HammerAI is an 18+ character-chat app for roleplay, stories, images, and group chats. Official pages checked 2 November 2026 offer a free cloud tier, paid Starter/Advanced/Ultimate plans, and a desktop path that runs local models (including via Ollama) with no login.

How much does HammerAI cost?

The official pricing page checked 2 November 2026 lists Starter at $9/month, Advanced at $18/month, and Ultimate at $35/month. No annual option is displayed there. The US App Store listing the same day shows a Starter Monthly in-app purchase at $8.99. Confirm the live checkout before you pay.

Yes, with a meter on cloud. The pricing page caps Free cloud chat at 600 messages a day, 8,192 tokens of context, and 2 cloud LLMs. Local models on the desktop app are free. The mobile page says free accounts get unlimited chat on a selection of cloud LLMs — that conflicts with the pricing page.

Is HammerAI safe and private?

The privacy policy (16 October 2026) says HammerAI does not collect conversation information and does not train on user data, but cloud messages go to third-party AI providers, and free-tier ads may send recent chat content to Elo. Cancel subscriptions through Gank, or through device Settings → Subscriptions for mobile purchases. It is 18+ — read the provider policy before sharing personal details.

Bottom line

HammerAI is a private character-chat app: a free cloud start, paid Starter/Advanced/Ultimate, and a desktop path that runs local models (including via Ollama) with no login. The tradeoff is the meter and the fine print. Official web Starter is $9/month. The pricing page caps Free cloud chat at 600 messages a day, while the mobile page says free accounts get unlimited chat. Paid image and TTS sit on monthly credits that expire; bought packs do not.

Confirm current price, message caps, and cancellation on the official site before you subscribe.

Overview

HammerAI is a character-chat and roleplay app you use in the browser, in a desktop app (Mac, Windows, Linux), or on iOS and Android. You pick a community character or build your own, then chat. Paid plans add more cloud models, more context, image generation, and text-to-speech. The desktop app can run local models, including through Ollama.

The signed-out homepage we captured on 2 November 2026 is a character grid with Sign In, Desktop App, Mobile App, a Safe filter, and the line Private and personal — just click on a character below. Switching off Safe opens a Content Settings modal: Mature Mode plus a checkbox that you are of legal age and agree to the Terms. That is the product, not a landing-page mockup.

HosaAI treats the category as 18+. Always confirm live details with the provider.

Who it is for

HammerAI fits adults who want free text roleplay and who will actually use the desktop local-model path if they care about messages staying on the machine. It also fits people who will read the $9/month Starter line, and the 600-message Free cloud cap, rather than the mobile page’s unlimited-free claim.

Who it is not for

Skip it if you need a published annual web price — the pricing page does not show one. Skip it if you want unlimited free cloud chat; the pricing page caps Free at 600 messages a day. Skip it if you need a polished one-girlfriend visual funnel rather than a community character grid. Skip it if you need a named legal entity in the terms; stores list Sunspot LLC, but the site terms do not.

Payments go through Gank. Delete from the Account tab of your profile; local chats on device are not deleted by account deletion.

Pros and cons

Strengths

Real free local-model path on desktop, with no login required for that path
Published web prices ($9 / $18 / $35) and a usable Free cloud cap (600/day)
Web, desktop, iOS, and Android
No HosaAI affiliate link on this page — visit the provider directly

Watch for

Mobile “unlimited” free chat conflicts with the pricing page’s 600/day Free cloud cap
“Messages are not saved anywhere but your computer by default” sits next to cloud providers and free-tier Elo ads
Plan cards and the compare table disagree on how many cloud LLMs you get when you pay
App Store copy says no ads; the privacy policy describes ads on the free web tier

Alternatives

If HammerAI is not the right fit:

Janitor AI — huge community character library with unlimited free text on standard models; official pages do not offer images, video, or voice.
SpicyChat — free spicy text roleplay with ads; conversation images start on a higher paid tier.
CrushOn.AI — unfiltered character chat on a budget; official annual Standard is $4.90/mo billed $58.88/year.

Claim vs reality

Homepage copy says HammerAI is 100% free to chat for local and cloud-hosted models. The pricing page caps Free cloud chat at 600 messages a day. The mobile page says free accounts get unlimited chat. App Store and FAQ copy say no ads; the privacy policy describes conversation-aware ads on the free web tier. Plan cards and the compare table disagree on paid cloud-LLM counts. “Unlimited” on paid plans is cloud chat, not images or TTS — those cost 10 and 5 credits.
