Probably the best allround AI companion service around, certainly at time of writing. Our little Secret!
Several months ago, Secrets was a service I investigated but I wasn't all that captivated - a competitor captivated me more. They had a MUCH cheaper subscription with a CrAzY annual payment discount, and while their trial sucked, I thought that getting an annual sub for a relative steal was worth the gamble, based on what the internet at large was saying about them. I grew to love that service, was blown away by how much I enjoyed the chat and especially the custom image generation. I learnt how to prompt reasonably well to get amazing results, created a multitude of characters I loved and enjoyed sharing images with the community (and made some friends along the way!) I also started spending more money on their tokens. Why? I was enjoying the service - why wouldn't I want to spend more? Unfortunately, that service decided that I wasn't their 'preferred' type of user when they decided to go down a path of taking good features away and stripping down the service into a mediocre "roleplay" chat experience. The writing was on the wall when they released time-limited exclusive characters that you had to pay for to access - unlike all their other premade characters. FOMO time! This upset me (and many many others) and made me seek out alternatives that met my needs better. I was recommended to take another look at Secrets and I'm glad I did. It has exceeded all my expectations and has clearly improved since I last looked. The community is great and has none of the negativity, vitriol and frustration that the other service does (Who knew that upsetting your userbase by degrading your product would make for an unpleasant community?) Like ANY AI service, it's not perfect and is in a constant state of development. But the devs seem to be communicative, they're transparent, responsive to feedback and have changelogs, and are ever present on Discord, which I recommend you join. I worked out the pricing - even with a more expensive subscription, I'd still be able to pay less and generate more pictures with Secrets. The pictures (on Advanced mode) are very good. Premium mode (confusing choice of names but okay) are better for NSFW but are less consistent. Advanced mode prompts are followed so well, most or all of the details are present, and there's good customisation. Since the pictures are so good at following the prompt (not all the time, but most times) I don't need to generate as much, which makes me very happy. They ALSO have an 'edit' function, so you can keep the bits you like, and change the bits you don't. What a great Quality of Life feature that I was longing for on the other service. The 'Create Character' process allows for custom prompting all the way. The characters you create can look amazing, but also realistically beautiful rather than 'stylised beauty' like some other competitors. The chat feels very natural, it has a clever OOC system that 'runs' the chat, so it's easy to set things up and direct things, and the memory (while not perfect) is miles ahead of the competition. The only 'weakness' is that they don't have many (or varied) pre-made characters - but the community-creations make up for it and as I mentioned, creating your own is far more workable than much of the competition. These people know what they're doing, and they haven't sunk all their money into marketing and targeting the lowest common denominator of "lol show me ur boobz" and I'm grateful for that. I have nothing bad to say about this service - it's definitely on the right track. To the Secrets team: Thank you!!! Keep on improving things, keep on making the core experience better, as you're doing. You're awesome. You also probably know which competitor I'm talking about. Please - don't aspire to be like them. You're already better than them - they're the ones that should be aspiring to be like you.
