Is PolyBuzz Uncensored in 2026? NSFW Rules Explained

Not in the absolute sense. PolyBuzz markets itself as 'Free, Private, and Unrestricted,' and its private-chat filters are looser than Character.AI's, which is why NSFW-tolerant roleplayers land there. But its own FAQ states it 'strictly prohibit[s] public display of NSFW content' and that all recommended content goes through 'multi-layered AI screening and human moderation.' Characters can be flagged as 'Violation' for pornography or sensitive topics, and reviewers report filtering behaves differently in the app versus the browser. Treat it as NSFW-tolerant with a moderated public layer, not uncensored.

The core chat is free and ad-supported. Paid memberships, verified from PolyBuzz's own membership page and app-store listings: Basic/Standard at $9.90/month, Premium at $19.90/month, and Ultimate at $29.90/month, with annual billing at $99, $199, and $299 (roughly $8.30, $16.60, and $24.90 per month). A weekly Standard plan costs $4.99. On top of subscriptions, coins ($2.49–$9.99 per pack) and opals ($5.90–$19.90) are a second spending lane used for regenerations and voice chat.

Yes. The Terms of Use (updated June 1, 2026) require users to be 18 or older worldwide, with a date-of-birth entry at first use — guests cannot correct a mistaken birthdate, and a false DOB can result in temporary or permanent suspension. In the UK, compliance with the Online Safety Act means mandatory age verification through independent third-party providers Ondato and Yoti, who may request date of birth or government-issued ID. The Terms also state no refunds for purchases made by minors by mistake.

It's the platform's weakest point relative to its price. Memory is tiered — free users get a short context window that prunes older conversation, Basic adds Long Memory, and Ultimate promises 'Permanent Memory' across sessions. But paying users on r/polybuzz are blunt: '$30 a month for this? … the Ultimate Memory plan is a total illusion,' and 'the memory is garbage.' Third-party testing scored Persona Memory 7.2/10 and memory 11/25. The official FAQ itself concedes the AI 'may forget previous conversations over time.'

PolyBuzz's FAQ says chats are 'completely private' and that neither character creators nor Poly can access chat content. However, the Google Play data safety section discloses that the app may share location with third parties and collects personal info, financial info, and five other data types. The operator is also layered: Singularity Mutual Entertainment Culture Media Limited in Hong Kong per the Terms, Cloud Whale Interactive Technology LLC in Delaware per the app stores, with a separate name on card statements. Weigh the chat-privacy claim against the data-collection disclosure.

Yes. PolyBuzz is the rebrand of Poly.AI, renamed on January 25, 2025 by its maker, Cloud Whale Interactive Technology LLC, to differentiate from other 'Poly' products in the AI space. Longtime users on r/polybuzz still reference the Poly.AI era, and the rebrand explains some of the app's rough edges — the underlying product and monetization model carried over largely unchanged.
