Try Lucy OS1 →Siri and Alexa are free because they are funded by hardware sales and advertising. Lucy OS1's free tier is funded by users who choose to pay for higher usage. This means the free tier of Lucy OS1 is genuinely useful, not stripped down to push you toward payment.
The free tier includes full access to voice conversation, persistent memory, Google Calendar integration, and the Cartesia Sonic voice engine. Usage is capped at a monthly limit. The cap is generous enough for daily use by most users. All core features are available on the free tier, not just a preview.
The paid Pro plan ($29 per month) removes the monthly usage cap and adds priority response times. The free tier and paid tier use identical AI, identical memory systems, and identical voice quality. The only difference is the monthly usage limit.
Memory, voice, and calendar integration are all available on the free tier. No features are locked behind payment.
Start immediately with no payment information. Upgrade only if you want to remove the monthly usage cap.
Your memory persists indefinitely on the free tier. There is no time limit on how long Lucy remembers your conversations.
Lucy OS1 is free to start. No credit card required. Open it in your browser on any device and begin a real voice conversation immediately.
