Key takeaways
- CrushOn.AI is a character-chat and AI companion service for adults, built around a community library the company says holds more than 8 million characters. Its pitch is long-form roleplay with fewer filters than Character.AI, though its own Community Guidelines still ban a long list of content and the service is 18+ only.
- The audience hasn't visibly moved. It launched as an alternative to heavily filtered character-chat services and, as of August 2026, still markets itself as an AI girlfriend and roleplay platform, so the core users remain adult companion seekers, roleplayers and the creators who publish characters for them.
- The free tier doesn't expire: unlimited chats on free models, 100 monthly credits to sample Pro Models and 20 Inspiration Replies a day. Paid plans ran from Standard at $5.99 a month to Imperial at $199.99 as of August 2026. Credits are the metered unit, there are no partial refunds, and tier names have recently changed.
- Traffic estimates disagree by orders of magnitude. The scraped estimate puts crushon.ai near 19.5 million visits in June 2026 with more than two thirds arriving direct, while a separate Exa estimate for the same month is roughly 45,000. Neither is an official figure.
- The biggest caveat is privacy. The privacy policy says chat and character content may be used to train models and makes no promise that chats are excluded, which matters for a service used for intimate conversations. Watchdog ratings are poor, though no breach, lawsuit or regulator action has been found.
What is CrushOn.AI?
CrushOn.AI is a character-chat service run under the CrushOn and Peekaboo Tech names, with the main site at crushon.ai and the chat application at chat.crushon.ai. You pick a character from a public library or build one with a profile, personality and scenario, then hold a long-form roleplay with it. The search-visible title calls it a no-filter NSFW character chat and spicy AI girlfriend, while the chat site describes it as an AI girlfriend and character-AI platform for long-form roleplay. Both readings are accurate: adult romantic and NSFW companionship between consenting adults sits alongside anime, fantasy and romance roleplay with no sexual angle at all.
What sets it apart from Character.AI is the moderation stance. CrushOn launched as an alternative to heavily filtered character chat and still leads with that. "Unfiltered" isn't absolute, though. The Community Guidelines prohibit minors or ambiguous-age characters, child exploitation, non-consensual sexual material, realistic images of real people, explicit sexual imagery in posted content, trafficking, commercial sexual activity, hate speech, harassment and certain fetish and violent content, and the service is limited to adults. The other distinguishing feature is depth on paid plans: the current homepage advertises up to 24K of memory on Ultra, and older official documentation lists 8K and 16K tiers along with a separate group-chat model.
Around the core chat sit a mobile app that the privacy policy covers for Apple's App Store and Google Play, a Discord server and subreddit for support and community, and an official X account and YouTube channel. There's no public API, SDK, desktop client, browser extension or open-source release, and no dated release notes. This is a consumer web and mobile product, not a developer platform.
How it works
Start free in the browser
Open chat.crushon.ai or create an account. The service is free to start and no credit card is advertised as required. Free accounts get unlimited chats on the free AI models plus a monthly allowance of 100 credits to try the Pro Models, so you can judge the difference between tiers before paying anything.
Pick a character or build your own
Browse the community library, which the company says holds more than 8 million characters across roleplay, romance, anime and fantasy, or create a character with its own profile, personality and scenario. Creations stay private to your account unless you choose to publish them, and CrushOn's FAQ says character cards aren't reviewed by moderation while they remain private.
Choose a model and settings
Open a chat and select the model and settings available on your plan, including the reply language and personalisation options. Free models and Pro Models draw on different allowances: free-model chats are unlimited, while Pro Model messages consume credits at rates that vary by model and response, with no current official rate card published.
Keep the story going, and pay for more room
Continue the roleplay across sessions using memory and profile features where your plan includes them. When you want more capable models, longer memory or higher limits, subscribe to a paid tier or buy credits. Reports about stolen creations, moderation issues or bans go through the in-chat report button and the FAQ support flow.
Features
Character library
The chat homepage claims more than 8 million AI characters spanning roleplay, romance, anime and fantasy. That number is the company's own and isn't audited, but the library is why most people arrive: you can start a conversation with an existing character in seconds rather than writing one from scratch. Some characters are Unlisted or Private, and the FAQ notes that others only appear once you enable the Unfiltered and hidden-content switches on the website.
Character creation
Anyone can build a custom character and decide whether to keep it private or publish it to the community. A June 2026 review by Pippin Club described the creator as covering image, scene, greeting, personality and voice configuration, though that is a reviewer's observation rather than an official feature list. The FAQ says character images are screened by a strict machine review that can produce false positives, with Discord as the route to get a wrongly flagged image cleared.
Long-context memory
Memory is tied to your plan and the model you choose. The current homepage advertises up to 24K of memory on Ultra, while older official plan documentation lists 8K and 16K tiers. That older documentation also says free-tier memory is deleted after seven days of inactivity, so check the current rules for your plan before you rely on a chat persisting.
Pro Models and credits
CrushOn runs a mix of free in-house models and Pro Models, and the retrieved official material doesn't identify a complete current roster or say whether each model is proprietary or supplied by a third party. Pro Models consume credits, with capability and message length reported to affect how many, so the same subscription stretches further on cheaper models. Paid plans bundle credits by tier: 2,000 on Standard, 6,000 on Premium and 125,000 on Imperial as of August 2026.
Group chat
Older official subscription documentation says paid tiers include group chat driven by a distinct model with 8K memory, which lets several characters share one scene. The current homepage doesn't confirm the detail, so check availability inside the app on your plan before you count on multi-character roleplay.
Inspiration Replies
The free tier advertises 20 Inspiration Replies a day, which suggest a next line when you're stuck rather than leaving you to write every turn yourself. Nothing in the retrieved pages says paid tiers change this allowance.
Privacy and publication controls
Chats and characters are private unless you deliberately publish them, and character cards stay personal to your account. You can change the language of a character's replies in the chat settings, or simply ask the character to reply in a given language. Private is not the same as confidential: the privacy policy still allows chat content to be used for safety, business purposes and model training.
What people use it for
- Long-form fictional roleplay with characters from the community library
- Adult romantic or NSFW companionship between consenting adults
- Building a custom AI companion with a defined personality and scenario
- Multi-character group roleplay, where your plan enables it
- Exploring anime, fantasy and romance character communities
- Keeping an ongoing story alive across sessions with plan-based memory
- Publishing characters for other users and building a creator following
- Sampling Pro Models on the free monthly credit allowance before subscribing
It isn't for minors, illegal sexual content, non-consensual intimate material, realistic depictions of real people, or anyone who needs their chats kept out of model training, since the privacy policy makes no such promise.

Everything beyond the free models is metered in credits, and the free tier is a permanent plan rather than a trial: unlimited chats on free AI models, 100 credits a month for Pro Models and 20 Inspiration Replies a day, with no credit card advertised as required. As of August 2026 the chat homepage listed Standard at $5.99 a month for 2,000 credits, Premium at $14.99 for 6,000, Luxe at $39.99, Elite at $89.99 and Imperial at $199.99 for 125,000 credits and 30 custom voice slots. The homepage says annual billing saves up to 47%, and a July 2026 third-party capture reported Standard at about $4.19 a month on annual billing and Luxe at $25 a month annually with 20,000 credits, neither confirmed on the official page. How many credits a message costs depends on the model and the response, and no official per-message rate card, top-up price, rollover or expiry rule was retrievable, so budget on the assumption that unused credits may not carry over. Subscriptions auto-renew monthly. To stop the next charge, cancel from Profile, then My Subscription, then Manage, then Cancel Subscription before the billing date, or turn off auto-renewal in your Apple or Google account at least 24 hours before the period ends. Access continues to the end of the paid cycle, but the July 2025 Terms give no partial refund or credit for unused time, mid-cycle cancellation or downgrades, and say usage fees are non-refundable, with App Store and Google Play purchases subject to those stores' own rules. Tier names are in flux: third-party captures still list a Deluxe plan at $49.99 that no longer appears on the official homepage, which advertises Elite and Imperial instead, so confirm the live plan table at crushon.ai/pricing before you pay.
Traffic & reach
Third-party estimates, not official figures, and in this case they don't agree. The scraped estimate puts crushon.ai at about 19.5 million visits in June 2026, down 5.6% on May and roughly flat against the 19.9 million estimated for November 2025, with 68.8% of visits arriving direct and an average visit of over twelve minutes. That shape, mostly direct and long sessions, is what a bookmarked daily-use chat app looks like. A separate Exa record for the same month estimates only around 45,000 visits, so the two estimators differ by orders of magnitude and the true figure sits somewhere in a very wide range. Third-party reviews repeat claims of 2 million weekly active users and 1.2 billion monthly messages, but none of that has been independently corroborated.

Be the first to reviewWhat to know before you commit
What people rate it for. Third-party reviews praise the size of the character library, roleplay that is permissive compared with Character.AI, the custom-character tools and continuity through memory. A June 2026 Pippin Club review rated the creator highly for its image, scene, greeting, personality and voice configuration. Several reviewers also single out the free tier for being genuine rather than a disguised trial.
Credits are the recurring complaint. The most consistent criticism is economics. Reviewers describe free and paid credit limits as tight and note that the more capable models burn credits faster, while the absence of a published per-message rate makes monthly cost hard to forecast. The plan names also appear to have changed recently, so older reviews may describe tiers that no longer exist.
Privacy is the material risk. The privacy policy says chat and character content may be used to train AI models, that chat-generated content may be used for training without being linked to specific users, and that profile, character, chat, device and network data are collected. A July 2026 review cited Mozilla-related criticism, extensive trackers, health-related data language and self-reported age verification. CompanionWise assigns the service an F rating with a score of 8, and VerifyWise reports no disclosed training-data, deletion or data-subject-rights points. These are watchdog assessments rather than incident findings, and no verified breach, lawsuit, regulator enforcement or outage pattern was found.
Its own rules are stricter than "no filter" suggests. Despite the adult positioning, the Community Guidelines prohibit minors or ambiguous-age characters, child exploitation, non-consensual sexual material, realistic images of real people, explicit sexual imagery in posted content, trafficking, commercial sexual activity, hate speech, harassment and certain fetish and violent content. The service is 18+ only, and moderation, age assurance and platform-store policy may change. Character images go through a strict machine review that the FAQ admits produces false positives.
The ratings contradict each other. Two July 2026 review pages repeat high App Store and Google Play ratings with large review counts, but the store pages themselves couldn't be verified. The same sources report Trustpilot at 2.2 out of 5 from 14 reviews and note that promotional copy claiming 4.7 out of 5 from 50,000 reviews was never independently confirmed. There's no reliable G2, Capterra, Product Hunt or expert-press review corpus, so recheck the aggregates yourself before weighting them.
The growth and funding numbers are not verified. StartupHub.ai reported a $15 million round in April 2026 without corroborated investor or valuation detail, while Oryndex notes that other databases list the company as unfunded and describes an $18 million ARR claim as unverified. Figures of 2 million weekly active users, 5 million accounts and 1.2 billion monthly messages circulate in third-party reviews and are company-attributed at best. Treat all of them as claims.

Frequently asked questions
Company & links
- Company
- CrushOn.AI
- Leadership
- A community-maintained profile from June 2026 names Yue Zhu as co-founder and says the service was founded in 2023 and operates through Peekaboo Tech Inc., reportedly a Delaware corporation. An Exa company record instead lists a 2024 founding year. No authoritative founder biography, complete founding team, headquarters address or corporate filing was found, so none of this is verified.
- Funding
- StartupHub.ai reported a $15 million round in April 2026 without corroborated lead-investor or valuation detail. Oryndex says the round lacks authoritative confirmation and that other databases list the company as unfunded. No acquisition, parent-company transaction, public listing or named institutional investor was found, so total raised is unresolved.
- Scale
- Headcount claims conflict: an Exa record says two employees, while a July 2026 third-party review puts it at about 15. An $18 million ARR figure circulates but is described by Oryndex as unverified, and the 2 million weekly active users, 5 million accounts and 1.2 billion monthly messages repeated in reviews are company-attributed and uncorroborated. Revenue, profitability and cash flow are undocumented.
