Real stories from former Second Life residents who made the switch.
"I was paying a fortune in tier fees on Second Life just to have a creative space. Alife gave me a sim from $10/mo start. It was an absolute no-brainer to switch."
- Alex R.
7-Year Second Life Creator
"The constant upload fees were killing my virtual business. Moving to Alife and having free, unlimited uploads has saved me thousands and let me focus on creating, not costs."
- Jenna M.
Virtual Fashion Designer
"I just wanted a private place to build with my friends without going broke. Alife's private islands from $10/mo is exactly what the metaverse needs. It's freedom, plain and simple."

Everything you need to know
A whole private island — not a demo. Move in today, keep it only if you love it.
Walk into a finished, professionally designed island with everything already in place. No building, no setup — just log in and live in it.
A clean, empty island of your own to build on — the same high quality hosting, with nothing in your way.
Both 7-day trials run on the same servers our paying customers use. No card or PayPal is needed to request a free trial — you must be logged in and choose an avatar. One free 7 days per sim type: you can try a premade sim and an empty sim, each once.
