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

CrushOn.ai vs Sakura AI

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

Sakura AI

A character-based AI interaction platform where you can chat intimately with custom AI personalities and explore a growing community of unique characters.

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.

Sakura AI

Sakura AI offers a huge collection of anime-style AI girlfriends.

The search system is straightforward—you can filter by character type (male, female, non-binary, lesbian, etc.).

When you're looking for particular character types, you can also use keywords and toggle NSFW content on/off.

The library expands regularly as users add their custom-made characters to the public collection.

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.

Sakura AI

Instead of tweaking physical features, you'll craft your character through storytelling in freeform text.

Basic customization lets you upload an image or generate one from text.

You can set gender and voice and even add a background image to your chat.

But that's not where Sakura AI shines. The real customization happens through free-text inputs.

You write your character's description, personality, and scenario from scratch and can also fine-tune how your AI responds through Model Instructions.

The platform includes a practical tagging system (Tsundere, Vampire, Non-binary, etc.) to help categorize your creation.

However, if you're looking for detailed physical customization like choosing eye color or body type, you won't find it here.

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.

Sakura AI

I tested my girl in a role as my ex-girlfriend, and the girl is warm, stays in character, and keeps conversations flowing.

When I needed emotional support, my girls offered it with a bit of flirtation, and she played along naturally.

Whether my girlfriend talks about relationship concerns, her responses feel genuine and thoughtful.

The app includes a mature content warning, so you can expect adult conversations when appropriate.

The chat interface needs improvement, sometimes it's hard to distinguish narrative messages from my girl's.

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.

Sakura AI

During my testing, my girlfriend kept recycling the same flirty responses, even when I tried different approaches.

The biggest letdown? Her roleplay feature. My girl switches back to being my "ex-girlfriend" and starts repeating the same lines.

I tested this multiple times - same result.

The immersion breaks faster than you can say "mood killer."

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.

Sakura AI

The images are clean and well-drawn, matching what you'd expect from modern anime art.

You can't control exactly what pictures you get. The app generates random images right in your chat conversations.

If you want to direct every detail of your character's appearance, you might find the randomness frustrating.

Video Generation

CrushOn.ai

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

Sakura AI

Sakura doesn't offer any video generation, you'll need to look elsewhere.

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.

Sakura AI

After spending hours testing different conversations, I can tell you, the voice is clear but lacks any real personality.

Think of it this way: Whether I'm flirting, joking, or having a serious chat, Sakura's voice stays flat.

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.

Sakura AI

While Sakura claims to use advanced encryption, I couldn't find this explicitly stated in their policy. They also store your conversations and personal information. They share data with third parties.

On top of that, payment is more complicated than their competitors, as it requires using multiple platforms and connecting them together.

Your bank statement is safe - payments appear as "GANKPTELTD".
