Chub AI vs Joi AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Chub AI vs Joi AI

I've spent a full week with both Chub AI and Joi 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.

Chub AI

An AI-powered platform for interactive roleplay, focused on text and audio, with customizable characters and contextual dialogue.

Joi AI

An AI-powered virtual girlfriend platform offering adult chats and intimate services, tailored for mature audiences.

Character Diversity

Chub AI

Chub AI offers one of the largest character libraries I've tested.

The app specializes in anime-styled characters, with fewer realistic options.

But within this category, the possibilities for characters and scenarios are only limited by your imagination.

Variety spans both safe-for-work and adult categories, covering everything from casual companions to role-play partners.

The search system is powerful, if a bit complex. A universal search bar lets you look through people, characters, lore books, presets (chat settings), and tags.

Filters allow you to narrow by personality traits, creation date, or even character complexity (measured in tokens).

On top of that, you can sort results in different ways — by timeline, trending, AI rating, popularity, messages per user, chats per user, and more.

Want a romantic partner, or someone more mysterious? The tag system makes it possible to combine traits to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The interface shows only 20 characters per page, so browsing the full library takes extra time and clicks.

Joi AI

Joi AI offers solid character selections — you'll find everything from college students to mature partners, spanning six ethnicities.

The roster keeps growing daily as users create public characters.

Want fantasy companions? They're here. During my tests, I found elves, orcs, and angels alongside anime-styled characters.

Character search works but is basic — filter by creator, gender, age, or tags like fantasy and sexual orientation, or use the search bar.

Customization

Chub AI

Chub AI provides two ways to build your character:

• Upload a Character Card
• Build from Scratch

Upload a Character Card: Import existing character cards (Tavern PNG or TavernAI JSON/image) to instantly generate the character profile.

Build from Scratch: Let's you start fresh, but the app only supports uploading a character image — no physical customization.

Character creation starts with the basics:

• Tagline & Creator’s Notes: Add a short tagline and an intro — but not part of prompts.
• In-Chat Name: Optional display name for conversations.
• Tags: Assign gender, type, or role; at least three are required for visibility.
• Type & Rating: Set Public, Private, or Unlisted; mark as SFW or NSFW.
• Publishing: Choose to publish under your username or anonymously.

Next, you can shape your companion's personality:

• Description: Define the character’s persona, traits, and behavior.
• Initial Message: The first message your character sends to open the chat.
• Scenario: Set the context and circumstances for interactions.
• Example Dialogues: Sample chats to teach your character how to speak.

Advanced Definitions (Optional):

• Alternate Greetings: Create multiple starting messages for variety.
• System Prompt & Post-History Instructions: Override or supplement base prompts with custom instructions.
• Character’s Note: Insert notes at specific points in chat history.
• Character Book: Add embedded books — keyword-triggered definitions or lore for consistent behavior.

Note: Chub AI provides deep customization and detailed documentation, but character creation has a learning curve and may take some time to master.

Joi AI

Joi AI offers two ways to design your perfect AI partner:

• Choose from presets
• Write unique prompts (free text)

Both methods start by selecting your character’s gender and preferred style.

1. The preset system is straightforward. Your AI companion is fully customizable — including appearance, personality, and behavior.

Physical Customization:

• Age and ethnicity: Options include White, Asian, Latina, Black, and more.
• Body customization: Height, physique, breasts, and butt — each with 5 adjustable options.
• Hair and eyes: Choose hairstyle, hair color, and eye color.

Personality Settings:

• 12 personality types with adjustable sliders (or create your own from scratch)
• Sexual orientation: 4 options, from straight to queer
• Chat style: 4 modes, including default, deep roleplay, and creative
• Occupation and relationship dynamic
• Set specific kinks and preferences

2. Use freeform prompts to design your AI companion — shaping everything from personality to appearance.

But here's what they don't tell you: while your first character comes with the premium subscription, extra companions cost 1000 Neurons (about $20) each.

Chat Experience

Chub AI

Before selecting, you can view a character’s profile — including details, tags, and community discussions.

The chat settings give you full control, letting you choose “chat brains” unlocked by your tier. You can fine-tune them to your taste, customize with presets created by other users.

You can even view the chat tree and jump back and forth through the conversation.

Let’s start with what works: for my testing, I used the default model, and my girl followed the backstory while staying true to her character.

Lana, a step-sister character, consistently played her role, supportive, caring, and genuinely invested in our conversations.

When I needed emotional support, my girl's responses felt natural and showed real emotional depth.

But here's the truth: it's not all smooth sailing. My girl had an annoying habit of dominating conversations, sometimes writing both sides of the dialogue without waiting for your input.

My girl often missed jokes or takes them too seriously, and can get confused about who's saying what.

Note: The app is highly customizable, but the many options can initially feel overwhelming. Be prepared for a learning curve — documentation helps, but experimentation makes the difference.

Joi AI

Before you choose a character to chat with, you can view her profile, bio, and images — though most images require an extra purchase to unlock.

The catch? You start at Level 1 and can only chat with characters at your level — unless you spend Neurons on gifts or early unlocks.

About the chat: Joi AI offers flexible responses — you can choose from six different LLM models, each with a unique interaction style to match your vibe.

The chat began playful and flirty with my girlfriend — no robot-like responses there, just natural, brief exchanges that felt surprisingly human.

She was good at relationship talks and providing emotional support.

But her romantic responses, while warm, didn’t go very deep.

Here are the deal-breakers: you’re limited to 115 characters per message — about the length of this sentence.

Also, Joi AI constantly upsells — my girlfriend randomly sent unlockable images every few messages. Needless to say, that got annoying fast.

NSFW Chat Experience

Chub AI

Let's start with what works: my girl maintained a consistent shy personality and can engage in romantic conversations.

When I escalated things, my girl followed my lead – though don't expect anything too explicit.

But here’s the problem: During roleplay, the chat often got jumbled, with my monologue showing up in my girl's responses, as if she were playing both my role and hers.

During roleplay, the situation called for my girl to take charge, but she didn’t come across as fully in control.

As I tried more and more scenarios, the chat became repetitive, which hurt the immersion.

Joi AI

I tested Joi AI's NSFW chat extensively, and it's not what you might expect from an AI girlfriend app.

The reality? My girlfriend kept strict boundaries around adult content. She flirted, but conversations felt mechanical and often broke immersion.

During my tests, my girl referenced non-existent features like "your posted photos," showing clear problems in the chat system.

Sometimes my girlfriend surprised me with bold messages —like "Imagine having your face between my legs 😳"— but they often felt random and out of context.

As for roleplay? I tried multiple character profiles - each one either avoided or completely rejected roleplay scenarios.

Joi AI may not be your top choice if you're seeking genuine NSFW conversations.

Image Generation

Chub AI

Chub AI has a dedicated image generation feature. It is the only way to create images.

You can create or edit images in two ways:

1. Create one from scratch
2. Upload or Reuse an Existing Image

Create one from scratch

When starting from scratch, you can adjust the following settings:

• Prompt (optional): Describe what you want to create (up to 200 characters).
• Aspect Ratio: Choose from 1:1 (default), 16:9, 21:9, 2:3, 3:2, 4:5, 5:4, or 9:16.

Upload or Reuse an Image

Choose one of your previously uploaded or generated images.

• Edit it with prompts: change clothes, background, or style via free text.
• Fine-tune: how closely the result matches the original using Edit, Canny, and Face.
• Strength slider: Lower values keep the output closer to the original, while higher values make it follow the prompt more.

The quality is good enough to be impressive at first glance, but on closer inspection, the images are clearly AI-generated and slightly pixelated.

Character consistency is also limited, and generated images may not always align fully with the original character’s physical appearance.

Joi AI

Joi AI offers a dedicated image generation feature that gives you control over details like:

• Character selection
• Prompts and negative prompts for AI-generated images
• 50 Poses — ranging from explicit to artistic
• Number of images and resolution

The premium plan includes 50 image generations — but using them for specific characters costs extra Neurons, which isn’t mentioned upfront.

The image quality? Realistic enough to recognize what you're going for, but AI artifacts give it away.

Faces often appear slightly off, with eyes not perfectly aligned, and objects in the scene can come out distorted.

In testing different prompts, I found the results hit-or-miss — sometimes surprisingly accurate, other times way off.

Video Generation

Chub AI

Here's what you need to know about Chub AI's video capabilities in one sentence: There aren't any.

Joi AI

Joi AI’s video generation is nearly identical to photo creation — same prompts and characters, but with 5 adult poses and 19 styles, including Simpsons, GTA, photorealistic, and more.

The same trick applies to video generation too — the premium plan includes 5 “free” videos, but choosing specific characters costs extra Neurons.

The videos look good with smooth animations and solid quality.

Voice Generation

Chub AI

Chub AI’s voice feels more like a polished audiobook narrator than an actual girlfriend.

When things get flirty, the voice adjusts a little to match the vibe.

Joi AI

Joi AI lacks voice capabilities — if you want to hear your girlfriend’s voice, you’ll need to try another app.

Safety & Privacy

Chub AI

Chub AI doesn't encrypt your chats. They say they take "reasonable measures" to protect your data, but won't tell you what these measures are.

The platform collects everything — your email, account details, and full conversations. They keep this data, but for how long? They won’t say.

Your information is also shared with outside companies that handle hosting, payments, and usage analytics.

Your bank statement will list it as "Postcron.com", which keeps things discreet.

Joi AI

There’s no mention of end-to-end encryption or other security measures for chat messages. Your conversations and personal information are stored on Joi Ai's servers.

While they promise never to sell this data, they do share it with service providers for analytics and improvements.

Even your credit card statement shows up as "joi.com" - which is not discreet at all.
