Best AI Dungeon Alternatives

NovelAI is a subscription AI storyteller from Anlatan Inc. with a document editor where the model continues your text, a Text Adventure mode with Do and Say commands, and unlimited text generation on every paid tier. Tablet is $10 a month with a memory of about 32,768 characters (8,192 tokens), Scroll $15 with 12,288 tokens and Opus $25 with 28,672 tokens plus Opus-only models. The homepage says story generation is "powered by GLM 4.6", and the tier table names Llama 3 Erato 70b as an Opus model. Its privacy policy summary says "your stories are end-to-end encrypted and we cannot read them, and we do not store the prompts you send for generation", which is the company's statement and not something we tested.

What it drops: there is no free plan, only a one-time Paper trial of 50 text generations, and no native app (it installs as a web app). Its terms require users to be 18 or older, but we found no sentence permitting adult content, none banning it, and no published rule on sexual content involving people under 18, which describes the pages we read and not a policy it lacks. Refunds are only if the company grants them. AI Dungeon against NovelAI compares them.

DreamGen is an AI story writer and role-play platform where you define a scenario and play with AI characters. The free product has 200 monthly credits and 25 daily credits. Starter lists at $7.83 a month with a 5,000-token context, Advanced at $19.35 with 15,000 and Pro at $48.30 with 30,000, with credit packs of 750 for $5.39 up to 9,000 for $51.79. The first-party default model is described as GLM 5.2, free of credits for Pro users, and third-party models cost credits.

The price is not as flat as it looks. The "unlimited" on paid tiers carries an asterisk and monthly token caps, and the free tier's context window is not stated. It is web only, with no store app found. The Terms bar sexual content involving fictional people under 18, but no sentence permits or bans adult content between adults, and the Terms and Privacy FAQ say private stories are not used for training unless you opt in while automated moderation scans private content.

Outfox Stories is for people 18 and over only. Its readers write branching stories, and it has AI chats and AI-generated text adventures, with a free tier and Basic at $8 a month, or $6 on an annual subscription, which gives 100 text generations a day, ten times the free tier. Plus is $20 with 500 a day and Patron $100 with virtually unlimited generations. The Premium page says "The AI will write mature content", and the Content Guidelines welcome explicit fiction under written rules. The site meta promises no ads and no account required.

No context size, model name or token count is published in the pages we read, so it cannot be compared on those terms. AI images and videos are always SFW, a one-time age verification applies in some regions, and it is a website. It suits a reader who wants community fiction as well as an AI adventure.

DreamPress AI writes chaptered stories with choices, roleplay chat and AI narration. A free account gets 15 credits a day once its email is verified, 50 bonus credits for verifying, and 20 a day from day 7 of a writing streak. Pro is $9.99 a month or $71.99 a year on the web, with 1,000 credits a month, and the iPhone app charges more: $12.99 for the same tier. It has an 18+ entry gate, an adult content policy that says all characters must be over 18, and an iOS app.

It drops typed freedom for structure, and context sizes and the cost of a chapter in credits are not published. There is no Android app that we found. Terms and policies were last updated August 13, 2026.

Pirr is an interactive romance fiction app: you choose the genre, characters and setting and the story adapts line by line, in text only. The free tier gives 20 daily Standard AI actions, and Premium is $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year on the App Store. It has iPhone and Android apps and a web beta, and Mature themes are off by default for users who confirm they are 18 or older. Its Code of Conduct says all characters in sexual content must be 18 or older.

It is not a typed adventure and publishes no model or context size. It is the pick if you want the AI-adapted story in an app.

NovelX is an AI erotic and romance story writer on the web and iPhone from Sub Zero Labs OÜ of Tallinn. You describe an idea, build characters, generate chaptered stories and listen to supported chapters as audio. A free plan gives 10 generation tokens, Premium is $18.99 a month on the web and the App Store, and a homepage counter claims 89,000+ stories written.

The gap is on its own pages. Its Acceptable Use Policy and homepage FAQ ban incest and non-consensual sexual content, while on October 27, 2026 its public library listed tags for both, which we record as a fact about the service and not a finding about any story. What a free "token" buys is not defined, and context and model are not published.
