Janitor AI

Verdict

Janitor AI is one of the two best free options for NSFW text roleplay. It hosts millions of characters made by its users, and you can chat with any of them at no cost on its own model.

It is text only and the interface is plain. If that is all you want, there is little reason to pay for anything else. If you want pictures or voice, look elsewhere.

What it does well

• Free chat. Its own model, JanitorLLM, costs nothing to use.
• An enormous library. Millions of user-made characters covering every trope.
• Bring your own model. Connect an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter and the writing improves. You pay that provider for what you use.
• Good search. Tags and filters make it possible to find what you want in a library that size.
• Lorebooks. Characters can carry world details and scenario notes.

Where it falls short

• Text only. It does not generate images, voice or video.
• A plain interface. It works, but it is not polished.
• The free model is the weaker one. The best results need your own key, which is no longer free.
• Quality varies. Anyone can publish a character.

Pricing

Core use is free.

If you connect your own API key, you pay the model provider directly, and the cost depends on how much you chat.

Optional paid tiers were listed at $9.99 to $25 a month in September 2026. We could not confirm them on a public page, so treat that figure as reported.

What is free

Text chat with any character on JanitorLLM.

NSFW content

Janitor AI allows uncensored adult text roleplay.

Payment and privacy

There is nothing to pay for core use. If you use your own key, your messages also pass through that provider under its terms.

We have not audited how chats are stored. Use an email address that is not tied to your name and keep identifying details out of your chats.

Who should skip it

• You want images or voice. SpicyChat AI has both on paid tiers, and Candy AI adds video.
• You do not want to manage an API key. SpicyChat AI and Crushon AI include their models.
• You want curated stories. GirlfriendGPT.
