Candy AI vs GirlfriendGPT: Which One Is Better In 2026?

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

Right after logging into the app, I could see well balanced mix of ethnicities. From East Asian and Latina to dark-skinned beauties.

Most girls seemed to be in their 20s and 30s, but you can also find girls in their 40s and 50s.

When you scroll through the girls, you can notice a little badge saying v2.

This means the girl has a new version of image generation, giving you sharper image detail and more realism.

The search is pretty basic. You can either filter by gender or realistic/anime girls. If you're looking for a specific girl, you'll have to scroll through them 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

You start by building her appearance, where 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

Next, you build her personality:

• Personality type: Choose one of 12 distinct personalities (mixing not allowed)
• Relationship type: 12 options to define your relationship
• 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.

But does it actually work? I tried to create a Latina girl with long dark hair, curvy build, and extra large breast size. As you can see on othe image below, the app clearly delivered (at least in my opinion).

The one thing I didn't like is that you can't regenerate the image of the girl if you're not satisfied with her looks.

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

The chatting felt very smooth. It was like exchanging messages with a girl you're about to meet for a date: short, natural, and to the point.

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

I tried to simulate a date where we would change location multiple times. And to my surprise, she was aware of it, whether we were grabbing coffee at a cozy café or taking a stroll in the park.

Then I tried to test how my girl would handle emotional support. It felt realistic, nothing crazy, nothing over-the-top.

The UI could be better, though. The cramped message box can't be resized, which can be frustrating when you want to send a longer message.

But overall, Candy offers a decent chat experience with short messages that are easy and keep the conversation engaging.

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

After some time, I built a natural chemistry with my girl, and I was ready to move into spicy territory.

What surprised me was how consistently my girlfriend stuck to her personality. There were no shutdowns, but no over-the-top behavior either. Just the tone I was already used to.

We spent some time role-playing and doing fantasy chat, but she didn't mention anything explicit. I had to break the ice myself.

Bottom line: It seems like Candy girls are not shy to go into explicit territory, but you need to warm them up first. I personally liked it, but I can see how some people would not.

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

You can request an image from the chat interface. Just click the Ask button and describe what you want to see.

But if you want full control, Candy has a dedicated image creator. Here you can select details like:

• Character selection: Choose from Candy girls or use the girl you created.
• Description: Describe the setting, outfit, pose, or accessories.
• Free text prompt: Write your own prompt for complete creative freedom.
• Number of images: Generate anywhere from 1 to 64 images.

I wanted to see the difference between the standard image generation engine and the v2 engine.

First, I generated a mix of close-ups, full-body shots, and outdoor shots with the standard engine. And honestly, these images were already better than most I saw with other AI girlfriend apps.

Standard engine images:

Then I tried the same with the v2 engine. And as you can see, it takes realism even further. The images are high-quality, ultra-realistic, and it's even hard to tell if these are AI or real girls.

V2 engine images:

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? All the images are being generated from the same girl.

Video Generation

Candy AI

You can also turn any image into a video, but it comes with limitations. You can't describe the video yourself, and the video won't show anything explicit.

On the bright side, the videos look nice, and they're high-quality.

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

If you want to see explicit videos, you can unlock the girl's private content. These are 1–2 minute compilation clips of a girl doing a bunch of nasty stuff. They're fun to watch, but they come at a price as they cost a lot of tokens.

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.

It works, but it doesn’t sound natural or warm.

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.
