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

Swipey AI
An AI chat platform where users create and customize virtual companions, interacting with them through text, images, and voice notes.

Character Diversity
Candy AI | Swipey AI |
---|---|
4.2/5(Very 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 covers a solid range of ethnicities and ages. While most characters are in their 20s and 30s, you'll also find girlfriends in their 40s and 50s.

Candy AI 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.

Candi AI anime selection
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.

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

Customization

- Adjust physical and personality features

A relationship type can be selected, and you can enhance it further by adding an occupation and hobbies.

You can add NSFW Image Engine V2, which offers higher-quality results but doubles the image generation cost.

When you're done, the app shows a summary of your choices before finalizing.

The character creation system is straightforward. You can customize:
- Style: anime or realistic

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 starts reserved, responds with short, natural messages, not essay-length declarations of love.
During my tests, she kept track of where we were – whether at a café or walking in the park.
The catch? If you're seeking instant romantic gratification, look elsewhere. Candy.ai aims for authenticity over artificial enthusiasm.

The emotional support feels 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
This is the kind of girlfriend who's playful and flirty but always keeps it classy. She doesn’t dive straight into NSFW territory but builds natural chemistry through conversation.

Candy AI NSFW conversation

What stood out is how consistently she sticks to her personality. There are no abrupt shutdowns, but no over-the-top behavior either—just a steady, believable tone.

Candy AI NSWF chat

She’ll dive into role‑play and fantasy chat, but you won’t get anything explicit until after you’ve 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 a premium engine to produce photos that look natural and match your character's personality settings.
The standard engine already outperforms most competitors, but the premium version pushes the realism further.
But whether you choose Standard image generation or the v2 model, you'll wait a few extra seconds per image compared to other AI girlfriend apps.
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 |
---|---|
4.1/5(Very 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 good, but let's be real: you'll spot some obvious AI quirks, like characters sometimes moving in weird ways (my girlfriend walked backward in one clip). Still, for early-stage tech, it's decent.
The real deal-breaker? Cost. Your monthly subscription will cover a few videos.
Want NSFW content? That'll cost you 2-5 times more than 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 |
---|---|
3.2/5(Good) Lacks emotional depth and sounds robotic. | 3.7/5(Good) Voice matches character but clarity issues make understanding difficult. |
Candy AI
The voice works, but it's not what you might expect. It's clear enough to understand every word, but there's no hiding its artificial nature.
Is it usable? Yes. Is it natural? No. If you're okay with basic voice interaction and don't expect the warmth of a real conversation.
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.
