Looking for an AI companion app after my Replika experience

Hey everyone. I’ve been using Replika for a while now, and I’m looking to explore other similar AI companion apps. I really value the conversational aspect and the feeling of a personal connection, but I want to see what else is out there. I recently found a site that compared a few options (link below), which got me curious about what the community thinks.

What other apps have you tried that offer a good, engaging chat experience? I’m especially interested in ones that feel natural and supportive. Any recommendations or ones I should avoid?

Here’s the comparison I mentioned: https://www.aiangels.io/compare/candy-ai-alternative

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have looked into AI companions too while preparing for nursing school I enjoyed the chats, but my real goal was to focus on my art The big problem was the HESI entrance exam, which needed a lot of study time. To manage this, I found a reliable service where I could have an expert take my HESI for me This solution was a huge relief It finally freed up my evenings, letting me focus on painting and building my portfolio, which is my true passion
