Leaving SpicyChat? Where to go instead
SpicyChat is built around community characters, lorebooks and personas. Janitor AI and CrushOn.AI keep the community library and add a choice of AI models; JuicyChat adds better memory; OurDream adds group media, comics and voice.
Not ranked: each pick is here for the one thing you would switch for. Keep the writing controls you actually use: a bigger media menu won't replace a lorebook, persona or editable scene if that's what makes your roleplay work.
What you'd be leaving
Hundreds of thousands of bots, and they all talk back.
Community chatbot platform with a vast, tag-searchable library, lorebooks, group chats and custom personas.

Where to go from SpicyChat
Group chat, comics and voice
Community characters and group chat, with comics, images and advertised voice.
The catch: Listed rates are billed yearly, $119.88 or $359.88 up front. Pictures, video and the better memory are paid.
Memory that carries a long roleplay
A community library with memory that carries the story across sessions, plus phone apps.
The catch: Free is a small daily allowance, and voice and pictures need a paid plan.
Free community roleplay, bring your own model
The closest swap: a huge free community library, and the option to plug in your own AI model.
The catch: The free model queues at busy times and remembers roughly 9,000 tokens. Bringing your own model takes some setup, and that provider bills you for it.
Model choice mid-story
A huge community library with several AI models to switch between when a story goes stale.
The catch: Mozilla's privacy review gave it its worst rating, so keep personal details out. Bot quality varies a lot.

How to narrow your choice
Keep the writing tools you actually use
If lorebooks and personas are the reason you use SpicyChat, a platform with more pictures may still be a poor replacement. Janitor AI and CrushOn.AI are the closest in feel; OurDream trades some writing control for media. Character formats don't move between sites, so keep your descriptions in a private note.
Treat speed and memory as test questions
Janitor AI's free model slows down in busy US evenings, and every library has weak bots alongside good ones. Run the same short scene on each free allowance, then compare a long one before you commit to a paid plan.
