This page compares two AI companion apps — adult content discussed. You must be 18+ to enter.
ExitCandy.ai (7.2) and CrushOn.AI (7.6) sit close together in our overall scores but reach them from opposite directions. Candy.ai is the most visually polished product in the category — a deep character wizard, an image-generation loop that's the actual point, and voice calls with continuity — but it pairs that with the shortest free runway we've found (roughly five messages) and the worst billing, refund and cancellation complaints of any product here that hasn't been breached. CrushOn.AI is the cheapest credible paid entry in the category and the only app that lets you swap models mid-conversation, but its own score was pulled down by a named privacy-audit finding. This page puts their actual numbers next to each other.
Every figure below comes from our full reviews of Candy.ai and CrushOn.AI — nothing new is asserted on this page.
| Candy.ai | CrushOn.AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Review score | 7.2 | 7.6 |
| Core idea | The most visually polished product in the category — a deep create wizard and an image-generation loop that's the actual product, not a bolt-on | Cheap-entry character chat built around the richest earn-and-return progression loop we've found in this category, closer to a mobile game than a chat app |
| Free tier | Roughly five messages and one trial image before a hard redirect to payment — the shortest free runway we found in this category, effectively a demo | Roughly 50 msgs/day (2026), 8K context, conversations expire after 7 days of inactivity, ads between sessions |
| Entry paid price | Premium annual, ~$5.99/mo headline — but that only covers text chat; images, voice and video draw a separate token meter, and engaged users report real spend of $25–60/month | Standard, $5.99/mo — the lowest credible paid price we found in this category (~2,000 msgs/mo, voice, “Pro” models, ~50 images/mo), as a flat subscription with no meter |
| Pricing structure | Dual system: subscription for chat, tokens for anything visual or audible (~2/image, ~3/min of calls, 12–20/video); the “70% off” banner is permanent and functions as the actual price | Four flat tiers, $5.99 → $14.99 → $39.99–$49.99 — genuinely unstable across sources, one citing a tier as high as $199.99/mo, but no token meter on top |
| Distinctive feature | The image-request loop — a dedicated “Ask” button reportedly outperforms typed requests, batch generation runs up to 64 variations, and voice calls show the token cost before you use it | Swap between 17+ models inside the same active conversation, reportedly including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o mini and DeepSeek variants — nothing else in the category offers this at this price |
| Memory | Rated highly short-to-mid-term by testers, but there is no user-visible memory-editing surface at all — when it drifts, you cannot see or fix what's stored | Marketed on “Longest Memory” per its own April 2025 press release, but reported collapsing quickly, and an unannounced April 2026 model swap wiped context for paying users; does offer pinned “manual memory anchors” and auto-summarisation, which Candy.ai lacks entirely |
| Trust / privacy record | No independent privacy audit on record either way, but the worst billing, refund and cancellation complaints of any unbreached product here, including a reported edge case where resetting your password deletes your entire chat and image history | Mozilla's Privacy Not Included project found 45 trackers firing within one minute, “health data” referenced 23 times in the privacy policy, and conversations reportedly stored unencrypted — specifically why our score moved down (8.6 → 7.6); no reported breach |
| Editorial vs. user ratings | ~4.5/5 on affiliate review sites vs. ~3.7–3.8/5 on Trustpilot (~381 reviews) — a barbell distribution, roughly 50% five-star and 23% one-star, not a bell curve | ~4.1/5 on affiliate review sites vs. ~2.1–2.2/5 on Trustpilot (~14 reviews, reportedly ~86% one-star) |
| NSFW handling | Marketed heavily on NSFW imagery, but users report random censorship on images despite that marketing | Off by default, behind an “Unfiltered” switch with a confirmation dialog, flippable per session; browse is popularity-first with full profile cards |
| Native app | Not documented as having a native app listing in our review | No App Store presence — web, plus a manually sideloaded Android APK |
| Known friction | Billing, refund and cancellation stories dominate one-star reviews; the token system draws “constant pressure to purchase” complaints; age verification reportedly failing in some regions, locking out paying users | Support “ignoring tickets” is the most-cited complaint; memory collapse on the tier marketed on memory; silent backend model swaps wiping weeks of character context |

Image generation is the point, not a feature — you want in-character photos that actually reflect the character you built, a deep creation wizard, and voice calls with continuity. The tradeoff is severe: the shortest free runway in the category, a token meter that reportedly runs $25–60/month against a $5.99 headline, no way to see or fix your character's memory when it drifts, and the worst billing/refund/cancellation complaints of any unbreached product we've reviewed.
You want the cheapest credible flat entry price in this category, a real free tier to try first, and the option to switch models mid-conversation the moment one starts writing badly. The tradeoff is a named independent privacy-audit finding (trackers, unencrypted storage, "health data" language in the policy) and a documented incident where a backend model swap wiped paying users' memory.
Neither app is the right pick if what you actually want is a specific evaluation of one of them on its own — read the full Candy.ai review or CrushOn.AI review for pricing tables, full FAQs and everything this page had to leave out.
CrushOn.AI rates higher on our review scores (7.6 vs 7.2). Candy.ai is the most visually polished product we've reviewed, with an image-generation loop that's the core of the product rather than a bolt-on, but it has the shortest free runway in the category (roughly five messages) and the worst billing, refund and cancellation complaints of any product here that hasn't been breached. CrushOn.AI is the cheapest credible entry price in the category with a feature nothing else offers — switching models mid-conversation — but its own score was pulled down by a named privacy-audit finding.
CrushOn.AI, clearly. Its Standard tier is $5.99/mo flat for roughly 2,000 messages, voice and about 50 images. Candy.ai's headline price is also $5.99/mo on the annual plan, but that only covers text chat — images, voice and video draw from a separate token meter, and engaged users report real spend landing at $25–60/month. CrushOn.AI's pricing tiers are reported as genuinely unstable across sources, but the structure itself is a flat subscription, not a meter.
Candy.ai, by design — image generation is the core loop of the product, not a feature added to a chat app. The create wizard is deep (style, ethnicity, age, hair, eyes, body type, attire, personality), photos reportedly come back matching saved character attributes, and a dedicated “Ask” button reportedly produces better results than typed requests. The tradeoff is the token meter behind every image, and users report random censorship on images despite the NSFW marketing. CrushOn.AI has Image Replies (characters answering with mood-consistent images) but image generation isn't the product's defining feature the way it is for Candy.ai.
Neither has a clean record, but the concerns are different in kind. CrushOn.AI's score was moved down specifically because Mozilla's Privacy Not Included project found 45 trackers firing within one minute of loading the site, “health data” referenced 23 times in its privacy policy, and conversations reportedly stored unencrypted — no reported breach, but loose handling. Candy.ai carries no equivalent independent privacy audit in our review, but its billing and refund practices are the worst of any unbreached product here: wrongful charges, unhonoured refunds, and a reported edge case where resetting your password deletes your entire chat and image history.
CrushOn.AI — and per our review, nothing else in this category offers it at this price. You can swap between 17+ models inside the same active chat, reportedly including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o mini and DeepSeek variants. Candy.ai has no equivalent feature; its chat is a single continuous experience built around the image-generation loop instead.
Both are reported as unreliable long-term, but for different reasons. Candy.ai's memory is rated highly short-to-mid-term by testers, but there is no user-visible memory-editing surface at all — when it drifts, you cannot see what's stored or fix it. CrushOn.AI was marketed on “Longest Memory” per its own April 2025 press release, but one hands-on review reports it collapsing quickly, and an unannounced April 2026 model swap wiped context for paying subscribers. CrushOn.AI does at least offer pinning (“manual memory anchors”) and auto-summarisation as user-facing tools, which Candy.ai lacks entirely.
