Chub AI alternative: adult platforms with firmer moderation and photo rules

Chub AI (chub.ai) is a community hub for character cards, lorebooks and presets, with its own models and bring-your-own API connections. Its privacy terms are among the stronger ones in this niche. People look for a Chub AI alternative for other reasons: the one paid plan is payable in crypto only, refunds are not offered unless granted, moderation relies on reports and "primitive word filters", and real-person photos are only "frowned upon" rather than banned outright.

The three services below address those points.

• Janitor AI. The closest format to Chub, with millions of community bots and optional outside model connections, but with more written rules: image guidelines that prohibit sexual imagery in bot pictures, a zero-tolerance policy on minor-coded characters, and k-ID age checks in Australia, Brazil and the UK. The built-in model is free.
• Nectar AI (https://nectar.ai/). Image uploads in character creation are not permitted, real-person characters are banned, and the FAQ prohibits content depicting minors whether age is stated, implied or suggested by appearance. Its plan data lists a free tier of 15 messages and 10 images a day (October 23, 2026). Its official pages disagree on age rules, which is worth knowing. Official site: nectar.ai.
• Kindroid (https://kindroid.ai/). The most explicit photo rule of the group: uploading images of real people other than yourself is against the terms. Published moderation guidelines explain what is detected and how appeals work, and NSFW content is permitted for adults. Prices appear only at checkout. Official site: kindroid.ai.

Pricing. The subscription page shows one plan, $20 a month with unlimited messages, payable in crypto only (checked October 23, 2026). New accounts get one-time trial credits for "a few dozen messages". The terms state Chub "does not offer refunds unless explicitly granted by the Company."

Moderation. The terms describe tag moderators, admin removal of illegal projects, comment reports and "primitive word filters". The terms ban sexualized content involving anyone who is or appears to be under 18. In a user-written catalogue, though, enforcement depends heavily on reports.

Real-person images. The terms say "Real photos of real people are frowned upon, and will be removed if illegal." That is not an explicit ban on uploading other people's photos or on deepfakes.

Tracking. The page code loads Google advertising and analytics tags and a Cloudflare analytics script that the privacy text does not list.

In fairness: Chub's privacy policy says it collects only what the site needs, does not disclose data without consent, and does not use private chats for training. A permanent account deletion button is in settings. If those points matter most to you, Chub may still be the right choice.

Janitor AI's privacy policy lists chats among collected data without a training switch, and it checks age through k-ID in Australia, Brazil and the UK. Nectar AI's FAQ says content is not used to train external models, and its NSFW mode is for verified adults. Kindroid says it does not sell or share data and can ask for a Yoti age check.

• You want the same community-card feel: Janitor AI, with optional outside model connections like Chub.
• You want a hard rule against real-person images: Nectar AI or Kindroid.
• You want a daily free allowance: Nectar AI's plan data lists 15 messages and 10 images a day; Chub's free credits are one-time.

If you used your own API key on Chub, remember that the outside provider's privacy policy covered those chats too, regardless of Chub's terms. More options: the roleplay category and the Janitor AI alternatives.
