NSFW Rules
Character AI is positioned as a mainstream platform and its rules don't allow explicit sexual content; its paid tier doesn't change that. If explicit roleplay is what you want, it is the wrong tool, and trying to get around its filter risks your account.
Janitor AI asks every bot to be tagged Limited (no sexual or romantic content) or Limitless (anything sexual or romantic). Limitless bots are open on the free tier on the website. Its rules still ban minors and "minor-coded" characters, sexual content between blood relatives, bestiality, sexual violence and gore, enforced by automated scanning and human review. In the iOS and Android apps NSFW is off by default; you switch it on in the website's settings.
What It Costs
Janitor AI is free for chat: unlimited chats on its built-in model with a context window of about 9,000 tokens. Janitor+ costs $12.99 a month or $99 a year in the US App Store (€14.99 or €99 in the French store) and multiplies that memory by five, adds priority routing when the service is busy and gives access to Janitor+ Router, a pay-per-token wallet for outside models with $5 of launch credit. Web prices only show after sign-in. Fees are generally non-refundable.
You don't need your own API key: connecting an outside model is optional. Pay for Janitor+ only once the free memory window holds your stories back.
Character AI is free to use and sells a subscription, c.ai+. We have not checked its current price; it doesn't unlock explicit content.
Want Pictures and Voice Too?
Janitor AI is text only: no image generation, voice messages or calls. If you want media in the same app, these are the reviews to read:
- GirlfriendGPT (8.2/10): about 70,500 community characters, NSFW on every paid plan, 5,000 messages and 400 coins a month from $15.
- Candy AI (7.7/10): one companion you build or pick, unlimited text chat with images, image-to-video and voice on tokens, €3.99 a month on the yearly plan.
- SpicyChat (7.3/10): the same community-bot format with a free tier, scene images from €19.95 a month and text-to-speech at €29.95.
Final Verdict
For NSFW roleplay, use Janitor AI (6.2/10). It costs nothing to start, needs no setup, hosts over a million public bots and allows adult content on its website within clear rules. Pay for Janitor+ yearly only if you keep running out of memory.
Use Character AI only for safe-for-work chat; its rules exclude explicit content.
