Chub.ai: “uncensored models” — and a checkout that takes only crypto

Chub.ai grew out of a character-card catalog for SillyTavern into a service with its own models and one $20 subscription. Its defining trait is printed on the subscription page: you can pay only in cryptocurrency, “to stay free of that pressure permanently”. Here is what is free, what it costs and where it falls short.

Checked (methodology). This site is not affiliated with Chub.ai or HoneyChat; 18+ content.

Monthly price: Chub.ai vs HoneyChat

Chub.ai$20
HoneyChat Premium$9.99
Chub's only subscription is $20 a month, crypto only. HoneyChat Premium is the first tier with unlimited messages.

Its strength is its stance: “uncensored models”, a refusal of cards for independence from payment processors, an OpenAI-compatible API, and a subscription without credits or tiers. For experienced role-players it is a clear product. Its weakness is the entry threshold: crypto as the only payment cuts off most users, there is no free plan as such, and the terms name the party as “Chub (AKA CharHub)” with no legal entity or address.
