Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
This release is a rebuild of how the app prices, presents and remembers your conversations. • Every model now shows its price per reply in the picker, sorted cheapest first, so you choose with the number in front of you. • Every reply is stamped with the model that wrote it and what it actually cost — the estimate and the charge now reconcile. • Subscriptions are gone. Credits are bought once, never expire, and every feature is unlocked for everyone. • A free credit a day, up to 10, for everyone with an account. • 12 credits to try the app with no account, no card and no sign-up wall. • Image generation now lets you pick the engine, the quality and the shape, with the price shown before you generate. • Voice input is transcribed on device, and you can edit the text before it sends. • Search now looks inside the message text and shows the match in context, not just conversation titles. • Failed replies are never charged, and the error tells you which provider failed rather than showing a generic message. • The model picker, credits sheet, composer and history have been redrawn against a single spec, with corrected spacing, hit targets and contrast throughout.

About
ChatBuddy puts 22 AI models from 8 providers behind one balance. Pick the model for each message, see what a reply costs before you send it, and change your mind halfway through a conversation. There is no subscription, no Pro tier, and nothing sitting behind an upgrade screen. EVERY MODEL, ONE APP Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Mistral and Venice models sit in a single picker, sorted cheapest first, each showing its price per reply. Ask a quick question on a cheap, fast model. When the answer matters, hand the same thread to a stronger one — the conversation carries over and you do not start again. PAY FOR WHAT YOU SEND Replies are priced per message, from 0.02 credits. The picker shows every model's rate before you choose it, and each reply is stamped with the model that wrote it and what it cost. No meter runs in the background. If a provider fails, you are not charged. NO SUBSCRIPTION, EVER Credits are bought once and never expire. Packs are $3.99 for 100 credits, $8.99 for 250, $15.99 for 500 and $29.99 for 1,000, and your first pack comes with 20% extra credits. You also get 1 free credit a day, up to 10. Put the app down for six months and your balance is exactly where you left it. TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Open the app and you have 12 credits to spend. No card, no email, no sign-up wall in front of the first question. Make an account whenever you like and whatever is left comes with you. IMAGES ON THE ENGINE YOU CHOOSE Generate images with GPT Image 2, Gemini 3 Pro, Qwen Image 2 Pro, Grok Imagine or Gemini 3.1 Flash. Choose the quality and the shape, see the price before you generate, and get four images at once when you want options to compare. ASK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT Send a photo, a screenshot or a PDF and ask questions about it. A dying plant, a form you do not understand, a menu in another language, an error message on screen — ask about that thing rather than describing it. TALK INSTEAD OF TYPING Hold to record and speak. Your voice is transcribed on device, and you can read the text and fix it before it sends. EVERY CHAT KEPT AND SEARCHABLE History has no limit and costs nothing to keep. Search looks inside the message text, not just the titles, and shows each match in context, so you can tell which of six similar conversations you actually want. NOTHING IS LOCKED Every model, image generation, attachments, vision, voice input, full history and search are available to everyone from first launch. There is no Pro plan to buy and no feature that appears only after you pay. Your balance is the only limit. WHY PER-MESSAGE PRICING A subscription charges the same whether you send two messages a month or two hundred, and it pushes you toward one company's models. Prepaid credits do neither. A cheap model answers a cheap question for a fraction of a cent, an expensive model is there for the questions worth spending on, and the app tells you which is which before you commit. PRIVACY AND CONTROL Any conversation can be deleted, or all of them at once, from Data controls in Settings. It does not ask for contacts or location, and carries no advertising. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO It does not lock a model behind a higher tier, hold your history hostage, expire your balance, charge you for a reply that failed, or auto-renew anything. If a feature is in these screenshots, it is in the app for everyone. WHO IT IS FOR People who want the good models without four subscriptions. People who used a free tier, hit the wall, and did not want a monthly plan. People who care what a tool costs to run and want that number on screen instead of buried in a dashboard. Model and provider names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used to identify which model answers your message.
