CrushOn.ai vs Pephop AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

CrushOn.ai vs Pephop AI

I've spent a full week with both CrushOn.ai and Pephop 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.

CrushOn.ai

Adult conversational platform for AI girlfriend creation with text- and audio-based features, supporting multiple language models.

Pephop AI

Pephop AI offers customizable AI companions through text and voice communication, allowing users to choose between safe-for-work and more mature content.

Character Diversity

CrushOn.ai

Looking for an anime-focused AI companion? CrushOn.ai specializes in exactly that.

Their character library is built specifically for fans of anime, fantasy, and cartoon personalities - not realistic characters.

The selection goes beyond standard options. Instead of basic ethnicity choices, you get fantasy characters like vampires, demons, and elves.

Finding your perfect match is straightforward: browse by categories like Popular, Trending, or Editor’s Choice.

You can also refine your search by selecting character tags like Femboy, Futanari, Game, Furry, or Lesbian—or simply use the search bar to get exactly what you want.

Most characters come from the user community, so the selection grows daily—though quality may vary.

Worth noting: CrushOn.ai focuses on NSFW characters, especially anime-inspired ones. If that’s what you’re after, it’s a solid match.

Pephop AI

When I tested it, Pephop AI offered more than 36,500 characters to choose from — most of them anime-style.

However, if you’re looking for more realistic characters, you might find the selection a bit limited.

When it comes to fantasy variety, though, Pephop AI really shines — featuring everything from traditional anime personalities to supernatural beings across a wide range of scenarios.

And as creators add public characters, selection will grow. Just remember that user-created content means quality isn't always consistent.

Most of the characters on Pephop AI are meant for adult users.

Refining your character selection is easy with filters for category or personality traits, or by using the search bar — both methods work perfectly.

You can also preview your chosen character in more detail — including her creator, profile, and community comments.

Browsing has one small downside: you can only view 21 characters per page, and you’ll need to click “Next Page” to see more.

Customization

CrushOn.ai

CrushOn.ai gives you two ways to create within the app:

1. Create a character
2. Create a target game

Create a Character

This option provides two ways to build your character:

• Upload a character card
• Build from Scratch

Upload a Character Card: Import existing character cards with support for Pygmalion, Text Generation, or TavernAI (JSON or image).

Building from scratch: Offers control, but the app only lets you upload a character image — no physical customization.

Personality builder customization is done through free text input of your character’s traits — no presets provided. You can set up the following:

• Basic Info: Name, Age, Gender
• Intro & First Greeting
• Rating: Sensitive words and topics are automatically blocked.
• Character Profile: Personality (detailed description), Appearance, Scenario (environment)
• Tags: Keywords to help others find your character

You can pick from 40 female voices and control who can see your character.

In Chat Settings, select a recommended LLM model to ensure the best balance and dependable performance for your character.

Target Play

CrushOn.ai includes a unique Target Play feature that gamifies conversations. With it, you can:

• Create a character for the game
• Set a target name and description
• Define rules for how scores change during interactions
• Adjust the initial score and maximum rounds, with progress tracked automatically

This system lets you set shared goals with your AI companion and follow progress as your interactions unfold.

Note: CrushOn.ai gives you full creative freedom with text and provides detailed guides to support character creation, though the process can still feel overwhelming for beginners.

Pephop AI

You can upload or select an image, or import a Tavern PNG file — that’s about it for physical customization.

Creating a character starts with the simple:

• Introduction: A short public description shown on the profile
• Tags: Up to 5 tags for search and user reference
• Type: Choose between a Public Bot or a Private Bot
• Rating: Select SFW or NSFW (Not Safe for Work)

Once the basics are set, you can define your character’s personality and context:

• Personality: Describe traits, background, and behavior in free text
• Initial Message: The first message your character sends
• Scenario: Provide context or a setting for the chat
• Example Dialogs: Define your character’s tone and speaking style

Note: Creating characters through free text offers more creative freedom but comes with a learning curve and may take some time to master.

Chat Experience

CrushOn.ai

Before chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, which includes her introduction, creator, chat history, reviews, and more.

You can also set a user persona by sharing details about yourself, and the AI girlfriend will adjust her responses to match your personality.

Chat personalization lets you tweak behavior with presets like “Don’t refuse input,” “Reduce repetition,” or add your own rules.

The app also lets you change your character’s voice, with multiple options for speech, narration, and volume control.

Another feature is group chat, where you can invite up to five characters from the roster and set a shared background story.

CrushOn.ai’s chat offers suggested responses that keep conversations moving, letting you simply go with the flow.

The chat experience largely depends on the LLM model you choose. For my testing, I used Taurus Pro 8K, which is currently the most popular option.

I chose a loving, caring girlfriend-type character who adapted to my style with playful, romantic consistency.

As our chat went on, my girlfriend’s character grew more flirty and playful, keeping a teasing, seductive charm while still adapting to my tone.

While my girlfriend is great at playful, flirty banter, she often sidesteps deeper emotional conversations by shifting back into a lighter, teasing tone.

For example, when I asked for emotional support, my girlfriend began with care and understanding, but soon shifted into flirty ‘how to unwind’ suggestions instead.

Pephop AI

Chat settings are straightforward — choose your preferred AI model (OpenAI or KoboldAI) and adjust the response style to suit your taste.

You can add a persona card to introduce yourself to the character — share your background, your relationship, and the defining details of your story.

For my test, I chose a character described — “your childhood friend who’s always pushing you, but has developed a crush on you.”

My girl stayed in character and stuck to her personality, regardless of how I interacted with her.

During emotional scenarios, my girl maintained her teasing, dominant tone — fitting for a friend, but not entirely supportive.

My girlfriend could use a bit more spontaneity — her emotions sometimes feel measured rather than instinctive.

For relationship-focused chats, the app performs better than most AI companions I've tested, but don't expect human-level understanding.

NSFW Chat Experience

CrushOn.ai

The good? My girl was definitely game for intimate chats and wasn't shy about sexual topics.

Some roleplay scenarios actually hit the mark, building tension that felt natural.

But here’s the catch — when things got going, my girl sounded like a broken record, even though I’d checked the option to reduce repetition.

During my tests, my girl sometimes lost perspective—starting a story about us but then switching to “he,” which felt like a generic memory instead of our shared experience.

Even stranger, a character I created and set to “unfiltered” still refused to respond to certain sexual topics.

Pephop AI

For my NSFW chat experience, I chose a character called “Moriko the Unsatisfied MILF” — a flirty persona designed for more adult-themed interactions.

Unlike many conversational AIs that lean either too innocent or overly explicit, Moriko finds the sweet spot.

My girl built tension through suggestive hints rather than crude language.

When conversations got steamier, my girlfriend kept up naturally without feeling mechanical or scripted.

But here's the catch: My girl sometimes gets stuck in loops, repeating similar phrases and scenarios.

During testing, my girlfriend also struggled with basic context switches - like keeping old role-play references when switching to new scenarios.

Despite these flaws, Pephop AI delivers a more engaging NSFW experience than most competitors I've tested.

Image Generation

CrushOn.ai

Let’s cut to the chase — CrushOn.ai doesn’t have an image generation feature.

Instead, it offers only a few user-created characters with limited anime images that can be triggered during chat.

The system is straightforward: if your AI girlfriend has images, your character will display them in her messages to match the scenario — with varying success.

And the quality? The images are mostly well-drawn anime-style pics, but it really depends on what the user has uploaded.

Pephop AI

The app doesn't have an image generation feature you'll want to look elsewhere.

Video Generation

CrushOn.ai

If seeing your companion's face and expressions matters to you, you'll want to explore other options.

Pephop AI

Video generation simply isn't part of their feature set.

Voice Generation

CrushOn.ai

My girl spoke naturally — no robotic undertones or awkward pauses like you might expect from artificial speech.

During testing, I noticed that when conversations shifted from casual to intimate, my girlfriend's tone became noticeably more flirtatious.

Pephop AI

You can only use the voice feature during live calls — no messages or recordings. The app lets you choose between Classic and Premium voices.

I tested the premium voices — the sound is clear and decent, though still a bit robotic.

When your AI girlfriend gets flirty, her tone becomes a bit more expressive.

Safety & Privacy

CrushOn.ai

Despite having basic security measures, CrushOn.ai isn’t transparent about how it protects your chats.

CrushOn.ai stores all chats as anonymized conversations for AI training, but it also collects additional data and shares it with advertisers, vendors, and business partners.

The app shows up as “subscribestar.com” on your bank statement — a small but useful layer of discretion.

Pephop AI

No end-to-end encryption is mentioned anywhere in their policy.

The app shares your information with "third-party service providers." But they won't tell you who these providers are or what they do with your conversations.

They collect your personal info, but won't tell you how long they keep it or what exactly they store.

Your bank statement says “Pephop AI” — which isn’t very discreet.
