What our research says

Candy.ai

One of the larger adult companion apps and it does what it advertises, but the headline subscription is not what anyone actually pays — tokens are where the money goes. Only list it if your catalogue is willing to carry NSFW entries.

Pros

  • Character setup covers look, personality and voice in a single flow
  • Subscription includes unlimited text chat instead of metering every message
  • A named legal entity, EverAI Limited in Malta, stands behind billing and support

Cons

  • Token top-ups dominate real spend as soon as you generate images or take calls regularly
  • No pricing is visible until you create an account
  • No API, no export, and everything you create stays locked inside the platform

CraveU AI

CraveU is a character-roleplay chat app that leans into unfiltered, adult-oriented content as its differentiator from mainstream companion apps, with a community marketplace of user-created characters and a creator payout program. Token-metered pricing across three tiers is transparent, and the operator, COZYAI LLC, is identifiable, which is not true of every product in this category.

Pros

  • Legal operating entity and US location are identifiable, unlike many similar apps
  • Token pricing and plan contents are shown clearly and consistently across tiers
  • Creator cash-reward program adds a marketplace dynamic beyond simple consumption
  • iOS app exists alongside the web version

Cons

  • No meaningfully free tier -- every plan and even a la carte tokens cost money
  • Content moderation policy for community-submitted characters is not detailed on the pricing page
  • Token-based pricing makes total monthly cost hard to predict for a heavy user

Which one fits

Choose CraveU AI if you need

  • Adult users specifically seeking unfiltered roleplay chat
