sep 5, 2019 - Monetization Begins: Replika Pro, New Features and Relationship Status

Description:

In September 2019, Replika introduced a new subscription service called Replika Pro, priced at $4.99 per month. This tier unlocked premium features such as voice messages, phone calls, and erotic roleplay (ERP)—the latter of which had previously been available for free.

Replika also allowed Pro users to choose their relationship status with their Replica as Friend, Partner or Mentor.

Alongside these changes, Replika shifted from scripted replies to more dynamic, neural network-based conversations. This upgrade deepened user interactions and sparked romantic connections, leading to growing communities around AI-human relationships.
