RPDATE vs 
SPICYCHATSpicyChat sells memory by tier: on the free plan a character holds about 4,000 tokens, on the top plan 16,000. In RPDATE long memory is on from the first message and does not depend on your balance.
Their entry price is genuinely low — $5 a month. The question is what the character forgets at that price, and how much you end up paying once you want the memory, the images and the better model.
RPDATE writes the best dialogue of the lot: characters with a history, photos built from the scene, five modes instead of one window — and something new every week.

Long memory from the start against memory sold by tier, photos with no monthly cap, five modes instead of one. Their cheapest tier is lower than a first top-up in RPDATE, and the table says so.

Memory is the product. On the free tier a character remembers about 4,000 tokens, on the paid ones up to 16,000 — so the thing that makes a long story work is exactly what is being metered.

It is not always. At $5 a month you are buying access plus 4K–16K of memory depending on tier; in RPDATE $5 buys 500 messages with long memory included. Below roughly 500 messages a month RPDATE costs less, above it a flat subscription wins.
In SpicyChat the memory window is a tier feature. In RPDATE it is on by default, and there is a panel that shows what the character actually remembers about you, so you can see it rather than guess.
A photo is $0.05 and there is no monthly quota. SpicyChat keeps images on the paid tiers.
Six messages need no account and no card, then 20 more free ones after signing up.
Yes on both services. The difference is not permission, it is what happens over a long scene — memory, pace and whether the character stays in role.
Worlds with a persistent setting, a group scene where characters answer each other, novels and roulette.
Card through Stripe or crypto, from $1, with no recurring charge.
Age checks differ by platform and region. RPDATE asks for an 18+ confirmation and nothing else — no documents and no third-party service.
The first 6 messages need no account and no card. A profile only becomes necessary to keep the history and the memory.
No. The same model answers at any balance, and long memory is on from the first message rather than sold by tier.
