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 call

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.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
