SoulGen
Character creator with generative imagery on demand.
My honest take · tested for 2 weeks
From $24.99/mo
What I loved
- Works well on phone, not just laptop
- Remembers small details across sessions
- Free tier actually usable
Where it bugged me
- Limited free tier compared to competitors
- Some pricing tiers feel confusing at first glance
My honest summary
SoulGen is one of those apps I kept coming back to. The visual fidelity is the headline, but what kept me there was the small stuff — how it remembered something I'd said three days earlier, how the tone shifted when I was tired. It's not perfect. It's still worth a try if you want visual-first AI companion.

How we actually test these apps
We pay for our own subscriptions. We test for at least 8 hours per platform, across multiple days, multiple personas. We talk to the apps the way you would: with curiosity, with patience, paying attention to how they made us feel. Then we write what we found. No sponsorship deals, no affiliate weighting on the scores. Boring, slow, honest.
