Character.AI alternative for adults
Character.AI announced on October 12, 2026 that it had filed for Chapter 11 to run a court-supervised sale, and said it hopes the platform keeps operating through that process. If you are looking for somewhere else to chat with AI characters, Civiverse is an adults-only site: 15 free welcome messages, then 5 free messages every day, and pictures that match the scene. Everything a character says is made up by an AI.

Per Character.AI's own announcement and the court filings (Delaware, case 26-11603), the company filed a voluntary Chapter 11 case on October 12, 2026 to sell most or all of its assets, and said it expects to keep the platform running during the process. The outcome is not known yet. Check Character.AI's own announcements for its current status.
Free to try, then cheap text
Civiverse: 15 free welcome messages, then 5 free messages a day. After that, text is about 0.67 Buzz per message, and Buzz is optional.
Pictures in the same chat
Ask for a picture, or tap the camera. A picture costs 12 Buzz and the price is shown before you tap. The Look and scene card keeps the outfit and place consistent.
Prepaid, crypto only, no card
Optional Buzz packs start at the $0.99 Try Pack (once per account) and the $3 Starter pack. Chat Passes ($6 for 7 days, $15 for 30 days) cover prepaid unlimited text chat. All paid in crypto only, and nothing renews.
Honest comparison
Civiverse is a separate, adults-only AI chat and image site. It is not Character.AI and does not copy its characters or community. We make no claim about how the two compare on features, and characters you may have made elsewhere do not transfer over on their own.
