Talkie is a free character app with voices, gifts and collectible extras, run by a Singapore company. It accepts users from 16, so it is designed to stay family-friendly. Adults who outgrow it usually want either an app built for grown-ups or a companion with more memory.

Talkie is operated by SUBSUP PTE. LTD. in Singapore; in the US App Store it now appears as “Talkie Lab - AI Playground”. Talkie+ costs $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and Talkie+ Pro $24.99 a month (checked October 8, 2026). Gems and gift packs are sold on top.
Its terms allow users from 16 with a parent’s permission and prohibit pornographic content. That suits a general audience, but it means romance stays mild and some topics end in refusals.

Video: Talkie and its alternatives, from an independent creator
“Talkie AI Google Play Store App was Suspended | Alternatives to Talkie Soulful Android AI”, by webvator, published May 2, 2026 (3 min 11 s). An independent creator with no link to this site; opinions and scores in the video are the creator’s own. Playing it loads YouTube.
The creator says the Talkie Android app was pulled from Google Play in 2026 and suggests other character apps, spending most of the video on content-rating levels (PG, PG-13 and a looser option on the website). We have not verified the Google Play status; on October 8, 2026, Talkie was listed on the US App Store as “Talkie Lab”.
Key moments in the video
0:02Why the video exists: according to the creator, Talkie was suspended on Google Play.
0:44First suggestion: an app whose content level can be adjusted in the settings.
1:15PG mode keeps chats clean: no profanity and no adult topics.
2:00PG-13 allows mild romance and mature themes but still stops before explicit content.
2:47The last suggestion is Replika, also on this page.
Safe-for-work or adults-only?
Talkie users split into two groups. Some want the same light experience with more depth: Character.AI and Replika fit, both filtered. Others want adult conversations, and should look at apps that require users to be 18+ and allow explicit content, such as Nomi, SpicyChat or Candy AI.
