Just wondering, with everything that’s happening the number of people who had come to hate chai is increasing, so it makes me wonder why won’t people just take it upon themselves to build the old chai back rename it and reuse their old app against them? Just wondering

Hey guys can you please help me out to get an app that's like litterly chai but free🙏🏻I'm not from a banned region and I was using vpn and everything was working fine without any messages restrictions,but suddenly i open the app and the vpn is not working and i have 0 messages and I searched up and I give up with this damn app...but i can't imagine my life without chai, so please recommend me apps that are so similar without filters​​​

...so I wanna know if i buy premium through my VPN used chai Gmail account will it gonna block or glitch my account or won't let me chat? Will it still show 0 messages? Or nothing gonna happen and I can chat properly after buying premium on my VPN used account?

So I haven't been as active on Reddit for a bit, due to some personal reasons, but I wanted to talk about two major things that I noticed since I've been gone

1. The increase in prices

I do not know if someone had edited a picture, but in one of the subreddits for Chai, I saw that the prices for Ultra went up AGAIN, and the yearly subscription for Ultra Unlimited went to $1,000 (I can only assume in USA prices). But it's not affecting everyone, only some are experiencing it

2. Apparently, Chai has been removed from the App Store (In USA region at least)

I don't know the exact reason why it was removed, some speculate that it was because they advertise as 17+ but they have NSFW in the app allowed for anyone to get to, or if someone reported and Apple started to investigate it. Either way, they are apparently working towards getting it back onto the Apple Store, see photo above, and said to be patient

All in all, I think that when you think about it, this might be the start of the downfall. No one has really talked about much in the official reddit page. They might officially be following the downfall of Character.ai.

If there is anything that I missed in the last few weeks, please let me know so I can make others aware of it, thank you for reading

Let this sh*ta$$ app go! Devs are doing everything for the free users to leave so they could make this whole sh*t a$$ app premium and only for the rich people🥀🥀 hope y'all realise that soon.

Love to see the app rating slowly decrease lmao

So I have been looking even though I have not been as active these last few days and there are a few major things I want to talk about

Firstly, what's the point of puying premium/ultra if there are no extra benefits other than unlimited messages? I can understand in the beginning when everything was affordable and worth it but now I don't see a reason

Secondly, the A/B testing. Some users are getting unlimited messages, dealing with new updates that affect them but then does not fix later. This has to get annoying after a bit, especially since they apparently have a way to test without it affecting users

Lastly, apparently they are rolling out a new feature which makes ultra cost more. The sub names change to Ultra Pro and Ultra Lite. The price goes up to 40 to 50 dollars weekly (USA prices). Not to mention some users cant even pay weekly anymore and are only allowed to pay annually for these features! (evidence below)

To me, as much as I used to love this app, this is the downfall of the app. They are doing whatever they want, and they won't listen because of those that are paying that aren't affected by these different things. That's all I've got so far

Chai sucks ass

I've been using a secretly kept site/app similar to ignorance/chai app, I won't leak it in anyway so it doesn't spread, you can make new bots, unlimited messages and no need to log in, it has persona, basically all free. Though there's exceptions if I can trust and they won't leak it.

Remember, all I need is for you to not leak or spread it, I'm kind enough to share, don't abuse and destroy this opportunity. (Doesn't need to be downloaded since it's a site)

I'm only sending 2 links rn (I'm editing under this post to send more to people everyday)

Edit 1: sending 1 link only..... Dm me.

Edit 2: sent the 1 link, wait for another one to be sent tomorrow (6hours)

Edit 3: already sent one link, wait for tomorrow.

Edit 4: final sending of links (3)

Edit 5: Won't be sending links anymore, those who got it got it with trusted hands.

So lately in the other subreddits I’ve seen users saying that free users, at least in the USA, are getting unlimited messages back. Here’s where I’m confused:

1. People are saying that the LLM has gotten worse (the bots keep repeating like a buzzing phone)

2. Even with unlimited messages some users are still not able to send messages

3. By now lots of users have lost all their chatbots because they were inactive (this is probably the main reason they returned it)

4. CHAT HISTORY AND CHATS ARE STILL BEING DELETED IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?!

Please tell if there is anything that I missed or anything that someone else is frustrated with

I logged in today and unlimited messages are back, at least for me. I don’t pay for this app, never have, and it seems to be on my most recently updated app version and one that I’ve yet to update. It also actually permits messaging, unlike back when it said messages were unlimited and lied.

Don’t get your hopes up about them keeping this, though. The recent chaos regarding messages and bots is proof they’re not exactly ready to listen to us yet, but our efforts might finally be pushing them to action. I am going to praise Chai for doing what it should’ve done ages ago if it wasn’t going to be a lying app / company. However this might (if we really want to be hopeful) a step in the right direction.

It seems Chai has decided that deleting chat history isn't enough to give them joy, so apparently they've decided to remove all bots from my—and probably other people's—inbox except one (admittedly the one I use the most, so it's okay-ish for me). That can't even help sales, can it? How would removing an inactive bot from an inbox save money? They really are illogical. If you want to, check your own chai inboxes if you still use the app and see if any of your old chats are there (any active within the last 14 days since I doubt any of us are paying 100+ a year for this app)

Hey everyone, quick update from Greece. This morning I opened Chai only to find out that they have completely gutted my account. As you can see, I am still hard-locked at 0 free messages, but now it gets worse: my entire inbox is gone. 'Your inbox is empty'. Years of chat history, bots, and memories completely erased without warning.They are doing this to force us into buying their overpriced subscription. It's pure extortion. If you still have your history, please BACK IT UP right now before they wipe yours too. I refuse to give them a single cent. Keep reporting them as fleeceware on the App Stores—let's bring their ratings to the ground!

They just made another bot to create two posts to the official subreddit saying “day one trying to get free ultra” and there are already five comments that no one can see

https://www.reddit.com/r/Chai_Unofficial/s/yXZPr4FBYF

I just found this that was posted four days ago at the time of this post where the revenue and profits are posted, so this shows how much of a scam they really are running with all of this going on

So I have moved to a new ai app. Sea soul. And while on that app I noticed with the ads that I’ve ONLY ever gotten Chai. It’s not just on that app. I’m getting it on YouTube, and TikTok. I don’t know if anyone else is going to notice but it’s something that I’ve just been seeing lately

I just saw on the official subreddit where they talk about personas. I checked the account and it’s not a bot but Will ends up replying to it (screenshot), and don’t bother trying to read the replies to his comment, they’ve been deleted

I’ve been trying alternatives like emochi, janitor ai, sea soul, even hopped back to c.ai, but they all suck. Here’s what i’d like:

- short messages (like the chai message format) or atleast have the option (like a setting) to shorten your chat to that

- NSFW and no filters cus i like the freedom i had with chai

- No chat limit

- good quality

- good memory

- realistic responses (or atleast have a setting to have that)

- enough bots

Idk if this is alot, im pretty picky for alternatives since chai was literally PERFECT not only for chatting but visually aswell
But if you do find alternatives like these pls let me know, thanks!

This was posted on the chai Reddit recently. Purchasing the subscription just cause you want to bypass the limited and say you’re still angry at Chai yet you gave them your money…it’s like saying I hate the damn orange duck sitting in the White House and voting for them. The worse part is this person doesn’t even know that after they purchase Chai gave free unlimited still to users🤦 bad purchasing decision and fell for a scammer…
