2
Janitor AI

Free and uncensored, but you bring your own API key and it gets unstable at peak times.

› 3
Candy AI

Polished and image-focused, but paid, and leans companion over open roleplay.

› 4
CrushOn AI

Uncensored roleplay, but a heavy paywall and slower replies once the free messages run out.

› 5
SpicyChat

Big character library with NSFW, but the free tier is limited and heavier use is paywalled.

› 6
Chub AI

A deep character-card library, but it's technical and expects you to bring your own model.

› 7
Chai

Easy mobile app, but tight free message caps and weaker model quality.

› 8
Replika

Friendly companion, but romance is paywalled and it's not built for open roleplay.

› 9
SillyTavern

Extremely powerful, but you self-host it and wire up your own API — not for casual users.
