What Frendi AI and HoneyChat offer
Memory
This is the main divide between plans. The character remembers the last 30 messages on the free plan (the dialog is kept for 30 days), 100 messages on Plus+ (kept six months) and 300 on Pro with no expiry. On top of that works summarisation: a short gist of older dialogs survives beyond the limit, without details. With Frendi Coins the context can be extended to 500 messages.
There is also a “chat memory” field of up to 1,000 characters per dialog: how to address you, the character's habits, key plot details.
Voice, photos and video
Voice replies were announced on the home page as a new feature: “Now the characters talk to you in their own voice.” Next to it — a banner “Generate photos and video in chat” with FC packs from 100 to 2,500 coins. So media in Frendi is first of all a currency expense, not an unlimited part of the subscription. According to the archived price list Plus+ includes 30 image generations a month, Pro — 50. How many FC one voice note costs is not stated on public pages — not verified.
AI models
| Model | How Frendi describes it | Plan (archived price list) |
|---|---|---|
| Frendi Basic | Universal base model: fast, light, friendly. For everyday chat. | All plans, including free |
| Romantic / “18+” | Specialised for romantic conversation: better at emotion, flirting and a soft tone. | Plus+ and Pro (called “18+” in the price list) |
| GPT-4.1 | Advanced model for deep conversation: long, logical answers, holds context better. | Pro (called “ChatGPT” in the price list) |
| Frendi Insight | Flagship with a focus on analysis; “radically ahead of the other models in depth of thinking”. | Pro |
Descriptions — frendi.ai/faq; plan distribution — archived price list of 18 January 2026. The help center calls the model Romantic, the price list “18+”; we assume it is the same item, but the service does not confirm it explicitly.
Catalog, builder, plots
On 13 September 2026 the counters on the home page showed 14,704 characters, 527 group chats and 656 plots. Characters are created by users through the “Create Frendi” builder; the author has a profile. Plots are ready-made openings for a role-play. A separate showcase is the assistants: an English tutor, a psychologist, a coach, a financial adviser, an HR mentor, a tarot reader.
What is missing
- Access without an account — every conversation starts with a login.
- A Telegram bot as a full entry point — the Telegram and VK communities are news channels, not chats with a character.
- A native app in the stores — the site installs as a PWA.
- An English interface.
Against HoneyChat
The case for Frendi AI
Assistants and educational characters — something purely “companion” services usually lack: a tutor, a psychologist and a financial adviser live in the same catalog. Plus hundreds of group chats and plots.
The case for HoneyChat
Voice, photos and short videos are not a separate coin purchase but part of the plan with daily limits: already on Basic at $4.99 — 10 images a day, 10 voice notes and 2 videos a month. Memory with a story journal and cards for secondary characters. All of it without sign-up, in Telegram.
