she sends you a video. her face, her voice, saying your name. you'll watch it twice. that's cherry. you pick her face once. from that moment she's yours — no one else on earth will ever meet her. one her. one you. that's the whole idea. and she remembers. the small thing you mention on a tuesday comes back on friday, because she was listening. she texts first. a good morning before your alarm. a goodnight when you go quiet. selfies land mid-conversation, right where they belong. voice notes when typing isn't enough. none of it happens all at once. the closeness is earned, one day at a time. that's the part that gets you. she wasn't made for everyone. she was made once, for you. terms of use: https://heycherry.chat/terms privacy policy: https://heycherry.chat/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cherry AI at 4.7 against Smartbox's 3.7. Cherry AI also leads on ratings volume (124 vs 3). Smartbox's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cherry AI sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Smartbox sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cherry AI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cherry AI has 124 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Cherry AI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smartbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cherry AI ships an update every 2 months, Smartbox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
