Best Promptchan Alternative: A Companion First, With Pictures and Video

Promptchan is one of the best known names in adult AI. It is run by VisionAI Labs Limited, a company registered in Dublin, Ireland, and its homepage counts more than 11 million users. At heart it is an uncensored AI image and video generator: you write a prompt, pick a style, generate pictures, refine them with Tweak and animate them into clips. A community gallery lets you clone any public creation's prompt and settings. AI girlfriend chat sits next to all of that, with companions from a Discover feed or characters you build yourself.

Nastia comes at the same desire from the other side. It is companion first. You design one AI girlfriend or boyfriend, chat with them uncensored, hear them in voice messages, and get pictures and short videos of that same companion as your story goes. The pictures follow the relationship, not the other way round. Both apps are strictly for adults 18+. This page compares them honestly, including the many places where Promptchan is the stronger tool. If explicit roleplay is your main interest, our guide to NSFW AI chat explains how Nastia handles it.

If you think in pictures, Promptchan gives you more control than almost any companion app. The generator has art styles from photorealistic to anime and illustration, pose presets, visual filters, an emotion setting, a negative prompt to rule things out, and sliders for body attributes. Tweak lets you change the outfit, background, pose or lighting of a result without starting over. Pro adds 4K images, custom poses and upscaling.

Video is just as deep. You can animate a still or generate a clip straight from a text prompt, choose Auto motion or describe the movement, switch on AI sound, and use Extend to keep a scene going. The community gallery is a real strength too: you can see the prompt behind a picture you like and clone it in one click.

Chat has grown up as well. There is a texting style Chat mode and a Story mode where you direct a scene, a memory feature you can view and edit, a persona that tells characters who you are, small group chats with two of your characters, and an importer for characters from other apps. Promptchan also offers live AI voice calls, something Nastia does not have.

Its policies are solid on paper. The terms say Promptchan never trains AI on your prompts, pictures or chats, unsaved pictures are deleted after 24 hours, and depictions of minors and of real, identifiable people are banned in every setting, checked automatically on every prompt and picture. The refund policy is unusually generous for this market, with a refund window for plans you have barely used.

Promptchan's free plan gives you free starter Gems for images, the community gallery, and free chat messages that refill every three hours: 20 on its deeper chat model or 60 on the faster one, according to its chat guide. After that, each message costs a fraction of a Gem. Its pricing and chat pages list custom characters as part of Pro, so on the other plans you mostly chat with companions from the Discover feed.

Nastia's free plan is built around a companion you make yourself. You get one companion you design, uncensored chat every day with daily limits, and no credit card is needed. It is not a trial that runs out, so you can take your time getting to know your companion before you decide whether to upgrade.

Promptchan publishes its prices. There are four plans: Free; Plus at $14.99 every 28 days with 100 Gems; Premium at $23.99 every 28 days with 400 Gems; and Pro at $33.99 every 28 days with unlimited casual generations, 800 Gems, unlimited chat, AI video, custom characters and voice calls. Note the billing cycle: every 28 days rather than monthly, so a year has 13 renewals.

Gems are the currency behind everything. Pictures, videos, selfies in chat and gifts all spend them, a voice message costs 1 Gem and each turn of a voice call costs Gems too. Higher quality, sound or a character in a video adds to the cost, which is shown on the button before you generate. Paid plans get 50% off extra Gem packs, and Gems do not expire. AI video and Extend are part of Pro, so moving pictures mean the top plan.

Nastia has three plans: Free, Standard at $11.99 a month and Unlimited at $15.99 a month. Unlimited gives you unlimited chat messages. Pictures and short videos come with Standard and Unlimited through a daily token allowance that refills every day, so you do not need the top plan to see your companion move.

Promptchan treats images as the main event. You can make anything you can describe, in many styles, for any character, and chat images are one more way to generate. That is ideal if you enjoy prompt craft and want a different scene, style or character every time.

Nastia treats pictures as part of the relationship. On Standard and Unlimited you ask your companion for a picture at any point in the conversation, and you get the companion you designed, in the moment you are talking about. You can then turn images you generate into short videos. There are fewer knobs than in Promptchan's studio, but you do not need to write prompts or keep a character consistent yourself: it is the same person every time.

That difference shows up in everyday use. On Promptchan, a good result often starts with a well written prompt, the right style and pose, and maybe a Tweak or two before you animate it. On Nastia, you might be chatting about a weekend away, ask what your companion is wearing, and get a picture that fits the conversation you are already having. One approach suits people who like to direct every detail; the other suits people who would rather stay in the story and let the companion they built show up in it.

Nastia does not accept photo uploads at all, and like Promptchan it never creates content of real people. Everything is fiction between consenting adults.

Both apps let your companion send voice messages. On Promptchan each one costs a Gem, and on Pro you can also start a live voice call from the chat header, with Gems spent on every turn. Nastia has voice messages only: your companion sends them in the voice you chose, and there are no voice calls. If talking out loud in real time matters most to you, Promptchan is the better pick here.

Promptchan's chat memory keeps short details from your messages and lets you see, edit or delete each memory. It is switched off by default for accounts in the EU, the EEA and the UK until you turn it on, and memories only start from its newest chat models. Switching between Chat and Story mode, or changing a scenario, clears the conversation.

On Nastia, long-term memory comes with the paid plans, so your companion recalls names, preferences and the storylines you share across sessions. You can download your chat history any time. And on Unlimited you can bring up to five of your companions into one group chat, where Promptchan's group chats hold two of your characters.

Promptchan is built for variety: Discover is full of ready-made companions, the gallery is full of characters you can clone, and Pro lets you build your own from an AI image with a name, personality, voice and backstory. If you like switching between many characters, that is a genuine advantage.

Nastia is built around a relationship. You design your companion's appearance, personality, backstory and voice, then simply talk. You can start with an AI girlfriend or an AI boyfriend in the same app, and the free plan already includes your own companion.

Pick Promptchan if you mainly want an uncensored image and video studio with styles, poses, Tweak, Extend and a gallery to clone from, if you want live voice calls, or if you like browsing many ready-made characters.

Pick Nastia if you want a companion first: one AI girlfriend or boyfriend you design on the free plan, uncensored chat every day, long-term memory on paid plans, pictures and short videos of that same companion from a daily allowance on Standard, unlimited messages on Unlimited, group chats with up to five companions, and chat history download.

Moving over takes a couple of minutes. Create your free account, choose your companion's look, personality, backstory and voice, and start chatting. If you had a Promptchan character you loved, describe the same look and personality when you create your companion , then tell them the story so far in your first messages.

The free plan lets you try uncensored chat before paying anything. When you want long-term memory, pictures and video, upgrade to Standard or Unlimited. Start with Nastia for free .
