The short version

  • Only Replika has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ExpressVPN the App Store listing (seller Expressco Services, LLC) states subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period, and that any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited on purchase; Replika the App Store listing confirms Replika (Luka, Inc.) is free to download with core messaging available at no cost, but premium features are gated behind in-app purchases with no price figures disclosed in the listing.
  • They diverge on capability: ExpressVPN covers Lightway protocol, Replika covers Conversational AI.
