What this adult AI girlfriend chat is
ECJOY is NSFW AI girlfriend chat with fictional adult companions. It is a Character AI alternative for people who want an adult product, not a teen-oriented clone. Replies are generated by AI. Characters are not real people, and this is not human dating. Public profiles are free to view. After you sign in and complete the age checks shown in the app, a registered account gets lifetime free AI replies: 5 per character and 15 total, not a daily allowance. Optional fixed-term memberships add periodic reply allowances. Free replies and membership reply allowances do not spend Coins. Each successful billable reply or regeneration consumes one reply while allowance remains. After the active new membership's reply allowance is used, each additional successful billable reply or regeneration costs 5 Coins after your confirmation. Failed, refused, undelivered or cancelled replies or regenerations consume no allowance or Coins. Insufficient Coins means no charge; after topping up, return to the original operation and confirm again. Buying Coins alone does not grant membership access. Coins also unlock adult photos, videos and gifts. Adults with an active membership can create a private companion in the app. Creating uses no Coins. Studio image and video generation is a separate feature, subject to account eligibility, character references and actual service availability; check the available modes in the app.
Adults only — no Teen filters
There is no Teen filter or under-18 mode. Characters are AI, not human. Ages on public cards are adult fictional ages. ECJOY is for adults aged 18 or older who meet any higher minimum age required where they are. Where applicable law requires additional age checks, you must complete the required checks before accessing restricted features. Use ECJOY only where adult AI companionship services are lawful for you. Features, content, and payment methods may be unavailable or limited by region, applicable law, or payment-channel capability. Availability is not guaranteed worldwide.
Free AI girlfriend chat, then memberships
Character profiles are free to view. A registered account can receive up to 5 free successful AI replies per character and 15 in total across all characters. These are lifetime limits, not daily allowances. One membership level offers these fixed terms: 30 days for US$14.99 (500 replies per 30 days), 90 days for US$29.99 (500 replies per 30 days) and 360 days for US$99.99 (500 replies per 30 days). The first eligible 30-day purchase costs US$9.99 once; later 30-day purchases cost US$14.99 once. Account eligibility is confirmed at checkout. No automatic renewal. 90 days (US$29.99 once) compares to about US$9.99 per 30 days and 360 days (US$99.99 once) compares to about US$8.33 per 30 days. Those figures are comparisons only, not monthly charges. Each active 30-day period includes 500 successful billable AI replies and 300 bonus Coins. Unused replies reset at each period boundary; credited Coins do not expire. Later periods' benefits are not issued in advance. Every new purchase is paid once.
One-time payment, no automatic renewal
New membership, Coins and gift purchases are one-time payments and do not automatically renew. Checkout shows the full price and fixed term before you confirm. A monthly equivalent is a comparison price, not a monthly charge. Historical order prices, paid entitlements and consent records remain unchanged.
What checkout shows before you pay
Before you confirm, checkout shows the total one-time payment, the fixed membership term, benefits, available payment method and linked Terms and refund policy. Opening checkout or connecting a wallet does not authorize or confirm payment.
Available cryptocurrency payments
Card, MoneyGo and cryptocurrency, when shown at checkout, are each a one-time payment for the selected term. Cryptocurrency uses the exact currency, network and amount quoted for your order and has no special discount. Availability is as shown at checkout.
