About Yodayo
What is Yodayo (2026 update)
Yodayo is an AI-powered platform built for anime fans to generate and share AI-generated anime art, chat with AI characters, and create original characters with their own appearance, personality, and backstory. It combines prompt-to-image generation focused on anime substyles with a community layer where members can browse public outputs, shared models, and prompts from other creators.
What is new in 2026
Yodayo has added AI-powered video generation, so members can animate a character or scene and turn a still image into a short, expressive clip instead of only producing static pictures. The platform’s signature Tavern feature, which lets people build or pick up community-made characters and chat with them across a persistent session, continues to be a major draw alongside image generation, and the company runs a Tavern chatbot revenue-share program so popular character creators can earn credits from their characters’ usage. Yodayo also rebranded its virtual currency during its 2025 to 2026 transition, renaming YoBeans to Mochi, with a 1-to-1 conversion between the two.

Pricing in 2026
Yodayo runs on a Mochi credit system, on top of both subscriptions and one-time credit packs. Exact Mochi allowances per plan vary slightly by source and promotion, so confirm the current numbers on the official pricing page.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 150 Mochi per day (expires after 30 days unused), access to community models and basic generation |
| Plus | $9.99/month | Monthly Mochi allotment, no ads, improved Tavern memory, standard model access |
| Pro | $14.99/month | Unrestricted basic model generations, priority generation queue |
| Premium | $29.99/month | Higher-tier models including extended context chat, larger Mochi allotment |
| Credit packs | From $5 for roughly 550 Mochi up to $100 for roughly 17,000 Mochi | One-time top-ups, with a better Mochi-per-dollar rate on larger packs |
Who should use it
Yodayo fits anime fans who want to generate character art in specific anime substyles and also enjoy ongoing chat or roleplay with a persistent AI character, rather than just a one-off image generator. It also suits hobbyist character creators who want to publish their own character to the Tavern community and potentially earn credits back from other people chatting with it.
Limitations and alternatives
The credit-based system means casual users can burn through the free daily Mochi quickly if they generate a lot of images or send many Tavern messages, and heavier users will likely need a paid plan or credit packs to keep up. Because the platform focuses specifically on anime style and character roleplay, it is not a good fit for general-purpose photorealistic image generation. Yodayo also hosts mature and NSFW-adjacent content in parts of its community, so it is not suitable for younger users or workplace use. For alternatives, check the official site for current comparisons, but commonly mentioned options in this space include NovelAI for anime image generation and text roleplay, and Character.AI for character chat without the anime art focus.
