Talkie Alternative for Adults
Leaving Talkie over the filter, adverts or memory? How Talkie compares with RolePlaya, an adults-only alternative with no adverts, long-term memory and card import.
Talkie is great for voices and quick chats, but its own rules shut out mature roleplay, free users see adverts, and characters forget older conversations. If that is why you are looking around, this page compares Talkie with RolePlaya on the things that matter, including where Talkie is still the better pick.
Why people leave Talkie
Talkie is made by MiniMax, a Shanghai AI company, and it is one of the biggest character apps around. The reasons people give for leaving come up again and again:
- The content filter. Talkie's FAQ says plainly that "pornographic and violent content are prohibited". Users regularly hit the message asking them to change the topic, even in scenes that were never explicit. It was the most common complaint in Talkie's subreddits over the last month.
- Adverts on the free plan. Free accounts see ads between conversations. Talkie+ removes them.
- Memory. Talkie's own FAQ says memory is technically limited, so older conversations get "forgotten".
- Gems on top of the subscription. Some unlocks and extras cost gems, a separate currency, even for paying members.
- A teen audience. Talkie's terms admit users from 16 with a parent's permission, and its Google Play listing is rated Teen. That is a big part of why the filter is so strict.
Talkie also disappeared from Apple's US App Store in December 2024. It is still on Google Play and the web.
What Talkie still does well
Talkie's character voices are its best feature, and free users get short voice calls. It has a huge library, a polished app and collectible character cards. If you want quick, safe-for-work chats with voice and you do not mind adverts, Talkie is a good app.

What RolePlaya does that Talkie does not
- Adults only, with mature chat allowed. Chats can be flirty, romantic and mature between adult characters, so you are not fighting a filter built for teenagers.
- No adverts, ever. Not on the free plan and not on paid ones.
- Memory you can keep. Free characters hold the last 40 messages. Long-term memory that carries across chats is 300 Playa Points per character, earned free every day or bought, and is included on Total Playa at $19.99 a month.
- Worlds. A whole cast shares one setting, one story and one memory.
- Multi Playa scenes with two or three characters at once, free on every plan.
- Dream Partner. Build your own companion from scratch, then chat, dress them and fill a gallery.
- The Arena. Creators send their characters into dialogue battles that members watch and vote on. How the Arena works.
- Mood Faces and Their Diary. Expressions that change with the scene, and a private diary the character keeps about you.
- Bring your characters with you. V2 and V3 character cards from Janitor AI, Chub and SillyTavern import directly, and you can paste in an old chat to carry on where you left off.
Moving your characters across
- Open the Talkie character you made and copy its description, personality and greeting into a text file.
- Paste them into a character card with our free Character Card Maker, or straight into the RolePlaya character creator.
- Import the card, add an original image and publish, or keep the character private.
- To carry on a conversation, copy it from Talkie and paste it into Import Chat. How to import a chat.
The character will run on a different model, so expect the first few replies to feel a little different while it settles in.
Try it
RolePlaya is free to start, with 50 messages a day, no card details and no adverts. 18+ only.
Questions
Does Talkie allow NSFW?
No. Talkie's FAQ says pornographic and violent content are prohibited, and its filter asks you to change the topic when a chat drifts that way. Paying for Talkie+ does not change the content rules.
Is Talkie free?
Talkie has a free plan with a daily message allowance and adverts. Talkie+ costs $9.99 a month and removes the adverts, and gems are sold separately for extras.
Why does my Talkie character forget things?
Talkie's own FAQ says its AI memory is technically limited, so older parts of a conversation are forgotten.
Is RolePlaya free?
Yes. The free plan gives 50 messages a day with no adverts and no card details. Bit of a Playa at $9.99 a month and Total Playa at $19.99 a month add unlimited messages and more memory.
What content does RolePlaya allow?
RolePlaya is an 18+ platform only. Chats can be flirty, romantic and mature between adult characters. Images never contain nudity or pornography. Nothing involving minors.
What about other platforms?
There are comparisons for Character.AI, PolyBuzz, Kindroid, SpicyChat and Janitor AI, and a list of the best AI roleplay sites.

Where do I get help or ask for a feature?
RolePlaya has an active Discord community where members get help, report bugs and ask for new features, and the developer answers them directly. Most fixes land the same day, and many features on the site started as member requests there. Join the RolePlaya Discord.
