AI characters the editorial guide to character marketplaces and bespoke companions
Character marketplaces succeed or fail on three axes: catalogue depth, author-tool quality, and moderation consistency. The platforms below all scored above our editorial threshold across these axes, with no entry making the list on volume alone.
Every entry above was independently tested by our editorial team. The scoring rubric, including weighting between memory, persona, pricing, voice, and image dimensions, is published in full in our methodology document. Read the full methodology.
