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

Joyland AI vs Kupid AI

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

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.

Kupid AI

A virtual girlfriend platform that enables conversations with customizable AI characters through text and voice interactions. It features personalized characters, roleplay options, and both image and video generation capabilities.

Character Diversity

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.

Kupid AI

While Kupid AI claims to offer hundreds of characters, a closer look shows that many are minor variations—often reusing the same base models with different hairstyles or outfits.

They don’t hesitate to duplicate characters either, sometimes showing the same girl multiple times without even bothering to change her name.

The diversity basics are covered: you'll find characters of different ethnicities, along with 30+ anime-style options and fantasy types like witches and demons.

Most girls are young adults (18–30), and while there are a few "mature" characters, they often don't look their stated age.

Character filtering is basic but functional— Instead of a search bar, you get preset filters for physical traits (curvy, slim), hair color (blonde, brunette), and character types.

Customization

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.

Kupid AI

Kupid AI lets you create a companion exactly how you want—with full customization.

The physical customization covers everything that matters. You choose:

• Figure and proportions: body shape, bust and butt size, and height
• Ethnicity (5 options)
• Facial features: hair color and style, as well as eye and lip color
• Even intimate details: pregnancy or pubic hair

The customization system also lets you choose your character’s clothing—from casual wear to formal attire, complete with all the expected accessories.

What makes this customization unique is its personality system. Instead of picking random traits, you choose between clear opposites: Warm or Cold, Dominant or Submissive, and so on.

You also have access to advanced (optional) settings, where you can define details such as:

• Backstory: royal, nomad, slave
• Occupation: doctor, nurse, teacher, artist
• Hobbies: reading, painting, baking, fishing
• Dreams: fame, fortune, family, peace
• Relationship status with you: lover, stranger, enemy

Chat Experience

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.

Kupid AI

You can pick different chat styles (like Whisper, Wordsmith, or Spicy) and watch your relationship grow through a Love Meter that unlocks new content as you chat or send gifts.

First impressions count, and Kupid AI started strong — Instead of boring text messages, my girlfriend introduced herself through video.

But the good first impression faded fast: On desktop, the chat layout is broken—messages are narrow, stretched, and hard to read.

The initial charm wore off even more once the conversation started: My girlfriend dove into deep talks about a "shared past" and planned camping trips — though we’d just met.

During our chats, my girlfriend was supportive and kind—offering stress relief tips and warm, comforting responses.

But my girl jumped straight into forced intimacy—it felt like speed dating on steroids, with over-the-top flattery and talk of coffee dates minutes after meeting.

NSFW Chat Experience

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.

Kupid AI

Let me cut straight to the chase: Kupid AI's NSFW chat feature isn't ready for prime time.

My girlfriend started flirty conversations and discussed intimate topics, but couldn't keep her story straight.

One minute, my girlfriend shared steamy experiences; the next, she claimed she was completely innocent and hadn’t done anything like that.

Want to spice things up with roleplay? Don't hold your breath. My girl either flat-out refused to play along or got oddly hung up on irrelevant details.

Like demanded fair treatment in a landlord roleplay instead of staying in character.

And when she participated? My girlfriend ended up playing the entire scene alone, leaving me as just a spectator.

Image Generation

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.

Kupid AI

Kupid AI offers two ways to create images:

1. Quick generation in chat: Generate images on the spot using prompts.

• You can generate images using a free text prompt,
• Or you can use Kupid AI's suggested prompts for image creation.

But here’s the catch: When you use the suggested prompts for image creation, you’re mostly getting pre-made images from a library.

I tested this several times — same prompt, and often got the same image.

2. The dedicated image generator gives you more freedom to customize:

• Choose your character
• Pick their action and outfit
• Adjust settings like body type, camera angle, and scene

And the images? Despite using the same girl, the results vary wildly—she often looks different, and the overall quality is just average.

Video Generation

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.

Kupid AI

Kupid AI's video generation offers both:

• Text-to-video
• And image-to-video options

Both work almost identically, except that with text-to-video, you choose a character, while with image-to-video, you select an image of a character.

But here’s the truth: text-to-video often fails due to errors, while image-to-video works—though even then, videos rarely follow the prompt.

The quality is mediocre, with visible flaws and unnatural movements, though they mostly resemble the character in the image.

Voice Generation

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.

Kupid AI

Finally, something glitch-free—but don’t expect top quality: my girl’s voice sounds clear yet robotic, lacking the emotional depth of a true companion.

Want to flirt? Share an intimate moment? It doesn’t matter — she responds in the same flat tone, no matter what you're talking about.

Safety & Privacy

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.

Kupid AI

Your private chats aren't encrypted - at least Kupid AI never mentions it.

They store everything: your personal details, conversations, and usage data. And they keep it all for 6 years after you delete your account.

On your bank statement, the charge appears as “Kupid” — not exactly subtle.
