Have you also deleted your Character.AI account and uninstalled the app in frustration after it strengthened NSFW content filtering and blocked keywords?
Don't worry! There are plenty of fun alternatives to meet your needs. Spend just 3 minutes reading this article, and you'll find the answers you're looking for (don't forget to bookmark it!).
As we kick off 2025, we thoroughly tested 20+ AI chat applications on the market and selected the best 8 alternatives to replace C.AI. While each app offers unique features and focuses, none of them have filters!
We'll provide detailed comparisons with C.AI, explore their NSFW chat experiences, and share key information on free and paid options. Each app is given an overall rating (out of 5 stars), ensuring that by the end of this article, you'll find exactly what you need.
1. TipsyChat (Overall Rating: 4 Stars)
If you were to imagine the next evolution of Character.AI, what would it look like? Tipsy Chat gives us an answer: immersive, efficient, polished, and most importantly, 100% NSFW content enabled.
It feels like the prototype of an unrestricted role-playing interactive game. Just like the initial "wow moment" C.AI gave you, Tipsy Chat requires no user manuals, no searching through complex interfaces for features, and no bypassing keywords to enter NSFW scenarios. Its design directly and quickly fulfills the core needs of AI chat users.
While advanced models require a subscription, the free models are already a perfect match for players who enjoy long storylines and controlling the narrative direction. With over 100,000 uniquely styled characters ranging from anime to realistic figures, you can dive into limitless plots of romance, adventure, thriller, or absurd humor—without any filters.
Currently, there are six models (with more to come), each specializing in different aspects. The free models are highly intelligent, with adjustable temperature and content diversity settings. The nuanced emotional flow you've experienced in books, movies, or games is seamlessly replicated by Tipsy Chat, transporting you to a deeper level of engagement.

2. Candy.AI (Overall Rating: 2 Stars)
While Candy.AI is included as an alternative to C.AI, its overall user experience feels more like a basic tool primarily focused on generating NSFW images. It lacks role-play and storytelling capabilities, making it suitable only for beginners in AI chat who prefer realistic-style characters.
Key Features:
-
The most notable feature is the bot's ability to send NSFW images during chats based on user requests (requires a subscription).
-
No dedicated app version is available; the web version is rudimentary with limited functionality.
-
Only one default model is available, focusing on short, basic chats and not supporting long-story replies.
-
About 70% of the available characters are realistic-style, with a total library of around 100 characters.
Who It's For:
If you're curious about how AI-generated NSFW text and images look, or want a quick 5-minute introduction to entry-level AI chat applications, Candy.AI might be worth exploring.
Downside:
After just three messages, you'll need to subscribe to continue using the service.
Overall Rating: 2 Stars.
Comparison with Character AI
Advantages:
- ✅ Ideal for users who prefer realistic-style characters
- ✅ Bots can send NSFW images during chats (requires a subscription)

3. PolyBuzz (Overall Rating: 3 Stars)
If PolyBuzz could be described in one sentence, it would be: "Too focused on the exterior, while neglecting the core." The main reason it's included here is its massive character library. The platform claims to offer over 10 million characters, covering a wide range of categories such as Anime, Movies & TV, Games, and Celebrities. Well-known IPs are thoroughly represented, and each character is presented with unique and creative personality settings. The platform also occasionally features special series of characters.
However, despite the abundance of characters, once you start chatting with them, you'll notice that the differences between them are minimal. Backgrounds and personality settings have little influence on the model's responses, as the platform relies on a single, moderately intelligent model. This limits the depth of storyline development, and accessing more explicit NSFW content requires subscribing to the Passion Model.
PolyBuzz feels more like a giant supermarket for IPs—a paradise for anime, gaming, and movie fans. You can spend hours exploring and browsing, but when you finally select your favorite characters and eagerly start chatting, you may find they're more similar than expected.
Overall Rating: 3 Stars.
Comparison with Character AI

- ✅ Extensive and diverse character library
Disadvantages:
- ❌ Low model intelligence

-

-
Reply Length Range: Fixed at approximately 30 words/message, not adjustable.
4. Chub AI (Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars)
Chub AI is a veteran in the long-story role-play category. From the moment you log in, it becomes evident that this platform offers immense depth and playability, making it ideal for advanced and API-savvy users. It feels like a platform initially crafted by coding enthusiasts, which later flourished into a robust ecosystem thanks to the influx of users who built countless unique characters and intricate worldviews.
Similar to Crushon, the platform contains a significant amount of explicit and bizarre images and text. If you find this uncomfortable, you can filter keywords in the personal settings. Lorebooks is a standout feature unique to Chub AI, allowing users to embed pre-designed background stories, settings, and environments into the prompt by inserting custom keywords. This makes it possible to reuse the same scene across different characters by applying the same Lorebook.
The platform supports over 10 self-developed or external API -integrated models, with free models exhibiting above-average intelligence. However, Chub AI is not suited for beginners or intermediate users. Its complex features, intricate settings, and vast selection of filters and parameters may overwhelm users, disrupting the flow of conversations. Additionally, both the web and app interfaces are rudimentary, plagued by slow loading times and frequent bugs due to a lack of optimization.
Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars.
Comparison with Character AI
Advantages:
- ✅ Supports long-reply story-driven role-play
- ✅ Extensive library of characters and plot content
- ✅ Highly customizable character filters and chat settings
Disadvantages:
- ❌ Interface lacks optimization and is overly complex
- ❌ Explicit and bizarre images/content may cause discomfort
- ❌ Does not support character voice
Subscription Key Information
-
Free Mode: Free users receive 300 free messages daily, limited to free models.
-
No Cost to Access: The app's basic functionality is available without payment.
-
Paid Mode: Two subscription tiers are available: $6.99/month and $24.99/month.
-
Key Benefits of Subscription: Unlimited access to advanced models, 8K tokens of memory, and more.
-
Reply Length Range: Varies based on the character's response, with no fixed length.
5. Crushon (Overall Rating: 3 Stars)
Warning! Please be cautious when using the "Unfiltered" button in Crushon, as the images are often overly explicit, lacking appropriate moderation and classification, and may be uncomfortable for some users. We don't particularly favor this app due to its overly sexualized and sensationalized approach. It's included here mainly because of its "no filter" feature and its aggressive stance on NSFW content.
Crushon offers 10+ models, with half of them available for free. However, after testing, we found the intelligence to be below average, with little differentiation between models. The NSFW content is direct and detailed. The platform offers a wide variety of characters with distinct personalities, but the image quality is low, and the small sizes lack immersion.
If you're only looking for superficial sensory stimulation and enjoy a more curious, sensational approach—without caring too much about model response times, or storyline depth—Crushon may be an option. However, I believe that prolonged use may lead to a sense of emptiness and fatigue once the dopamine effect fades, which can be harmful to your long-term mental and physical well-being.
Overall Rating: 3 Stars.
Comparison with Character AI
Pros:
- ✅ Supports long-reply storyline role-play

6. CHAI (Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars)
Imagine a super simple version of Character.AI, yet with the same model intelligence and response speed as C.AI. This is CHAI. Likely due to the founder's background in quantitative trading, CHAI's product features are extremely simple, with all efforts seemingly focused on developing highly anthropomorphic models that showcase strong understanding and personality traits.
Thanks to its strong language comprehension, NSFW content becomes a powerful tool for CHAI to retain users, offering rich and nuanced text, fast-paced storylines, and completely non-repetitive plots. This offers a distinctive experience compared to many other apps with numerous models. Despite the inability to adjust any model settings, CHAI is completely suitable for beginner users.
However, the limited character pool and search functionality are CHAI's weak points. You cannot easily scroll through all your favorite characters and instead rely on keyword search. When you can't think of what character you want to chat with, you end up wasting a lot of time searching for the one that grabs your attention.
Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars.

7. Sakura AI (Overall Rating: 3 Stars)
If you're an anime enthusiast, Sakura might be worth considering. It's one of the earliest "no filter" apps, much like the original C.AI, and has built a large fanbase with hundreds of thousands of users on its Discord server. Its rapid user expansion is due to its completely free offering at the start, and it primarily targets anime fans by offering a wide variety of unique anime-style characters, continuously attracting users with long reply story-driven role-play.
Currently, Sakura offers 3 models (2 of which require subscriptions), allowing users to adjust model parameters and even modify the personalities of characters created by others. The settings center is not overloaded with unnecessary adjustment options, making it useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced users.
However, I'm disappointed to note that the free model, Lotus, is below average in intelligence, with frequent repetition occurring. This shows that the developers have not invested enough time and resources to optimize this model.
Additionally, both the web and app interfaces have not been optimized in real time (it took me 20 minutes to log in successfully). Almost every page loads slowly, and many buttons contain bugs.
A few months ago, after daily chat limits were introduced, many users became dissatisfied. They were required to publish promotional content and submit requests to the official team to gain access to more free messages. If you're not willing to engage in these tedious tasks, Sakura may not be the right app for you.
Overall Rating: 3 Stars.

8. Botify AI (Overall Rating: 2.5 Stars)
As a new product, Botify AI feels somewhat average compared to the previously listed apps. It lacks customizable model settings, diverse character types, and immersive experiences. Its features are designed to be simple and reliable. Think of it as an upgraded version of Candy.AI, with a broader selection of real-life style characters, but still not as extensive as some other platforms. You can ask the bot to send NSFW images (subscription required), or even convert text into images, and send gifts to the bot (purchase required) to gain its affection.
It offers two free models with minimal differences and average intelligence. The remaining four advanced models require a subscription, with no options to adjust other chat settings. As I mentioned, it's simple and safe, a passable but unremarkable product.
If you're a beginner who enjoys real-life style characters and just want 10-15 minutes of daily emotional companionship from a bot without looking for guided story-driven interactions, Botify AI is a decent choice.
Overall Rating: 2.5 Stars.
Comparison with Character AI
Pros:
- ✅ Suitable for users who prefer real-life style characters
- ✅ Bots can send NSFW images during chats (subscription required)

After the above summary, we believe that you now have a clear answer on how to choose the best NSFW alternative to Character.AI.
We believe that whether you're new to AI chat apps or have been browsing and selecting platforms for a while, Tipsy Chat (4-star rating) is the perfect replacement for C.AI in terms of chat experience, product features, character creation, and no-filter functionality.
Additionally, we recommend you try Chub AI (3.5-star rating) and CHAI (3.5-star rating) to experience their high-intelligence models and highly customizable character and chat settings. These are perfect choices for upgrading from beginner to intermediate or advanced users.
As for the remaining products, while they excel in NSFW functionality, they each have their own flaws in other areas. Overall, their experience is not as great as the three mentioned above.
