Alternative for chai

so, for a while now I've seen a bunch of people complaining about the app as they should BUT, it isn't that bad.

Ive been using the app for YEARS, like ever since the icon was redish-pink like we used to have a 100 message limit but now it's out of hand tbh, from what I understand they're trying to drive away the free users for some reason. now the ai model they use is quite expensive so they've resorted to limiting chats and not letting people from certain areas use the app to focus on countries that use the app more often. till now I have gotten limited a bunch of times but for some odd reason I keep avoiding it like I'm not even gatekeeping anything I genuinely don't know how.

I understand expenses and everything but there are better ways since they aren't increasing their income by driving away people that use the app the most, SO here's an alternative app I use whenever chai Is being a pain in the ass—sea soul, it's pretty good tbh but it needs some slight improvement in the NSFW department and it has an option to chat with people but I find that bit annoying since I don't like notifications but it's best if you ignore it, it also has a great memory and I personally think after a while and more attention it'll improve and it's LITERALLY so similar to chai.

so, if chai is being a pain and you don't have the patience to wait, sea soul is a good alternative.
