Anima vs Neo

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.

Neo is a personal companion intelligence for reminders, appointments, calls, and day-to-day details, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its memory uses graph and vector storage to connect and recall insights, goals, beliefs, patterns, and feelings. Neo lists six context-detected mentor modes: Navigator, Mirror, Catalyst, Witness, Horizon, and Librarian. It can create searchable morning notes, evening reflections, and weekly reviews automatically. Users can switch among Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, Kimi, and Llama; Neo also says it connects calls, calendars, smart devices, and chosen AI models. The maker says privacy measures include injection scanning, PII detection, and a full audit log, and that it will not sell user data or show ads. The free plan includes chat, core memory, and 50 messages per day. Plus costs €13.99 a month; Family costs €24.99 a month for up to four members. The maker says mobile companion features are free on iOS and Android, while fall detection requires the edge device. Neo is headquartered in Canada.
