How we rank

Our goal is simple: help you find the right AI fantasy or roleplay app without wasting money. Here's exactly how we rank, score and rank — and how we stay independent.

What we evaluate

We score every app across six core areas, weighted toward what matters for fantasy and roleplay:

  • Chat quality & realism — how natural, coherent and in-character the conversation feels.
  • Roleplay & story — scenario depth, in-character consistency and how immersive it is.
  • Memory & context — how well it remembers details and keeps continuity over time.
  • Images & media — quality and consistency of image (and where offered, video) generation.
  • Value — what you get for the price, free-tier quality and pricing transparency.
  • Privacy & safety — data handling, billing discretion and clear adults-only policies.

How scoring works

Each area gets a score, and we combine them into an overall rating out of 5. We weight roleplay, chat quality and memory most heavily because they define the experience on a fantasy/roleplay site. A high overall score means an app does the important things well — not just that it has the most features.

In-depth testing

We sign up and actually use each app — testing conversation, roleplay, customization, images and the free tier where available. We re-check apps periodically because this space moves fast: features, models and pricing change often, and our rankings are updated to reflect that.

Independence & affiliate links

AIFantasy.se is free to read because some links are affiliate links: if you sign up through a button marked "Ad" or "Visit", we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects our scores or rankings. We rank apps on merit, include genuine pros and cons, and would rather keep your trust than chase a commission. Read our full affiliate disclosure.

A note on pricing

Prices in this category are promotional, region-dependent and frequently A/B-tested, and most apps use token or credit systems. We show realistic ranges and always recommend checking the current price on the app's own site before subscribing.
