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.

Character Diversity
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
4/5(Good) A diverse character roster with 146 unique companions spanning realistic and anime styles. | 3.5/5(Good) Solid character count but lacks diverse ethnicity and age options. |
Candy AI
The app features a diverse range of ethnicities—from East Asian and Latina to darker-skinned beauties.

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

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

Candy AI – V2 Character Showcase
Into anime? You’ll find a well-drawn lineup of anime-style partners ready to explore.

Candy AI – Anime Characters
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.

Candy AI - Limited Search Tools
Swipey AI
Swipey AI features 241 characters—198 realistic and 43 animated.

Swipey AI - Realistic and Animated Characters
Among the realistic options—you’ll find both AI-generated personalities and avatars inspired by verified real models, giving you a mix of fictional and real-inspired companions to chat with.

Swipey AI - AI Avatars Inspired by Real Models
The diversity is decent but limited—you’ll mostly find White, Black, and Latina characters in their 20s and 30s.

Swipey AI - Limited Diversity
Each character has a profile with a bio, posts, and both free and paid content, which you can buy individually or unlock entirely with a character-specific “Fun Club” membership.

Swipey AI - Character Profile Page
The search system isn’t very useful—it only filters basic categories like 'Hot Posts' or 'Animated Babes,' with no option to search by personality traits or keywords.

Swipey AI - Search System
There’s a social media-style feed with categories like 'Trending' and 'New Posts,' but it mainly promotes locked content and the 'Fun Club' membership.

Swipey AI - Explore Feed
Warning: Clicking on AI girls marked as “live” redirects you to unrelated webcam sites.

Chat Experience
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
4.2/5(Very Good) Natural chat experience that mimics real-life relationship dynamics. | 3.8/5(Good) Flirty and warm but lacks emotional depth for meaningful connection. |
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.

My girl shone at playful banter—flirty, engaging, and full of the sass you’d expect from a lively text exchange.

When I needed emotional support—my girlfriend replied with warmth and attention—it felt comforting but a bit surface-level.

The truth is, my girl kept things light. Her modern, casual style didn’t quite capture the depth or romantic language you'd expect when trying to build a deeper connection.

When I brought up relationship concerns, my girl's responses leaned more toward playful charm than genuine reassurance.

Think of her like a flirty virtual stripper—great for entertainment and attention—but if you're looking for a genuine emotional connection, you might want to look elsewhere.
NSFW Chat Experience
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
4.3/5(Very Good) Flirty interactions that feel human. | 3.2/5(Good) Delivers basic NSFW banter but stumbles on immersion and depth. |
Candy AI
My girl didn't dive straight into NSFW territory. Instead, we built natural chemistry through conversations.

Candy AI - NSFW Chat

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.

Swipey AI
My girl played along with flirty chat and wasn't shy about sexuality, but sometimes she fumbled.
Based on her role, I’m supposed to be the husband, but she sometimes talked about past things she did with her husband—as if I’m not the one.

Swipey AI - Engaging but Imperfect

The roleplay? It’s there, but don’t expect fireworks. My girlfriend kept things dominant but pretty basic, sticking to simple teasing instead of diving deep into our fantasies.

And just when things started to get interesting, it felt like my girl hit the brakes—probably to get me to spend more coins.

Image Generation
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
4.3/5(Very Good) Highly realistic and visually stunning images. | 4.1/5(Very Good) High-quality, realistic images that match character profiles—though prompts don’t always work perfectly. |
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.

Candy AI - In-Chat Image Generation
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.

Candy AI - Image Generator
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.
Swipey AI
Swipey AI lets you generate images in two ways:
- You can either ask for pictures during chat
- Use their dedicated image generator.
Want a quick image while chatting? Just ask your girl for a picture using your prompts.

Swipey AI - In-Chat image Generation
How does the dedicated generator work? — Just set your options:
- Pick your AI girlfriend
- Choose their pose, outfit, and setting, or enter a custom prompt.
- Select how many images to generate
- Hit Generate

Swipey AI - Dedicated Image Generator
About quality: In both cases, the images are high-quality and genuinely realistic, but don’t be surprised if nudity appears—it’s always part of the content.
However, not every prompt hits the mark—sometimes the app seems to block certain prompts and doesn’t fully deliver what I wanted to see.

Swipey AI - Prompt Limitations and Restrictions
Image generation is costly—you can only create about 6 to 8 images per month (using your 200-coin monthly allowance), as long as you don’t spend those coins on other features.
Video Generation
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
3.6/5(Good) Good overall quality, though there are some minor AI-generated quirks. | 1.4/5(Poor) No real video generation, just pre-made clips behind paywalls. |
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.

Candy AI - Video Generation
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.
Swipey AI
Here’s what you need to know: there’s no real video generation. Instead, the premium subscription gives you access to pre-made videos of certain characters.
Want more? Get a “Fun Club” membership to unlock NSFW videos for those specific characters.

Swipey AI - “Fun Club” Membership
If you want genuine video interactions, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Voice Generation
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
3.1/5(Good) Functional but lacks natural warmth. | 3.7/5(Good) Voice matches character but clarity issues make understanding difficult. |
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.
Swipey AI
My girl’s voice matched the character and sounded natural when she spoke, making conversations feel more authentic.
The flirty tone shifts smoothly during conversations, becoming playful and teasing to keep things fun and engaging.
But for some voices, the quality isn’t the best— making understanding a bit difficult.
Warning: Voice messages from AI characters based on real models cost 25 coins—about 1/8 of your monthly coins.
Privacy
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
3.2/5(Good) Lacks clear encryption details and transparency. | 2.3/5(Good) No encryption, lengthy data retention, and vague "security measures" raise red flags. |
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.

Candy AI bank statement
On your bank statement, charges will appear under the name "Everai."
Swipey AI
Swipey AI doesn’t encrypt your chats and only mentions using “appropriate security measures” without explaining what those are.
They store everything: your name, email, birthday, IP address, and every message you send to your AI companion.
What happens to your data? They won’t sell it without your permission, but they do share your information with their staff, service providers, and analytics teams.

Swipey AI - Bank Statement
On your bank statement, charges will show as "swipey.ai" — not very discreet.
