Janitor AI: the biggest bot role-play chat — and what you set up

Janitor AI is one of the largest platforms for role-play chats with user-made bots: a free model, millions of cards, public chats. But it is a construction kit: the best experience needs your own API key, patience and a bit of prompt writing. We go through it using the service's own announcements.

Monthly price: Janitor AI vs HoneyChat

Janitor AI$12.99 (janitor+)
HoneyChat Premium$9.99
The base monthly plan of Janitor AI against HoneyChat Premium ($9.99 — the first tier with unlimited messages). Prices taken from public pages on 13 September 2026; ruble prices converted at an approximate rate.

Janitor's strength is its community: character cards, public chats you can read and fork, multiple personas, a builder with custom CSS. Its weakness is that all of it needs configuring: the model, the prompt, the answer length and, optionally, your own API key or a proxy to a third-party model.

Three things to know first

No media at all

In the janitor+ announcement of 24 June 2026 voice and images are called future plans (“think voice and image”). No voice notes, no photos, no video in chat on the day we checked.

Details

One official app

In the App Store and Google Play since 7 February 2026; publisher — Janitor AI Inc. Next to it in the store sits “J.AI” from a Chinese company — that is not Janitor. On mobile a strict filter is on by default.

Pricing breakdown and what janitor+ really gives

Janitor AI vs HoneyChat

The case for Janitor AI

Scale and community: millions of user bots, public chats, forks, multiple personas, custom CSS. A free model with no mandatory subscription and the option to plug any third-party model in via API. The domain has lived since 2023, the company is JanitorAI Inc.

The case for HoneyChat

A ready companion instead of a construction kit: open Telegram or the site — and the conversation starts, with no account, keys or prompts. The character remembers you between sessions, replies with voice, sends photos and short videos — the things Janitor does not have. Payment by card, Telegram Stars or crypto.

HoneyChat in shortHoneyChat in brief: access without registration via Telegram or the site; 20 messages and 3 images a day free, with no expiry; six paid tiers from $4.99 to $99.99 with growing limits for voice, photos and video. Memory between sessions, expressive voice notes and media inside the chat are part of the plan. Payment by card, Telegram Stars and crypto. A young service: the domain was registered on 14 March 2026.

It’s dominantly free, no filters, no limitations on how many messages you can send, and no ads I hope none of this changes

They just added the their Janitor ai + and it is the most annoying pop up I’ve ever seen.

It’s way better than Chai, C.ai, and Polybuzz … it actually keeps the character’s true/accurate personalities throughout your whole chat

I do think this is the best AI Chatbot app, especially since you have the option to pay for the membership or not.

Our reading

Reviewers like the free, unfiltered chat and dislike the Janitor+ popup that arrived with it. HoneyChat is a fair comparison if you want voice, photos and video on top of the roleplay.
