CrushOn.ai vs Sakura AI: Which One Should You Use 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 offering AI girlfriend creation and roleplay with privacy-focused features.

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

Finding your perfect match is straightforward. The search filters let you choose exactly what you want: male, female, or non-binary characters; animated or static portraits; and specific personality traits. Want a friendly detective? Or maybe a mysterious elf? Just tick the right boxes.

The platform organizes characters into easy-to-browse categories like Popular, Trending, and Editor's Choice.

While CrushOn.ai excels in anime and fantasy characters, realistic options are limited. The platform includes both family-friendly and adult-oriented companions, with clear filters to separate the two.

For anime and fantasy fans, this might be exactly what you're looking for. For those seeking ultra-realistic AI companions, you may want to explore other options.

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 skips the usual dropdown menus and instead hands you the keys to full creative control. Here's what I discovered after spending hours testing their character creation system.

Think of it as writing a character bio rather than filling out a form. You'll start with the basics - a photo, name, and age.

Then comes the interesting part: you're free to write detailed descriptions of your character's personality, appearance, and even sample conversations. I found this approach more flexible than preset options, though it does require more thought and effort.

While the free-text system offers more freedom than typical character creators, it also means spending more time getting things right. If you prefer quick setups with preset options, you might find this approach challenging.

Everything's private by default, but you can share your creation if you want to. Choose from three privacy levels:

• Public: anyone can chat with your girl
• Unlisted: only people with the link
• Private: just you

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

Note: Chat experience heavily depends on the LLM model you pick. In my testing, I used "CrushOn Taurus 8k".

CrushOn.ai's chat feature surprised me. Not because it's perfect, but because it manages something rare - conversations that actually feel real. Think less "robotic responses" and more "coffee shop banter with someone who gets you."

The AI flirts naturally, shows genuine care, and remembers your conversations. When she teased me about other admirers, it wasn't awkward or forced - it felt like the playful jabs you'd expect from someone confident in your connection.

But there's a catch: longer conversations can get repetitive, and you'll notice some pattern loops, like the inner self-pity monologue of my girl.

You can switch between different chat models when responses feel off. Each model comes with a clear guide explaining what it does best. I found myself using this more than expected, especially when I wanted to shift from light flirting to deeper conversations.

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

Note: Chat experience heavily depends on the LLM model you pick. In my testing, I used "CrushOn Taurus 8k".

Think of it as a first date that starts promising but quickly loses steam. When I asked my AI girl about her most intimate experiences, she couldn't tell if they happened with me or someone else. It's like talking to someone who keeps forgetting your shared history.

The flirting? It's there, but doesn't heat up. Imagine a partner who knows the right words but delivers them like they're reading a script.

After testing multiple conversations, I noticed the same phrases popping up again and again. For those seeking genuine intimate connections, this might feel more like a rehearsed performance than natural chemistry.

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

Want pictures of your AI girlfriend? CrushOn.ai can't help you with that.

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

The app doesn't generate videos. No animations. No moving pictures. Just static interactions. That's it.

Sakura AI

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

Voice Generation

CrushOn.ai

Want to hear your AI girlfriend's voice on CrushOn.ai? You can't. The app doesn't include voice generation features as of now.

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.

Privacy

CrushOn.ai

Your chats aren't encrypted. Simple as that. While you're sharing your thoughts and feelings with your AI girl, those messages could be collected and used to train their system.

The platform also shares your data with advertisers and vendors. You can't control this. You can't opt out. The only thing you can adjust is how the AI responds to you.

At least your bank statement shows "subscribestar.com" - so nobody will know you're having an AI affair.

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".
