Privee AI

Privee AI stands out among the Character AI alternatives thanks to its user-friendly interface, the high quality of its chatbot, and the fact that it is the only platform that is actually paying its bot creators! They recently introduced an internal challenge for their creators thanks to which the creators of the most used chatbots can win prizes up to 250$ Amazon gift card!

Janitor AI

Price: Free but you have to pay for your external APIs Usage

Janitor AI provides users with a chatbot experience similar to Character.AI but disabling NSFW filters. This means you can access a wider range of content without any restrictions. You can create anime-style characters and have conversations with them. The platform is easy to use if you have time and willingness to deal with API Keys: this platform, in fact, does not offer a fully managed service, and users have to use their own API Keys (i.e. OpenAI’s). The platform is safe as the keys are stored locally, however some users reported to have been banned by OpenAI because of their activity on Janitor.ai. The site policy states clearly that the use of your API Key is completely at your own risk. Despite that they offer a huge number of chatbots, a simple UI and are definitely a good choice to get started with AI-Roleplaying.

Pros:

  • Edit, delete, or move any messages.
  • Chat with multiple characters simultaneously.
  • Have complete control over the chat experience.

Cons:

  • Dependent on external API.
  • Needs technical skills.

Venus Chub AI

Price: Free trial and paid options: 5$ or 20$ a month for superior models

Venus Chub is the direct alternative to Janitor AI. The interface and functionalities are almost the same, but the real plus is that it does not require its user to use their own API Keys.

Pros:

  • Easy interface
  • Lot of different characters available

Cons:

  • The quality of the conversations with the model included with the basic plan is quite low.

Silly Tavern AI

Free, but you’ll need to pay for APIs

Tavern AI is an AI generation platform where you can create text-based AI bots. It allows you to interact with the AI chatbots using text. You can also modify the chatbot’s personality and its traits. You can tailor the conversations just for you and make them more exciting. You can use Pygmalion with Tavern AI (Watch a setup guide video here if you want to try it). Tavern definitely is a great platform, but it requires some technical skills to be effectively installed and used. We do not recommend it if you are not familiar with tech stuff.

Pros:

  • Edit, delete, or move any messages.
  • Chat with multiple characters simultaneously.
  • Have complete control over the chat experience.

Cons:

  • Dependent on external API.
  • Needs some technical skills.

Crushon AI

Free trial + paid

If you’ve been looking for a filter-free alternative to Character.AI, then Crushon.AI could be the right choice. With Crushon.AI, you can bypass filters and chat about NSFW content directly – no need for Colab, installation, or backend setup. It’s an excellent choice for people that are less confident with tech stuff and just want to have fun. It offers 50 free messages per month or a subscription worth 6$ for 2.000 messages a month.

Pros:

  • Access to unrestricted content, including NSFW topics
  • Users can create and customize their own characters for a more personalized experience
  • User-friendly interface

Cons:

  • Limited AI chatbot library.
  • The free plan is limited.

Chai

Limited free messages Premium subscription costs $13.99 per month or $134.99 per year.

Chai AI App is one of the most known alternatives for Character.AI. It is a good substitute because it lacks NSFW censors. Because there are no limitations on what you may do, users remark that using the app is a lot of fun. This platform is only available via mobile, which could limit certain types of users that may find more comfortable to use their laptop to chat.

Pros:

  • Ability to create and manage custom bots.
  • Variety of bots.

Cons:

  • Limited features in the free version.
  • The quality of the response is not excellent.
