This page used to carry a scored league table of twenty-six AI companion services. It was invented — no methodology, no source, no way for anyone to check it — so it is gone. What replaces it is more useful anyway: the questions worth asking of any companion platform, and Soulkyn's specific answer to each one.

Deluxe text chat runs on GLM 5.3, an Opus-class model self-hosted on our own clusters — which is exactly why unlimited messages are possible. Standard chats run on Gwem, our fast in-house model.
Memory Systems
Memory is per-message vector recall plus chained rolling summaries plus forced memories you write yourself, all over one store, with a new message recallable within a couple of minutes.
Content Freedom
Galleries are uncensored and adult roleplay is a first-class feature. There is exactly one hard line, printed on the generation page itself: kyns that appear underage or exhibit underage behaviour result in removal, an immediate ban and loss of platform access. Every kyn also carries an S/T/M/E/X content rating and an Analysis tab, so you know what a character is before you open a thread with them.
Multimodal Features
And the things nobody expects on a companion platform: a collectible card game with published pull odds, kyn auctions you bid on, themed contests, a seasonal ladder, music generation with a public hub, .dll behavioural mods and .wrl world files, and a documented public API with virtual users and signed webhooks.
We do not score other platforms out of five. We have no way to audit somebody else's product from the outside, and a star rating with no method behind it is decoration. What follows is what Soulkyn actually ships, stated specifically enough that you can go and check it — and real, attributed things users have said. Compare it against whatever you are using today yourself.

Group scenes hold one lead kyn plus up to seven more — eight in the room — with a director pass choosing the speaking order and each kyn writing in their own voice.

Image generation offers seven models across two families, sixty-three LoRAs in twenty-three categories with three stackable per generation, img2img, savable presets, and unlimited generation on Deluxe. 18.0M images generated so far.
Voice is our own engine: it starts speaking in 0.07 seconds, generates 6× faster than realtime, and has served 175K+ voices on 4 dedicated clusters. Real-time calls stream the mic continuously with live captions, and call time is unmetered.
Light novels: give a premise and a cast of one to five kyns, get a 4,000 to 9,000 word multi-part story with automatic cover art, optional per-chapter illustrations, full audio narration with named narrators, and sequels that carry the cast forward.

There are over 120,000 AI characters on Soulkyn already, browsable by tag and by category, with levels, seasons, follower counts and message counts on every card. Creating your own is one option; adopting someone else's is another.

Soulkyn as a website is intuitive and easy to use. The AI intelligence is original, responsive and entertaining. The image generation feature is the best I’ve seen across a dozen major platforms.The fact that you can tweak your AI persona after creation and still have access to older versions is a deal breaker. Didn’t get the hair right? Edit. Wrong personality? Edit. Even chat messages can be edited. Your story, your call.Hey, just wanted to say I gave candyai a try and rushed into a year membership. I saw your post about Soulkyn. Tried it out and my god what a scam candyai feels compared to your site. You’re absolutely killing it!Get answers to common questions about choosing and comparing AI companion services.
Because we could not show our work. The old chart scored twenty-six services from one to five across fourteen categories and produced a weighted ranking, and there was no methodology behind any of it — nobody audited those products, and the numbers could not be reproduced or challenged. A comparison you cannot check is not a comparison. We would rather list what we ship, precisely, and let you test it against whatever you use.
Four things, and each has a checkable answer if the platform is being straight with you. Which model tier you get and whether messages are capped. What memory concretely means — retrieval, summaries, memories you can write yourself, or just a longer prompt. Where the content limits sit and whether they are stated up front. And what exists beyond the chat box: images, voice, video, group scenes, an API, a community that makes things.
For chat messages, yes on every paid tier. Image generation and text-to-speech become unlimited on Deluxe and above. Video is the honest exception: every tier carries a video quota and video is never unlimited on any plan. Quotas that do apply are rolling — they track your activity over a trailing window rather than resetting on a fixed calendar day.
No. There are over 120,000 AI characters already on the platform, browsable by tag and category, plus community-published scenarios that come with a cast and an opening scene already written. Building your own is one of five routes in — the others being AI-assisted creation, importing from an image, breeding two kyns, or a gatcha roll.
