Kindroid publishes the most detail about how its memory works. Its docs describe five systems: persistent fields such as backstory and key memories, chat history, a Cascaded Memory layer for subscribers that reaches back hundreds or thousands of messages, long term memory and journal entries. On top of that you get real-time voice calls, live video calls with lip sync and screen sharing, proactive messages and calls, selfies, Rooms with friends and calendar integration. The catch is price. There is no ongoing free plan: new accounts get a 50-message preview, then must start a 3-day trial or subscribe, or the account becomes read-only. The US App Store lists the subscription at $15.99 per month or $159.99 per year, with Ultra at $28.99 and MAX at $68.99 per month as add-ons for more context. Kindroid says web checkout is usually cheaper, but web prices only show at checkout.
