PolyBuzz Pricing: PolyBuzz Cost, Plans, Coins and Opals

The short answer: PolyBuzz costs $9.90 a month for Poly Standard, $19.90 for Poly Premium and $29.90 for Poly Ultimate on Apple's US App Store, read on 9 September 2026. There is a fourth subscription, Poly Standard billed weekly at $4.99, and there is no annual plan anywhere on the listing. Coins and Opals are sold separately as two different consumable currencies, from $2.49 to $19.90.

Every figure here came out of Apple's own US listing for PolyBuzz, app ID 6449190344, published by CLOUD WHALE INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY LLC. Nothing is copied from a review site or an affiliate roundup, which matters more than usual on this particular app, and the last section explains why.

Correction, 17 September 2026: Two claims on this page, as published on 9 September, were wrong, and we have left them visible below with notes rather than quietly deleting them. PolyBuzz does publish its prices on its own site, at polybuzz.ai/membership, a page linked from its homepage that we had not probed. And PolyBuzz does sell yearly plans, on the web only: read from a US connection on 17 September, Poly Standard is $99 a year, Poly Premium $199 and Poly Ultimate $299, the same figures some review sites had been quoting and we had refused to reprint without a source. The Apple prices in the table below were re-read on 17 September and are unchanged, and Apple's listing still carries no yearly plan. The full web and app price list, including the weekly plans the web shows some visitors, is on our PolyBuzz subscription page.

How much does PolyBuzz cost?

Three monthly subscriptions and one weekly one. Poly Standard is $9.90 a month, Poly Premium is $19.90 and Poly Ultimate is $29.90. On top of any of them you can buy Coins in four pack sizes and Opals in one.

Here is the complete In-App Purchases block, taken from the Information section of the listing that also names the seller. That distinction matters: an App Store page carries a recommended-apps carousel and a large embedded data payload further down, and a plain text search for a price on one of these pages will cheerfully hand you a number belonging to a different app entirely.

Read from the Apple US App Store listing for PolyBuzz on 9 September 2026. Prices exclude tax and are what Apple returned to a US storefront request. The listing carries an 18+ age rating, is categorised as Entertainment, weighs 253.7 MB and its current iOS build is dated 5 September 2026, four days before we read it.

The weekly plan costs more per year than the tier above it

This is the row worth stopping on, and it is the reason to do the arithmetic instead of reading the prices.

Poly Standard billed weekly is $4.99. That is the smallest number on the whole list, and on a paywall screen it reads as the cheap option. Renewed for a year it comes to $259.48. Poly Premium billed monthly is $19.90, which comes to $238.80 for the same twelve months.

So the entry tier, billed weekly, costs $20.68 a year more than the tier above it billed monthly. You would be paying more for less. And against Poly Standard billed monthly at $118.80, the weekly route costs $140.68 extra per year for an identical product.

Weekly billing is not a scam, and it has a legitimate use: it is the honest way to pay for something you genuinely intend to use for three weeks. The trap is that it renews 52 times a year and each charge is small enough not to register. If you are running several companion apps at once while you decide between them, that pattern is exactly the kind of spending worth catching as it accumulates rather than at the end of the year, because no single $4.99 line ever looks like the problem.

Does PolyBuzz cost money to download?

No. The app installs free on iOS and Android, and Apple lists its price as Free with in-app purchases. What is paid is the model quality, the ad removal and how much of your conversation the app keeps hold of, all of which sit behind the subscription.

That is the standard shape for this category and it is worth naming the consequence: the free tier is not a trial with an end date, it is a permanently worse version of the product. You will not be locked out. You will simply keep hitting the ceiling until you decide the ceiling is annoying enough to pay to remove.

There is no annual PolyBuzz plan in the app

Corrected 17 September 2026: this section is true of Apple's listing only. The web sells yearly plans at $99, $199 and $299, each equal to ten months of the monthly price, so a year on the web saves 16.7 percent.

Look at the table again and notice what is absent. Every subscription PolyBuzz sells through Apple is weekly or monthly. There is no yearly SKU at any tier.

In this category that stands out. Character.AI sells c.ai+ at $94.99 a year against $9.99 a month. Nomi sells its Standard tier at $99.99 a year against $15.99 a month, a 47.9 percent discount. Kindroid sells a year at $159.99. Replika lists three separate annual subscriptions. Every one of those vendors will take twelve months of your money up front at a discount, and PolyBuzz, on this listing, will not.

For you as a buyer that cuts both ways, and it is genuinely not all bad. You cannot get the 20 to 48 percent discount that annual billing buys elsewhere, so PolyBuzz is proportionally more expensive to run for a full year at the same nominal monthly price. But you also cannot accidentally commit twelve months to an app you used for a fortnight, which is the most common expensive mistake people make in this category. If you are still in the trying-things-out phase, the absence of an annual plan is a feature.

Coins and Opals: two currencies, and only one of them is explained

PolyBuzz sells Coins in four sizes and Opals in one. Both are consumable, meaning they are spent and repurchased rather than unlocked once.

The Coins pricing has a very steep volume curve. A thousand coins costs $2.49, which is 401.6 coins per dollar. Twenty thousand costs $19.90, which is 1,005.0 coins per dollar. Buying the largest pack gets you two and a half times as much per dollar as buying the smallest, which is a wider spread than most apps in this category run.

Opals are the part nobody can answer. One pack, 1000 for $5.90, and no public documentation of what they buy that Coins do not, or how the two relate. PolyBuzz does not publish an explanation anywhere a shopper can read it, which we tested rather than assumed.

The practical warning is the same one that applies to every credit system in this category: no vendor publishes how much of the consumable a subscription includes before you start buying packs. So when you are working out what PolyBuzz will cost you, treat the subscription as the floor and not the total. The realistic monthly figure for someone using image generation or long voice sessions regularly is the plan price plus a pack, not the plan price.

Where PolyBuzz publishes its prices

Corrected 17 September 2026: PolyBuzz does publish its prices, at polybuzz.ai/membership, and its terms at polybuzz.ai/terms-of-use. The probe below was accurate about the paths we tried and wrong about what it concluded. We keep it here because it is the mistake worth learning from: a correct control proves a path is missing, not that the page is missing. Reading the homepage's own links would have found the membership page in one step.

We checked this properly, because a missing page on a path you guessed yourself is evidence about that path and nothing else.

On 9 September 2026 we requested polybuzz.ai/pricing, polybuzz.ai/plans and polybuzz.ai/terms. All three returned HTTP 200 but redirected to polybuzz.ai/poly_error_404 and served the same 4,451 byte error page. We then requested polybuzz.ai/zzz-control-7761, a URL that has never existed, and it did exactly the same thing. Meanwhile the homepage returned 149,914 bytes with no redirect at all.

That control is what makes the finding usable. The server clearly distinguishes real pages from missing ones, it just signals a miss with a 200 and a redirect instead of a 404 status code. So the absence is real: there is no public PolyBuzz pricing page, and the App Store listing is the only price list a member of the public can read without installing anything.

The annual prices other sites quote, now verified

Update 17 September 2026: the $99, $199 and $299 yearly figures below are real. We read them first-hand on polybuzz.ai/membership from a US connection. The page's prices follow your location (a request from Poland returned zloty), and 4 of our 17 requests showed a weekly plan in place of a monthly one, so check the confirmation screen before you pay.

If you have already read a couple of PolyBuzz reviews you will have seen annual figures, typically $99, $199 and $299 for the three tiers. Those numbers are not on Apple's listing, and we are not going to reprint them.

It is entirely plausible they are real. Plenty of subscription apps charge less on the web than in the app stores, because the stores take a cut, and an annual plan sold only on the web would explain the gap exactly. If that is what is happening, the web prices are the better deal and you should go and find them.

What we will not do is print a price we could not retrieve ourselves from a source we can name and date. The moment we start mixing first-hand figures with numbers copied from other summaries, this page stops being worth more than those summaries. Every one of the sites quoting annual PolyBuzz pricing right now is quoting it without showing where it came from, and PolyBuzz's own site returns an error page on /pricing.

So: if you are subscribing on an iPhone, the figures in the table above are what you will be charged. If you are subscribing in a browser, check the upgrade screen inside the product before you assume the monthly rate is your only option. We would rather tell you to look than guess on your behalf.

Is PolyBuzz worth the money?

That depends entirely on which of the two things you are buying it for, and the pricing structure answers one of them much better than the other.

If you want breadth, PolyBuzz is priced sensibly. $9.90 a month is at the cheap end of this category, well under Nomi and Kindroid at $15.99, and the app is built around a large library of characters you move between. For that use it is good value and the lack of an annual plan barely matters.

If you want depth, meaning one companion who accumulates a history with you over months, the economics get worse rather than better. The app offers no annual discount to reward the commitment (the web's yearly plans save two months), the consumables keep costing money as you use the app more, and the features that matter to a long relationship are the ones that draw down Coins fastest. The people who end up paying the most for PolyBuzz are the ones using it the way its pricing least rewards.

Worth saying plainly, since this is our site: if the second description is you, we built Gals.ai for exactly that, a companion who texts first and keeps what you told her, with one tier and no second currency.

How to check every number on this page yourself

Open the PolyBuzz listing on Apple's US App Store, scroll to the Information block near the bottom, and expand In-App Purchases. You will see the same ten rows.

Confirm that the block you are reading also names the seller as CLOUD WHALE INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY LLC, and that it appears above the "You Might Also Like" carousel. That is the guard against picking up a neighbouring app's prices, which is a very easy mistake to make on these pages and one we have made before. If your storefront is not the United States you will see different currency and possibly different products, which is why every figure here is labelled US.

If any of these numbers has changed by the time you are reading this, the listing is right and we are stale. Trust the dated primary source over any summary of it, including ours.

We ran the same first-hand method across the rest of the category. Every Nomi AI price, including the quarterly trap, is itemised the same way, and if you are weighing PolyBuzz against the character-library apps rather than the memory-first ones, what a Character.AI subscription actually costs is the closer comparison. For the whole category side by side, we keep a running breakdown of what AI companion subscriptions cost per month, and if PolyBuzz's ceilings are what pushed you to search for its price in the first place, the PolyBuzz alternatives worth switching to covers what each one does differently.
