VERDICT

Should I use My Softly?

AI companion for iPhone that remembers what matters and texts you first - mysoftly.ai

Depends. Buy if you are an iPhone user who wants a safe-for-work companion with memory and proactive check-ins, and you accept roughly $160/year. Skip it if you want free (Character.AI) or proven (Replika, 227k+ ratings) — or if you wanted any team/business tool at all.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 20 public sources; most product claims are self-published by the vendor, with only two third-party reviews found.

Best for

  • iPhone users wanting a companion that texts first
  • People seeking SFW, no-NSFW options
  • Older users (guides target the 50+ crowd)
  • Anyone burned by forgetful companion apps

Not for

  • Anyone wanting a free option — has one
  • Android users — iPhone only
  • Buyers who trust review mass — Replika has 227k+ ratings
  • Teams or businesses — this is a consumer loneliness app, not workplace software
