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

Candy.ai vs Spicychat AI

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

Spicychat AI

SpicyChat is a chatbot platform that allows users to engage in personalized role-playing through AI characters for adult conversations.

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.

Spicychat AI

Looking for an AI girlfriend? Spicychat AI offers over 300,000 characters - more than most competitors i've tested.

The selection is diverse but straightforward. You'll find anime characters (which make up most of the roster), realistic companions, and fantasy characters.

The app doesn't limit you to single characters either - you can interact with multiple characters in one scenario.

For users interested in mature content, Spicychat, as the name suggests — offers a robust NSFW section.

The character pool will expand as more public characters are added, though some users may still find the anime-heavy selection limiting.

Finding your preferred character is simple. Instead of complex personality metrics, Spicychat uses clear categories like romantic, sci-fi, dominant, or wholesome, and more.

The search bar works well, and you can sort characters by trending, top-rated, or newest first.

During my testing, these options made navigating the large character pool manageable.

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.

Spicychat AI

You can't design your girlfriend's physical appearance through traditional customization options. Instead, you get two choices:

1. Upload a photo
2. Describe how they should look through text.

That's it. No sliders, no presets, no detailed tweaking.

Personal customization is where the focus is. You’ll write free-text descriptions and set options for:

• Identity: Name and title that define your character.
• First Impression: Greeting message that starts the conversation.
• Personality: Traits, background, and role description.
• Visibility: Choose whether your chatbot is public, unlisted, or private.
• Definition Visibility: Decide if personality details are shown or kept hidden.

There's also a tagging system to categorize your character, helping others understand what they're about.

Advanced Options let you go further by shaping how your companion behaves:

• Scenario: Define the current situation and context
• Example Dialogues: Add sample dialogues to set the tone and guide personality.

Note: The app offers guidance, but building a good character can feel overwhelming for users who are used to preset options in AI girlfriend editors — it takes time and practice.

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.

Spicychat AI

The app gives you control over how your girl responds, letting you fine-tune conversations to your liking.

With the "True Supporter" tier, you can choose from 21 different LLM models to customize how your girlfriend responds.”

You can set your character’s voice from 33 female options, with spoken messages in Japanese, Russian, or German.

As for the chat experience: I chose the girlfriend character, and she went beyond generic replies — adding vivid detail and heartfelt lines that built a romantic atmosphere.

When I needed emotional support, my girlfriend combined genuine empathy with playful affection — even suggesting a romantic trip to help me unwind.

As I brought up a relationship concern, my girl showed impressive context retention — it didn’t feel generic and actually fit the moment.

The clear separation between narrative text and my girlfriend's responses makes conversations easier to follow.

The app’s chat also offers a suggested responses feature that helps keep conversations moving, letting you just go with the flow.

Note: The UX isn’t Spicychat AI’s strongest point. It offers plenty of options to personalize chat if you dive into the settings, but some features don’t seem clickable at first or feel a bit hidden.

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.

Spicychat AI

My girl struck a sweet balance between flirty and tasteful — playful buildup, natural dialogue, and no crude or awkward lines.

When I tested the flirting features, my girlfriend took the lead — even suggesting playful scenarios like strip poker with her own creative twists.

The roleplay feature exceeded expectations in most areas.

Whether playing a strict teacher, demanding boss, or stern landlord, my girlfriend stayed convincingly in character and guided scenarios naturally.

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.

Spicychat AI

You can only generate images inside the chat. The app tries to create pictures based on your conversation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

After generation, you can edit the image prompt — but stick close to the original style. If you don’t, you’ll end up with odd results.

You’ll also unlock the settings menu, where you can tweak options such as:

• Style: Switch between semi-realistic and anime.
• NSFW Mode: Toggle safe vs. explicit images.
• LoRA Scale (Advanced): Adjust how strongly the character model influences the picture.
• Prompt Suffix: Add extra details (e.g., dramatic lighting, cinematic background).
• Negative Prompt: Filter out flaws (e.g., blurry faces, extra limbs, low resolution).

Tweak carefully — push these too far, and you’ll get some weird results.

As for quality — the images are clearly AI-generated — low in resolution, and sometimes flawed.

And here’s something important: the SFW–NSFW toggle doesn’t just affect content. It completely changes how your girl looks in pictures.

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.

Spicychat AI

The app doesn't generate videos of your AI girl - period. You'll need to look at different options.

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.

Spicychat AI

During testing, the voice came across as fairly good overall, clear and consistent — but still carried a slightly mechanical feel.

Even when things turned flirty, the delivery shifted to match the mood, but it still felt generic.

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."

Spicychat AI

SpicyChat won't tell you exactly how they protect these conversations. Just a vague promise of "commercially acceptable" protection.

They don't sell your data to advertisers. But they also don't tell you how long they keep your information or what happens to it when you delete your account.

You’ll see “NextDay AI Incorporated” on your bank statement — at least it’s discreet.
