• How to Use CrushOn AIAI in 5 Minutes · 2y ago · 2:37 · 57.9K views

  Neutral, no verdict · what the video says

  A two-and-a-half-minute walkthrough from 2024 that explains the basics: sign in with Google, Discord or email, pick a character from the main page, and type. It then spends most of its length on the create-character form, name, square avatar, greeting, public or private visibility, genre and optional details such as age and personality. The one claim it makes about the product is that the chat is 'more immersive and unfiltered' than rivals; there is no test, no pricing and no verdict, just the steps.

  My read: The most-watched CrushOn video is a how-to, not a review, which tells me the audience arrives already sold on the idea and wants to know where the buttons are. I agree with its one claim: the unfiltered toggle did what it said in my test. Its view count is a demand signal, not a quality one.

• How to Enable NSFW on CrushOn AIAI in 5 Minutes · 2y ago · 1:24 · 46.9K views

  Neutral, no verdict · what the video says

  An 84-second tutorial on switching the chat to NSFW. Log in, find the 'unfiltered' switch, confirm the warning that you are about to see unfiltered content, and the character list changes to show the ones marked unfiltered. The presenter opens one, asks 'is this chat NSFW?' and reads the bot's reply confirming mature themes and explicit language. The whole process is one switch and one confirmation dialogue, with no age check beyond the account's self-declared birthday, and no opinion offered either way.

  My read: Second most-watched video, and it is the same question as the first: how do I get the unfiltered version. Together the two tutorials are over 100,000 views, so the brand's draw is the lack of a filter. I agree the toggle is trivial; the press is right that a self-declared age is all that stands behind it.

• Crushon AI Review 2025 | The Best AI Girlfriend Website?BestAIGirlfriends · 1y ago · 10:52 · 12.9K views

  Positive · what the video says

  The only real review in the set, eleven minutes with an affiliate link. The presenter tests the free model, switches to a paid 16K-context model and finds the replies noticeably longer and more detailed, runs a four-character group chat, builds a character from the long creation form, and walks through pricing: free with 100 message credits a month and a seven-day deletion of inactive chats, then $5.99, $15 and $50 tiers with up to 60% off annually. It scores the character community 10, the chat 10 and features 8, for 9.3 out of 10, with the lack of images, voice and video as the only deduction.

  My read: The score is high but the reasoning is sound: this is a roleplay site, not a full companion app. I agree on the creator community and the jump in quality when you switch model. I partly disagree on the chat score, because the free model repeats itself after a while and the premium Claude models refuse scenes that Reddit says they used to allow.

• CrushOn AI: How to Turn On Unfiltered (Tutorial)AI in 5 Minutes · 1y ago · 1:10 · 12.3K views

  Neutral, no verdict · what the video says

  A 70-second tutorial for the mobile app rather than the website: open the app, tap the profile icon in the bottom-right corner, open settings, scroll to 'other settings' and flip the 'unfiltered content' toggle. The video's only informational value is that it confirms the Android app exists and has the same switch as the site; the narration is synthetic and ends with a reminder to use the feature responsibly. No testing, no verdict and no mention of what the filter actually blocks when it is on.

  My read: Three of the seven videos are about one toggle, which is the clearest statement of what people come to CrushOn for. I agree with the steps. What none of the toggle videos says, and what Reddit does, is that the switch only changes the site's own settings; the underlying model can still refuse.

• How To Get UNLIMITED FREE Messages On CrushOn.AI - Complete Guide 2025Binary Techs · 10mo ago · 2:18 · 1.3K views

  Neutral, no verdict · what the video says

  A guide to using the site without paying. The presenter opens the Bonus page and works through the daily tasks: a check-in worth 50 coins a day, 10 coins for a daily conversation, 10 more for viewing three memories, plus one-off missions further down. Coins are redeemed for message credits at 100 coins for 100 messages, which is also the floor before you can redeem at all. The title promises 'unlimited free messages'; what the video actually shows is a few hundred messages a month if you log in every day and complete every task.

  My read: 'Unlimited' is the title, 'a few hundred a month' is the content. I agree the daily check-in is what makes the free tier usable at all, and it is more generous than most rivals' demos. I disagree with the title: in my test the coins ran out well before a long roleplay did.

• How to Use CrushOn AI 2026 | Character Creation Tutorial (Full Guide)Just Curious Channel · 6mo ago · 2:15 · 1.1K views

  Neutral, no verdict · what the video says

  A 2026 click-by-click guide: choose a gender preference, sign in with Google, open a character and complete 'adult verification', which here means typing an email address and a name, then chat, collect daily bonus coins, and create a character from a photo, a name and a personality. The pricing it reads out, premium 'around $79', a plan 'about $25', elite $66.70 and imperial $150, matches no price list I have seen on the site or in the press, so I treat that section as unreliable. The rest is accurate but says nothing about quality.

  My read: A synthetic-voice tutorial with a pricing section I cannot reconcile with the site. I agree with the sign-up steps and the point that 'verification' is a form you fill in yourself. On the prices I disagree outright: the tiers I tested and the press agree on $5.99, $14.99 and $49.90 a month.

• Crushon AI Review (2026)Guide Zone · 5mo ago · 1:41 · 957 views

  Neutral, no verdict · what the video says

  Titled a review, it is a 100-second tour of the left-hand menu: recent chats, the create button with its picture, scene card, status tracker and voice, name, age and gender fields, the creator ranking, the profile page with favourites and saved memories, pricing, the coin store for people without a plan, and the bonus missions. It lists a 'voice' field in the character form and a coin store that sells access to premium features piecemeal, both of which the 2025 review did not have. No opinion is expressed and nothing is tested.

  My read: Useful only as a map of what the 2026 interface contains. I agree it is a fair list, and the status tracker and scene card are real. The voice field is the one item I would caveat: in my month I never heard a character speak, so whatever that field drives is not voice calls.

  Mixed · what the thread says

  A January 2024 outage thread (44 upvotes): users were logged out with a 403 error, the site lagged and then dropped them entirely, and one poster traced it to a 'delayed connect error' on the server side. The original poster updates twice, confirms via Twitter that the site was down, and asks everyone to stay calm because maintenance 'monthly, decently bad scenario, weekly' is to be expected. The telling comment is the user relieved to learn it was an outage and not a ban for something they had said, which says a lot about how users expect moderation to work.

  “Oh thank god I thought I got banned for something I said” — u/Ok_Buy_1240, +4

  My read: Old, and about reliability rather than the product. I had no outages in my month, so I agree with the poster's own read that this was routine maintenance. What I take from it is the reflex to assume a ban: on a site where one toggle opens unfiltered content, people are nervous about where the line is.

  r/Chatbots · u/HelpfulReplacement28 · June 6, 2025 · 40 upvotes · 34 comments · open on Reddit

  Negative · what the thread says

  The most upvoted thread about the brand (40 upvotes, 34 comments, June 2025) is a leaving post: the poster calls the site a 'burning dumpster fire' that 'ruined pretty much anything good about it' and asks about Janitor and SillyTavern, wanting custom characters, a reasonable subscription and memory good enough for slow-burn roleplay. The complaint the replies pick up is the coin and credit system, and the poster later reports that running a model through an API on SillyTavern costs a fraction of the CrushOn annual plan. Rival pitches (Rubii, Kindroid, DreamJourney) fill the rest.

  “I did the math, my annual sub on crushon gets decimated value wise by just paying for the API on my own.” — u/HelpfulReplacement28, +1

  My read: The loudest thread, and the one the numbers argue with. Worldwide traffic doubled in the nine months after this was posted, so whatever changed in mid-2025 did not drive the audience away. I disagree with 'ruined': the site I tested in September worked. I agree on the credit system, which is the real cost of a long roleplay here.

  r/Crushon · u/hibridgirly · May 16, 2025 · 10 upvotes · 10 comments · open on Reddit

  Negative · what the thread says

  A user loves a well-made bot but it 'keeps repeating itself over and over', even after switching models several times; another says 'I'm having the same experience', and a third describes Grok and Magnum giving the same answer ten times in a multi-character scene. The replies are workarounds rather than denials: refresh or edit the repeated reply every time, because letting it stand teaches the bot that repetition is wanted, try another model, or add a custom instruction demanding every response be unique. Nobody suggests the problem goes away on its own.

  “This can definitely happen, if you ever see your bot begin to repeat phrases or sentences in their replies the first thing you can do is refresh the message.” — u/Protean_wings, +5

  My read: Repetition is real and the fix is labour. I agree with the thread: the free model looped on me within a long session, and editing replies did help. Here I partly disagree with the advice to keep switching models, because on CrushOn that means spending credits to find out which one behaves today.

• r/Crushon · u/AggressiveChip4406I want To make my first Bot...Hey! I’ve been using Crushon for a while now and have really enjoyed interacting with the bots, some of them are incredibly well-made. I’ve been meaning to try making one myself, but honestly, I’m not quite sure where to begin. This would be my first attempt, and I really want to do it right. If you're someone who regularly creates good bots and has experience with structuring them well, I’d really appreciate it if you could DM me a screenshot of how you typically set yours up. It doesn’t have to be super detailed, just enough to give me a starting point or a sense of direction.

  Positive · what the thread says

  A long-time user who has 'really enjoyed interacting with the bots' asks how to make a first one well. The replies point to a community-made tutorial bot that displays its own definition, shows how to make a character send pictures and how to build a status tracker, and lay out the craft rules: mention the user sparingly in the first message, never speak for the user, and never publish without testing. Another reply says searching for 'template' or 'guide' inside the site turns up creator-written how-tos.

  “I’ve been using Crushon for a while now and have really enjoyed interacting with the bots, some of them are incredibly well-made.” — u/AggressiveChip4406, +9

  My read: The creator community the YouTube review scored 10 out of 10, seen from the inside. I agree: the best bots I chatted with were user-made, and the guidance here is better than the official documentation. A site whose users teach each other to write characters has something Candy's preset library does not.

I literally made a post here for the first time, just to vent about it. I'm trying to talk to a Power Girl AI, and it was alright until I mentioned a specific quote from the OC character I created, where they were reminiscing about their past. The AI then got stuck in a loop, refusing to respond normally because it basically assumed the "past" part of my quote was somehow "illegal sexual material". I tried explaining to it that I didn't break any rules (I said NOTHING sexual WHATSOEVER, like not even a single word), but it kept repeating "I cannot create explicit content" over and over and over again like a broken record. Then, I say "you're literally a NSFW verified bot, how the hell are you not able to do explicit content".

  Negative · what the thread says

  A frustrated poster on the brand's own subreddit says a bot marked NSFW got stuck repeating 'I cannot create explicit content' after an innocent line about a character's past, and that NSFW quality has declined over the past year. The most useful reply explains that the unfiltered switch is only a CrushOn setting layered over models that have their own refusals, that some models are sensitive regardless, and that the fix is to delete the message and regenerate rather than argue. Another recommends DeepSeek as the model that is 'down for anything'.

  “It largely depends on the specific model you’re using. Some are very sensitive to NSFW regardless of whether the bot has its filters removed or not.” — u/samur_a1, +3

  My read: This is the thread that explains the toggle videos. I agree: in my test the switch changed what the site allowed, not what every model would write, and the Claude models refused scenes the DeepSeek option took in stride. Picking a model is part of using CrushOn, whether you want it to be or not.

• r/Crushon · u/EconomistPresent8406Sonnet 4.5 and 4.6I've been noticing issues with both Sonnet models and wanted to share feedback in case others are experiencing the same. Sonnet 4.5 feels much better for roleplay dialogue, it stays in character and gives longer, more natural responses. The problem is it refuses to continue the chat constantly. Sonnet 4.6 doesn't refuse as much, but the writing style has changed noticeably. There's way more narrative/descriptive text and the character speaks a lot less. Essentially: 4.5 has the right vibe but keeps blocking, 4.6 is more permissive but the dialogue quality took a hit. Would love to see either a fix to 4.5's refusal rate or some tuning on 4.6 to bring back that more dialogue-focused response style. Anyone else running into this?

  Mixed · what the thread says

  A June 2026 feedback post about the two Claude Sonnet options on the site: 4.5 stays in character and writes longer, more natural dialogue but 'refuses to continue the chat constantly'; 4.6 refuses less but drowns the dialogue in narration. Replies confirm both problems, mourn a retired 'ultra Sonnet 4' that had neither, and point out that the refusals come from the model's maker, not from CrushOn, so no site setting will fix them. One commenter asks the bot to stop describing what is happening outside the room every message.

  “experiencing the same issues here as well, sonnet 4.5 also refuses nsfw occasionally. didn’t have these issues with the retired model ultra sonnet 4” — u/NoPart6461, +3

  My read: A premium-tier complaint, and a fair one. I agree: the Sonnet options wrote the best prose of anything I tried on the site and refused the most. The practical read is that the top models are for story-first users, and the unfiltered promise on the homepage depends on which name you pick in the model menu.

  Mixed · what the thread says

  An unanswered request for a list of which of the site's many models suits plot, story, safe-for-work chat and NSFW, which one is 'the least dirty', and for creators to state which model a bot was tested on. The poster's real complaint is in the last line: they spend more of their time fiddling with models and settings than actually roleplaying. It is a request for the kind of guidance the site does not provide, and the fact that nobody replied in the brand's own subreddit tells its own story.

  “Cause I spend most of my time with the models and modes than the roleplay it self half the time..” — u/CocoaMoonBat, +3

  My read: Model sprawl as a user problem. I agree: with more than ten models, temperature and length settings, the first week on CrushOn is spent tuning rather than talking. Here I partly disagree with the poster's cure, because a 'best model' label would be out of date within a month, as the Sonnet thread shows.

  Negative · what the thread says

  An account disabled 'suddenly' for a community-guidelines violation the poster is sure they did not commit: one bot set to unfiltered, no NSFW art, no links. They ask how long appeals take and whether a Discord ticket reaches a human faster. The one reply (19 comments in total, mostly hidden) is bleak: support is 'entirely scripted', appeals seem to be handled by an AI that does not read them, and after a month of trying the commenter simply made a new account and reposted the same bot, which stayed up.

  “Their 'support' (if it can even be called that) is entirely scripted to the point of repeating the same two or three things to you” — u/Silvertongue1001, +-1

  My read: The support side of a 15-person company running millions of users. I did not need support in my test, so I cannot confirm the scripted replies, but a one-person answer that goes unchallenged for 19 comments is not a good sign. If your characters matter to you, keep copies of their definitions outside the site.

  Neutral · what the thread says

  A new user asks the basics, is it free, is it paid, how does it work, in a post that also pleads for a banned friend's reinstatement (a moderator declines: 'he received many warnings'). The useful answer is the clearest description of the economy I found anywhere: yes, it is free, but you complete daily tasks for coins, coins buy credits, and credits pay for messages at one coin, one credit, one message. You can chat with other users' bots or build your own, public or private, and the site's own instructions are enough to get started.

  “Yes, it's free, but you have to complete the daily task to receive the coins, and when you have coins, you can use them to buy more credits” — u/Enough-Counter-8317, +4

  My read: The free tier explained in one comment. I agree with every word: the daily check-in is the free plan, and if you skip a few days the credits stop. The moderation sub-plot is a small signal too: the subreddit is actively policed, which matches the appeals complaints further down.

• Janitor AI vs CrushOn AI vs SpicyChat: $200/mo Gap [2026]tech-insider.org · September 6, 2026

  Mixed · what the article says

  A long three-way comparison with Janitor AI and SpicyChat. Its most useful point is a distinction: Janitor's 'no filter' is a visibility toggle over whatever model you connect, while CrushOn and SpicyChat build NSFW into the product, so CrushOn's promise is closer to true by design but limited to what the company permits. It describes CrushOn as credit-based, anime and fandom-led, with group chat and a community library, and flags that 2026 price lists disagree with each other, citing $5.99 Standard with about 2,000 credits and $14.99 Premium with 6,000.

  My take: The clearest explanation of what 'unfiltered' means here, and I agree with it. The site decides, not the model menu, except that the Reddit Sonnet thread shows the model's maker can still refuse. The price inconsistency it flags is real; $5.99 is what I paid for Standard.

• CrushOn AI Tips and Tricks: Better Chats for Beginners 2026Tycoonstory Media · August 25, 2026

  Neutral · what the article says

  A beginner's guide rather than a review: start with a scene not a biography, write behaviours instead of adjectives, use Profile Cards for your persona, change one setting at a time, pin only what matters, save memories at checkpoints and try another model before rebuilding a character. It confirms the 2026 feature set, more than ten models, long-context options, memory tools, voice features and multi-character chats, and warns that unlimited messages do not mean unlimited memory or model access.

  My take: A fair map of the controls, and the advice matches what worked for me: a short, concrete character definition beats a long one. Its 'use voice carefully' tip is the one line I could not test, since voice never surfaced on my plan.

• 9 Best CrushOn AI Alternatives in 2026 (Uncensored & Tested)About Chromebooks · July 29, 2026

  Negative · what the article says

  An alternatives roundup that frames CrushOn by its frustrations: message caps, tier-locked memory that 'evaporates' on lower plans, and text-only chat. It ranks Candy AI first because it adds images, voice and video for less than CrushOn's Standard tier, OurDream for deeper roleplay, Nomi for memory, then Janitor, Kupid, Botify, Tavern, Chai and Anima. Its comparison table lists CrushOn at $5.99 to $49.90 with a 50-a-day free cap.

  My take: Half right. I agree that memory depth follows the tier and that the caps are the cost. I disagree with 'text-only': the site sent me context-aware anime image replies in my month. They are a side feature next to Candy's image studio, but they exist.

  Mixed · what the article says

  A hands-on test that scores it 7.5 out of 10: smooth interface and conversation memory on the plus side, 'extensive personal data collection' and technical limits against. It names the operator as Peekaboo Tech Inc. of Delaware, notes an Android app at version 6.5 but no full iOS release, and reports that unfiltered mode is on by default, so the homepage shows explicit character descriptions before any warning. Sign-up is an email plus a self-declared 18+ checkbox; pricing is given as from 9.99 euros a month.

  My take: I agree with the default-on finding, which I saw too, and with the privacy caveat. Its 9.99-euro starting price does not match the $5.99 Standard tier I paid for, so I suspect it looked at a regional page.

  Mixed · what the article says

  An affiliate-disclosed list of ten alternatives that treats CrushOn as the incumbent: 'one of the top AI chatbot platforms with over 1,000 characters and minimal content restrictions', but with inconsistent response quality, a limited free tier and a library that skews to anime archetypes. It sends free-tier users to SpicyChat, visual users to Candy AI and DreamGF, and lists CrushOn at $4.99 a month with no images or voice.

  My take: The 'over 1,000 characters' line undersells it badly; the YouTube review talks of hundreds of thousands and the site shows creators with millions of interactions. I agree on the anime skew and the quality variance between models.

It credits CrushOn with the lowest prices in the category, model choice, 2025 additions of image replies and voice messaging, and group chat, then turns: a Trustpilot score of 2.1 from 14 reviews, 13 of them one star, and a Mozilla scan that found 45 trackers in under a minute including DoubleClick, with health and biometric data and the full chat history collected to train models. It names the operator as Peekaboo Tech Inc. of Delaware, with a team of about 15.

  My take: I partly disagree with the weight it puts on 14 Trustpilot reviews for a site with millions of users. The tracker finding is another matter: I agree, and it is the reason I would use a secondary email and never discuss anything real in a chat here.

• CrushOn AI Review 2026: Free Tier Tested, Is It Safe & Worth It?StartupHub.ai · April 4, 2026

  Positive · what the article says

  An affiliate-disclosed review whose verdict is that CrushOn 'works well for unfiltered, adult-oriented AI roleplay', has a real free tier and never asks for identity or payment to start. It reports 1.2 billion messages a month and 2 million weekly active users, memory depth that scales with the tier (a 2026 upgrade pushed recall past 100 messages on higher plans), synthetic voice messages on premium, and two 2026 additions, group chat and World Cards. Its price table (Basic $3.90, Standard $7.90) differs from every other source.

  My take: I agree with the verdict and the memory point. Where I disagree is the claim that the free tier is 'genuinely usable': 100 credits a month went in one session for me, and it was the daily coins, not the allowance, that kept it going.

  A June 2025 press release syndicated from Khaleej Times. It announces support for more than 17 models including Claude 3.7, GPT-4o and 'Ultra Claude 3.5 Sonnet', image-based replies that reflect the character's emotional state, and creation tools called Model Creation, Scene Cards and Target Play with memory up to 16K tokens, all 'offered entirely free and accessible without the need for user accounts'. The marketing manager, Amy Yi, is quoted.

  My take: Company copy, so I weigh it as a date stamp: image replies and Target Play arrived in mid-2025. The 'without the need for user accounts' line is not true in my experience; the site made me log in before any chat.

  My take: Useful for one thing: in mid-2025 the company itself said voice was still in development, which squares with the 2025 YouTube review finding none. Whatever voice exists now is recent and, in my month, invisible on the plan I used.

• Crushon AI Review [2025]: Could This Be Your Ideal AI Girlfriend?- Disrupt Africa · June 19, 2025

  Positive · what the article says

  A glowing review with '70% off' links that describes an 'AI Partner Creator' with realistic or stylised modes, skin tone and body sliders, high-fidelity voice calls and photorealistic image generation, priced at $14.99 a month or $7.99 annually with credit bundles from $9.99 for 100 credits. Almost none of that matches the CrushOn I used, which is a text roleplay site with anime image replies, no voice calls and $5.99 to $49.90 tiers, so I suspect a template review aimed at a different product.

  My take: I disagree with nearly all of it, not because the praise is too warm but because it describes the wrong product. Treat it as an affiliate page, not a source.

Part 7 · Method

How I measured all this

Traffic, keywords, backlinks, competitors, WHOIS

From DataForSEO, refreshed monthly. “Organic traffic” is an estimate of visits from Google results, modelled from the keywords a site ranks for. It leaves out direct visits, app traffic, paid ads and social referrals, so the real audience is bigger; that is why I also show an all-traffic popularity rank.

Brand search volume

Google Ads keyword data via DataForSEO. Google rounds these into bands, which is why months often repeat the same figure.

Domain Rating

Domain Rating by Ahrefs, a 100-point measure of backlink strength, published under Ahrefs’ Domain Rating license. The DataForSEO domain rank is a separate 100-point backlink score.

Popularity rank

The Tranco list, an academic ranking of the top million domains built from DNS and browser data; a rank, not a visit count. The Chrome UX Report tier is Google's own popularity bucket from real Chrome users.

Trends, videos, forums, press, search suggestions

Google Trends is relative interest on a 0 to 100 scale, not a count. News, YouTube, Reddit and autocomplete data come through SerpApi from public Google and YouTube results; video views are summed across the videos I found. For the most-watched videos I also pull the caption transcript through SerpApi, read it in full, and write a short account of what the video says plus my own conclusion; videos without captions are listed by title only. For Reddit I read each thread Google surfaces directly from reddit.com in a browser, record its upvotes, comment count and top comments as they stood that day, screenshot the post as it is publicly visible, and classify it after reading; threads with no analysis yet are listed by title. Press articles are read in full and classified the same way; pages that block automated readers are marked as unread. The category search check is a live Google result for the category's own term (United States, desktop) via DataForSEO. Discord counts come from the server's public invite page.

Hands-on testing

I purchased a CrushOn AI membership and used the product myself: chat, memory, images and the paid extras. My own test tells me what each feature does; the verdict on each feature comes from what users publish, because for a brand this size their view is more grounded than one reviewer's.

Rounding and independence
