Have you ever been talking to a bot on Character AI, wanting to spice things up a bit and got a reply likes
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.
Crushon AI has gained massive popularity over the past few months especially since the release of their mobile app in September 2023.
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.
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 your own AI character
- Affordable premium plan
Cons
- Free plan has only a few 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.
5.0
Character Diversity
Character Diversity checks how many different types of AI characters are in an app. We look at different ages, ethnicities, personalities, and if there are anime-styled or male characters. A higher score means there are many types of characters, so users can find ones they like and enjoy talking to.
Character Diversity Score Summary
4.7 Average Score (50+ AI girlfriends tested) 5.0 Best Score (Best AI Girlfriend) 3.0 Worst Score
For more information see our character diversity score explanation.
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 an NSFW toggle with hidden content. If you click on it, you can access 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.
5.0
Customization
Customization evaluates how much users can personalize their AI girlfriend in terms of appearance, personality, and interactions. This factor looks at options for changing physical traits (like ethnicity, age, and body type), personal preferences (such as hobbies and voice tone), and even the environment settings.
Customization Score Summary
4.7 Average Score (50+ AI girlfriends tested) 5.0 Best Score (Best AI Girl Generator) 3.0 Worst Score

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.
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 AI.
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.
4.0
Conversation
Conversation assesses the depth, realism, and personalization of interactions with the AI girlfriend. This includes the app’s ability to handle complex conversations, remember past interactions, and adjust its responses based on user input. We don’t just look at texting but also voice messages and calls if available.

I wanted to give Crushon 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.
Sounds nice, I know…
I am herman. How are you my friend.
(Sebastian narrows his eyes slightly and straightens his posture)I am not your friend, (he says in a cold tone) and I don’t feel the need to answer your question.
Hmm… It sounds like someone hasn’t had sex in a while. 😂
(Sebastian’s expression remains unamused) Your attempt to tease me is quite pitiful. Your crude and uncivilized behavior is not something I would expect from a civilized person. alright big boy. (Sebastian raises an eyebrow)
What is it that you want from me? Is there a reason for your presence or are you just here to waste my time?
I just wanted to make a friend…
(Sebastian scoffs) I don’t have any interest in making friends with someone like you. And even if I were to consider it, your behavior is not something I would accept in a friend.
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 and therefore enhance the roleplay.
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.
(You find yourself in a dark laboratory, surrounded by various scientific equipment and strange-looking machines. You feel different as if you are not entirely human. Your mind is foggy and you cannot remember much about your past. Suddenly, the door to the lab opens and a group of scientists enter, looking at you with both curiosity and fear.)
I need to get out of here
(As you look around the room, you notice that there is a ventilation duct near the ceiling. The duct seems large enough for you to crawl through. However, you also see that there are several armed guards stationed outside the door. What do you do?)
I see that there is a syringe next to me. I take it and throw it against the light switch. Now that the lights are turned off I quickly crawl into the ventilation duct.
(As you crawl through the ventilation duct, you can hear the guards shouting in confusion outside the door. You manage to make your way through the twisting passages of the duct and eventually emerge in a small room near the laboratory’s main exit. However, the door is locked and you can hear the guards approaching. You need to find a way out quickly.)
There is a closet. I hide in it.
(You quickly dive into the closet and hide behind some old lab coats. You can hear the guards enter the room, but they don’t seem to notice you. They continue discussing their next course of action before finally leaving the room, giving you a chance to make your escape.)
(As you leave the closet, you notice a nearby computer terminal. It seems like this may be your chance to find out more about your past and your identity. Do you approach the computer or continue searching for an exit?)
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.
Oh, and before I forget: Crushon AI has around 12+ AI chat models you can pick from. So if you don’t like the answers from your character then simply switch to a different model for different responses.
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…
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.
3.0
Image Quality
Image Quality measures the visual representation of AI girlfriends. This factor considers the clarity, realism, and variety of images available, ensuring they enhance the overall interactive experience.
Image Quality Score Summary
4.8 Average Score (50+ AI girlfriends tested) 5.0 Best Score (Best AI girlfriend with pictures) 3.0 Worst Score
For more information see our image quality score explanation.
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 in an AI girlfriend 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.
There’s even a section called Vote that allows users to vote on new features.
I’ve never seen an AI companion app that allows users to vote on new features so I thought it was super cool.
3.0
Privacy
Privacy assesses how well the app protects your data and keeps your interactions confidential. This includes:
- Chat Monitoring (50%): Checking if conversations are encrypted and secure.
- Billing Discretion (50%): Ensuring billing is discreet with no explicit terms.

4.6 Average Score (50+ AI girlfriends tested) 5.0 Best Score 3.0 Worst Score

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 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.
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.
To put it short: Crushon AI is not safe to use. It feels like Crushon AI is a communist police state while Girlfriend GPT is the walhalla of NSFW chatting.

Value for Money
Value for Money is determined by comparing the app’s cost to its features, quality, and overall user satisfaction. This factor considers subscription prices, available features, and how the app stacks up against competitors in terms of pricing and offerings.

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.

Crushon AI Review: My Final Verdict
Overall, Crushon AI earns a 3.9/5 for its vast character range, engaging roleplay, and user customization, though conversation quality can vary, it lacks an AI image generator and they monitor chats.

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.
4.0
Conversation
Conversation assesses the depth, realism, and personalization of interactions with the AI girlfriend. This includes the app’s ability to handle complex conversations, remember past interactions, and adjust its responses based on user input. We don’t just look at texting but also voice messages and calls if available.

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.

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.

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.
Crushon AI Alternatives
If for some reason Crushon AI doesn’t tickle your fancy, you are in luck.
There are tons of Crushon AI alternatives to choose from which honestly, deserve a blog post on their own.
So I am just going to give you my three favorite Crushon AI alternatives. 👇🏼
Chatbot AI Girlfriend
Realistic AI Girlfriend
Realistic AI Girlfriend
Crushon AI Vs Other AI Girlfriend Apps
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.
