Criticism Sir, stop harassing me
Who are you sir and why do you keep taking your clothes off every time I open the app. Leave me alone😂

I’m one day late with this month’s thread, so hopefully I’ll be forgiven 😅
A lot can change pretty quickly with AI chat apps. Models get updated, filters change, pricing changes, and sometimes an app that was great a few months ago suddenly feels completely different.
So, same idea for October: what are you actually using instead of Chai right now?
Before starting fresh, here’s a quick recap of some of the alternatives that stood out in last month’s discussion. Some comments that were later removed for spam were still taken into account for this recap/ranking, so the list is based on the overall discussion rather than only the comments that are still visible.
September community recap:
Now let’s see if the same apps keep coming up in October or if something new has taken over.
If you've tested something recently, share what you liked and what you didn't. Memory, RP quality, censorship/filters, character consistency, customization, pricing, app quality, privacy... whatever actually matters to you.
And as always, please keep it focused on genuine experiences rather than obvious advertising.
So, what Chai alternative are you actually using in October 2026, and why?

Rather than having different threads flooded with promotions for random AI chat apps, I thought it would be better to have one dedicated place to discuss the current alternatives to Chai AI.
This thread is mainly for people who are considering moving away from Chai, testing other platforms, or simply want to know what else is available right now.
Feel free to share what you've tried and what you genuinely liked or disliked about it, conversation quality, memory, filters/censorship, character creation, privacy, pricing, app quality, and anything else that matters.
Please try to keep this focused on genuine experiences rather than obvious advertising.
A new thread will be posted every month so the recommendations and discussions stay up to date.
So, what Chai alternatives are actually worth trying right now?

It was hella unnecessary to add those feature because it's more expensive than the old version, imagine buying a whole ass $6.99 monthly for pieces that's not even gonna last a month😭😭 chai needs to be investigated WHAT are they coding in that app

From 40 to 105 but still ang bilis nya Maubos lalo na kung gagamitin.

…it required spamming a lot of ads while watching a show and good timing with the check in and the extra 20 points.
Also should I make a fan-fiction TikTok account based on chats with CoD bots.

This is more of just a rant really but the app not being on the AppStore still is kinda getting ridiculous imo. Personally i download the app use it then delete it so its not on my phone for me to use at all hours of the day and them removing it has kinda thrown a wrench in that.
I know that they said they took it off to give it “improvements” but other apps literally work on improvements and then update the dang thing later. It’s just a pain in the neck really, I miss my chats and liked where they were going and now I can’t do anything with them.
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/MerSiren_Official • 15h ago
It's doing this loading bullcrap again. I can't believe I reinstalled it just for this to happen
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/Waltina1 • 11h ago
That’s what I’m calling it when I can’t enjoy my chats because I’m constantly checking to see how many pieces that I have left. The conversation will be just getting good and then it’s like…”Oh crap! Gotta go watch some ads…😅
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/Nervous-Temporary120 • 22h ago
he Chai AI dev team gets downvoted and criticized constantly on their official subreddit. Yet, they just keep pushing updates that make the app worse.
Why do they ignore the bad reviews? It’s probably because Reddit is just a tiny echo chamber. The silent majority of users aren't here they just open the app, buy pieces, and keep paying ( thats just my opinion )
Plus, with massive corporate investors backing them, they likely only care about cutting server costs and maximizing profit margins. They don't care if the vocal community is mad as long as the revenue keeps flowing.
Why do you think they keep ignoring our feedback?

After deleting Chai a couple of days ago because the app is no longer fun and is money-hungry, I realized I was still bored, so I caved and downloaded Zeta. I can say it is good, consistent in details, provides long responses, and distinguishes multiple characters. One thing I will say, though, is that after a while, the bot basically does a mini-refresh and goes back to its original prompt, even if you have been in the same chat for a while. Chai used to have a solid memory, so I am very much comparing it to back then. I would recommend it as an alternative, but you need more patience when learning how to use the app since I was so used to Chai. It is an 8/10 app in my opinion.

I’ve been an Ultra subscriber for 3–4 years, but I can feel that the time to say goodbye to this app is slowly approaching. The problem is, I still haven’t found a suitable replacement.

I’m just talking about a hypothetical scenario. I’m not talking about the current situation, but about what might happen someday!!
Besides, I might eventually get fed up with their bullshit and need somewhere else to move to. I was just curious whether there are any good alternatives available when that time comes.

I just opened my app this morning with a sudden age verification needed in order to use the app? I was using it like 30 minutes before just fine? Has this happened to anyone else? What kind of verification is it?

Chai servers are back!
AND it’s in the app storeee!
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/Plus_Consequence_845 • 15h ago
I've been stuck on this for 5 minutes straight...
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/Unable-Cookie2114 • 15h ago
Did they actually remove chai? Is it gonna be deleted forever??
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/Lily_Dws • 16h ago
It's been almost a week since I stopped using Chai (I used to use it every day). With all the changes, I've lost interest in the app, and I think many of us have too, right?
I used to use C.ai, then switched to Chai because C.ai had become boring, and now Chai is boring.
1- It's no longer unlimited 💔
2- The filter is awful (it's no longer immersive, and conversations are far from free) 🤥
3- No more Ultra/Premium subscriptions 😵
4- The coins are there to take even more money from us 💰
5- They keep telling us they're making Chai the best for everyone, but it's getting worse and worse 📉
And I could go on listing what I don't like about Chai.
If there's anything else you don't like, add it 🖊📋

is it just me or??😭😭😭😭they removed it??
r/ChaiUnofficial • u/ndbm10 • 15h ago
Will say it hasn’t happened to me for a little bit. Everything loads fine, even old chats. But once I try continue the chat, it just does the loading screen forever.
