When Joi AI is the better fit
Joi fits people who want companion extras: talking by voice or, in some places, on a video call, group chats that include AI participants, and official AI twins of real performers. Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments work there too.
What Thirst.Chat does differently
- Prices you can see before signing up, on the pricing page
- No subscription to cancel. Token packs never renew, and purchased tokens never run out
- A free allowance of 100 tokens that comes back every day
- Six chat models to choose from, plus swipes, editable story memory and pinned facts
- Failed images and videos give their tokens back, and a failed reply costs nothing
