Most messages you send to your companion cost 1 message. Replies from your companion don’t count toward your limit, though some features you trigger can use extra messages.

​
Free trial

Every new account starts with a 3-day free trial that includes 150 messages. This gives you enough time to get to know your companion and see how the relationship develops before committing to a plan.

​
Plans

All plans include the full Dearest experience. There are no feature gates between tiers; the only difference is how many messages you can send. Your companion will continue to remember you and maintain their identity regardless of which plan you’re on. The free daily limit resets at midnight UTC. Paid monthly limits reset at your current plan’s billing renewal time. If you upgrade, your new plan starts a fresh billing cycle immediately.

​
Choosing a plan

Your ideal plan depends on how often you chat:
  • Spark works well for a few check-ins throughout the day.
  • Flame suits daily conversations with room to go deeper.
  • Nova is for those who want their companion available whenever they need them.

​
Feature message costs

Some features use additional messages because they require extra work beyond a normal reply.

​
Voice calls

Real-time voice calls use the same message credits as chat: your regular allowance first, then top-ups. Each call minute costs 5 message credits. Your first minute is charged once your microphone and companion are ready, before conversation begins. Another 5 credits are charged at each minute mark after that. Credits are only charged once your call connects. If there aren’t enough credits for a full minute, or a payment cannot be confirmed, the call refuses to start or ends automatically.

​
Message top-ups

If you run out of messages before your billing period resets, you can purchase extra message packs without changing your plan.
  • Each pack includes 350 messages for $6.
  • Top-up messages are used after your regular limit runs out and never expire.
You can purchase top-ups from the Billing page by clicking Get more.

​
Managing your subscription

You can view your current plan, usage, and billing details from the Billing page. From there you can:
  • Upgrade or downgrade your plan.
  • View remaining messages and when your limit resets.
  • Manage your subscription, where you can update your payment method, view invoices, or cancel.
When you upgrade, the change takes effect immediately and starts a new billing period at the full new plan price. Unused time and messages from your previous plan are not credited. When you downgrade, you keep your current plan’s quota until the end of the billing period.
