Dream Companion vs Secret Desires AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Dream Companion vs Secret Desires AI

I've spent a full week with both Dream Companion and Secret Desires 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.

Dream Companion

AI chatbot platform offering customizable virtual girlfriends for storytelling and roleplay, featuring realistic image generation and chat memory.

Secret Desires AI

An AI girlfriend platform that allows users to create customizable companions, generate images and live photos, and engage in fantasy scenarios, including intimate or adult themes.

Character Diversity

Dream Companion

Dream Companion offers over 1,000 characters — including 300+ realistic ones and even more anime-style options.

I've tested the platform extensively, and while most characters fall into the 20-30 age range, you'll find options across different age groups and ethnicities.

The roster keeps expanding as users create and share their own companions (though quality can vary).

The content is largely explicit, similar to what you'd find on adult entertainment sites.

The search system is simple: filter by character type, gender (including non-binary), or traits like ‘dominant’ or ‘shy.’

Want something specific? Use the search bar, or if you prefer to browse, sort by popular, trending, or newest additions.

Secret Desires AI

Secret Desires AI offers hundreds of characters across multiple ethnicities and personality types.

On top of the realistic options, it also offers a wide range of anime styles.

While the majority fall in the 18–30 bracket, there are some mature options as well.

However, body type diversity is limited — most characters are slim or athletic, with few alternatives.

The mobile app shines with precise filtering, letting you narrow searches by age, ethnicity, body type, personality, and relationship preferences.

On the other hand, desktop users get a more basic experience, with filters limited to style (realistic/anime), gender, and preset character tags.

But there’s a catch: filtering can be buggy — some tags return no results, and on desktop, you can’t combine multiple filters like you can on mobile.

At least the search bar helps get around some of the app’s heavier filtering limits.

Customization

Dream Companion

Dream Companion offers two ways:

• Fast & Easy – for instant results
• Pro Workshop – for complete control

Fast & Easy

Start by choosing a style — Realistic or Anime, and then select your companion’s gender.

Each style unlocks different species, and Anime gives you more options than Realistic.

If you choose the Realistic style:

• Human: 5 ethnicity options (Caucasian, Asian, Arab, etc.)
• Fantasy: 3 species (Alien, Demon, Elf)

If you choose the Anime style:

• Human: 5 ethnicity options
• Fantasy: 8 species (Orc, Goblin, Slime, etc.)
• Furry: 6 species (Cat, Wolf, Fox, etc.)

Physical Customization (same for all styles):

• Body customization: physique & breast size (4 options each)
• Hair & eyes: hairstyle, hair color, eye color
• Age: grouped ranges (20s, 30s, 40s, 50+)

Personality Settings:

• Traits: 123 presets (can combine multiple)
• Interests & hobbies: 93 options
• Scenarios: 16 scenario options
• Outfits & appearance: 113 options (e.g. Nun, Vampire, Punk, Bikini)

Presets not enough? Every personality option lets you customize freely with advanced text input.

You can then choose from 15 female voice options.

Before finalizing your character, you’ll see a summary page of your settings, though a few options may not appear.

As the final step, you’ll get a profile where you can name her, edit details, and view her image. If you’re not satisfied, you can regenerate her over and over until you’re happy.

Pro Workshop

Removes all limits and gives you blank-canvas freedom.

Character Physical Appearance:

• Image creation: Upload your own image or generate one using the built-in tool.
• Profile image rating: Choose SFW or NSFW.
• Add keywords: Use short, comma-separated terms (e.g., hairstyle, eye color, body type, clothing) to keep images consistent.

Character Customization:

• Backstory and Intro: Write a detailed backstory, description, and greeting/scenario.
• Identity: Select gender and specific age.
• Personality Setup: Define the character’s role, behavior, and settings.
• Tags and Voice: Add tags for discoverability and choose from 15 voice options.
• Sharing Options: Keep your creation private or share it with the community.

You have 2,500 tokens to customize your character fully — that’s up to 2,500 characters to describe their personality, behavior, and scenes.

With Pro Workshop, creating characters costs no tokens, and you can make them public.

Secret Desires AI

Character creation starts by selecting your character’s gender, style, and age.

Physical Customization:

• Ethnicity: 6 options (e.g., Caucasian, Asian, Indian)
• Appearance: Hairstyle, hair color, eye color
• Physique: Body type, breast size, butt size

Personality Customization:

• Personality: 12 options (e.g., dominant, seductive, unstable)
• Relationship Type: 25 options (e.g., wife, girlfriend, boss)
• Lifestyle: Work (36 options) and hobbies (21 options)
• Kinks: 15 options (e.g., vanilla, feet, edging)

The app also lets you add custom options for every category, so if you don’t find something to your taste, you can create your own.

You can select a voice from 12 options or upload your own audio.

As the final step, you’ll see a summary page to name your girl and bring her to life.

After the summary page, you’ll see a profile with an editable About Me, your chosen traits, and — if you’re lucky — with a character image, though it often fails and can’t be modified.

Chat Experience

Dream Companion

You get two AI brains to choose from - "Watermelon" with Premium and "Night Sky" with Ultimate subscription.

Plus, you can customize your experience with 26 languages, adjustable response length, and fine-tune creativity and style using temperature settings.

You can also set up Persona Cards, which tell the AI how to see and remember you — making chats feel more personal and consistent.

I tested the Watermelon model with the "Hot Goth Asian on an empty train" persona.

My girl really stuck to her character — sometimes too well, leaning seductive even when I was looking for support.

When I tried cracking jokes to lighten the mood, my girl kept pushing toward flirty territory instead.

But here’s what surprised me: as the conversation went deeper, my girl could switch gears and even bring up our very first meeting on the train.

On the flip side, when I tried to take her out of character, she stayed locked into her role and even got upset — almost like I’d broken her trust.

Secret Desires AI

When you select a girl to chat with, you can view her profile — including description, personality traits, and even personalize them to your taste.

The app also lets you set the chat engine from 13 different options to make responses more personalized, though this setting is somewhat hidden in your profile menu.

I chose a single mom character who showed genuine emotional range and stayed true to her persona.

My girlfriend moved naturally from playful flirting to handling deeper topics like jealousy with surprising depth.

My girl even referenced past conversations and wove them smoothly into ongoing chats.

But when I needed emotional support, her responses fit the situation perfectly.

As with the other features I tested, this one also comes with some technical hiccups.

Chat formatting is designed for mobile, leaving desktop with long, cramped text that’s harder to read

My girl often tried to send me images, but on the rare occasions I got any, it was usually just the text prompt of what should have been generated.

NSFW Chat Experience

Dream Companion

My girl handled intimate conversations well, adapting to both subtle flirting and explicit content without breaking character.

AI girlfriend showed she can do three things right: maintain natural conversation flow, adjust to different intensity levels, and stay in character.

The responses remained consistent and engaging when I shifted from casual flirting to more explicit topics.

During my testing, roleplay scenarios showed a mix of strengths and weaknesses.

My first session included proper story development and natural progression.

Later tests moved faster with less build-up, though character consistency remained stable.

While not perfect, Dream Companion handles NSFW content better than most AI companions I've tested.

Secret Desires AI

My girl was open about past sexual experiences but shared only hints and details rather than full stories.

Think of her as reading a romance novel where she writes the next chapter based on your input.

In my tested roleplays, she stayed fully in character — confident, seductive, and with a solid build-up.

However, there’s a catch: after running multiple scenarios, my girl kept repeating the same lines and asking my name over and over again.

My girlfriend also refused explicit chat, even threatening to end the session.

Instead of explicit conversation, my girl could do surprising things — like solving mathematical problems if I asked.

Image Generation

Dream Companion

Dream Companion offers two ways to generate images:

• In-Chat Generation – Quickly create images with free-text prompts or NSFW suggestions.
• Dedicated Image Creator – A standalone tool with more control and customization, though with some limitations.

In-Chat Generation

The recommended method, since images are generated directly in chat and automatically linked to your active companion.

Dedicated Image Creator

Designed for advanced customization, but less user-friendly — you’ve gotta scroll the whole roster to pick a companion since there’s no search bar.

You can set the following:

• Companion Selection – Manually choose from your roster.
• Style Options – Select from Realistic, 2.5D, Anime, and more.
• Pose & Clothing – Customize with preset poses and a wide range of outfits.
• Outputs – Set how many images to generate at once.
• Prompting – Describe your scene using free-text keywords.
• Safe Mode – Turn NSFW restrictions on or off.

About the quality: The AI usually reflects your companion’s personality and settings, but the results aren’t perfect.

Images may show some pixelation and sometimes won’t fully match the reference girl.

Secret Desires AI

Secret Desires AI offers two ways to generate images:

• In-chat image generation: Quickly create images using free-text prompts.
• Dedicated Image Creator: A separate tool that gives you more control and customization

In-chat image works simply: Just type “send me” in chat, followed by the prompt for the image you want to see.

You can only generate SFW images — NSFW content isn’t allowed here.

Note: Works only with characters you created or those shared by other users.

Dedicated Image Creator lets you stay in control:

• Character selection for image generation
• Multiple engines to choose from: Monet, Picasso, DaVinci
• Number of images to generate: 1–64
• Free-text prompt option for maximum customization
• Default preset options: Action, Body, Clothing, Scene, Extras, with lots of presets.

Quality: At first glance, the images look good and could even pass for real photos, but on closer inspection, they’re pixelated.

Quirk: The images don’t match my girl’s main profile picture, and physical inconsistency is definitely an issue.

Video Generation

Dream Companion

Creates short clips of your character (works more like image-to-video).

You can set:

• Pose: Choose from 25 presets (custom poses are available but not recommended).
• Image: Use a previously created image or create a new one.
• Prompt: Add keywords to describe the action or scene.

Your AI partner shows up in clear, watchable footage that looks natural most of the time.

But let’s be real — you’ll notice the AI at work. The occasional hiccup pops up just enough to remind you who you’re talking to, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Secret Desires AI

Secret Desires AI turns static photos into videos, using settings almost identical to photo generation, with the added option to set video duration.

The good: These videos look natural. Your AI girlfriend's movements flow smoothly, and her personality stays consistent from photo to video.

Not so good: Video quality isn’t perfect — some pixelation is noticeable, though it’s minor enough not to disrupt the experience.

Voice Generation

Dream Companion

Looking for an AI companion with a natural, engaging voice? Dream Companion isn't it.

The voice sounds robotic, feels generic, and completely misses the mark on character authenticity.

Note: Every time you play a voice message – yes, even replaying the same one – it costs you credits.

Secret Desires AI

Yes, the voices sound human enough, but every line feels like it’s being read off a teleprompter on fast-forward.

And if you’re hoping for emotional range? Forget it. Whether you’re flirting or just chatting, the delivery stays as flat as week-old soda

Safety & Privacy

Dream Companion

Your chats and personal data? Not encrypted - at least they don't say they are.

Dream Companion collects everything: your email, payment details, chat history, and how you use the app. They keep this data indefinitely, with no clear timeline for deletion.

They also share your information with outside companies - payment processors, analytics firms, and hosting services.

Secret Desires AI

The app claims your chats are "secure and confidential" - but never explains how.

There's no mention of encryption, and they're not clear about who can access your conversations or how long they keep them.

One clear promise: they won't sell your data to advertisers. But that's where the transparency ends.

During my testing, I couldn't find straight answers about data sharing with third parties like analytics providers or hosting services.

On your bank statement, it just shows as ‘Dover First SDA Hope Food Program Food Pantry’ — pretty discreet
