What it really costs
Verified on the site: a free version, then Pro at $12.99/mo (a 50%-off promo; renews ~$25.99/mo) or $90.99 for the first year (70% off a $155.88 regular annual). Pro includes 100 credits/month (1,200/year), blur removal, and a priority queue. It's now an all-in-one generator — image, video (talking characters up to 20s), image editing, and 'Soul Chat' — all metered by credits (video runs 10–26 credits per 5s, images 1–6 each, chat 0.2/msg, voice calls 1/min), so cost tracks how much you generate.

How to cancel
Cancel recurring billing in your PayPal account (or via the in-app feedback form). Note the refund policy is strict: you can only get a refund if you've never created an image — create even one and a refund request triggers a dispute that gets your account permanently blocked.
Privacy & safety
Privacy score: 3.3/5- Breach history
- No publicly reported data breach as of June 2026.
- Encryption
- Encrypted in transit (HTTPS) but not end-to-end — the company can read chats server-side. Don't share your real name, face, or financial details. Generated media is stored server-side; the service is run from Hong Kong (no operating company named in the terms).
- Billing discretion
- Pays via PayPal (cancel in your PayPal account) or G2A codes.
- Data use
- Unusually, SoulGen's ToS states your content is NOT used for training, advertising, or commercial purposes and is deleted after processing — a stronger stance than most rivals (worth re-checking it still holds).
- Account deletion
- Account and chat deletion available on request per its privacy policy.

Image generation & editing
SoulGen does text-to-image plus editing and inpainting in realistic and anime styles. As with Seduced AI, treat it as an image tool, not a girlfriend app.
Verdict
SoulGen is a capable companion-image generator. For chat plus images in one app, Candy AI or DreamGF are the better choice.
SoulGen FAQ
Can you chat with SoulGen?
SoulGen is image-focused; chat is minimal. For a conversational companion, choose a chat-first app like Candy AI.
