Switching from JanitorAI
JanitorAI alternative: what actually changes if you switch
In one line
Switch if you want a companion product rather than a configuration exercise, and you do not need an unrestricted model. Stay with JanitorAI if bring-your-own-key control and an unfiltered backend are exactly the point.
Why people leave JanitorAI
- Bring-your-own-API-key setup is a real barrier, and the quality you get depends on a decision the user has to make correctly.
- Memory and consistency vary by whatever backend you wired up.
- Character quality is a community lottery.
What changes
Nothing to configure
No API key, no model choice, no proxy. The writing quality is our problem, and if it is bad that is our fault rather than your configuration's.
A guarantee instead of control
You give up choosing the model. In exchange, your companion is pinned to a version we cannot change under you, and everything is exportable permanently. That is the trade, stated plainly.
Consistent memory
The relationship timeline is part of the product rather than a property of whichever backend you connected.
Where JanitorAI is better
JanitorAI gives you an unfiltered backend and total control over the model. Teaseay gives you neither: it is non-explicit by design and you cannot swap the model. For a user who wants those controls, that is a downgrade and it is the honest word for it.
Questions
Can I bring my JanitorAI history across?
No, and nobody can — there is no export format in common and we will not ask you to paste a transcript into a form. Your Teaseay companion starts from the beginning. What we can promise is that this history, the one you build here, comes out whenever you ask and keeps working after you cancel.
Is Teaseay explicit?
No. It is written at the spice level of mainstream published romance: romantic tension, longing, flirtation, jealousy, kissing, and a closed door at the threshold of physical intimacy. If explicit generation is what you are looking for, Teaseay is the wrong product and we would rather say so here than take your money.
What does it cost?
Free lets you browse every character, keep three conversations and send 25 messages a day, and keeps nothing after the session. Devoted is $14.99 a month or $99 a year and adds unlimited messages and conversations, persistent memory across sessions, the relationship timeline and permanent export.
Start free — browse everyone, 25 messages a day, 18+. Read the Continuity Promise first if the reason you are here is that something changed under you before.
