Anima vs Joii

Anima is an AI companion for conversation and companionship, available on the web, Android, and iOS. Users can customize a companion’s personality, tone, style, and backstory, then chat or call with an AI friend. The service describes conversations that may be lighthearted, supportive, or deeper, and says the companion remembers details from earlier chats and can revisit previous topics. It is described as available 24/7. Getting started costs nothing; tokens can be purchased to unlock some higher-tier features. Anima is not intended for people under 18. Its privacy policy says it collects information such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, device details, and identifiers, and names Azure, Amplitude, AppsFlyer, Google, Firebase, Stripe, OneSignal, and RevenueCat among third-party solutions it may use. Users can contact [email protected] to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data. The blocked content policy says a proprietary LLM-based filter may flag content for manual review; violations can lead to account suspension or termination. The same email address is listed for questions and customer support.
