Candy AI vs Soulfun AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Candy AI vs Soulfun AI

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

Soulfun AI

AI girlfriend platform offering customizable virtual friends with conversational abilities, voice calls, and photo sharing.

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.

Soulfun AI

The app offers 53 AI girls across different backgrounds. While Asian and Caucasian characters lead the pack, you'll find other ethnicities too.

Age-wise, most characters are in their twenties, but options range from college students to mature companions. For variety, there are also twin characters, anime-style personalities, and fantasy-themed options.

One drawback: there's no way to filter characters by personality or gender. You'll need to browse manually to find your match. It works, but it could be more efficient.

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.

Soulfun AI

There's no detailed character creator here. Instead, you describe how you want your AI girlfriend to look and upload a photo for reference. But heads up - no matter what body type you describe (athletic, curvy, or slim), they all end up looking similar.

The personality setup is straightforward: click on pre-made tags for hobbies, profession, and relationship status, or add your own.

You'll also write their first greeting and profile description.

But watch out - I learned this the hard way: if you change the tags without updating the profile description, things get messy. My AI girl kept switching between being a teacher and a police officer because I forgot to fix her background story.

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.

Soulfun AI

Soulfun AI's chat is like having a caring but slightly forgetful friend. The AI remembers small details about you - like when it suggested almond milk for my shake because it recalled my dairy allergy. Nice touch.

But don't expect a perfect memory - it can't remember where we first met or when our anniversary is.

The conversations flow naturally and feel intimate. Your AI girl responds with just the right amount of text - not too chatty, not too brief.

When I was feeling down, my AI (who's into fitness) suggested hitting the gym together. It's these personalized touches that make the experience feel genuine.

But there's a catch. The AI sometimes forgets who they're supposed to be. Mine switched between being a police officer and a teacher, which broke the illusion pretty quickly.

And if you're looking for specific relationship dynamics (like having a dominant partner), you might be disappointed. The AI tends to default to a friendly, nurturing personality, regardless of how you set it up.

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.

Soulfun AI

The AI starts shy but warms up to intimate talk over time. Don't expect instant chemistry. When I tested a "Mistress" character, she was meant to be dominant but easily let me take control - a clear character break that might bother roleplay enthusiasts.

Some scenarios work better than others: the naughty teacher roleplay hit all the right notes, while the boss-employee scenario fell completely flat.

Here's the deal-breaker: the girls won't make the first move. During my tests, it only got flirty when I did first. If you keep things casual, it stays casual.

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.

Soulfun AI

When it works, it creates attractive, realistic-looking images of your AI girl. But there's a catch.

During my tests, I noticed quality issues: hands merging into arms, multiple characters appearing in single photos, and your girl's appearance changing dramatically between images.

The platform struggles with custom image requests and sometimes fails to generate them at all. And if you're hoping for NSFW content, you'll need to look elsewhere - it's not available.

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.

Soulfun AI

I tapped the video call button multiple times during my testing. Each attempt ended the same way - nothing happened. It's there on the menu, teasing you with possibilities, but that's where it ends.

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.

Soulfun AI

The voice quality hits the mark - it sounds natural, not robotic. You get different voice options, including ones for older characters, which adds variety.

While you can pick voices during setup, they might not always match your AI girl's personality. Think of it as having a sweet, gentle character stuck with a bold, assertive voice.

Voice calls are available, and they work well. You can talk to your AI companion just like you would with a real person. There's also an option to add custom voice-overs if you want to personalize the experience.

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."

Soulfun AI

Your chats and personal data? SoulFun says they encrypt everything, but they're not telling us how. I checked their Privacy Policy - they collect your texts, media, and device info, but they're fuzzy on the details of who they share it with.

Think of it like a restaurant that promises "fresh ingredients" but won't tell you where they source them.

Good news: your bank statement will show "60yr.com" - not "AI Girlfriend" or anything obvious.
