About Kindroid
What is Kindroid (2026 update)
Kindroid is a personal AI companion app in the chatbot and virtual assistant category that lets you build a highly customized AI character with its own personality, memory, and voice, then chat, voice call, or video call with it. It is built around deep character customization rather than a generic chatbot interface.
What is new in 2026
Kindroid moved from numbered model versions to named models in 2026. The current lineup runs from Reverie (V8.5) at the top down through Lucid or Lyric (V8), Prism (V7.5), Equinox (V7), to Rhapsody (V6) as the baseline model for Standard subscribers. The team has also shipped iMessage and RCS texting support and live AI video calls in early 2026, on top of continuing to refine the voice pipeline for sub-second latency with natural pauses, breathing, and laughter rather than flat text-to-speech playback.
Key features
- Codex personality system with free-text fields for backstory, values, and key memories, built on a 47-parameter character construction system
- Five-level cascaded memory architecture for longer-term recall across conversations
- Group chat supporting up to 20 AI companions in one conversation, each keeping its own personality, voice, and memory context
- Voice and video calls with a voice pipeline tuned for natural spoken conversation
- iMessage and RCS texting support added in early 2026
- AI image generation of companion selfies, with quality tied to plan tier
Pricing in 2026
Kindroid uses a free tier plus a paid Standard plan with two optional add-ons that stack on top of it. Mobile app store prices run slightly higher than the web prices below.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Two companion slots, unlimited text chat on the Lite model, 3-day trial of paid features |
| Standard | $13.99/month, or $37.99 per 3 months, or $139.99/year (about $11.67/month) | Full Codex personality system, text chat, image generation, and the core memory architecture, unlimited V6 model access, weekly bonus of 6 premium selfie credits |
| Ultra add-on | +$24.99/month (requires Standard, monthly billing only) | Expanded memory and enhanced voice features with breathing patterns and emotional adaptation |
| MAX add-on | +$59.99/month (requires Standard and Ultra) | Higher-consistency image generation; full stack totals about $98.97/month |
Extra selfie packs cost $5.99 for 50 or $9.99 for 100 images, and extra companion slots cost $2.99 for one or $9.99 for four. Check the official site for the current mobile app store pricing, since it differs from the web rates above.
Who should use it
Kindroid fits people who want one deeply customized AI companion with persistent memory, voice calls, and a personality they define in detail, rather than a quick generic chatbot. The Ultra and MAX add-ons are aimed at users who lean on voice and image features daily and are willing to pay close to $99/month for the full stack. It is a weaker fit for anyone who just wants occasional casual chat, since the free tier caps you to two companion slots and a lighter Lite model.
Limitations and alternatives
The full Standard plus Ultra plus MAX stack runs close to $99/month, which is a meaningful jump from the $13.99/month base Standard plan, so budget-conscious users should decide up front which add-ons they actually need. The free plan’s 3-day trial of paid features also means most of the deeper memory and voice quality sits behind a paywall after that trial ends. For companion apps with a similar depth of customization and memory, reviewers commonly compare Kindroid against Replika, Character.AI, and Nomi.ai, each with its own take on memory, voice, and image generation. Check each provider’s current pricing and model lineup directly, since this space updates model names and rates frequently.
