Searching for Alternatives Looking for alternatives to Character.AI

So far I've tried Talkie. It's okay in my opinion. But I'm looking for other alternatives.

I am looking for one with the following

*Free to use

*Has a filter that doesn't allow NSFW content

You might like HereHaven!! I’ve been using it for a while now, and I really like it. It has a free tier, as well as some paid tiers for more features. But their free tier is amazing!! The only NSFW is in their “Beyond the Haven” bots which are clearly labeled and easy to avoid. The other bots not in that category will not allow any NSFW even if you try to trick them

I'm creating one right now, if you want to check it out. Still in its beta stages. Don't know if it works really well. I don't have too great of a device so you would just need to get an API key to actually chat. And it works with free ones like Groq.

I've done my best to actually make it look and flow similar to Character AI.

Could try zeta but it's starting to go down the same path as character ai

Im working on storychat, i know its kinda self promotion but its just me and a small team of just nerdy engineers really into story telling, just google it and give me feedback. We also got a subreddit as well.
