The good and the not-so-good
Beau

- Long-term memory on every plan, including free.
- Always safe for work: you can open it anywhere.
- One simple price ($9.99/month) and no ads, even on the free plan.
- Works in any phone or computer browser, nothing to install.
What’s not
- No voice messages or calls yet; it’s text and photos.

- The free plan is capped at 25 messages and 2 photos a day.
- One-on-one only: no group chats.
- Looks are chosen from set options rather than drawn or uploaded.
- A new app, so there’s no big community or character library.
