CrushOn AI, operated by Peekaboo Tech Inc., built its audience as the answer to Character.AI’s content restrictions: a character-chat platform, pre-built and custom, that explicitly permits sexual and NSFW roleplay that most mainstream competitors filter out. That positioning has made it genuinely popular, and it’s also why it carries a different risk profile than the rest of this list.

Pricing and tiers

CrushOn AI’s own pricing page blocked automated access during our research, so the figures below are cross-referenced across several independent review sites rather than pulled directly from the primary source — treat them as approximate. A free tier exists, around 50 messages a day, ad-supported. Paid tiers are credit-based rather than flat message quotas: Standard around $5.99/month ($4.19 on annual billing) for roughly 2,000 messages, Premium around $14.99/month for 6,000 messages and “dedicated capacity,” and a Deluxe tier near $49.90/month for unlimited messages. Pricier underlying AI models consume credits faster than cheaper ones, so your effective message allowance depends on which model you’re chatting with.

One detail worth flagging directly: billing is processed through a third-party statement descriptor that reads “subscribestar.com” rather than anything referencing CrushOn, which several users have reported mistaking for fraud on their bank statements. It’s a legitimate payment processor relationship, as far as we could determine, but it’s a genuinely confusing thing to see on a card statement and worth knowing in advance.

Content policy

Per its own published guidelines, CrushOn permits partial nudity and explicit female-anatomy content in chat but disallows male genitalia and disallows photorealistic depictions of real people — a narrower and more specific line than “anything goes.” Character creation is deep, covering appearance, personality, and backstory, and a voice-message feature is available on premium tiers, described in independent reviews as functional but noticeably synthetic.

Privacy — the weak point

This is where CrushOn AI scores worst in our research. Third-party privacy auditors, the Mozilla Foundation’s Privacy Not Included project and the VerifyWise AI Trust Index, found the platform’s policy discloses collection of unusually broad data categories for a chat app, including biometric data (face/voice), location, financial information, and — stated explicitly in the policy text — sexual-health-related data. Chat content is used to train the platform’s AI models, the policy claims without linking output back to individual users, but doesn’t describe a clear opt-out mechanism. Retention is open-ended (“as long as reasonably necessary”), and neither auditor could confirm standard encryption practices from the public-facing policy. Age verification is a self-attestation checkbox, not a document or biometric check. VerifyWise’s overall data-safety grade for CrushOn AI was an F.

What users report

Trustpilot sentiment is thin and skews sharply negative, roughly 2.1–2.2 out of 5 from around 14–15 reviews, with about 87% at one star, though that’s a small enough sample that it shouldn’t be read as definitive. Recurring complaints center on the AI ignoring detailed character specifications and producing generic output, memory and context loss after backend model updates, Discord-only support described as slow, and a no-refund policy applied to annual and credit purchases.

The bottom line

CrushOn AI delivers on the specific promise it makes, looser content restrictions than most competitors, but the privacy picture is the weakest in this category, and the billing-descriptor confusion is a real, reported friction point. If permissive content matters to you but you want a cleaner privacy posture, weigh it against Candy AI, which discloses more specifically what it does with your data even though it also trains on it.
