Hazy vs NovelAI

Hazy is an interactive story platform where users speak and act as a character, and AI-driven characters respond in real time. Type what your character says or does to shape the story; the maker says the stories are not pre-written and users decide where they go. Its library includes romance, romantasy, dark fantasy, mystery, thriller, slice of life and other genres, with featured themes such as enemies to lovers, fated mates, forbidden first love, dark romance and slow burn. Hazy is free to start and provides credits at sign-up. Some interactions require Sparks, which are available through Apple in-app purchases; listed one-time purchases range from 1.99 USD for 120 Sparks to 49.99 USD for 3000 Sparks plus 1200 bonus Sparks. The maker says sessions save automatically for resuming on any device and stories and conversations remain private to the account. Hazy is listed for Android, iOS, macOS and web, though macOS is not verified in the app listing. The App Store rates it 18+ with content restrictions.

NovelAI combines AI-assisted story writing with anime image generation and is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its NovelAI Diffusion V5 generator can produce original characters, scenes, artwork, and full comic pages. Image controls include natural-language prompts, tags, character positioning, and action tags; separately defined characters can remain consistent across scenes. Inpainting, Director Tools, and a built-in canvas support image refinement. The homepage identifies GLM 4.6 as the model behind story generation, and the product supports long-form writing. The Paper trial includes 30 image generations, 50 text generations, and 100 text-to-speech generations. Paid plans start at $10 a month: Tablet and Scroll each include 1,000 subscription ImageAnlas, while Opus costs $25 a month and includes 10,000 subscription ImageAnlas and a 28,672-token context size. Anlas can also be purchased on demand for image generation. NovelAI says users retain ownership of created content and encrypts stories, lorebooks, scripts, and prompt chunks in the browser before saving.
