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

Promptchan

An adult generator with an unusually complete offering - images, video, character chat, voice calls and an API - behind a named Irish company rather than the anonymous shells common in this category. Terms explicitly ban sexualised minors and non-consensual deepfakes, and the company says it enforces blocks. The Gem economy is the thing to watch: only the $33.99 Pro tier gives unlimited casual generation, and video and custom characters are Pro-only.

Pros

  • Images, video and character chat with voice calls in one subscription
  • Community gallery of roughly 20 million generations that can be cloned and varied
  • Documented API with a getting-started guide for business use
  • Named operator - VisionAI Labs Limited, registered in Dublin - with published terms
  • Free daily Gem allowance for evaluation

Cons

  • Gems meter everything; only the $33.99 Pro tier removes the cap on casual generations
  • AI video, custom characters and voice calls are Pro-only
  • No native iOS or Android app, just a mobile-optimised site
  • Adult content carries payment-processor and platform-availability risk

Which one fits
