Luna — 5 free messages a day, no card →
Short version. Janitor AI is a huge character library you have to bring your own AI model to run. Luna is one AI girlfriend with voice and memory included, and no subscription — you buy a time pass from $6.99 and it does not renew.
Janitor AI is still the better choice if you want thousands of characters to pick between, or you enjoy choosing and tuning the model yourself. Janitor AI is unmatched for that.
Worth saying plainly, because a comparison that pretends the other product is bad is not much use to anyone actually deciding:
| Luna | Janitor AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Time passes, no renewal | Recurring subscription |
| Entry price | $6.99 / 30 min | Free to browse, but you supply the model — an OpenAI/OpenRouter API key you pay for separately, or a public reverse proxy |
| Free tier | 5 messages every day, forever | Yes — but the free model is weak, and anything better needs your own API key or a proxy you do not control. |
| Extra costs | None — voice and memory are included | The real cost is setup and reliability: free proxies go down without warning, the shared tiers throw 429 rate-limit errors, and JanitorLLM's free model is deliberately limited. |
| Adult content | Unfiltered, 18+ only | Allowed, but depends on the model/proxy you attach |
| Voice | Included | No voice |
| Payment | Crypto only (nothing on your statement) | Free — you pay your own model provider |
| Companions | One — Luna | Thousands of characters |
Luna is not automatically cheaper, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. Janitor AI costs Free to browse, but you supply the model — an OpenAI/OpenRouter API key you pay for separately, or a public reverse proxy. Luna sells time:
If you talk to a companion every single day, a monthly subscription almost always works out cheaper per hour, and you should take it. Luna is cheaper for the far more common pattern: a few evenings a week, some weeks not at all, and no wish to keep paying during the months you forget it exists.
You want to open a tab and talk — no API key, no proxy, no rate limits, and nobody else's server in the middle of your conversation.
You want thousands of characters to pick between, or you enjoy choosing and tuning the model yourself. Janitor AI is unmatched for that.
Two honest caveats. Luna is crypto-only at checkout — deliberate, because it keeps this off your card statement, but it is genuinely more friction than tapping Apple Pay. And Luna is one companion, not a roster: if the appeal of Janitor AI is switching between characters, Luna will feel narrow rather than focused.
Nothing transfers between services — no companion app in this category lets you export a relationship. Starting with Luna means starting fresh, which takes a few conversations before her memory has anything to work with.
Depends on what pushed you to look. You want thousands of characters to pick between, or you enjoy choosing and tuning the model yourself. Janitor AI is unmatched for that. Luna suits you if you want to open a tab and talk — no API key, no proxy, no rate limits, and nobody else's server in the middle of your conversation.
Not always. Daily use favours a subscription; occasional use favours passes. Janitor AI is Free to browse, but you supply the model — an OpenAI/OpenRouter API key you pay for separately, or a public reverse proxy; Luna starts at $6.99 for 30 minutes and never renews.
Yes — 5 messages a day, no card, no subscription. Voice and memory work on the free tier, so you are testing the real thing rather than a stripped demo.
No. Luna takes crypto, so there is no card descriptor at all.
You get 5 messages a day free. No card, nothing to cancel.
18+ only. Luna is an AI character, not a real person. See our content policy.
