Perchance AI alternatives: where your chats, characters, and images go

The Morse teamPublished November 11, 2026Facts checked November 11, 20269 min read

The best Perchance AI alternatives, as of November 11, 2026, are Morse and SillyTavern for character chat kept on your own device, Janitor AI for a large library of user-made bots, and Duck.ai and Venice for a quick AI chat without login, with Morse and Venice also making images. Perchance itself stays free and unlimited, and its AI Character Chat stores your chats in your browser, so the real differences are an account, ads, encryption, and who wrote the page you're typing into.

We read Perchance's AI Character Chat and AI Image Generator pages, the source code each page publishes, its privacy policy, terms of service, FAQ, and AI plugin pages on November 11, 2026, then each alternative's own pages the same day. Perchance's privacy policy opens with a plain-language list of what it stores and what it doesn't, it keeps ads in a sandboxed frame that "cannot access" what you type, and it doesn't tie your account to your AI requests (Perchance). The top-ranking "Perchance AI alternatives" lists we checked, such as Dreamina's of October 24, 2026, recommend only image generators and don't say where Perchance keeps a chat (Dreamina).

Perchance AI alternatives compared

As of November 11, 2026. Every cell for another app comes from that app's own page.

Where does Perchance AI Character Chat store your chats?

In your browser. The chat list shows this note: "Your chat data is stored privately in your browser (not on a server), so if your site data/cache is cleared, your chats and characters will be lost." It adds that browsers "sometimes clear data automatically," for example when storage runs low, and tells you to use the export button to back up (Perchance). The page's published code keeps chats, characters, and memories in an IndexedDB database, and downloads a full backup before it upgrades that database. Neither the note nor the privacy policy says the stored chats are encrypted.

Is Perchance AI safe, and what does it keep?

For an adult who keeps personal details out of it, Perchance is careful about storage. Here is where each piece of your data goes, from Perchance's own pages as of November 11, 2026:

Perchance's own warning is about the pages themselves. Its privacy policy says "anyone can create a generator on Perchance, so you should treat each page like it's a random page on the internet - never input private/sensitive data" (Perchance). Its welcome page calls Perchance "a platform for creating and sharing random generators" (Perchance), and its terms say "all pages on Perchance are a fork of another, except one" (Perchance). In a post on Lemmy, the developer added that a generator's author "could send your inputs off to their own server," and Perchance offers a tool to block a page from reaching outside sites (Lemmy). The official chat lives at perchance.org/ai-character-chat; a lookalike generator with a similar name may be someone else's code.

Why does Perchance show ads?

The AI runs on Perchance's server GPUs, and ads pay for them. The AI text plugin page says the plugin "runs on server GPUs, which means it costs me money to run," so "an ad will appear on your generator for non-logged-in users" (Perchance). Using Perchance without logging in means using it with ads. The privacy policy, last updated October 23, 2026, names Google, Freestar, Sovrn, Snigel, and Ezoic as ad partners, and says Ezoic's partners may gather "unique IDs, advertising IDs, geolocation data" to build audience segments (Perchance). Perchance says the ads can't read your chat, because they run in a separate frame that can see "the address of the page it's on" but not "the contents of generators."

Does Perchance AI have a filter?

The chat's own description says "No message limits, no filter" (Perchance). The AI text plugin page says the model "may produce NSFW/adult-themed content" when prompted that way, and to treat it "a bit like a Google search" (Perchance). Public image galleries are moderated per generator, with a stricter "g" setting or a looser "pg13" one that the generator's author picks (Perchance). The terms say the site is for users "at least 18 years old" (Perchance).

1. Morse: characters and images, kept encrypted on your device

Perchance keeps your chats in your browser, as Morse does. The rest of its privacy rests on the page you happen to be on: storage its pages never call encrypted, ads that pay for the GPUs, and code written by whoever made that generator. Morse keeps the chats on your device too, encrypts them, and runs as one web app from one company, with no ads.

• Characters, for the roleplay you use Perchance for. Characters is for roleplay and companion chats, and the Free plan has no cap on character messages. Studio makes images, 3 a day on Free, and Chat runs over 30 models, open and closed, in the same account.
• Your chats stay in your browser, encrypted. Chat history, characters you make, personas, and Studio images are stored encrypted in your browser, and lock when you sign out. Opening them takes two keys: one that never leaves your device and one our server gives you when you sign in. Our servers don't keep your messages or log their content (privacy policy).
• No ads, no ad trackers. Morse doesn't show ads, train AI on your content, or sell your data, and runs no advertising trackers or third-party analytics.
• Try it without an account. A message from the Morse home page opens a guest chat, kept in the tab's memory and never saved. "Keep this chat" signs you up with an emailed code, a password, or Google, and carries the chat over.

For each conversation in Chat, you choose who sees the message. In Anonymous, our proxy removes your account, email, and IP address before GPT, Claude, or Gemini sees it, so the provider answers without knowing it's you, and may keep the message for a limited time to check for abuse. In Private, open-weight models answer, and Morse has zero data retention agreements with its inference, search, and other providers. In E2EE, on Pro, your browser checks a secure enclave's hardware proof and seals the message so only that enclave can read it, as long as the enclave hardware and attestation work as designed.

On Morse, history is stored only in your browser, encrypted, our servers don't keep your messages, and no ad runs beside the chat. Clearing your browser's site data erases your Morse chats, and Morse can't recover them, so save any story you want to keep. Both are for adults only. Morse's paid plans open unfiltered models for darker fiction, starting with Pro at $19 a month, or $17 billed yearly (plans), and a character chat shows crisis lines, checked on your device, when a message reads like suicidal thinking.

2. SillyTavern

SillyTavern is the closest match to Perchance's do-it-yourself spirit. It describes itself as "a locally installed user interface" for text, image, and voice models, under the AGPL-3.0 license, running on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android through Termux, and Docker (SillyTavern). Your data lives in a folder you control, ./data by default (SillyTavern). It isn't a model, so you connect one. Local backends "are free to use and have no content filter," but models can be "5-50GB each," while cloud APIs "all have content filtering of varying degrees, and most require payment" (SillyTavern). Our SillyTavern alternatives page covers the setup in more depth.

3. Janitor AI

Janitor AI is the pick if you want Perchance's community of user-made characters at a larger scale. Its free tier offers "unlimited chats with millions of bots" on its built-in JLLM model, with a context limit of "around 9k tokens" (Janitor). Unlike Perchance, your chats sit with the company: its privacy policy, updated September 17, 2026, lists "chat conversations, messages" among what it collects (Janitor). Its terms, updated October 8, 2026, limit it to users "at least 18 years of age" (Janitor). We compare its proxy setups in Janitor AI alternatives.

4. Venice

Venice keeps history on your device as Perchance does: "Venice never stores it on its servers" (Venice). You can use it without an account. Its privacy policy, effective June 2, 2026, says it then collects "basic metadata" such as your IP address (Venice). Free gives you 10 text prompts and 15 image prompts a day. Pro, at $18 a month billed yearly ($216), lifts text prompts to unlimited, allows 1,000 images a day, and adds custom characters (Venice). Of its Anonymous mode, Venice says "you should assume the provider is storing your content" (Venice). More in Venice AI alternatives.

5. Duck.ai

Duck.ai answers the plain "AI chat without login" search. DuckDuckGo says it is free "with no account required," and that it doesn't "train on your data" (DuckDuckGo). By default it saves chats "locally on your device," with an optional Sync & Backup (DuckDuckGo). Free use has "a daily limit," and the Plus and Pro subscriptions raise it (DuckDuckGo). It's a general chatbot, with no characters or images on the pages we read. We set its free tier beside six others in free private AI chat.
