PolyBuzz is here as the benchmark for a filtered app, because people searching for uncensored chat often land on it. It is a general character-chat app with, it says, over 20 million user-made characters, and it imports cards from Character.AI, TavernAI and Pygmalion. Google Play shows more than 50 million installs. The iPhone app wasn't in Apple's US, UK or Canada stores when we checked, with no public reason given.

Its community guidelines ban pornography and sexual acts, and reviewers describe a filter that fires quickly; flirting and romance are fine. That is the app-store rule at work, as our filters guide explains. UK users must pass an ID or face check.

It is free with ads. Premium was $19.90 a month and Ultimate $19.90 a week, with two currencies on top, and Trustpilot complaints (2.2 out of 5) center on ads and paywalls. The privacy policy says it doesn't sell data but lists Meta, Google and AppLovin for analytics and ads.

The facts

Cost

PolyBuzz is free with ads. Its membership page showed Poly Premium at $19.90 a month or $199 a year, and Poly Ultimate at $19.90 a week (first week $14.90) or $299 a year; paid tiers remove ads and unlock stronger memory models. It also sells Coins (voice time, regenerating replies, memory scenes) and a second currency, Opals. Google Play lists in-app items from $0.05 to $599.00, and the terms say purchases are generally non-refundable. Prices may vary by region.^[1][2][3][4]

What it is & who it's for

A general character-chat and roleplay app, often searched as a Character.AI alternative. It says it hosts over 20 million user-made characters and can import character cards from Character.AI, TavernAI and Pygmalion. Google Play showed 50M+ downloads and a 4.0 rating from about 1.21 million reviews, rated Mature 17+. The iPhone app returned no result in Apple's US, UK and Canada stores in Nov 2026; press reports say it left the App Store with no public reason, while the website and Android app still work.^[2][3][5][6]

Filters & age checks

PolyBuzz is not uncensored. Its community guidelines ban content depicting pornography or sexual acts, including nudity. The FAQ says public content goes through layered AI screening and human review, and characters tied to pornography or minors are marked as violations. Romance and flirting are allowed, but Trustpilot reviewers describe a quick-to-trigger filter. The terms say 18+ with a self-entered date of birth; UK users must pass an ID or face check through Ondato or Yoti, yet the FAQ also mentions a Teen Mode.^[4][2][7]

Privacy & breaches

The privacy policy (updated Oct 27, 2026) says PolyBuzz doesn't sell user information, but lists Meta for analytics and Google and AppLovin for advertising. It asks permission to use uploaded photos and precise location to train its AI. The FAQ says neither creators nor staff can see your chats, but the policy doesn't say how long chat logs are kept. You can delete your account in Settings; backups are purged later.^[8][2]

Complaints & regulators

Trustpilot showed 2.2 out of 5 from 31 reviews in the past year on an unclaimed profile (checked Nov 2026). The main complaints are heavy ads, paywalls such as a roughly $200 permanent-memory option, overzealous filters and unexplained account restrictions. A lawsuit San Diego County filed against the ad network AppLovin in Oct 2026 alleges PolyBuzz ads ran inside games rated E for Everyone; PolyBuzz is named as an advertised product, not a defendant. We found no action against PolyBuzz's operator itself.^[7][9]
