Eight vendors, side by side
Go to the matrix48 questions put to eight vendors. 17 of them have no published answer.
Every filled cell was read from the vendor's own page on 20 October 2026. No scores, no ranking, and the source on each tool's entry.
| Vendor | Operator named | Prices public | Rights in output | Licence taken back | Retention period | Trains on your content |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nastia AI | not published | No — sign-in required | Yours, stated plainly | Limited to running the service | Stated: while the account is open; violations up to 7 years | Not claimed |
| Kalon AI | not published | Service down at time of reading | Yours, with an assignment of their interest | Scoped to operating and improving the service | not published | Yes, input and output |
| Candy AI | EverAI Limited, Malta | No — sign-in required | Yours, but commercial use prohibited | Perpetual, with commercialisation | Stated: 3 years after closure; 10 years for financial records | Yes, including human review of de-identified chats |
| OurDream AI | Dream Studio USA, Inc., Delaware | No — behind an adults-only interstitial | Yours, stated plainly | Perpetual, with commercialisation | not published | Yes |
| CrushOn AI | not published | Yes, seven tiers | not published | Perpetual, plus a licence to every other user | not published | Yes, character chats |
| Dream Companion | Miracle AI UG, Berlin | not published | Not claimed by the operator | Perpetual, plus a licence to every other user | not published | Google sign-in data never; other data implied |
| JuicyChat AI | Cognify AI LTD., Malta | No — sign-in required | not published | not published | not published | not published |
| Perchance | not published | No paid plan surfaced | not published | not published | States the AI plugins do not store data on the server | not published |
The same table counted down its columns: how many of the eight give any answer at all, whether that answer is yes or no. Retention is the field they answer least, and only two of those three answers are a period — the third says the plugins keep nothing on the server, which answers a different question.
Two of eight publish a retention period. The other six answer with a variation of "for as long as necessary".
Nastia states that material is kept while the account is open and itemises every exception, up to seven years for rule-violation records. Candy AI gives three years after account closure and ten for financial records.
One of the remaining six sidesteps the question entirely by stating that its generation plugins keep nothing on the server. That answers a different question than the one asked, and the account it is tied to is not covered by it.
Owning your output means two different things
Five vendors say the user owns what they generate. In two of those five — Nastia and Kalon — the licence running back to the operator is scoped to making the service work.
In the other three it is perpetual and includes commercialisation, and one of those three separately forbids the user from any commercial use at all. The sentence is the same; the bargain is not.
Perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable and transferable
CrushOn AI — Over everything a user submits, with a further licence running to every other user of the service. Terms of use, last modified 22.09.2026, as recorded on this site's entry for it
Limited to what is needed to run the service
Nastia AI — No perpetual term and no commercialisation; what you create stays private to the account. Terms v1.0, 16.09.2026, as recorded on this site's entry for it
Licensed to every other user
CrushOn and Dream Companion both grant each user of the service a licence to use, reproduce and make derivative works from what you submit. The wording in the two documents is near identical, which suggests one template rather than two decisions.
The same licence, eight times over
Six attributes of the licence each operator takes over what a user submits, read from its own terms on 20 October 2026. A hatched cell is a question that vendor's documents do not address; two of the eight leave the whole row unanswered.
How old the documents are
The date each document states for itself, read 20.10.2026. Two of the eight are governed by a policy written before the product took its current shape; one terms page has not been touched since May 2024.
The one published scale
CrushOn AI message credits a month, from its own pricing page, read 20.10.2026. Standard is $39.99 monthly; no price is published beside the premium tier.

What this table does not say
Nothing about output quality, speed or whether a model follows prompts well. None of that was measured, and this catalogue holds no accounts with any vendor.
Nothing about whether a filter will refuse your use case, and nothing about services not listed here: eight entries is where the reading got to, not a shortlist.
One of the eight was not running on the day it was read.
Kalon's own banner states that chat, image and video generation are down until further notice. A catalogue that only read documents would have missed it, which is the argument for opening the site as well as the policy.
Before you pay
-
Who owns the output
Terms differ sharply on whether you may publish what you generate, and on whether the vendor may reuse it in training or promotion.
Walk away if: The terms grant the vendor an unlimited licence to your generations and say nothing about your own rights.
-
What happens to prompts and uploads
Prompts in this category are sensitive by definition, and a vendor that keeps them indefinitely turns a breach into a personal disaster.
Walk away if: No retention period anywhere, no deletion route, support answers by asking for a screenshot of your billing page.
-
Published limits
Clip length, resolution, queue position and daily generation caps are the difference between a working tool and a demo.
Walk away if: The pricing page sells 'unlimited' and the fair-use clause in the terms contradicts it.
-
Billing and cancellation
Adult platforms are the single largest source of subscription complaints, mostly over renewals and descriptor names on the statement.
Walk away if: Cancellation requires email, the trial auto-upgrades to annual, or the statement descriptor is undisclosed.

Where this table and a vendor's current page disagree, the vendor is right.
