance covers everything she does — messages, her voice, photos and clips. A new photo of her is 2 Sparks; a 5-second clip with sound, 40.
Is there a free version of Flirtly?
Yes — 200 messages, uncensored, no card. Nothing about the free wallet expires into a different price than the one published.
Questions people ask about Replika
- Does Replika remember you?
- Yes, and their help centre documents it: some memories are visible in a Memory tab you can add to, chat history reaches back four months, and what she has learned survives past it. We link that page from the table rather than paraphrase it.
- Can you get a refund from Replika?
- Their cancellation page says purchases are final at the point of sale and non-refundable, which we checked on 1 September 2026 and link from the table. When paid plans open, cancelling will be one click in account settings — no retention flow, no guilt — with a 7-day refund window on every charge and unused purchased Sparks refunded pro rata. It is written down here so you can hold us to it.
- Will my Flirtly companion change after an update?
- Her character sheet is written once and never rewritten, which is the whole reason this row is in the table. Replika publishes a help article for companions that stop feeling the same after an update; we would rather not need one.
Pick Replika for a companion with years behind it. Pick Flirtly if a silent personality change is the thing you cannot risk.
