RPDATE vs 
JANITOR AIJanitor AI is free right up to the point where it gets interesting: their own model gives roughly 50 messages a day, and past that you bring your own API key — so the bill arrives from someone else.
The thing to compare here is not subscription prices but predictability. RPDATE is $0.01 a message and nothing else. Janitor is zero, then 50 a day, then a token bill you only see after the fact.
RPDATE writes the best dialogue of the lot: characters with a history, photos built from the scene, five modes instead of one window — and something new every week.
Physiotherapist. Third week working on your back. Spots where you tense up before you do.
A predictable bill, no keys to configure, five modes instead of one — those are the rows where RPDATE is ahead. Their card library is genuinely bigger, and that row says so.
Competitor pricing and limits were taken from their own site on 1 September 2026.

The real price hides in a third party. The free model is capped at about 50 messages a day, and a decent one means your own key to OpenAI, Claude or OpenRouter — that is another $10–30 a month, billed by tokens you cannot predict.
