Pricing, in plain numbers
PepHop AI's verified entry price is $4.99/mo (as of 2026-07-23). Romantic AI does not publish pricing publicly — we mark it unconfirmed rather than guessing. Watch for token systems and add-ons on both sides: the sticker price is rarely the whole bill in this category.
NSFW policy
PepHop AI partially allows NSFW content. NSFW text roleplay is allowed — the official FAQ states 'We respect people's taste and fetishes' and that rules for hentai/drawn pictures are looser, while banning child sexual content, sexualized minors, heavy gore, bestiality, and sexual violence. However, the Blocked Content Policy prohibits explicit imagery/avatars ('overly revealing clothing, exposure of genitalia'), depictions of explicit sexual activity in images, incest scenarios (including step-relations), and celebrity/real-person bots. Romantic AI partially allows NSFW content. Official site offers optional adult modes — 'spicy replies' and 'Unlock romantic roleplay' as Premium benefits — alongside general emotional-support positioning
How this comparison was built
No mystery meat: here is exactly where this page comes from. every price and policy above was pulled from an official source where possible, dated, and marked unconfirmed where it wasn't verifiable. We don't invent weaknesses and we don't claim hands-on testing we haven't done. One more thing you should know: PureLove is our own product — we run it daily, which is why we can speak first-hand about it and only from sources about everyone else. Full rules: editorial policy.
