SpiceMatch has a real free tier. You get 10 chats a day with no card required, and matching is free and unlimited on top of that. You can use the app, talk to companions, and decide whether it is for you before you spend a cent. This page lays out exactly what free gets you and where the paid line is.

What free includes

On the free tier you can:

  • Match with as many companions as you want. Swiping and matching never cost anything.
  • Send 10 chat messages a day, across all your companions combined or to one, your choice.
  • Use memory. Your companions remember your past conversations on the free tier too.
  • Browse the full roster of 100+ characters and the vibe and interest hubs.

No card goes on file to do any of this. You confirm you are 18 or older at sign-up, and that is it.

What free does not include

The free tier is for chatting, not for media. So free does not include:

  • Photos. Images cost 15 credits each.
  • Video. Video costs 50 credits each.
  • More than 10 chats a day. Once you hit the daily cap, you wait for the reset or upgrade.
  • Locked posts and premium moments, which unlock with credits.

How the daily chat count works

You get 10 messages per day. The counter resets on its own each day, so tomorrow you have 10 again. The count is for messages you send, not for replies you receive. If you want to keep a long conversation going past 10 messages, that is when a plan starts to make sense.

When you would upgrade

People usually upgrade for one of two reasons. Either 10 chats a day is not enough and they want to talk more, or they want photos and video. There are two ways to pay for that:

  • Credits are a one-time purchase you spend on unlocks. A pack sits in your account and you spend it on images and video as you go.
  • Subscriptions are recurring. A per-character plan is $2.99 a month for one companion. Platform plans are Starter+ at $4.99, Spice+ at $12.99, and VIP at $29.99 a month, each raising your chat limits and including credits.

You always see the exact price at checkout before you confirm. Nothing charges automatically just because you ran out of free chats.

Is there a catch?

No card, no trial timer, no surprise charge. The free tier exists so you can test the thing that actually matters, whether a companion talks the way you want and remembers what you tell her, before deciding to pay. If you never upgrade, you can keep using the 10 free chats a day indefinitely.
