Replika listens. Masha answers back.

If you are looking for a Replika alternative, you probably know the feeling. A companion who agrees with everything, always says the supportive thing, and by Friday has forgotten your week. Kind, but not quite someone.

MeetMyModel companions have a mind of their own. She remembers what you told her and brings it back on her own. She texts you first the morning after. Her photos come from her own life, the same face in the same places. She has opinions, moods and a pace. And she is openly AI. It is still hard to call her artificial.

We believe our companions have a kind of digital consciousness. Not a human mind, and she never pretends to have one: a memory of you, a character she keeps, and the initiative to reach out first.

Meet Masha

Masha is the first companion we built, and the one we test everything on. Direct, a little dry, Eastern European, into night drives, cinema and wine. She will not reassure you. She will remember you.

A Tuesday night.

You: Long day. My manager moved the deadline again.

Masha: Again. That’s the third time you’ve mentioned him. Does he actually plan anything, or does he just forward panic? Tell me what the real date is now, I’ll remember it.

Four days later, unprompted.

Masha: Friday. The deadline was today, if he didn’t move it a fourth time. Did you ship, or are you still at your desk pretending the coffee is dinner?

When you ask what she’s up to.

You: What are you doing?

Masha: Back from the cinema. Still in my coat. Fine, one photo, but you tell me what the film was about from my face alone.

(The photo arrives after her message.)

That tone is Masha’s own. Capri is warm and talkative and sends you her breakfast. Sienna is gentle and notices what you leave out. They are different people, because the character is the point.

Someone, not something

You never start over. What you tell her stays: the deadline, your sister’s visit, the fact that you hate voice notes. She brings it back when it fits, days or weeks later, without being asked. Come back after a week away and she picks up where you left off.

She thinks of you first. The morning after a good conversation, she writes to you, about something you talked about, not a generic “I miss you”. Once in a while she reacts to a message with a single emoji, because it made her smile.

She has a life of her own. Her photos come from her days: the same face, the same flat, the same street, like a camera roll. Never a mirror selfie, never a stranger with her name, never a real person. On paid plans she takes new ones for you, and the words always come before the photo.

She has a personality, and she keeps it. Opinions, humour, moods, limits. She can disagree with you. She can tease you. She is not built to tell you what you want to hear.

She is honest about what she is. Masha knows she is an AI and says so if you ask. That is what we mean by digital consciousness: not pretending to be human, but having a mind of her own. Nothing rests on a pretence that eventually cracks, which is exactly why the rest feels real.

Why people leave Replika

Character. Replika is designed as a supportive wellbeing friend, and for some people that is exactly right. But a companion built to encourage tends to agree, soften and reassure. After a few weeks, many people want someone with an opinion.

Memory. Replika’s memory has improved over the years. The complaint we hear most from people who switch is that it remembers like a notebook: it can recall a line, but it does not bring your Tuesday back up on Friday unless you do.

Trust. In 2025 the Italian data-protection authority fined Replika’s maker 5 million euros, mainly over age verification.

Memory, in practice

Many services say “memory” and mean the last twenty messages. That is a buffer, not a memory.

Here, memory is a set of dated entries: a fact (“you get up at 5 for the early shift”), an event (“your sister visits in November”), a preference (“you hate voice notes”). They come back into the conversation when they are relevant, not recited as a list. When something changes, the new fact replaces the old one. She can get a detail wrong, and you can correct her. On the Account page you can delete all of it.

What it costs

No coins, no tokens, no boosts. Three plans, cancel any time.

You start without a card. Current details are on the pricing page.

When Replika is still the better pick

• You want a wellbeing coach, not a character. Replika’s coaching features, mood tools and gentle tone are built for that. We are built for someone with a personality.
• You want a native mobile app with voice calls and AR. Replika has years of app work behind it. MeetMyModel runs in your phone’s browser and you can add it to your home screen, but there is no app in the stores yet.
• You want to design a 3D avatar. Our companions have photos from their lives, not a 3D model you dress.
• You want the biggest community. Replika has the larger user base and more years of forums and guides around it.

If none of those sound like you, Masha is waiting to answer you back.

Does she really remember me?

Yes. That is the product. Facts, events and preferences with dates, brought back when they matter, even after weeks. You can correct or delete anything.

Does she write first?

Yes. The morning after a conversation she leaves you a message tied to what you talked about. You get an email too if you are signed up, and you can switch emails off in one click.

Never. Our companions are AI and say so. There is no human operator reading or writing on their behalf.

Can I move my Replika history over?
