Free tier
$0

Most reputable AI companions offer a free starting point. Quality varies — some free tiers are genuinely useful, others are limited enough that the product is not evaluable without paying.

Basic paid
$5 – $10/month

The most common paid tier. Usually includes unlimited conversation, some memory features, and removal of limits present in the free version. Grace sits in this range at $9.99/month.

Premium paid
$15 – $25/month

Higher tiers typically add voice conversation, advanced memory, priority response speed, and additional features. Grace Premium with voice is $19.99/month.

Annual plans
10 – 20% discount

Most AI companions offer an annual plan at a discount compared to monthly billing. Grace's annual plan at $99.99/year is the equivalent of two months free.

Is It Worth It

How to Think About the Value

An honest frame

For someone dealing with grief, loneliness, anxiety, betrayal, or a faith crisis — and who needs something available at 2am, without an appointment, without judgment — an AI companion at $9.99/month costs less than a single therapy session and is available every single day.

That is not a comparison to therapy. Therapy serves a different and important purpose. It is a comparison of what $9.99 buys — and for someone in a hard season who needs to be heard at 3am on a Tuesday, the math is not complicated.
