Janitor AI vs Character AI – After 100h testing.

Janitor AI and Character AI are the two names everyone throws around. But they’re very different experiences. Here’s the quick, Reddit-friendly rundown:

1.Character AI

Pros:

• Super polished and stable.
• Massive library of user-created characters.
• Great for casual chatting and roleplay.
• Easy interface, feels like texting a smart bot.

Cons:

• Strict filters. If you want anything spicy or unfiltered… forget it.
• Characters sometimes go off-topic or become repetitive.
• No downloadable models or real customization.

2.Janitor AI

Pros:

• Unfiltered freedom, you can create ANY type of scenario.
• More customizable personalities.
• Supports API connections (OpenAI, Kobold, etc.) for higher quality.
• Feels more “open” and less restricted.

Cons:

• Depends on external APIs for the best experience.
• More setup required than cai
• Can be buggy depending on which model you use.

Which one should you use?

If you want PG-13, smooth chats, and simple roleplay → Character AI

If you want NSFW, deep roleplay, uncensored characters, and full control → Janitor AI

At the end of the day, Character AI = polished but limited, Janitor AI = raw, powerful, but DIY.
