What is the best CrushOn AI alternative?

For photos and short video stories, Lovi Dream, which is our own app. If you want to stay with a big community library, SpicyChat is the nearest match and Janitor AI the largest. Kindroid wins on memory.

Is there a free CrushOn AI alternative?

Janitor AI's standard models have no message cap, and SpicyChat's free tier includes six models. Kindroid lets you send 50 messages before it asks you to subscribe. Lovi Dream gives a new account 5 messages and a photo to try, with unlimited chat on Premium.

Which CrushOn alternative has the best memory?

Kindroid, by a distance: key memories plus a journal, reaching back hundreds of messages or more. Janitor AI's free tier holds about 9,000 tokens, and on Lovi Dream she keeps the latest 80 messages.

Which alternative doesn't ask for a $0.99 card payment?

Lovi Dream asks you to confirm you're 18, with no charge, though it isn't offered in the UK. SpicyChat uses a video selfie in some places, and Kindroid may route free users to Yoti.

Does CrushOn AI have an iPhone app?

Not one we could find from CrushOn's company on the App Store when we searched on November 5, 2026. Among the alternatives, Kindroid has a full iPhone app and Janitor AI a beta; Lovi Dream and Candy AI are web apps, and SpicyChat is web-only on iPhone.

Is CrushOn AI still good in 2026?

Its library and group chats are still strong, and Lovi Dream has neither. The recurring complaints are tighter filters, models being swapped out, the $0.99 age check and free chats disappearing after a week of inactivity.

We make Lovi Dream. Every other app's facts come from its own site or help pages, checked Nov 2026. How we ranked them

Why people leave CrushOn AI

We read CrushOn's pricing page, its privacy policy and its reviews on November 5, 2026 for our post on whether CrushOn AI is safe. These are the complaints that come up most.

Reviewers on Trustpilot say the filters got stricter and characters now refuse scenes they used to play.
In an April 2026 Reddit thread, free and paying users said CrushOn kept removing the chat models they liked and replacing them with slower, more filtered ones.
Three Trustpilot reviewers say CrushOn asked for full card details and a $0.99 payment before it would turn on 18+ content.
The free plan gives 100 message credits a month, and CrushOn deletes a free account's chat history after 7 days without use.
There's no button to delete your account. CrushOn's privacy policy says to email support@crushon.ai.
In an October 2026 thread, a user said they wouldn't renew their yearly plan because features kept getting taken away.

How we ranked them

Every app below had to answer one question: does it fix what pushed you off CrushOn? We scored each on these six points, using its own pricing page, help center or App Store listing as it stood on Nov 8, 2026.

01
The CrushOn complaints
Stricter filters, models that vanish, the $0.99 card check, free chats wiped after a week. How many of those it solves.
02
Pictures and clips
CrushOn is mostly text. Does this app send photos in the chat, and does it have anything you can watch?
03
How far back it remembers
A few thousand tokens, the last 80 messages, or months of journal entries.
04
The trial
CrushOn gives 100 credits a month. What each rival lets you do before the first charge.
05
Getting out
CrushOn makes you email support to delete. Is there a button here, and a refund window?
06
Phone or browser
CrushOn has no iPhone app. Which of these do.

1. Lovi Dream, for photos and video instead of a bot library

We make Lovi Dream, so take this one with that in mind. Where CrushOn hands you millions of strangers' bots, we wrote 28 girls ourselves, each with a backstory, a look that stays the same in every picture, and a habit of messaging you before you message her. The bigger difference is everything outside the text box: Shorts are minute-long video episodes filmed as if you're in the room, and Live Action lets you choose her next move and watch it play out.

What it does well

No $0.99 card charge to open adult chat. Confirming you're over 18 is the whole step.
Photos on request, drawn to match the moment you're in. Premium's 100 monthly tokens cover about 33 of them.
The first episode of each Shorts series plays without paying. Later episodes run 20 tokens on Premium.
Nothing gets wiped after a quiet week. Chats stay until you remove them, and Delete Account sits in Settings, no email needed.
You get 14 days to ask for your last payment back under our refund policy, provided you've barely used it.

The catch

If CrushOn's endless community bots were the draw, you'll miss them. It's our cast plus whatever girls you build.
Group chats aren't a thing here yet.
Her memory covers the latest 80 messages, so last month's details fall out.
Chat without limits is a Premium feature.
People in the UK can't sign up.

Go with Lovi Dream if CrushOn left you wanting to see her, in photos and on video, more than you wanted another thousand bots to scroll.

2. Candy AI, for a glossier realistic girlfriend

Candy AI sits at the opposite end from CrushOn: no community bots, just a polished set of realistic companions plus a builder with 342 preset looks. Her selfies pass for real phone shots. In our October 24, 2026 test it carried 31 Shorts series and 30 private video packs, which is a lot more to watch than CrushOn offers.

What it does well

Selfies that genuinely read as photos, not renders.
Dozens of video series and packs to buy into.
A choice of six chat models, so you're less stuck if one changes.

The catch

Free accounts stop after 5 messages and one picture.
Its Premium runs $13.99 monthly, and pictures and videos are paid in tokens on top, roughly a dime each.
Browser only. There's no Candy app to install.

Candy AI suits you if you're done with text-only bots and don't mind a token meter running next to your subscription. We compare it at length in our Candy AI alternatives guide.

3. SpicyChat, for staying in a CrushOn-style library

Of everything here, SpicyChat feels most like CrushOn did: a huge community catalog, explicit roleplay allowed and a model picker. If your problem with CrushOn was the company rather than the format, start here.

What it does well

Its model guide lists six models for free users and as many as 24 on the top tier, so losing a favorite model hurts less than on CrushOn.
A deep pool of user-made characters to browse.
You can put several characters in one group chat.

The catch

Pictures in chat need True Supporter ($19.95) or I'm All In ($29.95) per its image docs. Nothing to watch, either.
A September 8, 2026 price rise put the entry plan, Get A Taste, at $5.95.
The UK, France, Italy, Australia and several US states get a video selfie age check, a different hurdle from CrushOn's $0.99 one.
iPhone users get the website only. Android users sideload an app from SpicyChat's site, according to its mobile page.

SpicyChat is the like-for-like swap: same kind of library, more free chat, still mostly text. More on it in our SpicyChat alternatives write-up.

4. Janitor AI, for the most bots and your own model

CrushOn users who are angry about vanishing models tend to land on Janitor AI, because there you can bring the model yourself. Its help center counts more than 1.4 million public bots, and its built-in models have no message cap.

What it does well

Over 1.4 million public bots, every one made by a user.
No message cap on the standard models.
Connect your own API key or a proxy like OpenRouter, or subscribe to Janitor+ and use its Router on the web. Nobody can pull your model away.
Beta apps on both iPhone and Android.

The catch

Free chats hold roughly 9,000 tokens of context; Janitor+ multiplies that by five.
The good models mean setting up a key with another provider and paying them per use.
Pictures and video aren't part of the product.
The phone app hides adult chat until you flip a setting on the website.

Janitor AI fits if your CrushOn complaint was model control and you can live without pictures. See our Janitor AI alternatives for what people leave it for.

5. Kindroid, for one companion who remembers

CrushOn wipes a free account's chats after a week of silence. Kindroid is the reverse: you design a single companion and the app is built to hold onto her history, with key memories, a journal of up to 500 entries and recall its memory guide says can stretch across thousands of messages, with some slips.

What it does well

The longest memory of anything on this list.
Voice calls, video calls and short video selfies for subscribers.
Its moderation rules spell out that adult roleplay is fine.
Proper apps on iPhone and Android, plus web.

The catch

50 free messages and 5 selfies, then the chat locks to read-only.
About $14.99 a month on the App Store; your local price shows at checkout.
Unpaid accounts can be sent to Yoti for an age check. Subscribing counts as proof.
No ready-made girls and no video stories. You start from scratch.

Kindroid is the pick if losing chat history was what drove you off CrushOn and a single companion is all you want.

Which one fits you

Lovi Dream: you want to see her, in photos and short videos, not just read her.
Candy AI: you want a glossy realistic girlfriend and accept paying tokens for media.
SpicyChat: you liked CrushOn's format and only want a different company running it.
Janitor AI: you're tired of models disappearing and want to bring your own.
Kindroid: CrushOn deleting your chats was the last straw.
