Chub AI is the most direct answer to the fewer filters part of this list. The company says it accepts only crypto because card networks and payment processors are the main source of censorship pressure, and that its subscription supports uncensored models. For $20 per month you get unlimited access to all of its hosted language models, including Soji 1.6T 60K, which Chub says is several times larger than models on similar platforms, plus unlimited voice and multimedia generation and early access to new models. The subscription doubles as an API that works anywhere OpenAI's APIs are supported, so you can use it inside SillyTavern or other front ends. Unlimited means one user: concurrent requests return an error, and obvious key sharing leads to restrictions. New users get one-time trial credits for a few dozen messages. The crypto requirement and the power-user setup are the main barriers for casual Character.AI users.
