FAQ
Are AI companions safe, private, legit? Ask away.
Every question below is one we would ask before giving a new site our email. Longer answers about the category live on the safety and privacy guide.
Straight answers
Is this legit? What do I actually get right now? +
Aroused is a live product you can use today. A free account gives you your own companion, persistent memory and 25 messages a month, and the companion demo on this site runs without an account at all. Paid plans add more companions, deeper memory and more messages.
Do I need to pay or add a card now? +
No. The free tier is 25 messages a month and requires no card. You always confirm a plan explicitly before anything is charged.
What does it cost? +
There is a free tier of 25 messages a month. Paid tiers are Spark at $9.99, Desire at $19.99 and Devotion at $34.99 per month billed annually (monthly billing is $12.99, $27.99 and $49.99), plus a business licensing tier. Real memory costs real compute, so we would rather charge fairly than monetize your conversations.
Privacy and discretion
Is it really private? +
Yes, by architecture and by policy. Demo chats are processed only to generate the reply. We do not publish, sell or advertise on your conversations. Your account stores your email and confirmation status. One email to [email protected] deletes everything we hold about you.
Will anyone know I use this? +
The site sends no social notifications and shares nothing anywhere. Billing is set up to appear under a neutral, discreet descriptor on statements. Discretion is a design requirement, not an afterthought.
Are the companions real people? +
No, and we never pretend otherwise. Every companion is a fictional AI character with an original portrait. Ask one directly and it will tell you it is an AI. The honesty is what makes the whole thing relaxing.
Companions and content
How customizable is my companion? +
Deep and deliberate: presence (feminine, masculine or illustrated), face and style, personality, voice, interests and a backstory for how you met. Name, personality and shared interest already work in the demo. The point is designing one companion well, not collecting five hundred presets.
Is this explicit? What does "tasteful" mean? +
Aroused is adults-only but never pornographic. Companions are warm, romantic and at most elegantly flirtatious. Explicit sexual content is refused by hard policy, in the demo and at launch. Think fragrance-campaign, not adult site.
Why 18+, then, if nothing is explicit? +
Because it is a romantic companion platform for grown-ups, and age assurance is basic responsibility in this category. Every visitor confirms adulthood at the gate, every companion is unambiguously an adult, and minor themes are refused absolutely.
Account and signup
How does signing up work? +
You enter your email, we send a 6-digit code, and entering it confirms your account. That is the entire commitment: no card, no subscription, and the free tier gives you 25 messages a month straight away. Unsubscribe by replying to any email.
What is still being built? +
The core product is live: the builder, chat, memory and paid plans all work today. Voice notes, image moments and AI matchmaking are planned next; how-it-works shows what already functions versus what is coming.
Can I just try something today? +
Yes. The chat demo works right now, free, no account: pick a companion, design the basics and talk. It is stateless by design; a free account is what unlocks memory that carries between conversations.
