Short answer
Most people searching for a JanitorAI alternative want a better or more reliable model, not a new character site. Keep JanitorAI and set Unrestricted AI as the proxy: URL https://tryunrestrictedai.com/v1/chat/completions, model venice-uncensored-role-play ($1 in / $4 out per million tokens), your key. If you want off JanitorAI entirely, use SillyTavern or our chat (50 free messages a day) (checked 9 Nov 2026).

Why the model matters more than the site
Character quality on JanitorAI comes mostly from the model behind it: memory (context length), how well it stays in character, and whether it refuses. Our role-play route is tuned for character chat, and abliterated models like nano-llama-3.3-70b-instruct-abliterated are a second option when you want a bigger model.
FAQ
Can I use Unrestricted AI with JanitorAI?
Yes. Use the proxy option with https://tryunrestrictedai.com/v1/chat/completions, a model ID from our catalog and your API key.
Why does my JanitorAI proxy say "network error"?
Usually the URL is missing /chat/completions, the key has a space, or the model ID is wrong. See the troubleshooting list.
Is it free?
Verified accounts get 50 chat messages a day, reset at midnight UTC. After that, plans start at $19 a month and include the same amount in usage, or you can buy credit from $5.
Do I need to be 18?
Yes. Our terms require users to be at least 18.
