User Reviews

NPC For Hire shines with its rich NPC art, quick generation, and solid organization tools, making it a strong DM companion. Reviewers repeatedly praise the portraits, the ability to save and describe characters, and the option to upload personal artwork. The main drawbacks are pricing and content access (packs can be pricey and some assets fail to download), limited race variety behind paywalls, and occasional concerns about update cadence or pricing policy changes. Overall, the app is compelling for DM use, especially for those who value visuals and quick NPC creation.

Pros

High-quality NPC portraits and artwork that visually inspire creativity.
Large library of pre-made NPC packs with useful variety, offered at reasonable prices.
Fast, easy NPC creation with randomization and auto-generated story prompts.
Robust NPC management: save, organize, and describe NPCs, with the ability to save custom NPCs.
Support for customization via uploading and reusing own images/artwork.

Cons

Pricing and monetization can feel expensive; many packs require additional purchases for customization.
Purchased packs and assets sometimes fail to download or become inaccessible.
Races and NPC variety are limited unless you buy more packs; many races are locked behind content.
Update cadence and changes to pricing/policy have caused frustration or confusion for some users.

As a brand new D&D player AND a brand new DM, this app has been invaluable to my character creation. I have been able to make a couple dozen NPCs for my starting town already, and I swear I could do this all day. I ended up buying all the character packs. They’re so reasonably priced and add so much to this! The only thing I would prefer is maybe more details like race for each NPC, or basic stats you could randomly roll for and add. And a landscape orientation! I like using my iPad, and it’s weird for me to put it in portrait mode and use my keyboard at the same time. But none of these are complaints, just suggestions. This is a great app to have!!

I love this app dearly, but it needs new packs! Haven’t seen an update in years!

This app can really help you create some amazing NPCs. Especially once you unlock the paid features. The only problem I can see is that I cannot export the info as a pdf or export it at all really. Just a simple image can be saved.
