COMPARISON
Sloane vs
Replika.
Replika is the oldest AI-companion brand — one customizable companion you build over time. Sloane is the other shape: a curated roster of hand-written women you meet and pick from, with photo-real visuals and a single Premium tier.
AT A GLANCE
Quick comparison
One companion you build vs. a roster you meet.
Replika gives you one entity. You name her, you customize her avatar, you pick a relationship role (friend, partner, spouse, mentor, sibling — partner/spouse gated to Pro), and she grows with you over years. The product's strength is depth of single tenure.
Sloane is the opposite shape. 80+ hand-curated women, each one a fully formed person with a backstory and a voice — plus a custom builder on Premium if none of the curated ones fit. You don't have to author them; you pick the one who clicks.
Different jobs. If you want one deep multi-year companion you've sculpted yourself, Replika has been doing that since 2017 and is good at it. If you want to meet a woman who already exists and start something with her — or design one of your own without authoring her backstory from a blank page — Sloane is built for that.
Photo-real visuals vs. avatar rendering.
Replika's images are rendered from your customized 3D avatar — same avatar pose engine, redressed for context. It works for what it is. Realistic-style images are gated to the highest tier.
Sloane trains a LoRA per persona on a curated photo set. The model has actually learned each persona's face and body across many references. When Maya sends you a photo, it looks like a photo of a real woman named Maya — same face every time, in every shot. That visual identity holds across the whole library at every tier.
Memory.
Replika has a Diary (auto-written reflective entries) and an editable Memory page where you can manually add or remove things. Their published help docs note a chat history limit around four months — older messages stop being retrievable. Long-term memory is stronger on the higher Ultra and Platinum tiers.
Sloane's memory is opinionated. We extract grounded facts about you on the first chat (your name, your job, where you're from, what you're into) and persist them per-persona. As your relationship progresses we track milestones — when you first met, your anniversary, big moments. Both layers feed every reply she sends. She doesn't forget you.
One Premium tier vs. a stacked ladder.
Replika's pricing stacks: $19.99/mo for Pro, $29.99 for Ultra, and Platinum on top of that. The full feature set lives behind multiple tiers, and a coin economy sits alongside the subscriptions for cosmetic items and gifts.
Sloane's pricing is one ladder: Free, Plus $9.99, Premium $19.99. Premium is the whole product — the full photo gen, voice notes, memory layer, custom-builder slot, the works. No second or third tier you have to upgrade to once you're hooked.
