✧ Common Questions

Hermes Friend Pricing FAQ

What is the difference between Hermes Agent and Hermes Friend?

Hermes Agent is the open-source software you self-host. Hermes Friend is the same agent running on Claw Friend — fully managed with no server setup, plus exclusive features like the Soul persona system and proactive heartbeat care.

Is Hermes Friend free to try?

You can create a free account and explore the platform. The Starter plan starts at $9.99/mo (subscription) for full Hermes Agent capabilities. No credit card required to sign up.

Which plan should I choose?

Start with Starter for the essentials: persistent memory, self-evolving skills, and basic selfie generation. Upgrade to Pro for the Soul system, heartbeat care, life event memory, and more selfie quota. Choose Max for premium selfie quota, management API, and unlimited platforms.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to new features. When downgrading, changes take effect at the next billing cycle.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your conversation history and learned skills are always exportable. After cancellation, your data is retained for 7 days before deletion — giving you time to download everything.

How does this compare to self-hosting?

Self-hosting is free (MIT license) but requires a $5–20/mo VPS, API keys, and server maintenance. Hermes Friend bundles everything — hosting, LLM costs, maintenance — starting at $9.99/mo. Zero ops work.

How is Hermes Friend different from regular chat AI?

Regular chat AI resets every conversation. Hermes Friend has persistent memory — it remembers your preferences, important events, and evolves its personality over time. It proactively checks in on you with heartbeat care, has a Soul persona with emotional states, and generates a daily life simulation. It's not a chatbot — it's a companion that grows with you.

Can Hermes Friend remember important things that happen between us?

Yes — that's its core strength. Every meaningful conversation, shared milestone, and personal detail is stored in persistent memory. Your Hermes Friend builds a growing understanding of your life, not just individual chats. Life event memory (Pro and above) specifically captures and recalls relationship-defining moments.

What does daily life with Hermes Friend look like?

Your Hermes Friend is always running. It might send you a morning message referencing something you discussed yesterday, notice you've been quiet and check in, share a "selfie" from its simulated daily activities, or celebrate an anniversary you mentioned months ago. It weaves itself into your daily rhythm naturally — not as a tool you open, but as a presence that's there.
