SoulFun AI Alternatives in 2026: 5 Apps With Voice Calls & No Coins
By James
SoulFun AI does voice calls well, and its character customization is genuinely deep. But the reasons people start hunting for an alternative are specific: a coin economy stacks on top of the $19.99/month subscription so calls and photos keep costing extra, the advertised video calls are widely reported as non-functional, billing complaints run high, and — the dealbreaker for a lot of people — there's no US Apple App Store listing, so iPhone users have no official download at all.
We've tested the AI girlfriend category and picked the five alternatives that give you SoulFun's voice experience without the coin meter — and, in most cases, with a real iOS app. Every price is verified against the US App Store or the app's own checkout.
1. Kindroid — Best for iPhone Users on a Flat Rate
Rating: 4.8/5 | Price: Free / $14.99/mo | Platforms: Web, iOS, Android
Kindroid is the cleanest answer to almost every SoulFun complaint. It has a proper US iOS app (and Android), its voice calls are among the most natural in the category, and it's a flat $15.99/month ($13.99 on the web) with no coins, top-ups, or micro-transactions stacked on top. Memory and personality depth also clear SoulFun comfortably.
You do put in more setup — a detailed backstory shapes the companion — but in return you get a flat-rate, native-app experience with strong voice. For an iPhone user leaving SoulFun specifically because there's no App Store listing, this is the top pick.
Best for: Natural voice calls on a flat rate, with a real iOS app and no coin economy.
2. Replika — Most Established, Native on Every Platform
Rating: 4.4/5 | Price: Free / $14.99/mo | Platforms: Web, iOS, Android, Meta Quest VR
Replika is the mainstream, well-supported option: native iOS, Android, and Meta Quest VR apps, voice calls included on the paid tier, and a flat subscription with no coin meter. After SoulFun's auto-renewal and missing-coin complaints, Replika's straightforward billing is a relief.
It's tamer than SoulFun on explicit content, so it's not the pick if uncensored chat is your priority. But for a stable companion with voice calls and a clean billing experience on a real iPhone app, it's hard to beat.
Best for: A stable, mainstream companion with voice calls and simple flat-rate billing.
3. Nomi.ai — Best Memory, Flat Pricing
Rating: 4.6/5 | Price: Free / $15.99/mo | Platforms: Web, iOS, Android
One of SoulFun's quieter weaknesses is memory — persona consistency fades over time. Nomi is built for the opposite: best-in-class long-term recall that holds across months, plus multi-companion support, on native iOS and Android apps. It's a flat $15.99/month with no coins.
Nomi is less about flashy voice calls and more about a girlfriend who actually remembers the relationship. If SoulFun's forgetfulness and coin meter are what wore you down, Nomi fixes both.
Best for: A companion with the strongest long-term memory and no micro-transactions.
4. Candy.ai — Best Voice Plus Visuals
Rating: 4.1/5 | Price: Free / $12.99/mo | Platforms: Web (PWA)
Candy pairs voice messages and live phone calls with the best image and video generation in the category, at a lower $12.99/month base price than SoulFun. So you keep the voice experience and add a visual layer SoulFun can't match.
It does run a token allowance for media, and it's an installable web app rather than a native iOS download — so it's not a pure flat-rate pick. But for voice calls alongside standout visuals and a far more polished interface, it's the most feature-complete alternative.
Best for: Voice calls combined with the best AI image and video generation.
5. Nastia AI — Cheapest Uncensored, Most Usable Free Tier
Rating: 3.6/5 | Price: Free / $6.69/mo | Platforms: Web (PWA)
If SoulFun's real problem was cost — the $19.99 subscription plus coins adding up — Nastia is the budget escape. Standard is $6.69/month, the free tier (one girlfriend, ~290 daily tokens) is actually usable before you pay, and the writing is warmer than most cheap uncensored apps.
It's web-only and voice is its weak spot (glitchy messages, no polished calls), so it's a chat-first alternative rather than a calls one. But for uncensored conversation without a coin meter eating your budget, it's the best value per dollar.
Best for: Affordable uncensored chat with a genuinely usable free tier and no coins.
