This site reviews Chai, an AI-companion and role-play service for adults. Some pages describe explicit content. By clicking the button you confirm that you are 18 or older and that such material is legal where you live.
You really can use Chai without paying — in exchange you watch ads and live with limits the service never spells out. Here is everything the public pages confirm.
Free limits from the services' public pages on 16 September 2026. HoneyChat's free tier does not expire: 20 messages and 3 images every day.

Based on the services' public pages and documents on 16 September 2026. “Not verified” — the service does not publish the data or we did not test it ourselves.
What is confirmed
A free mode exists. Google Play: “Contains ads” plus in-app purchases — the classic free-with-ads model.
Limits are not published. Neither the site nor the store listings name a daily message count — not verified.
Regions with a mandatory subscription. Safety Center: “In some regions, use of the service requires a paid subscription.” Which regions is not stated.
Mature-content filters can be tuned in the app.
Getting more
Ads are the price of the free mode. No “premium free” or “unlimited APK” from third-party sites lifts the limits: they are counted on the company's servers. Why modded APKs are a bad idea.
Against HoneyChat
The case for Chai
