## Side by side





|  | HammerAI | Unrestricted AI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | A character chat with web, desktop and mobile apps; the desktop app can run local models | An uncensored chat and API over open and abliterated models |
| Price | Free $0, Starter $9/mo, Advanced $18/mo, Ultimate $35/mo; credit packs from $1.99 for images and voice | Starter $19/mo including $19 of usage; top-ups from $5 |
| Free tier | Yes | 50 messages a day on a verified account |
| Adult content | Positioned as private chat and role-play; content rules are set by HammerAI | Yes, 18+, within our acceptable-use rules |

## The real difference

The strongest privacy mode depends on running models on your own computer; if you want large hosted uncensored models with no setup, or an API, you need something else.

If that trade-off does not matter to you, there is no reason to switch.
