Leaving Janitor AI? Where to go instead
Janitor AI is free, huge and bring-your-own-model, but it's text only and slow at busy times. Switch to JuicyChat for memory, Kindroid for unlimited free chat plus voice, SpicyChat for another giant community library, or CrushOn.AI for a choice of AI models without setting up a proxy.
Not ranked: each pick is here for the one thing you would switch for. Picked for what Janitor users usually want more of: memory, voice, speed, or model choice without a proxy. Prices are as recorded on each listing.

Which Janitor AI alternative fits?
Memory across a long story
A community library plus your own characters, with memory that carries a long story, and a phone-friendly site.
The catch: Free is a small daily allowance, and voice and pictures need a paid plan. Its privacy policy lets your data be used for advertising with third parties.
Voice, selfies and one deep companion
Unlimited free text on its Lite model, plus voice calls and selfies, which Janitor doesn't do.
The catch: It's one deeply customised companion rather than a library of strangers' bots. Buy on the web: $13.99 a month there against $15.99 in the app stores.
Another giant community library
The closest in feel: a huge tagged community library with lorebooks, personas and group chats.
The catch: Memory is its weak spot on long stories, and voice replies are only on the €29.95 top tier.
Model choice without a proxy
Several AI models to switch between mid-story, without setting up a proxy.
The catch: Mozilla's privacy review gave it its worst rating, so keep personal details out. Free is 100 messages a month.

How to narrow your choice
Know what you're leaving
Janitor's free side is unusually generous: unlimited chats on its standard models and about 9,000 tokens of memory. What it doesn't do is voice, pictures or speed at peak times. Pick the alternative that fixes your actual complaint, because none of them beats Janitor on price. Staying put? Our Janitor AI help guide fixes slow replies, queues and proxies.
Free isn't the same everywhere
Kindroid is the only pick here with unlimited free chat, on its Lite model. SpicyChat's free plan carries ads, CrushOn.AI gives 100 messages a month and JuicyChat a small daily allowance. Your Janitor characters won't move across, so keep your favourite bot descriptions in a private note.
Explore all Chat listings or read our privacy guide for the account and data questions to ask.
