CrushOn AI models explained
CrushOn AI runs 13+ models in three classes — free, Pro and Ultra — and lets you switch between them mid-conversation. Understanding which class costs credits is the difference between a $0 month and a surprised one. 18+
The three classes
Free models — Crushon Mira, GLM 4.6, Crushon Leo and others — never consume credits and are unlimited on every tier, including the free plan. They run at 8K memory with capped reply length.
Pro models — including DeepSeek V4 Flash and Crushon Mochi V3 — consume monthly message credits. The free tier includes roughly 100 credits per month to try them.
Ultra models — the flagship tier, including Claude Opus 4.7, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek R1, GLM 5.1 and the Claude Sonnet/Opus 4.6 line — consume credits fastest and require a paid plan.

How to use switching well
Mid-chat switching is genuinely useful, and most people under-use it. A practical pattern: run dialogue-heavy exchanges on a Pro or free model, then switch to an Ultra model for the scenes that matter — the confession, the confrontation, the chapter-ending beat. You spend credits where they change the output and nowhere else.
Another use: if a character starts looping or going flat, switch models rather than restarting. A different backend often breaks the repetition immediately while keeping the conversation history intact.
Credit reality: advanced models draw down a monthly allowance even on paid plans, and the separate Chat Package adds credits without unlocking Ultra models on its own. Model line-up and credit rates change often — check the pricing page for the current numbers.
Does model choice matter more than the character card?
No. A well-written card on a free model outperforms a thin card on the best Ultra model, consistently. Model choice changes register, prose quality and nuance; the card determines whether there is a character there at all. Fix the card first — see how to create a character — then worry about which model runs it.
