Pricing, in plain numbers

NSFW policy
JOI AI allows NSFW content. Official site has an 18+ age-confirmation modal, an 'NSFW content' show/hide toggle, explicit search suggestions, and markets an AI video generator for 'erotic AI videos'. A 'Celebrity' character filter also appears in the official UI. SoulGen's NSFW policy is unconfirmed. Contradictory picture. The official Terms of Service still prohibit content that is 'pornographic, indecent, lewd' (re-checked 2026-10-08), and the public site markets a general AI video/character generator with no NSFW mention, although the Pro plan lists 'Remove blur'. SoulGen is widely categorized by third-party reviews as an NSFW image/video generator with adult realistic, anime and hentai styles. The official public pages do not confirm NSFW output.
