Short answer: CrushOn AI moved from 4 to 6 paid tiers in 2026: Free ($0) → Standard $4.9 → Premium $7.9 (dropped from $14.99) → Luxe $25 NEW (Most Popular) → Elite $66.7 NEW → Imperial $150 NEW. Old Deluxe is marked Retired. Sweet spot for ~80% of users = Premium $7.9 after the price drop. Luxe makes sense at 30+ images/day. Elite/Imperial are heavy-user and whale tiers.

Premium dropped from $14.99 to $7.9 — what changed
In 2026 CrushOn restructured the entire lineup. Old Premium $14.99/mo dropped to $7.9/mo annual ($94.88/yr annual, $178.88/yr monthly — save $84 = 47% with annual billing). Key features retained:
- 6 000 credits/mo (new credit unit — don’t compare directly to old “tokens”)
- 16K memory models
- 400 historical messages per character
- Group chat (unique model with 8K memory)
- 5 custom voice slots
- +10% discount on credit purchases
Why the drop: Luxe $25 launched with a “Most Popular” badge — Premium stopped being the top premium and became entry-level premium. If your use case = chat + moderate image load + 2-3 characters = Premium $7.9 is the 2026 optimum.
Standard $4.9/mo — for testing
Includes:
- 2 000 credits/mo
- 16K memory models (same as Premium)
- 300 historical messages per character
- 3 concurrent chats per character
- 3 custom voice slots
- Group chat available
- 20 profile cards
- 50 inspiration replies/day
Limits:
- Only 2 000 credits — burns through in 5-10 days of active chat + image generation
- 70 recent chats max (Premium = 100)
- AI message length not adjustable
Who it’s for:
- Testing the platform before upgrading
- Hard $5/mo budget cap
- Chat-only with minimal image generation
r/CrushOnAI feedback 2026: 60-70% of Standard users upgrade within the first month. If you know you’ll use the platform actively — go straight to Premium $7.9.

Reality check: for 99% of users Imperial is 10-20× overpay. Comparable positioning: HoneyChat Elite $39.99/mo provides unlimited + 6 NSFW levels + multi-character at 3.75× less.
What happened to Deluxe — where did it go
Old Deluxe tier is marked “Retired” on CrushOn’s 2026 pricing page:
- For new subscribers — unavailable (can’t purchase)
- Active Deluxe subscribers — continue until period end
- On renewal CrushOn suggests Luxe or Premium as replacement
- No “migration discount” for former Deluxe customers
Positioning replacement: Luxe $25/mo (“Most Popular”) takes the same mid-premium role but at a higher price than old Deluxe. If your Deluxe is expiring and you don’t want to upgrade to Luxe, consider HoneyChat Premium $9.99/mo — parity with Premium-Luxe range of CrushOn but with flat quotas.
Legacy VIP $29.99 — where it migrates
CrushOn pre-2026 had a VIP $29.99/mo tier (voice + max tokens + priority). It’s absent from the new 6-tier lineup. What happens:
- Active VIP subscribers auto-migrate to Luxe $25/mo (closest match by features)
- Voice slots on Luxe = 10 (vs unspecified on old VIP)
- Luxe credits = 20 000/mo — more than old VIP in credit-equivalent
- Price $5/mo lower than old VIP
If you paid for VIP in 2025 and now see “Luxe” in your account — that’s automatic migration. No functional loss vs old VIP.
