Our verdict

In its own words, Character Ai is free Character AI chat: sign in without a card in thirty seconds, install the official mobile app, understand pricing, and compare with alternatives. There is a free tier, and pricing is published, though we could not parse the individual plans. Developer documentation and a public changelog are both maintained, which is a good sign for anything you intend to build on. We have not verified the prices by hand, so we do not quote them here. Everything above was checked on 2026-08-26.

Pricing

  • Free tierYes
  • Public price listYes

We do not republish prices we have not checked by hand, because automated price extraction proved unreliable enough to mislead. The vendor’s own page has the current figures. Why we do this
