2. OurDream
Building a virtual partner that looks and acts convincingly real
Stronger on images, customisation. Weaker on value. Top of the pile for visual realism. The rest works well enough that the higher price stops feeling like a problem.

Shaping a precise AI girlfriend
Stronger on customisation. Weaker on voice, value. A near-complete builder, but the cost only works if you actually need that depth.

Long talks
Stronger on conversation, memory, value. Weaker on images, voice, customisation. Pick this if you want to talk. It loops back on itself sometimes. The free tier chokes too fast to really tell.
