AI chatbot roleplay compared: eight platforms, checked against their own pages
By James N.7 min read
Every few weeks someone in our community asks which chatbot site to use for adult role-play, and the answers are mostly vibes. So here is the boring version: eight platforms, and only what each one says on its own public pages about age checks, content rules, memory and price. Where a page did not say, or would not load signed out, the table says so instead of guessing.
How this was checked
Every fact below comes from the platform's own terms, community guidelines, help center, docs or pricing page, checked in November 2026. Nothing comes from review sites or forum threads. Prices are in US dollars as listed at the time, and these companies change plans often, so treat them as a snapshot. Character AI is here for contrast.
The comparison table
| Platform | Who it is for | Adult content | Memory | Price when checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Janitor AI | 18 and over | Allowed on bots tagged Limitless | About 9k tokens free, five times that on janitor+ | Free; janitor+ $12.99 a month or $99 a year |
| SpicyChat AI | 18 and over | Allowed on bots marked NSFW, with banned topics | 4,096 tokens free, up to 32,768 on the top plan | Free; $5.95, $19.95 or $29.95 a month |
| Chub | 18 and over | Light moderation of chats with bots | Lorebooks; its Soji model at 60K for subscribers | Free trial credits; $20 a month, crypto only |
| CrushOn AI | 18 and over | Unfiltered label; terms restrict explicit posts | 8K free, 16K to 24K models on paid plans | Free tier; paid from $58.88 a year |
| Kindroid | 18 and over, with age checks | Adult role-play allowed, with three red lines | Backstory, Key Memories, journals, long-term memory | Shown only at checkout; a free preview of up to 50 messages |
| Nomi | 18 and over | Calls itself unfiltered; terms set no adult rules | Short, medium and long-term memory, Mind Maps | Free to start; $15.99, $39.99 a quarter or $99.99 a year |
| Character AI | Chat only for users verified as 18 and over | Explicit adult material prohibited | Story Memory and pins for all; Facts on the paid plan | Free; paid price hidden behind sign-in |
| SillyTavern with an API | No age gate of its own | Set by the model you connect | World Info, summaries, any context you set | Free software; you pay the API provider |
Janitor AI
Janitor AI's terms say the platform is only for users 18 and over, and its help center says accounts reasonably suspected of being under 18 are banned. None of the pages checked describe an age-verification step. Bots are tagged Limited or Limitless, and a Limitless tag does not make prohibited content acceptable. The free tier has roughly 9k tokens of context; janitor+ ($12.99 a month or $99 a year) promises five times the memory, faster replies and more models, plus a Router for outside models.
SpicyChat AI
SpicyChat's community guidelines require every user to be at least 18 and every bot to be an adult. Bots with explicit content must be marked NSFW, and a list of topics is banned outright. The guidelines describe no verification process. Memory is clearly published: 4,096 tokens on the free plan and on Get A Taste, 8,192 on True Supporter (with a feature called Semantic Memory 2.0), and up to 32,768 on I'm All In, depending on the model. Prices rose on 8 September 2026 to $5.95, $19.95 and $29.95 a month.
Chub
Chub's terms limit the service to people 18 and over. Its stated approach is to moderate how someone talks to a machine as little as possible beyond legal requirements and harm prevention, while removing any adult content involving anyone who is or appears to be under 18. No verification step is described.
The subscription is $20 a month for unlimited use of its hosted models, paid in cryptocurrency only. New users periodically receive free trial credits worth a few dozen messages. Its own model, Soji, runs at 60K context for subscribers, per the subscription page and its patch notes. Outside APIs such as OpenAI and Anthropic work too, and characters can carry lorebooks.
CrushOn AI
CrushOn's community guidelines say the service is only for users 18 and older, and ban any character whose age is not clearly over 18, including characters aged up from source material. The content picture is harder to read: the site's navigation carries an Unfiltered label, while the terms of use bar explicit user submissions and the guidelines restrict explicit imagery.
The free plan lists 100 message credits a month, 8K memory, 4,000 characters of pinned notes per chat, and chat history deleted after seven days of inactivity. Standard starts at $58.88 a year with access to 16K memory models, and the top plans offer 24K.
Kindroid
Kindroid is adults only. Paying users count as verified through their payment. Free users may be flagged by a behavioural age estimate or their app store's age range, then asked to verify through Yoti by selfie or ID; the selfie route only passes if it estimates 21 or older, so younger adults need ID. Flagged accounts left unverified are deleted after 30 days. Its moderation guidelines explicitly welcome adult role-play and set three red lines: imminent self-harm, planning real harm to others, and zero tolerance for abuse material involving anyone under 18.
Memory is layered, from an always-present backstory and Key Memories to long-term memory and journal entries recalled by keyphrase. The help center shows no prices, which appear at checkout and vary by country and platform. Unlimited free messaging ended on 1 October 2026, and new accounts now get a one-time preview of 50 messages (15 in some regions).
Nomi
Nomi's terms bar anyone under 18 under any circumstances, require a date of birth, and say the company intends to add further age-verification measures. Its home page describes Nomi as unfiltered and uncensored; the terms do not spell out rules for adult content either way. Memory comes in short, medium and long-term layers, with Backstory+, an Identity Core and Mind Maps on top. It is free to start without a card. Its App Store listing prices the Standard Plan at $15.99, or $39.99 quarterly and $99.99 yearly; its wiki notes web prices can differ slightly.
Character AI
Its terms still allow sign-ups from 13 (16 in the EEA and UK), but every user must now pass an age check through Persona, and anyone verified as under 18 is placed in a reading mode without character chat. The community guidelines welcome romance while prohibiting explicit adult material. Its Memory screen offers Story Memory and pinned messages to everyone, plus automatic Facts for subscribers. The subscription page asks you to sign in, so its price could not be checked.
SillyTavern with an API
SillyTavern is free, open source under AGPL-3.0, and installed on your own machine. It has no age gate or content policy of its own: what is allowed depends on the model you connect, and its docs note that local models are unfiltered while most cloud models filter and charge. Memory is in your hands, through World Info entries, a summary extension and whatever context size your model supports. The SillyTavern setup guide walks through it.
What could not be verified
- Paid prices for Kindroid and Character AI. Neither appears on public pages without signing in or reaching checkout.
- CrushOn AI's monthly prices, since the pricing page displayed annual billing.
- Age-verification steps at Janitor AI, SpicyChat AI, Chub and CrushOn AI. Their pages state an 18 minimum but describe no check, which is not proof that none exists.
How to choose
Decide what you will not compromise on, then read that column. If memory matters most, compare the published token numbers, and plan on keeping your own notes anyway, because every one of these forgets eventually; keeping a long roleplay consistent covers the habits. If you want control over the model and your data, SillyTavern costs an evening of setup. If age checks matter to you as a host, Kindroid and Character AI are the only two here that describe one in detail.
Two characters with a reason to be in the same room will carry a scene on almost any of them, and the scenario generator here is one way to draft that reason.
