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

Candy AI vs Thotchat AI

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

Thotchat AI

A virtual girlfriend platform featuring customizable AI partners in both realistic and anime styles, designed to foster emotional and romantic connections through engaging adult chats and high-quality image generation.

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.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI's selection breaks down into 102 realistic and 50 anime characters.

All common ethnicities are available—you can choose from Asian, Latina, and Caucasian appearances for realistic characters.

For fantasy/anime types, options include— elves, cyborgs, catgirls, and other imaginative designs.

But here's the catch: almost every character is young (18-30) and slim or athletic.

Finding a companion is straightforward: you can sort by popularity or new arrivals, filter by style, and choose female, male, or futa characters.

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.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI offers two ways to create your girlfriend:

• Easy Mode
• PRO Mode

Both start by selecting your character’s gender (female, male, or futanari) and choosing a style.

Easy Mode: You can fully customize your AI companion by clicking through options to build your character.

Physical Customization:

• Age 18+ to 55
• Ethnicity: 8 options (10 for anime characters)
• Appearance: body type, breast size, butt size, hair style, hair color, eye color
• Aesthetic & clothing: 4 aesthetics (e.g., goth, bimbo, gyaru), 33 clothing options
• Extra details: tattoos, horns (6 options)

Personality & Interaction:

• Add personality traits: 14 options (e.g., lover, innocent, dominant)
• 5 voice options
• Relationship role: 12 options (e.g., wife, lover, stranger)

A final summary page lets you review your character before bringing them to life.

PRO Mode drops the training wheels and lets you create everything via free text:

• Describe your character: appearance, personality, clothing, and any unique features
• Greeting message: what your character says when starting a conversation
• Example conversation: a sample dialogue that guides your character’s behavior

It takes more time but gives you complete creative freedom. No pre-set limits—just your imagination.

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.

Thotchat AI

Before you start chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her description, character traits, some SFW images, and unlockable NSFW content.

You can set a user persona for a deeper, more personal connection, or create new scenarios to play out with your AI girlfriend.

For my tests, I created a companion with the ‘Temptress’ personality—playful, flirtatious, and always leaving me wanting more—and set our relationship type to “girlfriend.”

My girl stayed true to her personality throughout conversations.

When I needed emotional support, she was empathetic and playful, offering gentle touches, teasing remarks, and lighthearted guidance.

Our conversations about romantic getaways felt natural, with her staying fully in character throughout.

Even when relationship issues came up, she responded with clear, confident answers—sometimes a bit too confident—but always attentive.

But my favorite part was when my girl sent me images during our chats—most were free, unlike other apps where they’re usually behind a paywall.

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.

Thotchat AI

My girl stayed personal and engaging. When I asked about her past, she said it was with me (of course), but left room to mention her wild past if I wanted to satisfy my curiosity.

My girlfriend flirted naturally, teased playfully, and referenced past chats to make the connection feel real.

The roleplay feature could use some improvement — I tried a few scenarios, and they all jumped into action too quickly without building tension, which felt a bit jarring.

But once I got past the initial rush, my girl adapted to the scenario really well and made it exciting.

Something a bit annoying: the narrative text sometimes blended with my girl’s dialogue, making her responses harder to read.

Another issue was: My girlfriend kept calling me “Anon” even though my profile name was set to Marcus.

Once I pointed it out, my girl quickly corrected herself and started using my name in all our conversations.

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.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI offers two options for generating images:

• In-chat generation: Instantly creates a selfie or unlockable nude image—details can’t be customized.
• Dedicated image creator: A separate tool offering more control and customization for creating detailed images.

In-Chat Generation: Occasionally, you may receive repeated or similar images, but you can request unlimited SFW images of your character.

Dedicated Image Creator lets you control every detail:

• Character Selection: Pick from the full roster (no filters or search bar).
• Prompt Suggestions: Add details such as action, clothing, environment, and emotion.
• Free Text Prompting: Craft your own prompts for complete creative freedom.

The images are high-quality and nearly photorealistic, with consistent characters, though a slight animated look is noticeable on closer inspection.

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.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI doesn’t generate videos. If you’re looking for video features, you'll need to look elsewhere.

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.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI’s voice works, but don’t expect magic: it comes through clearly, but you can tell it’s AI-generated.

Flirty conversations? The voice stays flat no matter what.

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."

Thotchat AI

While Thotchat says they use "acceptable security measures," they don't specify what these measures are.

They collect your personal data (name, email), usage data (IP address, device info), and can share it with third parties.

The bank statement shows "CCbill.com Thotchat" - something to keep in mind if you prefer discretion.
