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

Muah.ai vs Sakura AI

I've spent a full week with both Muah.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.

Muah.ai

Virtual companion platform featuring customizable AI characters that allow for chat, photo, video, and voice interactions.

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

Muah.ai

Muah.ai offers thousands of characters, created by an active community of developers.

You’ll find girls across different ages and ethnicities, with both realistic and anime-styled options.

The app also includes fantasy scenarios with multiple characters or roleplay setups.

But here's the catch: finding your ideal match takes time.

You can explore by top creators or filter through categories like SFW, NSFW, or LGBTQ+, and characters can also be sorted by popularity.

The browsing system isn’t refined — realistic and anime characters appear mixed together, and there’s no way to filter by specific traits or gender.

The universal search bar helps, and while it’s not perfect, it works well enough to track down characters.

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

Muah.ai

You get two ways to create a character:

• Import a Community Character Card and tweak it to fit your vision.
• Built from scratch with full customization

Import — you can adjust details like:

• Name
• Core data
• Appearance

Build your own from scratch — no physical presets:

• Choose a photo style: hybrid, realistic, or none
• Select her voice (9 female options)
• Describe appearance, personality, texting style, memories, and location via free text

Advanced options (membership tier–dependent):

• Adjust photo quality: from basic up to 4K UHD
• Choose an “AI brain” with up to 11 options
• Fine-tune AI settings: Temperature, Frequency Penalty, and Presence Penalty
• Link a phone number for voice calls (currently US-only)

Note: Muah AI provides detailed guides to help with character creation, but the process can still feel overwhelming for beginners — even the app itself recommends starting with pre-made character cards.

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

Muah.ai

First, the basics: Muah.ai offers a single chat window with an outdated interface.

The chat itself is unstable — during my tests, the app crashed repeatedly, forcing me to restart the entire conversation from the beginning.

And when it did work, things got even stranger: my girlfriend Lisa kept calling herself Emily.

Other times, my girl replied with ‘Sorry, I can’t help with that’ even to a simple ‘Hi.’

On another occasion, she sent me a random image of a male character, despite her persona being my wife.

Save your time, money, and sanity — better to check out other options.

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

Muah.ai

Let's cut to the chase: Muah.ai promises an uncensored AI girlfriend experience, but falls short.

During my testing, my girlfriend repeatedly refused basic flirtatious conversations and role-play scenarios.

Even mild suggestive chat attempts hit a wall.

Technical issues made things worse. The chat randomly reset itself, wiping out entire conversations.

But occasanly, when I wasn’t ready for it, Muah AI’s uncensored side kicked in — my girl went off-topic or dropped messages halfway.

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

Muah.ai

You can only generate images in chat by typing “Send me a photo of…” followed by your description.

The results look realistic enough to stay engaging, and most of the photos matched my character’s personality — though the AI’s handiwork still shows, with the occasional anatomical oddity.

Note: If the chat window crashes and your history resets, you’ll lose all previously generated images since the app has no image gallery.

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

Muah.ai

You can create a video by clicking on an image, selecting the ‘Create Video’ option, and entering a free-text prompt for what you want to see.

The animations flow fairly well, but they’re clearly AI-generated — shorter than competitors’ and often showing unnatural movements that break the illusion.

Sakura AI

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

Voice Generation

Muah.ai

The voice quality is clear, with only a slight robotic edge — maybe a touch better than most AI voices.

Conversations sound reasonably human-like, but don’t expect much emotional depth or strong alignment with your character’s personality.

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

Muah.ai

Despite Muah.ai claiming to use end-to-end encryption, it's nowhere in their privacy policy.

Worse? They suffered a massive data breach in October 2024. User chats were stolen. Yes, you read that right!

They're honest about storing your data, and your bank statement shows a discrete "Blue Light" charge.

But there's a catch - they share your personal info (name, email, phone number) with third parties.

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".
