Janitor AI review

Janitor AI is the closest thing to a drop-in Character.AI replacement for people who mostly browse and chat with community characters. The help desk counts over 1.4 million public bots, and the free tier includes unlimited chats with standard models plus a context limit of around 9k tokens. Janitor says it will always keep a free option. The paid Janitor+ plan, listed on the US App Store at $12.99 per month or $99 per year, adds five times more context, priority access for faster replies and monthly swipes with its best models. The bigger draw for power users is proxy support: the help center walks through connecting a model from OpenRouter, so you can pick the model and filters that suit your story. The mobile apps ship with NSFW content off by default to meet store guidelines, while the website handles moderation differently. Expect a busy interface and some setup if you go the proxy route.
