GirlfriendGPT vs Joyland AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

GirlfriendGPT vs Joyland AI

I've spent a full week with both GirlfriendGPT and Joyland 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.

GirlfriendGPT

A platform for creating personalized AI girlfriends with customizable personalities, ideal for roleplay and unique preferences.

Joyland AI

Joyland AI is a platform for creating and interacting with customizable anime-style AI companions through text chat, offering character design, role-play, and interactive storytelling.

Character Diversity

GirlfriendGPT

The app starts by asking about your interests—pick 5–8 preferences, and it will personalize your experience with a selection of compatible characters.

The character library is huge. You'll find adult companions of all ages and body types.

Want someone realistic? They have that.

Prefer anime or fantasy characters? Those too.

You can even explore a variety of roleplay scenarios to choose from.

Finding characters is straightforward: sort by popular, new, or top-rated, or use the search bar and suggested searches.

Filter by personality (dominant, submissive, or balanced), scenario types, or specific features.

No complicated menus or confusing options – just pick what you want and browse matching characters.

Joyland AI

Looking for an AI companion? Joyland AI offers thousands of characters to choose from.

Most characters are anime-styled, with some realistic designs, along with options for roleplay scenarios or group chats.

Joyland, like many anime-focused apps, doesn’t emphasize ethnicity. Instead, it offers a wide range of character types — from goth girls to mafia bosses, and even furry companions.

There's also a novel-like feature where you can dive into interactive stories about billionaire romances and forbidden love.

Special events (like the current goth theme) keep the content fresh and offer Premium rewards for active users.

The app also features regularly updated channels showcasing the most liked characters, trending picks, and recommended creators.

You can filter by broad categories like Romance or Anime, but there’s no way to narrow characters down by personality traits or gender.

The search function opens in a separate window with limited results, making character discovery less efficient than it could be.

Customization

GirlfriendGPT

While you can’t customize physical appearance with sliders or buttons, you can generate images of your character simply by describing how they should look.

Setting up your character’s personality is straightforward:

• Select your character’s age and response language (English or French)
• Write a description and define personality traits, behavior, and demeanor
• Set up scenarios and craft the first message

Just remember to stick to one language throughout the setup — mixing English and French can cause your AI companion to behave unexpectedly.

You can also add searchable tags so others will know what your character is about.

From there, you can pick from 16 different female voices and control the visibility of your creation.

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

Joyland AI

The app offers two creation paths:

• Quick Creation
• Advanced Create

Quick Creation lets you import existing characters from other AI apps using .JSON or .PNG files. If you’re switching from Venus AI or SillyTavern, you can bring your companions with you.

Advanced Create is hands-on with no presets — personality customization relies entirely on free text input.

For appearance, you can upload an image or write a prompt for styled variations — no sliders or detailed editing.

Personality Builder is where most of the work happens.

Setup begins with the basics:

• Basic Info: Name, Age, Gender
• Intro: Displayed on the profile, but doesn’t influence prompts
• Categories: Choose persona type (Anime, Dating, OC, etc.)
• Visibility: Private, Unlisted, or Public

Once that’s done, you move on to adding depth:

• Scenario: Backdrop or context for interactions
• Greeting: Opening line to start conversations
• Lore (Facts & Knowledge): Keywords and memories to improve performance on skills, experiences, or backstory
• Example Dialogue: Pre-written responses for realism

Assistant Mode is also available to walk you through Character Description, providing helpful tips on what to include—but the words remain yours to describe.

You can choose from 10 voice options to give your character spoken dialogue.

The app lets you control image generation — choose intelligent AI-created pictures, train your bots with custom images, or turn it off so your character remains text-only.

Joyland AI promotes themed events like ‘Summer Party 2025’ or ‘Goath Girls’ (the ones active during my test), where characters can be temporarily showcased on home pages.

Note: The app provides guidance, but creating an engaging character can feel overwhelming for users accustomed to presets — it takes patience and practice.

Chat Experience

GirlfriendGPT

Before chatting, view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her description, creator links, chat, tags, media, and reviews.

You can set a user persona and share details about yourself, and the AI girlfriend will tailor her responses to your personality.

During my tests, using preset scenarios and this feature made conversations feel more relevant—my girl even reflected on our shared past, which made the chat feel alive.

The app also offers a "Suggested Reply" feature, which suggests responses to your AI girlfriend’s messages, making conversations flow more smoothly and stay engaging.

Yes, some romantic scenarios with my girl still felt artificial, but the emotional support features worked surprisingly well.

When I brought up relationship concerns — my girlfriend's responses were practical and grounded.

Note: I tested the chat features on the Deluxe tier. The Elite tier, which uses a Next-Gen AI Model, may provide even better results.

Joyland AI

When you choose a character to chat with, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her intro, creator, tags, and comments from other users.

With Standard and Premium plans, you can choose from four different LLM models to customize how your girlfriend responds.

You can set different user personas by sharing details about yourself, and your AI girlfriend will adjust her responses to match.

Chat Experience: My girlfriend stayed true to her personality - teasing, playful, and a smoker.

The smoker tag even led to a playful outcome — when I asked her to stop, she bargained for a kiss to quit.

These small interactions felt natural and showed that my girl can adapt to different scenarios.

For romance, expect standard scenes like beach walks at sunset, but with enough personal touches to keep things interesting.

My girl responded warmly to personal stories and showed genuine empathy when I needed emotional support.

Joyland AI’s chat includes suggested responses, giving you two options to keep conversations flowing effortlessly.

Note: Most characters are user-created, so your experience will vary depending on who you choose — I highly recommend checking comments first.

NSFW Chat Experience

GirlfriendGPT

My AI girlfriend handled sexual content like a romance novelist—no explicit language at first, but detailed enough to paint a vivid picture.

During my tests, conversations flowed naturally from casual flirting to intimate scenarios, growing more explicit as the chat progressed.

In roleplay, my girl sometimes skipped the build-up to foreplay, jumping straight into action.

In other scenarios, she fully embraced her role, creating an exciting, teasing tension that draws you into the scene.

My girl even created alternative paths if I didn’t follow her lead—like when I turned her down, she immediately shifted into a colder, more dominant role.

But here’s the catch: while her responses remained engaging, the same dominant character scenarios repeated across multiple sessions.

Note: I tested the NSFW chat features on the Deluxe tier. The Elite tier, which uses a Next-Gen AI Model, may provide even better results.

Joyland AI

My girlfriend was comfortable talking about sex, but used descriptive, thoughtful responses instead of explicit language.

During our chats, my girl discussed intimate topics openly while keeping conversations tasteful and engaging.

The roleplay feature worked well for NSFW scenarios — my girl knew how to play those naughty roles.

I tested multiple different situations, and each time, my girlfriend stayed in character and kept the story flowing.

A useful touch: the chat suggestion feature offers relevant prompts that actually fit the scene you're in.

Image Generation

GirlfriendGPT

GirlfriendGPT offers two ways to generate images:

• In-chat generation: Quickly create images using free-text prompts or NSFW prompt suggestions.
• Dedicated image creator: A separate tool that gives you more control and customization for producing detailed images.

In-Chat Generation: Even when you request safe-for-work images, it often produces provocative shots.

Dedicated Image Creator puts you in control:

• Free Text Prompting: Full creative freedom.
• Image Styles: Choose anime or realistic, and many more.
• Outputs & Creativity: Set the number of images and adjust creativity.

Note: To use the Dedicated Image Creator for a specific character, you must access it from that character’s page, and the available image styles are limited.

And the results? Impressive — professional-grade portraits with barely noticeable AI artifacts.

And the catch? All the images are being generated from the same girl.

Joyland AI

The only way to generate images is by pressing the image button in the chat interface, which generates the image directly in chat.

You can't control what you get. No prompts, no presets - just random generation.

The system adapts to your character design - choose a girl with a realistic avatar, get realistic pictures; go anime, get anime-style shots. Simple as that.

The quality? Good enough for casual use. Images look appealing at first glance, but the resolution isn’t great, and realistic ones can appear a bit pixelated.

Note: If your character was created without image options, you won’t be able to generate pictures for them.

Video Generation

GirlfriendGPT

The videos look realistic and play smoothly with no major technical issues, but the character doesn’t always stay true to its persona.

But here's the catch: This feature is beta, which means you can't create custom scenarios. Instead, you're limited to picking from pre-made prompts, all of which are NSFW.

Joyland AI

The app sticks to text chats and static images only — if you want video generation for your girl, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

Voice Generation

GirlfriendGPT

If you're looking for an AI girlfriend that doesn't sound like a robot, this gets pretty close.

But there’s a catch: your girl can sound flirty or expressive, but unnatural tone shifts can break the immersion.

Joyland AI

The voice sounds natural and matches each character's personality well.

When my AI girlfriend gets flirty or emotional, their tone changes accordingly.

But there's a catch: the audio quality feels slightly slowed down, like listening to someone through an old phone line.

Note: Not every character has a voice — if the creator didn’t assign one, your girl won’t speak.

Safety & Privacy

GirlfriendGPT

The app doesn’t mention encryption anywhere. I checked their entire privacy policy—there’s complete silence on security.

They do collect your chats, personal info, IP address, and usage data, and keep it all for six years after you leave.

Your bank statement is safe—charges appear as “xp ndai.cc” and nothing more.

Joyland AI

Your private chats? Not exactly private. Joyland uses basic security measures, but there's no guarantee of end-to-end encryption.

Joyland stores your messages, device info, and usage patterns - they keep it all, but not sure how long.

They share this data with partners, researchers and can transfer it during business deals.

You’ll see ‘Joyland Ai’ on your bank statement — not the most discreet label.
