AI Dungeon: a text adventure with an AI — and what it really costs

AI Dungeon is the oldest service in our sample: domain since January 2019, 1.4 million App Store ratings and the slogan “free AI text adventure game”. It is a game, not a companion: worlds, scenarios, story generators. Here is what is free, what four subscriptions cost and where it falls short.

Monthly price: AI Dungeon vs HoneyChat

AI Dungeon$14.99 (Journey)

HoneyChat Premium$9.99

Journey is AI Dungeon's first paid tier. HoneyChat Premium is the first tier with unlimited messages.

The genre sets it apart from its neighbours. AI Dungeon does not offer a “girlfriend” or a “companion”: it is a story engine with worlds, scenarios and a community of authors. Characters here are part of the plot, not an interlocutor who remembers you.

Three things to know first

Pricing in detail

AI Dungeon vs HoneyChat

The case for AI Dungeon

Seven years of history, a transparent company in Utah, an app with a million ratings and a real adventure engine with worlds and scenarios. If you want a text game rather than a conversation partner — AI Dungeon.

The case for HoneyChat

stability / price

now the app is near unplayable due to constant crashes during entering a command … don’t make me mention the price hike on subscription service here, it’s awful

Codeman030 · 06/28/2026 · App Store

If you’re patient and work within the limitations of AI, it works really well. … There are inconsistencies, and limitations for free users which is fine. I have a bigger issue with the UI

MythicHex · 03/11/2024 · App Store

memory

I only have occasional minor issues the game is great … it makes me wish I could have it have just a little bit more memory

energy / ads

This app used to be great. … After that was the energy system and now the near-objectively worse 10-input per-advertisement sy[stem]

Pokebud10 · 07/28/2022 · App Store

Our reading

Crashes, the subscription price hike and memory limits dominate. HoneyChat is a character chat rather than a text game, but it has no energy system and no ads.
