TryNectar Review

Video calling is the feature that separates this from the rest of the AI companion category. Most services here do text, images and sometimes voice; a live video call format is a step further, and it's the thing the service leads with.

Around it sits the expected set: 24/7 chat, image generation, a character library described as thousands of characters, and a creation tool for your own.

Pricing is published at $5 a month, which is both unusually transparent for this category and unusually cheap. There's a free tier to start.

What the FAQ chooses to answer is telling: alongside the basics it addresses data privacy directly. In a category where people are typing intimate material into someone else's service, publishing a position on that is a reasonable thing to do — though a published position is a statement rather than a guarantee.

Community runs through Discord and Reddit rather than on-site.

What the free tier includes before it stops isn't specified, and with a video-call feature the compute cost is high enough that the limit likely matters more than on a text-only service.
