We’ve re-evaluated Crushon AI’s performance score and deducted two stars from the privacy rating. It doesn’t offer discreet billing and states in their privacy policy that they will monitor chats for business purposes. We highly recommend Girlfriend GPT – basically the same but specifically designed with user privacy in mind and no chat monitoring!
Have you ever been talking to a bot on Character AI, wanting to spice things up a bit and got a reply like
Yup – that’s the NSFW filter and it’s f*cking annoying. If only there was an AI chatbot that’s just as good as c.ai but without any NSFW filters.
Spoiler alert: there is.
I found an app called Crushon AI and it’s basically c.ai on steroids.
In this Crushon AI review, I am going to tell you exactly why this app is 100 no 1.000 times better than c.ai

What is Crushon AI?
CrushOn AI is an app that allows users to chat with a wide range of AI-generated characters, including both safe-for-work (SFW) and not-safe-for-work (NSFW) AI chatbots, offering personalized and immersive roleplay experiences.
Crushon AI has gained massive popularity over the past few months especially since the release of their mobile app in September 2023.
Who Created Crushon aI?
We don’t know exactly who created Crushon AI. In their official Discord group, there are a few admins who go by the nicknames Cathy and Koga.
Pros
- Both SFW & NSFW
- Create own AI character
- Thousands of AI characters
- 100% Free
- Affordable premium plan
Cons
- The free plan has limited messages
For Who is Crushon AI Made?
Crushon AI is for anyone and everyone but if you read the following sentences and think; “lol that’s definitely me” then trying this AI companion app is an absolute must.
Bored People
It’s yet another rainy day and you’ve already binge watch the new season of Rick and Morty. Twice.
Crushon AI lets you choose from hundreds of characters with each of them having a unique personality and story to tell. It’s almost impossible to get bored with Crushon AI.
You Need a… Therapist, Lawyer, Friend, or Wife
I browsed through the Crushon AI character library and within 30 seconds I found a;
- Wife
- Sister
- Chef
- Therapist
- Werewolf
- Lawyer
- Assassin
And the list just keeps going…
If you need specific help at the moment like a friend to talk to there’s a character for that.
If you need a wife to cook for you then there’s a character for that.
If you need a celebrity to comfort you about your goldfish who just passed away then there’s a character for that.
Fantasy Lovers
You often talk to yourself and when you are all alone your imagination runs wild. You can imagine entire scenarios and crazy fantasies.
With Crushon AI, you can bring those fantasies to life.
It’s great at roleplaying.
Soooo whether you want to have sex on the moon while the Earth is exploding or take down Sauron with your new magic skills.
For Who is Crushon AI NOT Made?
Nobody. Everyone likes Crushon AI. Just kidding, there are a few people who definitely need to steer clear of this AI companion app.
Privacy Fanatics
You are the kind of person who lives off the grid, wears gloves to hide his fingerprints, and uses pigeons instead of mobile phones.
AI companion apps are very new and there aren’t a lot of regulations yet. How much privacy you actually have is often debated.
The Average Boomer
You have an old Nokia phone that’s so tough, that if you drop it, it’s not the phone that breaks but the floor that might need replacing…
You still read the newspaper and when you heard someone say “Facebook” you thought he was talking about putting your face in a book as a new kind of bookmark
If you are an old-school type of person, a state-of-the-art AI companion app might not be for you.
Best Features of Crushon AI
When you land on the Crushon AI homepage, you’ll be confronted with this screen;
Pretty basic.
Let’s take a closer look
Character Diversity
Starting with the diversity of the AI characters. If you take a closer look at the screenshot I just showed you, you’ll see a small button that says NSFW.
In other words - Crushon AI has both NSFW and SFW AI characters.
SFW Characters
Since everyone can create their own AI models and upload it to the library, there are tons of AI characters to choose from.
Here are some of the most popular characters;
What a variety, am I right?
I mean we have anime characters, siblings, and Draco from Harry Potter. 😂
Let’s zoom in on Big Sister.
If we click on her profile picture and open her character card we can see a couple of things.
- The number of likes
- The number of comments
- Shared conversations
This is the most popular character on Crushon AI so that’s why it has so many likes and shared conversations.
Speaking of shared conversations, whenever you chat with a character on Crushon AI, you can make your chat public so other people can read it and comment on it.
Awesome right?
More on that later…
Right now the only thing I am missing is a biography or some character info. Big Sister’s bio only says “I’m bored” right now.
It would be cool to have some more details as you get on Candy AI or PepHop AI.
NSFW Characters
Moving on to the spicy AI characters. 🥵
Just like the SFW AI characters, there are tons of flavors to pick. Here are the most popular ones;
Huhh, I thought Big Sister was an SFW AI character?
She is indeed, but she’s also NSFW. Some of the more popular AI chatbots are created as both SFW and NSFW.
Just like the SFW AI characters, each AI model has their own card with likes, comments, and shared conversations.
One difference between the SFW and NSFW characters I noticed is that the NSFW ones often have more tags.
This gives us slightly more information about who we are about to talk to.
Customization
If for some reason you can’t find the best AI girlfriend app to talk to, there’s always the option to build a brand-new one.
I’ve got a pretty awesome in-depth guide on how to build your own AI waifu (a female anime character) so be sure to check that out if you are serious about it.
Learn More >>> How To Make AI Waifu
It’s pretty straightforward - you either build your own waifu from scratch or import a card from other companion apps like c.ai or SpicyChat.
Conversation
The thing that really stood out to me was the conversational skills of the virtual companions on Crushon AI.
There’s a lot that they can do, and you’ll be surprised how realistic it sometimes feels.
Regular Chatting
I wanted to give Cushon AI a spin so I am going to pick one of the bazillion trending characters and have a regular convo with him/her.
Let’s go with Sebastian, a cold-hearted man who was once a Yakuza.
Ouch… I kind of got burned in that last part of the conversation. 😂
I only found this out after my conversation with Sebastian but you can actually create a profile card for yourself.
This will give the virtual companions more context about you.
Roleplay
Another cool thing you can do is roleplaying. There are tons of AI models specifically built for this.
Just fold open the category tab and click on RPG.
There are some cool options like Armin Arlert from Attack On Titan.
Or Neteyam from the most recent Avatar - The Way Of Water.
But we are just going to have a chat with Bucky Barnes, from Captain America The Winter Soldier.
But we are just going to have a chat with Bucky Barnes, from Captain America The Winter Soldier.
If you've seen the movie you probably know that Bucky is extremely cold.
Let.s find out!
As you can see, the AI roleplaying is very realistic. I really went up in the scenario and tried my very best to get out of that prison cell.
Games
This feature of Crushon AI is so unique, that I thought it deserved its own special section.
There is this one category called Game and it lt truely brings AI roleplay to a new level.
Let’s take a closer look at Isekai Narrator, a game that reincarnates you into a fantasy realm.
Other cool games that I’d recommend are;
- Ellie Williams
- Text Adventure Game
You can imagine how much fun you can have with just the Game category on its own.
Looks like it’s time to move on to the more intimate part of this Crushon AI review. Crushon AI only allows chatting, no pics and voice memos or anything…
Sexting
I am going to try this wolf-looking kind of character called Roxanne Wolf.
Sexual Roleplay
Just like regular AI roleplay, you can get into steamy sexual roleplay.
I am going to try this virtual character (it's one of their most trending characters) called Female Nargacuga.
She’s the only AI character on Crushon AI that has a GIF as an avatar so she really stood out.
Her bio says “It’s time for the hunter to be the hunted…”
So I assume I am going to be the one that’s getting spanked this time. 😂
That escalated quickly…
Crushon AI Mobile App
What I really like about Crushon is their mobile app. It's really clean and user-friendly.
You can do everything you can do on the main site conveniently on your phone, like using Tinder but with the character of your dreams.
You can save your conversations or delete them and start over again.
Creating your own AI character is a breeze in the app as it sinks to your camera roll and allows you to put whatever picture you want as well as customizing everything else about your AI.
Image Quality
Crushon AI focusses on the AI roleplay/conversation and doesn't have an image generator. We've thought about removing this rating for our Crushon AI review since it would deduct some serious points from the overall score. However, during our AI girlfriend market research we conducted an interview where we asked users what the most important feature ion an AI girlfeind app is.
NSFW content (including pictures) was the third most important aspect.
More competitors of Crushon AI are implementing an AI image generator to make. theaI roleplay experience more immersive and genuine. Crushon AI has no plans to implement this in the near future whatsover.
CrushOn Coins
Another unique feature of Crushon AI is its Golden Coins which is their digital currency, used to purchase in-game items.
You can earn CrushOn Coins by;
- Inviting friends
- Daily Check-ins
- Enter invitation code
- Create your first character
- Entering gift codes that are shared on Crushon’s social media
So far there aren’t any things you can purchase other then messages, but I am sure the developers are going to change this in the future.
Community
Having a solid community is essential for every brand. Especially AI companion apps.
Many people (like me) want to keep up-to-date on new features and be able to ask questions to other users and developers.
Crushon AI has a pretty solid social media presence
They've got:
- YouTube
- Tiktok
- Telegram Channel
- Telegram Group
- Discord Channel
I am going to dive a little bit deeper into the Discord Channel.
Discord Channel
I joined Crushon AI’s Discord group and I am surprised by how sparkling and lively it is.
There are different topics where you can ask questions, share AI characters, earn CrushOn Coins, and check announcements.
I’ve never seen an AI companion app that allows users to vote on new features so I thought it was super cool.
Privacy
I am not sure how to say this politely so I am just going to say it: Crushon AI's stance on user privacy is garbage. First of all, when you pay for the AI tool it shows up as "Crushon AI" in your bank statement. Unlike apps like Candy AI who use a seperate company for their payments (I believe it shows up as Ever AI).
I highly recommend you do not pay for Crushon AI with your shared credit card or your girlfriend might start asking questions.
But the thing that bothers me the most is that Crushon AI casually mentions they will monitor you chats to keep the platform 'safe'.
In fact, they even mention that they may monitor your chats 'for our business purposes' which could mean they are snooping around your spicy chats for marketing purposes.
You: That's awful Herman. Well, at least tell me they have some sort of AI that's monitoring chats and not a real person. Right..?
Nope.
They don't just rely on AI, they have a team of human moderators to keep a peak on your chats.
Now let's compare this to Girlfriend GPT, a similar app created because the founder wanted to explore NSFW chatting anonymously. It offers discreet billing and complete privacy.
It feels like Crushon AI is a communist police state while Girlfriend GPT is the walhalla of NSFW chatting.
Value For Money
Crushon AI has a free plan that allows you to send 100 messages per month. Afterwards, you’ll get a notification like this;
You’ll need to upgrade to one of the premium subscriptions to keep chatting
Subscription | Price | Messages/month | Memory | Chat Capacity | Features |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Free | $0/mo | 100 | Deleted after 7 days of inactivity | Shared (may be unavailable during peak times) | Create custom characters, Access community characters |
Standard | $5.99/mo | 2000 | Limited | Dedicated with basic priority | Create custom characters, Access community characters |
Premium | $14.99/mo | 6000 | Good | Dedicated with basic priority | Create custom characters, Access community characters |
Deluxe | $49.99/mo | Unlimited | Maximum | Dedicated with basic priority | Create custom characters, Access community characters, Adjust memory size, Adjust AI message lengths, Enhance Immersion Mode |
If you pay annually, you’ll get a discount which is between 20% - 60%.
We've re-evaluated Crushon AI's pricing plans and deducted 0.5 stars from the rating. The memory limit of every plan except their most expensive one ($50) is extremely bad which heavily influences the conversation quality.
What do Customers Say About Crushon aI?
Overall, the customer reviews are good. Very good.
This is one of the reviews I got from the App Store.
As for negative reviews there are a lot of complaints about the shitty memory limit and the expensive price.
And the Discord community is a maze of feature suggestions.

Character Diversity
You can choose from hundreds of AI characters including
- Celebrities
- Historical figures
- Fantasy characters
- Anime
- Multiple at once
- Royals
Just to name a few.
Not to mention Crushon AI has both SFW and NSFW AI characters. In terms of diversity, it should be illegal to give Crushon AI anything lower than a full 5-star rating.
Customization
AI chatbots offer advanced customization since they have blank fields allowing users to type in however they want their AI chatbot to talk and behave. Crushon AI is no exception, even taking it a step further with profile cards which allow you to inject memory's so your AI character will never forget certain details about you or itself.
Conversation
The interactions of both the SFW and NSFW virtual characters are mostly on point.
Each AI character has its own personality and style which gives a unique texting experience each and every time. On the flip side, the quality of the conversations heavily depends on how well the AI character is prompted.
There are a lot of low-quality virtual characters on Crushon AI in comparison to competitors like AI CharFriend and Girlfriend GPT. I am not sure what the cause of this is, maybe Crushon AI has a lot more inexperienced creators.
Image Quality
Nowadays, most AI chatbots are implementing an image generator for a more immersive AI roleplay experience. Crushon AI has no AI image generator, nor does it have plans to implement one in the near future.
I truly believe that voice messages, image generation and other interactive ways of communicating is the way forward so it's sad to see Crushon AI lacking behind on this.
Privacy
Crushon AI clearly states that they "monitor chats for safety" - not even mentioning they will only do this if you do sketchy stuff. For example, Candy AI also monitors chats but is only allowed to do this if you create harmful content like that of minors.
This is a huge breach of user privacy since they basically allow every employee to snoop around your chats without any reason.
Crushon AI also doesn't offer billing discretion and will show up as "Crushon AI" in your bank statement.
Value For Money
The cheapest plan of Crushon AI costs $5.90/month - which seems extremely affordable at first glimpse. However, this will give you a message limit of 100 per month (that's less then 4 per day) which is extremely low. With less then 5 messages, the memory of the cheapest plan is straight up trash. It should be illegal to offer it in the first place.
If we take a look at the $14.99/month plan, it offers 6.000 messages per month (193 per day) which gives more value for the price. However, although it says "good memory" in the description I discovered that the memory limit isn't more then 10 messages.
If I compare this to Girlfriend GPT who hovers around the 40 messages and also offers memory injection, it's hard to say Crushon AI is worth the price.
Finally, Crushon AI only offers AI roleplay and nothing more.
Crushon AI Alternatives
If for some reason Crushon AI doesn’t tickle your fancy, you are in luck.
There are tons of alternatives to choose from which honestly, deserve a blog post on their own.
So I am just going to give you my two favorite Crushon AI alternatives. 👇🏼
#1 Candy AI
Candy AI is like Crushon AI but on steroids. It lets you create insanely hot women from scratch. Both cute anime characters and realistic ones.
Candy AI is slightly more expensive if you're used to Crushon AI but the fact that it’s so freaking realistic definitely makes it up for it.
#2 SpicyChat
SpicyChat is one of my all-time favorite alternatives. It is an AI sex chatbot similar to Crushon AI but even more focused on NSFW texting.
I mean, they don’t call it SpicyChat just because they couldn’t figure out a name. 🥵
It’s also very affordable and offers thousands of AI characters to choose from.
So Should You Buy Crushon aI?
No. I do not recommend Crushon Ai.
Lot's of people recommend it and say it's one of the best AI sex bots that exist in the world. But when it comes to NSFW content, chat monitoring is an absolute no-go. Crushon AI clearly states that they will take a peak at your chats for 'business purposes' which could mean anything.
Not to mention the conversation quality is not more then decent, it lacks an image generator and the memory limit is just trash.
I highly recommend Girlfriend GPT instead.
