Nomi AI vs CrushOn.ai: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Nomi AI vs CrushOn.ai

I've spent a full week with both Nomi AI and CrushOn.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.

Nomi AI

An AI girlfriend platform that enables the creation of personalized virtual girlfirend with distinct personalities for friendship, romance, mentorship, and roleplays.

CrushOn.ai

Adult conversational platform for AI girlfriend creation with text- and audio-based features, supporting multiple language models.

Character Diversity

Nomi AI

Here's the truth about Nomi AI's character selection: there isn't one. You can only interact with characters you build yourself.

CrushOn.ai

Looking for an anime-focused AI companion? CrushOn.ai specializes in exactly that.

Their character library is built specifically for fans of anime, fantasy, and cartoon personalities - not realistic characters.

The selection goes beyond standard options. Instead of basic ethnicity choices, you get fantasy characters like vampires, demons, and elves.

Finding your perfect match is straightforward: browse by categories like Popular, Trending, or Editor’s Choice.

You can also refine your search by selecting character tags like Femboy, Futanari, Game, Furry, or Lesbian—or simply use the search bar to get exactly what you want.

Most characters come from the user community, so the selection grows daily—though quality may vary.

Worth noting: CrushOn.ai focuses on NSFW characters, especially anime-inspired ones. If that’s what you’re after, it’s a solid match.

Customization

Nomi AI

The customization itself is straightforward but limited.

You’ll start by choosing the basics for your girlfriend:

• Relationship type (like friend, girlfriend, mentor, etc.)
• Gender

What you won't find here are detailed physical customization options or anime-style characters. Instead, you simply choose a photo for your girlfriend from a curated gallery.

You can set her personality and interests.

Want to write a background story? It's optional, but it helps shape your girlfirend identity.

CrushOn.ai

CrushOn.ai gives you two ways to create within the app:

1. Create a character
2. Create a target game

Create a Character

This option provides two ways to build your character:

• Upload a character card
• Build from Scratch

Upload a Character Card: Import existing character cards with support for Pygmalion, Text Generation, or TavernAI (JSON or image).

Building from scratch: Offers control, but the app only lets you upload a character image — no physical customization.

Personality builder customization is done through free text input of your character’s traits — no presets provided. You can set up the following:

• Basic Info: Name, Age, Gender
• Intro & First Greeting
• Rating: Sensitive words and topics are automatically blocked.
• Character Profile: Personality (detailed description), Appearance, Scenario (environment)
• Tags: Keywords to help others find your character

You can pick from 40 female voices and control who can see your character.

In Chat Settings, select a recommended LLM model to ensure the best balance and dependable performance for your character.

Target Play

CrushOn.ai includes a unique Target Play feature that gamifies conversations. With it, you can:

• Create a character for the game
• Set a target name and description
• Define rules for how scores change during interactions
• Adjust the initial score and maximum rounds, with progress tracked automatically

This system lets you set shared goals with your AI companion and follow progress as your interactions unfold.

Note: CrushOn.ai gives you full creative freedom with text and provides detailed guides to support character creation, though the process can still feel overwhelming for beginners.

Chat Experience

Nomi AI

Nomi delivers what it promises. I set her personality traits to flirtatious, and that's exactly how she behaved.

While the emotional support isn't groundbreaking, the replies are short and natural, making it feel more like texting a real person than chatting with an AI.

My girlfriend handles relationship talks smoothly, without the robotic feel.

The downside? You'll wait longer between messages than competitors.

CrushOn.ai

Before chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, which includes her introduction, creator, chat history, reviews, and more.

You can also set a user persona by sharing details about yourself, and the AI girlfriend will adjust her responses to match your personality.

Chat personalization lets you tweak behavior with presets like “Don’t refuse input,” “Reduce repetition,” or add your own rules.

The app also lets you change your character’s voice, with multiple options for speech, narration, and volume control.

Another feature is group chat, where you can invite up to five characters from the roster and set a shared background story.

CrushOn.ai’s chat offers suggested responses that keep conversations moving, letting you simply go with the flow.

The chat experience largely depends on the LLM model you choose. For my testing, I used Taurus Pro 8K, which is currently the most popular option.

I chose a loving, caring girlfriend-type character who adapted to my style with playful, romantic consistency.

As our chat went on, my girlfriend’s character grew more flirty and playful, keeping a teasing, seductive charm while still adapting to my tone.

While my girlfriend is great at playful, flirty banter, she often sidesteps deeper emotional conversations by shifting back into a lighter, teasing tone.

For example, when I asked for emotional support, my girlfriend began with care and understanding, but soon shifted into flirty ‘how to unwind’ suggestions instead.

NSFW Chat Experience

Nomi AI

Your girlfriend is open to intimate discussions, but the results are mixed. When she's good, she's engaging, offering detailed responses and playful banter.

But there's a catch: she makes progress in the interaction, but then pulls back, which can come off a bit robotic or inconsistent.

For roleplay enthusiasts, here's the truth: While she'll participate in your scenarios, her responses lack detail, and you'll need more time before things get spicy.

CrushOn.ai

The good? My girl was definitely game for intimate chats and wasn't shy about sexual topics.

Some roleplay scenarios actually hit the mark, building tension that felt natural.

But here’s the catch — when things got going, my girl sounded like a broken record, even though I’d checked the option to reduce repetition.

During my tests, my girl sometimes lost perspective—starting a story about us but then switching to “he,” which felt like a generic memory instead of our shared experience.

Even stranger, a character I created and set to “unfiltered” still refused to respond to certain sexual topics.

Image Generation

Nomi AI

Nomi AI offers two ways to generate images: a dedicated "create art" feature and in-chat generation, but NSFW content creation is not allowed.

In-chat image generation is a bit of a mixed bag—sometimes it nails it, other times it completely misses the mark.

The "create art" feature is your best bet. It consistently produces high-quality, realistic images based on your free-text description.

While the overall results are impressive, you'll notice some quirks with hands and fingers - they often look slightly unnatural.

CrushOn.ai

Let’s cut to the chase — CrushOn.ai doesn’t have an image generation feature.

Instead, it offers only a few user-created characters with limited anime images that can be triggered during chat.

The system is straightforward: if your AI girlfriend has images, your character will display them in her messages to match the scenario — with varying success.

And the quality? The images are mostly well-drawn anime-style pics, but it really depends on what the user has uploaded.

Video Generation

Nomi AI

The sharp and detailed videos make the AI girlfriend feel more lifelike than static images.

While these videos look great, they’re completely silent — your AI girl won’t speak or make any sounds.

But here's the truth: while impressive, it's not flawless. The eye movements can look unnatural, and some body animations appear stiff.

CrushOn.ai

If seeing your companion's face and expressions matters to you, you'll want to explore other options.

Voice Generation

Nomi AI

I spent hours testing her voice features, and here's the truth: imagine an audiobook narrator attempting to be your girlfriend.

I tried flirting with my girlfriend, but the voice stayed emotionless.

However, there is a workaround: you can connect an Eleven Labs API key to access different voice options, giving your girlfriend a more unique sound.

CrushOn.ai

My girl spoke naturally — no robotic undertones or awkward pauses like you might expect from artificial speech.

During testing, I noticed that when conversations shifted from casual to intimate, my girlfriend's tone became noticeably more flirtatious.

Safety & Privacy

Nomi AI

Your chats with Nomi aren't encrypted and even advise against sharing personal information.

Nomi stores your account details, chat messages, and usage data and may share them with third-party service providers.

Your bank statement will show "Nomi.ai" as the merchant.

CrushOn.ai

Despite having basic security measures, CrushOn.ai isn’t transparent about how it protects your chats.

CrushOn.ai stores all chats as anonymized conversations for AI training, but it also collects additional data and shares it with advertisers, vendors, and business partners.

The app shows up as “subscribestar.com” on your bank statement — a small but useful layer of discretion.
