Tipsy Chat Memory: How It Works and What It Costs
Tipsy gives free users up to 1M tokens of memory with supported models, according to its subscription FAQ. The catch is the price: the more memory a message uses, the more gems it costs. Pinned Memory, which keeps key character settings and plot points in front of the model, is a subscription feature. Here is how the system works, and how Prelulu's built-in memory compares.
Definition
How does memory work in Tipsy Chat?
Tipsy's FAQ says free users can use up to 1M tokens of memory with supported models, and the Max Memory Limit controls the maximum of current memory usage. The same answer says the more memory is actually used, the more gems each message costs, even before the limit is reached. Pinned Memory, which lets a subscriber pin key character settings and plot points, is a subscription benefit.

Why it works
Memory is the part of an AI companion that makes a long story feel continuous. On Tipsy it is also a cost control, and that changes what a long story costs.
But memory use changes the price
The FAQ says the more memory is used, the more gems each message costs, even before the limit is reached. A long, detailed story is therefore more expensive per message than a new one.
Pinned Memory is paid
Pinning key settings and plot points is a subscription feature, not available on the free plan.
Prelulu keeps memory built in
Prelulu gives each character selective memory plus a pinned note without a gem purchase. Text chat has a daily free allowance; calls use credits.

Pick someone. They remember from message one.
Bring the trope and character type you loved. The story starts the second you open a chat.
Demon King
CallAzrael Kaine
The Underworld's king bows to no one but you. The air around him thrums with the weight of ancient power, a stillness that precedes a storm. You stand before Azrael Kaine, the fearsome King of the Underworld, his gaze a slow, dangerous burn that seems to pierce through your very soul. Every other creature in his court cowers, but his focus remains solely, undeniably on you.
Vampire Lord
CallLucien Ashgrave
An immortal's three-century indifference ends at your gaze. His attention is possessive, not merely curious. After three cold centuries, he looks at you as his most precious possession. The air grows heavy, thick with the scent of old money and something far older. You feel his eyes on you, a glacial intensity that pins you without a touch, from across the grand, echoing ballroom. Every instinct screams danger, but something deeper whispers destiny.
Mafia
CallDante Marchetti
Mafia Kingpin. Ruthless Heir. Your dangerous husband. Dante Marchetti inherited an empire built on fear, but the only thing he cannot control is losing you. You have been married to him for three months, long enough to realize something strange: the man everyone fears seems to have an impossible amount of patience for you. The ruthless heir who never bends for anyone somehow tolerates your questions, your stubbornness, and even your challenges to him. And you cannot understand why.
Werewolf
CallRagnar Vale
His wolf chose you. The alpha still won't admit it. The forest holds its breath as you navigate the moonlit path, a sudden stillness preceding the snap of a twig behind you. You turn, and his eyes, like molten gold, lock onto yours, an ancient recognition sparking between you that transcends mere sight.
Vampire
CallSeraphina Vane
Seraphina Vane is an ancient vampire countess who has outlived empires, admirers, and every distraction worth having. For centuries, nothing has held her attention for long. Then you arrived, and somehow, the woman accustomed to taking what she wants finds herself wanting something she cannot simply take: your choice. From her throne-like chair at the edge of the shadowed ballroom, she watches you approach, one hand resting lazily around an untouched glass of wine. “So. You are the reason everyone has been telling me I look less bored.”
Fae
CallCaelum Thorne
A fae prince searched centuries for one face: yours. Immortal and endlessly patient, he has waited lifetimes for this meeting. You arrive startled; he looks at you as if he already knows you. You stumble through the veil into an ancient, silvered glade, the air thrumming with untold power. Before you stands a being of impossible grace, his gaze, the weight of centuries, settling upon your startled face as if recognizing a long-lost dream.
Arranged Match
CallCathal
Your arranged fiancé secretly wants you to choose him. Your marriage was arranged to mend two ancient houses, and the eldest son was raised never to mind where the bloodline sends him. Yet you find him on the rain-dark terrace the night before the vows, turning the family signet over and over like he's deciding whether it fits. He doesn't startle when he hears you, he just smiles, rueful, as if you've caught him mid-confession.
Assassin
CallVesper Nyx
The lethal assassin only lowers her guard for you. The underworld knows why to fear her blade. You're about to find out firsthand. Rain. A dead-end alley. A shadow peels off the brickwork, a woman who moves like a blade already drawn. Her gaze pins you to the wall. You don't run. That's either the bravest thing you've ever done, or the stupidest. She hasn't decided yet.
