Janitor AI is better if you mostly chat free: chats on its standard models are unlimited, and the free model keeps about 8,000 to 9,000 tokens in view, roughly twice SpicyChat’s 4,096. SpicyChat is better if you’ll pay for extras: True Supporter ($19.95 a month) writes memories for you, I’m All In ($29.95) reaches up to 32,768 tokens and reads replies aloud, and group chats are open to everyone. Both are for adults only, and both take Tavern cards. For long stories that need to remember, LoreWeaver writes memories every 4 replies on every plan, the free one included.
