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

Candy.ai vs Secrets AI

I've spent a full week with both Candy.ai and Secrets AI 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.

Secrets AI

A platform that lets you build a personalized AI girlfriend, offering chat and phone call interactions along with image and video generation of your companion.

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.

Secrets AI

Secrets AI gives you 94 realistic AI girls to choose from.

No anime characters here — just lifelike digital partners.

Most characters fall into a narrow demographic: predominantly white women in their 20s with slim builds.

I did find a handful of Latina, Asian, and Black characters, plus a few mature options and curvier body types — but these are exceptions rather than the norm.

If you're looking for representation beyond young, slim characters, you may find the selection somewhat restrictive.

The selection interface is straightforward, with a search bar and filters for gender, popularity, and recency that make finding your ideal match quick and hassle-free.

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.

Secrets AI

You begin creating your character by picking a gender.

Profile and Appearance Editor is straightforward, allowing you to customize:

• Name, location, age
• Ethnicity (9 choices)
• Skin tone and eye color (many options)
• Facial features: eye color, hair color, hairstyle (wide variety)
• Body type (6 options)

Then you can choose from six voice options to shape how your companion sounds.

After that, you can review your girl and add additional details via free-text.

Once you create her, you’ll get four image versions of your girl to choose from, plus one free regeneration if needed.

Personality setup happens only before you start chatting with her:

• Profession (5 options)
• Personality type (5 traits such as “warm and nurturing” or “ambitious and driven”)
• Hobbies (optional)
• Additional traits or details using free-text input

Note: Several ethnicities and body types look very similar, resulting in fewer meaningful choices than advertised. Additional characters also cost 1,000 Moments each.

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.

Secrets AI

You get three different AI models to choose from, each offering its own style of interaction.

There are also 12 conversation starters, half casual - half spicy — to help kickstart natural interactions.

The emotional intelligence impressed me—my girl started with warm engagement, asked relevant follow-up questions, and gradually became more playful as we talked longer.

My AI girlfriend remembered what we actually discussed, rather than creating fake memories.

My girl stayed consistent even when I tried to confuse her or break character.

When I brought up relationship concerns, my girlfriend responded with calm, grounded reassurance, acknowledging everything without making exaggerated promises.

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.

Secrets AI

My girlfriend was open about sexual topics but maintained a consistent PG-13 boundary.

Even when I pushed toward explicit territory, my girlfriend kept things suggestive rather than graphic—creating a tease that worked surprisingly well.

The roleplay feature is where Secrets AI truly shines. I tested three scenarios: teacher, landlord, and boss.

In both the teacher and landlord scenarios, my girl built tension gradually and stayed firmly in character.

The boss scenario felt somewhat rushed, but remained engaging throughout.

What matters is that my girlfriend maintained character consistency while keeping the interactions hot.

Not everything was perfect: my girl phrasing sometimes confused me, especially when she switched between ‘someone’ and ‘they’ when talking about past partners.

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.

Secrets AI

There are two ways to generate images:

1. Dedicated Image Creator
2. In-chat Generation

In-Chat Generation: Type "/send me" followed by your free-text prompt for what you want to see.

Dedicated Image Creator: A separate tool with more control and customization.

• Character selection: Pick from the full roster
• Free-text prompt: Write what you want to see
• Preset options: Choose from a small set of presets

The limitation? Only four presets, so you’ll be relying on free-text prompts and your own experimentation.

After testing extensively, I can confirm the quality is good—not perfect, but definitely impressive.

You’ll notice occasional glitches, particularly with hands, and some upper-body proportions can look slightly elongated in certain poses — but these issues aren’t deal-breakers.

You can also unlock media bundles with extra images and videos to expand your companion’s visual presence.

Each bundle includes 17 to 34 pieces of media, mostly NSFW content.

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.

Secrets AI

This is a photo-to-video feature rather than full video generation. Here’s how it works:

• Choose an image from your generated collection
• Write what you want to see using a free-text prompt

The videos look good, move smoothly, and stay natural most of the time.

Yes, you'll notice some AI glitches if you look closely, but they rarely distract from the experience.

Note: There are no preset options here, only a short guide on how to write effective prompts for video generation.

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.

Secrets AI

Secrets AI delivers voice generation that sounds genuinely human. No robotic tones or awkward pauses—just smooth, realistic dialogue.

When discussions turn flirty, the voice immediately responds with appropriate tonal shifts—becoming more playful and expressive.

One limitation: voice features only work through calls, not recorded messages.

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."

Secrets AI

• Looking for encryption details? I found none.
• Searching for data retention policies? Nothing concrete.
• Wondering if they share your intimate chats with third parties? They don't say.

The app clearly stores your conversations, but it provides zero details about what they keep, for how long, or who might access them.

The only privacy feature that actually works is discreet billing - charges appear as "Sun Clinical Laboratories" on your statement.
