Ensoul vs Kissable

Ensoul is a local-first AI companion app that keeps a companion’s identity, memory, mood, and history as documents on the user’s device. It runs on Android, macOS, Windows, and the web. Users can connect directly to a provider or use one key to access Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and open models. Memories from conversations can be reviewed, corrected, or deleted. Ensoul can import companions from documents, folders, files, character cards, notes, and chat exports, then export a folder containing identity, history, media, and tools. Listed features include group conversations between companions, generated images, and voice. Its folder tool can read coding-agent session stores from Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and DeepSeek Harness. The free plan requires users to bring their own model key and does not require an account. Hosted access is available through a 12.00 USD one-time contribution, which grants three months of sustained access. Desktop and mobile app data is stored locally; browser data and API keys are kept in that browser’s local storage. The maker describes Ensoul as early software built by one person.

Kissable is an AI companion app for creating a girlfriend, boyfriend, or friend that remembers conversations and can send photos and voice messages. Its persistent knowledge graph collects conversation details and displays them in a visual Discover tab. Companions can generate couple photos and send eight-second video messages with audio and camera movement. Voice messages have 10+ emotional tones, and their speed and intimacy adapt as the relationship deepens. A companion can text first up to five times daily, with messages informed by time of day, local weather, holidays, and the most recent conversation. Users can choose from 40+ personality traits, write a backstory, and upload an image or select from a catalog. Kissable says users can import a companion’s personality, memories, shared history, and preferences from other apps. Its privacy policy says conversations, photos, and voice clips are not sold, used for advertising, or used to train AI models; messages are processed by third-party AI providers. Kissable is for adults aged 18 and over. Premium costs $19.99 a month; one-time Kisses purchases are also available.
