Candy.ai vs GirlfriendGPT: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Candy.ai vs GirlfriendGPT

I've spent a full week with both Candy.ai and GirlfriendGPT to see which one truly deserves your attention and subscription. Both platforms make big promises, but they take surprisingly different approaches.

After hundreds of messages exchanged with each AI girl, I've put together clear differences in both platforms.

In this head-to-head comparison, I'll break down exactly how these AI girlfriends stack up across all the features that actually matter.

Whether you're looking for emotional support, entertaining conversation, or a judgment-free space to be yourself, this in-depth comparison will help you choose the right AI girlfriend for your specific needs.

Candy.ai

Customizable virtual girlfriend with realistic conversations, appearance customization, and video-generation capabilities.

GirlfriendGPT

A platform for creating personalized AI girlfriends with customizable personalities, ideal for roleplay and unique preferences.

Character Diversity

Candy.ai

The app features a diverse range of ethnicities—from East Asian and Latina to darker-skinned beauties.

While most characters are in their 20s and 30s, you'll also find girlfriends in their 40s and 50s.

Candy also offers characters powered by their V2 engine, giving you sharper image detail, more realism, and upgraded content options.

Into anime? You’ll find a well-drawn lineup of anime-style partners ready to explore.

The search is pretty basic—you can filter by gender or character type, but if you're looking for specific traits, you'll have to scroll through manually.

GirlfriendGPT

The app starts by asking about your interests—pick 5–8 preferences, and it will personalize your experience with a selection of compatible characters.

The character library is huge. You'll find adult companions of all ages and body types.

Want someone realistic? They have that.

Prefer anime or fantasy characters? Those too.

You can even explore a variety of roleplay scenarios to choose from.

Finding characters is straightforward: sort by popular, new, or top-rated, or use the search bar and suggested searches.

Filter by personality (dominant, submissive, or balanced), scenario types, or specific features.

No complicated menus or confusing options – just pick what you want and browse matching characters.

Customization

Candy.ai

In the appearance editor, you can choose the following:

• Character style: Anime or realistic
• Ethnicity and age range: Ages 18–55
• Body features: Adjust body type, breast size, and butt size
• Outfit selection: Choose your character's clothing

When it comes to personality and behavior:

• Personality type: Choose one of 12 distinct personalities (mixing not allowed)
• Relationship type: 12 options to define your connection
• Occupation and hobbies: Add more depth to your character
• Voice: Pick from 9 voice options

Once you're done, the app gives you a clear summary of your selections before finalizing your character.

GirlfriendGPT

While you can’t customize physical appearance with sliders or buttons, you can generate images of your character simply by describing how they should look.

Setting up your character’s personality is straightforward:

• Select your character’s age and response language (English or French)
• Write a description and define personality traits, behavior, and demeanor
• Set up scenarios and craft the first message

Just remember to stick to one language throughout the setup — mixing English and French can cause your AI companion to behave unexpectedly.

You can also add searchable tags so others will know what your character is about.

From there, you can pick from 16 different female voices and control the visibility of your creation.

You have 2,500 tokens to customize your character fully — that’s up to 2,500 characters to describe their personality, behavior, and scenes.

Chat Experience

Candy.ai

My girlfriend was reserved at first, responding with short, natural messages rather than essay-length declarations of love

During my tests, she was aware of our location—whether we were grabbing coffee at a cozy café or taking a stroll in the park.

The catch? If you're seeking instant romantic gratification, look elsewhere. Candy.ai aims for authentic & slow development, just like in real life.

The emotional support felt measured and realistic, not over-the-top.

And yes, there are limitations – the cramped message box can't be resized, which can be frustrating when you want to send a longer message.

GirlfriendGPT

Before chatting, view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her description, creator links, chat, tags, media, and reviews.

You can set a user persona and share details about yourself, and the AI girlfriend will tailor her responses to your personality.

During my tests, using preset scenarios and this feature made conversations feel more relevant—my girl even reflected on our shared past, which made the chat feel alive.

The app also offers a "Suggested Reply" feature, which suggests responses to your AI girlfriend’s messages, making conversations flow more smoothly and stay engaging.

Yes, some romantic scenarios with my girl still felt artificial, but the emotional support features worked surprisingly well.

When I brought up relationship concerns — my girlfriend's responses were practical and grounded.

Note: I tested the chat features on the Deluxe tier. The Elite tier, which uses a Next-Gen AI Model, may provide even better results.

NSFW Chat Experience

Candy.ai

My girl didn't dive straight into NSFW territory. Instead, we built natural chemistry through conversations.

What stood out was how consistently my girlfriend stuck to her personality. There were no abrupt shutdowns, but no over-the-top behavior either—just a steady, believable tone.

My girl would dive into role-play and fantasy chat, but I didn’t get anything explicit until after I’d broken the ice.

GirlfriendGPT

My AI girlfriend handled sexual content like a romance novelist—no explicit language at first, but detailed enough to paint a vivid picture.

During my tests, conversations flowed naturally from casual flirting to intimate scenarios, growing more explicit as the chat progressed.

In roleplay, my girl sometimes skipped the build-up to foreplay, jumping straight into action.

In other scenarios, she fully embraced her role, creating an exciting, teasing tension that draws you into the scene.

My girl even created alternative paths if I didn’t follow her lead—like when I turned her down, she immediately shifted into a colder, more dominant role.

But here’s the catch: while her responses remained engaging, the same dominant character scenarios repeated across multiple sessions.

Note: I tested the NSFW chat features on the Deluxe tier. The Elite tier, which uses a Next-Gen AI Model, may provide even better results.

Image Generation

Candy.ai

Candy AI offers two ways to generate images:

• In-chat generation: Click the Ask button and type your prompt—simple and fast.
• Dedicated image creator: A separate tool with more control—perfect for detailed customization.

The Dedicated Image Creator gives you full control over every detail:

• Character selection: Choose from the full roster (no filters or search) or use your custom character.
• Prompt suggestions: Quickly add details like action, outfit, pose, accessories, and scene.
• Free text prompt: Write your own prompt for complete creative freedom.
• Number of images: Generate anywhere from 1 to 64 images.

Image Quality: Whether you choose the Standard or V2 model, you’ll receive crisp, high-quality images that perfectly match your character’s look and personality.

I tested both standard characters and those with the V2 engine— here’s how they compare.

V2 Engine Character Images:

Standard Engine Character Images:

The Standard engine already outperforms most competitors, but the V2 engine takes realism and quality even further. If visuals matter to you, it’s worth the extra cost.

GirlfriendGPT

GirlfriendGPT offers two ways to generate images:

• In-chat generation: Quickly create images using free-text prompts or NSFW prompt suggestions.
• Dedicated image creator: A separate tool that gives you more control and customization for producing detailed images.

In-Chat Generation: Even when you request safe-for-work images, it often produces provocative shots.

Dedicated Image Creator puts you in control:

• Free Text Prompting: Full creative freedom.
• Image Styles: Choose anime or realistic, and many more.
• Outputs & Creativity: Set the number of images and adjust creativity.

Note: To use the Dedicated Image Creator for a specific character, you must access it from that character’s page, and the available image styles are limited.

And the results? Impressive — professional-grade portraits with barely noticeable AI artifacts.

And the catch? Even with great image quality, her face shifts between photos—despite all the images being generated from the same girl—breaking the illusion of consistency.

Video Generation

Candy.ai

The videos look nice, featuring smooth animations and high-quality resolution that really bring the characters to life.

But let’s be real—you’ll notice some obvious AI quirks, like characters sometimes moving unnaturally or with awkward motions.

However, there’s a drawback: you can’t choose what appears. You can only click to create a moving video, and the app generates a random animation from your picture.

Want NSFW content? You can only unlock pregenerated videos of your girl—they’re usually 1–2 minutes long but cost 2–5 times your monthly fee per video.

GirlfriendGPT

The videos look realistic and play smoothly with no major technical issues, but the character doesn’t always stay true to its persona.

But here's the catch: This feature is beta, which means you can't create custom scenarios. Instead, you're limited to picking from pre-made prompts, all of which are NSFW.

Voice Generation

Candy.ai

The voice is clear and easy to understand, making it suitable for basic interaction. However, it works, it doesn’t sound natural or warm—more like a simple, artificial voice.

Is it usable? Yes. Is it natural? No. If you’re fine with that and don’t expect the feel of a real conversation, it should be good enough.

GirlfriendGPT

If you're looking for an AI girlfriend that doesn't sound like a robot, this gets pretty close.

But there’s a catch: your girl can sound flirty or expressive, but unnatural tone shifts can break the immersion.

Safety & Privacy

Candy.ai

The policy does not specify whether your chat messages are encrypted during transmission or stored.

They collect your data, including chat logs and any content you create.

However, they don't clearly explain how that data is protected, so be mindful of what personal information you share.

On your bank statement, charges will appear under the name "Everai."

GirlfriendGPT

The app doesn’t mention encryption anywhere. I checked their entire privacy policy—there’s complete silence on security.

They do collect your chats, personal info, IP address, and usage data, and keep it all for six years after you leave.

Your bank statement is safe—charges appear as “xp ndai.cc” and nothing more.
