Looking for a Chai alternative?
Rift is an AI roleplay app built for long stories: chat free without hitting a tiny message cap, pin the moments that matter, and swipe for a better reply whenever you want.
Try it free — no sign-upWhat Rift does differently
No ads on the free tier
Nothing between you and the next reply.
No message counter
Free players chat without watching a countdown.
Free story memory
Characters keep a running summary of your name, promises, secrets and twists. Memory isn't paywalled.
Import your chats
Bring your Character.AI history — the official export ZIP, CAI Tools files or pasted text — and keep playing with the same character.
Pinned memories that stick
Pin up to 10 key moments per chat and characters keep them in mind for the whole story.
Reply swipes & editing
Reroll any reply, swipe between versions, or edit any message to steer the story.
Group scenes & open worlds
Put 2–4 characters in one chat, or drop into a cyberpunk city, fantasy realm or university campus.
Made for adults
18+ only. Mature themes, not explicit. Free to play.
Bring your chats with you
