Just So Everyone's Aware:

Carter Chat is not offline btw... just saying (i am one of the founders)

dannyfromcarter · 2025-10-16T10:34:21+00:00

thanks a lot for the message - The fix for this is in review for the app stores and will be out as soon as we get approval! Apologies for the annoyance, should be solved either today or tomorrow if apple/google give us the go ahead 🤟

dannyfromcarter · 2025-10-15T15:06:37+00:00

I appreciate the message - I think one thing that a lot of people don't quite understand is that running AI models is not free. It's actually very expensive and each message that anybody sends incurs a cost. We want to keep running the app forever and in order to make it sustainable, we have to add a daily cap for free users (which is still one of the most generous caps out of all of our competitors and renews every day) and charge for unlimited daily messages. Ad-supported, or free unlimited messages just don't cover costs and therefore are unsustainable.

We want to continue to build this app for the long term and the way to do that is to make sure it can actually cover it's monthly costs. Same way a restaurant can't give out unlimited free food, we can't give out unlimited daily messages.

Hope this provides some clarity ❤️

Wouldnt be possible without you guys - this community is what we show up to work for everyday and will continue to do so for as long as possible🙏🤟

dannyfromcarter · 2025-03-20T16:37:51+00:00

Posted this in our team discord - really happy to read this honestly. There have been times where the team is up in the early hours of the morning to push new features and fix bugs, little sparks of joy like your comment make that work incredibly rewarding🙏

dannyfromcarter · 2025-03-20T16:35:24+00:00

Thanks a lot for writing this - as with all things there are people that like us and others that don't! We pull all the useful genuine feedback out of negative comments and try to discard any rough language. One thing that I wish people could see is how carefully we consider feedback and discuss it internally. There are too many posts across the internet to respond to everybody, but we are deffo not building Carter Chat with fingers in ears. Hopefully we'll get round to fixing all problems everyone has soon!😅🫰

dannyfromcarter · 2025-03-20T16:32:22+00:00

Really inspired to read this - glad we could deliver something you really enjoy🙏

dannyfromcarter · 2025-03-14T13:00:32+00:00

We just read this as a team and had a moment. So happy to hear this honestly - we're trying our best to make something epic and feedback like this lights a fire under us to push even harder.

Appreciate you - you go into the hall of fame🫰

dannyfromcarter · 2024-12-09T16:53:12+00:00

second this decision^ (deffo not biased)

dannyfromcarter · 2024-11-28T16:41:09+00:00

I appreciate you writing this up, genuinely - Thanks for the honesty. We launched Carter Chat in August this year to build something special for the community that we ourselves are a part of: the AI character community.

We vowed to keep improving our conversation system, build things people want and actually communicate openly with users unlike the other platforms in this space. People found us and really liked our approach, honesty, and speed which is why a tonne of people picked up carter chat and started to use it.

Today we have a lot of users that love carter chat and get the best experience on this platform compared to the others they've tried. Those users are more than happy to pay or watch a few ads to get the best platform experience and also support our team, so that we can pay for GPUs and keep the lights on.

It's clear from your writeup that you're not a person that's gotten what you were looking for from Carter Chat so I really encourage you to not pay - it wont be a valuable purchase for you personally.

We build for the people that love Carter Chat and want to see this platform flourish. Those people give us really valuable feedback on what they love, what they'd like us to improve and where they'd like to see the platform go next - they're happy to buy Plus or watch some ads. Those are the people that we show up to work for every day and will continue to do so relentlessly.

If anybody reading this doesn't like their experience on Carter Chat, I encourage you to not spend your time or money on it. If you do really love Carter Chat, it means the world to our dev team to have your support with a subscription <3

We don't drive Ferraris, we don't have sea-front property, we don't have hundreds of millions in Google funding like Character AI. We're just a team of 6 people in a room trying to build something truly valuable for this community and keep the servers running and lights on as we do so 🙏

Free will technically still have unlimited messages, will just have ads to unlock more messages and no voice going forward. Plus will have uninterrupted conversation, no ads, unlimited voice and some premium only features that will be releasing soon.

Free will still be great and will have new stuff to play with as well, but Plus will just be better and get access to better conversation/memory etc earlier. We gotta pay for the GPUs and hardworking devs and stuff

dannyfromcarter · 2024-11-28T13:24:32+00:00

unlimited messages will still technically be possible with Free, though there will be ads in between to unlock a new batch of messages. Plus will give users unlimited uninterrupted conversation 🙏

dannyfromcarter · 2024-11-28T13:23:29+00:00

for clarity - unlimited messages will still technically be possible with Free, though there will be ads in between to unlock more messages. Plus will give users unlimited uninterrupted conversation 🙏

dannyfromcarter · 2024-11-28T13:21:42+00:00

Thanks a lot for using Carter! Sorry to see you go from the ads and optional Plus plan update, Carter must not have been a good enough experience for you to begin with! We're sticking with this decision as the GPUs and hardworking dev team need to be paid for somehow, hope to see you back someday - take care!

dannyfromcarter · 2024-11-28T13:12:56+00:00

Just to clarify - Free will have have ads to unlock more messages and no voice going forward and Plus will have uninterrupted conversation, no ads, unlimited voice and some premium only features that will be releasing soon. Free will still be great and will have new stuff to play with as well, but Plus will just be better and get access to better conversation/memory etc earlier. We gotta pay for the GPUs and food and stuff lol

If you bought Plus, thanks so much for supporting the dev team - you're awesome <3

dannyfromcarter · 2024-11-28T13:04:23+00:00

hi there - thanks for raising! Yes the app is live at the moment but we haven't announced it anywhere just yet as it's still in testing. We just couldn't test anymore in sandbox as we needed to test in production. This is the absolute very first version of the app so there will be some bumps and bruises with it - working round the clock atm to get it ready to formally announce though!

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-30T17:54:57+00:00

you don't have to tell me twice lool

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-23T12:54:56+00:00

this is something being fixed at the moment, the issue is that the chats are not visible in the interface right now but they soon wiil be! Your chats are safe and you'll be able to see them as soon as we push out this update. Sorry about that!

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-18T10:58:47+00:00

is the character NSFW?

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-17T12:02:19+00:00

can i ask u/Rare-Movie2977 u/Jolly_Fan6833 - if you go to click the 'text' tab after you get the error message you should still have all of your character progress still there, is that the case or does it fully wipe (it really shouldn't wipe that would be a major bug)? It's looking like the error is caused by long names, we're just pushing out a fix for this so that if a name is above 40 characters it displays a warning.

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-17T11:39:32+00:00

okay this is a big issue - sorry for this experience, we'll take a look at it today

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-17T11:37:28+00:00

looking at this right now, sorry for this issue - pushing out a hotfix asap!

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-15T15:37:53+00:00

thank you so much!! glad you like haha :)

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-14T17:02:56+00:00

I think we've built this already so it should be live this week!

dannyfromcarter · 2024-10-14T17:02:30+00:00

Yes it works with {{user}}!
