I don't think so, unless you find dodgy sites that share stolen passwords or sites that have used stolen credit card details to buy a years sub and get it for dirt cheap.
You can kinda get close running locally just stacking different AI if you have 16gb vram or more
. Character builder / world builder / lore = use sillytavern
. Text chat ui + memory for character = sillytavern
. Find a roleplay model / NSFW roleplay = any uncensored/abliterated local model (qwen, dolphin, llama)
. Image gen = comfyUI + IP adapter, you can also do a lazy version and gen like 20 images of the same person different expressions and then link them to the character in sillytavern so it changes their avatar automatically as you talk to it and its mood changes. But you can also just straight up tell it to make you a image and it will, make changes to that image and it can.
. Voice talking, realtime talks (calls) = Their voice use like all talk, kokoro, piper, XTTS (you can clone voices and use them to build voices) use whisper or it to hear you
. Video gen / receiving clips. = comfyUI and a video model like wan or minimax. This is where you need the Vram the most
All these running and just running through silly tavern, you can ask a AI to set you up a .BAT file so you have a single button launcher. I would say everything above video gen is smooth on 12-16gb but to do video gen that’s the part where candy.ai probably wins.
Locally running image gen is better than candy.ai now, thats one I made using moss image on comfyui in like 15 seconds or less. The talking / roleplaying side of it can be better locally as well because you can build a world, your info / backstory, their history back story, likes dislikes, how strong they react to things all for free and offline so no privacy issues or worrying about data breaches.
