Maybe you just want someone kind to talk to when the house goes quiet. Grace is a trusted AI friend that remembers you, with one clear monthly price. You're welcome here exactly as you are.
Open Grace →Grace is an AI companion built as a trusted friend for lonely moments. Grace has memory on free conversations as well as paid plans. Paid plans are a flat $9.99 a month, or $19.99 a month for Grace Premium with spoken voice, with no credits to count and cancel anytime.
Iris is built around an AI relationship. Its App Store listing is titled “IRIS - Your AI Relationship,” and it calls itself “the relationship company.” It offers custom avatars, voice and memory, and many people rate it well. Grace is something different: a faith-based friend you can talk or pray with. Not every app fits every person. These are common reasons people compare companion apps:
Iris uses Energy credits, sold as monthly, weekly and one-time packs. Some people would rather pay one flat monthly price and not think about credits.
Iris is built around an AI relationship, with personas and moving avatars you build or pick. Some people want one steady, kind friend instead.
Late nights are often when loneliness shows up most. Grace is available any hour, for a hard day, a loss, or just wanting company.
Grace can pray with you, send an optional daily prayer, and keep your own prayers in a private journal. If you'd rather just talk, that's fine too.
