Promptchan is an adult-oriented platform that combines image and video generation with AI companions and a community feed. Most questions about it come down to three things: what each plan unlocks, what Gems pay for, and who can use the work you create. This independent SpicyAPI overview answers from Promptchan's own pages.
Images, video and companions under one account
Promptchan's homepage describes realistic, anime and fantasy image styles, a Tweak tool that edits an existing image from a text instruction, and video features that animate an image, add sound and extend a clip. A separate chat area offers companion characters with voice messages and calls, and Discover lists characters made by the community.
Explore shows community creations, and Clone loads another creation's prompt and settings into the editor as a starting point. That makes the platform quick for variations on existing work, but it also means a public creation can become someone else's template.
An adult platform with an active moderation layer
Promptchan's Content Moderation Policy, last updated in September 2025, covers images, video, chat and the Explore feed. Automated systems scan prompts, outputs and uploads as they are created, and can block a generation or its display before delivery. Trained moderators review flagged items, and enforcement ranges from removal to account suspension.
The prohibited categories named in its policy and terms include anything involving minors, non-consensual deepfakes of real people, extreme violence and content that infringes privacy or intellectual property. Adult positioning and moderation are not opposites here; both are part of the published product.
Public mode and private mode carry different rights
Section 8 of Promptchan's terms says you keep ownership of your images and prompts. In public mode, however, you grant Promptchan a perpetual, irrevocable and transferable licence, including derivative works and promotion, and every other user receives a licence to use and build on the content. In private or offline mode, Promptchan says it asserts no rights over your work.
Its homepage FAQ tells users to check their plan and settings for private generation options. The privacy policy, updated in October 2026, names prompts entered in public mode as collected data, but does not state retention periods for generated media or whether content is used to improve models.
What each plan unlocks and what Gems are for
Promptchan's upgrade page lists a free tier and three monthly plans. Higher plans raise image quality toward 4K, add poses and styles and increase chat allowance, while video, extend and voice calls are reserved for Pro. Each plan also includes Gems, the virtual currency spent on generations, and more can be bought separately.
Its refund policy allows a request within 30 days of a subscription purchase only when the service has not been used significantly. If you mainly want occasional video, the useful comparison is the Pro plan plus the Gems a clip consumes, rather than the lowest monthly price.
Promptchan has an API, and it follows the website's plans
Promptchan publishes API documentation and a getting-started guide. Requests use an API key, every generation is paid in Gems from your account, and a small additional Gem charge applies per request. The guide states that each model requires the same plan as on the website and that video requires Pro.
That is useful if you already subscribe and want to automate the same models. It also means an integration inherits the account's plan, Gem balance and moderation, so budgeting depends on both a recurring plan and a variable currency.
When paying per generation suits a project better
SpicyAPI works without a plan tier. You top up a prepaid balance in US dollars and pay per generation, at the price shown on each model page, through a browser Studio or the API. Most models do not charge for a refused task, and the model page says so when one does. We add no platform content review or extra filter, though each model keeps its own limits.
This suits irregular workloads, teams comparing several model families such as Seedance, MiniMax H3 and Wan, or products that need their own storage. Media is delivered through signed links, retention can be shortened, and there is no community feed to publish to. Promptchan accounts, Gems and characters do not transfer.
