Real Residents, Real Reasons for Switching to Alife
"I was spending hundreds on IMVU just to upload my creations. On Alife, it's all free. I've uploaded more in two weeks here than I did in two years on IMVU. It's a no-brainer for any serious creator."
- MeshMaven
3D Content Creator
"The scripting on Alife is the real game-changer. I was constantly hitting a wall with IMVU's limited tools. Here, with full LSL support, I can finally build the interactive experiences I've always wanted to."
- CodeWizard
LSL Scripter & Experience Designer
"Getting private islands from $10/mo just for signing up? Unheard of. I left IMVU because I was tired of their restrictive policies and constant nickel-and-diming. Alife respects its users and their creativity."

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.
