PolyBuzz
Chat with over 20 million AI characters, each with its own voice, or create your own.
PolyBuzz is an app for chatting with AI characters. You pick a character, from anime heroes and historical figures to celebrities and original creations, then talk to it in text or by voice: each one has its own voice and personality. The platform claims more than 20 million characters, most of them created by its community.
Launched in 2023 by Cloud Whale Interactive Technology, it is one of the most popular entertainment apps around: 4.6/5 from more than 22,000 ratings on the French App Store, where it is rated 18+.
How does PolyBuzz work?
You browse characters by theme (romance, anime, horror, celebrities…) and start a conversation. The AI keeps track of the story and stays in character. Group chats let several characters talk at once. Anyone can also create a character, with its own look, personality and voice, and keep it private or share it. A built-in image generator rounds things out.
PolyBuzz runs on iPhone, Android and the web, in more than 25 languages. The publisher bans NSFW content from public display and says moderation combines automated filters with human review.
PolyBuzz pricing in 2026
The core experience is free: you can chat and create characters without paying, with ads. Two subscriptions, ExplorerPlus and PolyPlus, add chat models with longer memory, unlimited voice playback and an ad-free experience. On the French App Store they cost between €7.90 and €34.90 per month depending on the plan and current offer, with yearly options. Coins, from €0.99, extend voice calls or regenerate replies.
Our verdict on PolyBuzz
Pros: a huge character catalogue, convincing voices and an app you can use right away, mostly for free.
Cons: moderation that some App Store reviewers find too strict, even on private characters, and pricing that is hard to read. Like any entertainment AI, characters can make things up: use it for role-play and storytelling, not for information.
