Pricing
| Plan | Price / month | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Annual subscription (App Store; reported by secondary sources as Replika Pro annual) | $5.83 (annual, per month) | Official US App Store listing (seller Luka, Inc.) shows an 'Annual' in-app purchase at $69.99/year (~$5.83/mo). The App Store does not name the tier; secondary sources (aicompanionpick, July 2026) identify $69.99/yr as Pro annual. The listing also shows Annual $49.99, Monthly $7.99 and $14.99, and 'Replika Platinum' $89.99, without tier labels. |
| Replika Pro (monthly) | $19.99 (unconfirmed) | Secondary sources only (aicompanionpick July 2026, eesel). $19.99 does not appear among the top in-app purchases on the US App Store listing at 2026-10-08 (which shows monthly $7.99 and $14.99), so treat as unconfirmed; region/promo variance reported. |
| Replika Ultra | $29.99 (unconfirmed) | Secondary source only: $29.99/mo or $119.99/yr; adds a more capable model and manual memory saving over Pro. Not visible on official public pages. |
Free tier: Free tier with basic chat; paid tiers unlock voice calls, romantic relationship modes, selfies and upgraded models (secondary sources). The official site does not publish prices on the web; prices appear in-app and vary by region/promotion.

NSFW policy
Replika partially allows NSFW content. Replika removed erotic roleplay in February–March 2023, then restored it only for accounts created before Feb 1, 2023 via a 'legacy' version toggle; stricter filters remained for newer accounts. Not re-checked against an official source 2026-10-08: the current homepage says it 'rebuilt Replika from the ground up' and does not state the adult-content stance.
