Both are big community libraries with free chat. PolyBuzz lets you start as a guest, offers more than 20 million characters, plays voiced replies and has iPhone and Android apps. Its private chats are not filtered, while public characters are moderated. Poly Standard at $9.90 a month removes ads and adds stronger memory models. It publishes no refund terms.
CrushOn AI's free messages run out, after which chat drops to a slower free model with limited memory, and adult content needs an age check such as a small card verification. Its paid tiers start at $5.99 a month ($12.99 month to month) and it runs group chats, personas and scenarios. It is web only, run by TECHIEPIE LTD in Cyprus, and gives no partial refunds for unused time. See our CrushOn AI review.
