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
