What is the “TECHIEPIE LTD” charge on your card?
The short answer
TECHIEPIE LTD is the company that operates CrushOn AI (crushon.ai), an uncensored AI roleplay chat platform. The app's name appears nowhere in the descriptor because you're billed by the legal entity, not the brand — a discreet-billing pattern that's standard across this category.
CrushOn's paid economy is genuinely complex — memberships, 'Chat Package' add-ons, message credits, Coins, and Diamonds — so a second or larger-than-expected TECHIEPIE charge is often an add-on purchase or a renewal at the non-promo rate rather than a mystery.
Source: TECHIEPIE LTD is the legal operator of CrushOn AI — we verified that first-hand from CrushOn's own terms of service. That it appears as the card descriptor follows from it being the billing entity, and matches what cardholders searching this string report.

How to stop the charge
- Log in at crushon.ai → Profile → My Subscription → Manage → Cancel. Access continues to the end of the paid cycle.
- Check for separate purchases (Chat Package, credit bundles) — cancelling the membership doesn't undo one-time buys.
- Only if you never signed up: dispute with your bank. Note CrushOn states chargebacks can get an associated account banned, so exhaust the cancel path first if the account is yours.
Refund reality
Verified from CrushOn's own pages: NO refunds on usage fees. Cancelling stops the next cycle but won't claw back the current one. For a charge on a card that was never used to sign up, go straight to the bank dispute.
Didn't sign up for anything?
First check whether someone in your household did — discreet descriptors exist precisely so subscriptions aren't obvious on a shared statement. If you're confident nobody did, treat it as an unauthorized charge: dispute it with your bank citing the exact descriptor, ask them to block the merchant, and replace the card if you don't recognize how it was obtained.
Descriptors confuse because app names, company names, and billing entities rarely match — our ownership map shows who actually runs which apps, and the real-cost table decodes what each one genuinely charges.
