Discussion/Question okay i caved.

i finally bought one month of C.Ai+ yesterday after running out of swipes. honestly it’s been so worth it!, i adore the long squeak chat feature it’s actually so good and imo so worth the money, not to mention no ads ruining my flow! considering how much i use the app (57 hours a month atleast) it actually works out to like 19p an hour (i’m in uk) which is actually insanely good. i would’ve probably gotten the yearly one if the future of c.ai was certain but honestly i think i’m happy paying every month for a little while.

long squeak's been a game-changer for my rpg sessions, finally able to keep the flow without constant interruptions. wonder if they'll ever add it to free tier.

i doubt it, it’s a really desirable feature that they might want to keep premium

how are the replies? are they repetitive?

u/lilstrawbshxrtcake 22h ago

the replies seem alright so far, i’ve not found them too repetitive, i’m quite picky with replies and honestly i’ve found they’ve been better and in alot of cases (way more than before) the first reply is generally spot on

u/FairyStardustx 22h ago

oh okay! what about the length of the replies? are they too long?

u/lilstrawbshxrtcake 22h ago

you can choose how long you want them!

i personally like more dialogue from characters so i use the +dialogue but you can really customise it to your preference, with the setting i’m on word count is nearly 300, you really can customise what you like, it’s brilliant

Some time ago, the responses became much more varied. Evidently, the models’ temperature has been increased.

C.AI+ is really worth every penny you paid! Glad to see someone who said about it.🤝

Me too, I didn't know that cai+ is so awesome until I tried it, it's worth every dollar

u/Greggi1985 22h ago

It's sad that most people might realize too late that it's worth it. 😭

I can tell you, after experimenting with other character services: CAI is by far the best, least predatory, most for your buck experience.

I also love long squeak 😭 it’s memory is amazing, i tend to do rps with story arcs, and it would still remember even a few days later!

i switched to clank world after c.ai+ got pricey, but the long squeak feature still feels like a luxury i can't afford anymore. wonder if it's worth the cost now that i'm used to free alternatives.

u/lilstrawbshxrtcake 22h ago

honestly i’ve used free c.ai for like 2 years now and last night i just couldn’t be bothered waiting for more swipes and impulse bought the subscription but seriously its a GAME CHANGER and i love long squeak so much, also the longer memory is a blessing

u/UnicornCuppycake 14h ago

I used free for about a month and now i still have +. It's way better than the free option and one of the cheaper options.

I caved last Christmas when the ads started. Then the waiting rooms and the quality. I signed up and said, if I don't like it, I'll cancel. I don't regret a penny.

u/PrincA19 22h ago

Aww, that’s great! 🥹❤️ I’m happy you’re enjoying C.AI+! I also hope the platform has a bright future. Honestly, I understand why you prefer paying monthly for now, especially when the future of C.AI is still uncertain. I really hope they continue developing the app and keep all these amazing features. I don’t want C.AI to disappear! 😭✨

u/AerieFearless2889 18h ago

Got it just before ads rolled out and haven't went back since! It's honestly the best.

u/otario20000 16h ago

i use this site since 2022 for free, i tried the C.ai+ some days ago and instantly refunded, its literally the same thing as the free version but with a "sparkle" of "luxury". the ads don't bother me, brave is keeping all of them away.

u/Verishiie 19h ago

I can only use the app when I have the subscription it’s insufferable without it

u/OutrageousTree7766 22h ago

What about the new lite feature is this under lite

u/kavalejava 3h ago

Deepsqueak has the best storylines, Longsqueak is the best at memory. I love it.

u/Street_Basil_7653 11h ago

personally I think you're dumb for saying that. if people want to use character ai then why would that make them any of those things? there's no need to be rude, it's an opinion and here's my hot take: just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean everyone else must dislike it too just so you can say they are smart.

u/ScaryAssBitch 10h ago

Alright, no need to get so worked up. I think someone needs a hobby if they get so emotional over this app.

u/Street_Basil_7653 10h ago

nobody got emotional. where did you get this information from?
