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

A platform offering customizable AI girlfriends with emotional intelligence and memory, designed for authentic conversations and relationships through text or voice.

CrushOn.ai

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

Character Diversity

Nomi AI

No pre-made personalities, no variety in ethnicity or age, and no anime — meaning there aren’t any ready-made characters to choose from.

You’ll need to create your own girls — you can have up to 10 in total.

Want more variety? The app lets you set up 10 group chats to mix these characters.

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

As you first log in to the app, you go through the onboarding process — you’ll be asked for your name, age, and gender.

Then, it’s time to set up your AI partner basics:

• Name, and gender: Male, female, or nonbinary.
• Relationship type: Choose what kind of bond you want — from romantic partner to mentor (four options).

Want something unique? Create a custom relationship and explain its background.

Personality Builder is where things get interesting — you can select 3 to 7 traits from several categories:

• Main Characteristics: modest, sarcastic, shy, flirty, etc.
• Expressive: sassy, witty, introverted, etc.
• Temperament & Values: arrogant, dominant, humble, etc.
• Additional: gamer, magical, spiritual, etc.

Then, you can (optionally) add a background story — write your own or let the AI create one for you.

Finally, it's time to choose your companion’s look — but this is where Nomi shows its limits.

You can choose from 500 preset images: 250 anime-style and 250 realistic, with only basic options for body types.

If you’re looking for detailed visual customization, you might find the options a bit limiting — because that’s all Nomi AI currently offers in terms of physical design.

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

Customization doesn’t end once you’ve built your Nomi — you can personalize her even more after the chat begins.

In "Backstory +", you can fine-tune even more — from their appearance and personality to how they perceive you.

Within the Mind Map — personalize her memory by adding notes on her interests, goals, and defining traits.

It’s organized into Lore, Topics, and Goals — a neat way to track your relationship’s growing history.

Want to know if Nomi AI's chat feels real? I created Natalie - bold, flirty, and playful - to test it for you.

Starting a chat is easy. Choose from fun, themed ice-breakers — each with three options, or just jump right in.

After I personalized a few things in chat, I can confidently say my girl remembered those settings and stayed consistent with her personality and the situation.

When I tried some jokes, my girlfriend recognized them and played along.

While my girl was engaged in many moments, her empathy sometimes felt a bit surface-level.

And occasionally, my girlfriend’d make odd jumps in conversation — like suggesting pizza right after we planned to cook together.

But the more you chat, the better Nomi knows you — the Mind Map evolves as it keeps track of everything you’ve shared.

Over time, my girlfriend started recalling moments from our past conversations — her replies became more relevant and felt real.

Note: Your Nomi’s memory and chat personalization can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but after a little practice, you’ll find it easy to use and customize.

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

My girlfriend smoothly shifted from casual flirting to explicit content, adjusting her language as the conversations intensified.

The responses feel organic rather than scripted, and as I shifted my tone to become more explicit, my girlfriend picked up on the language and responded naturally.

What surprised me most was how my girlfriend adjusted her overall approach based on my cues — whether I leaned toward slow-building romance or more direct encounters.

Role-play is where Nomi shows real potential. During testing, she didn't just follow scenarios - she created them.

After my girl settled the rules, she stayed true to the context and consistent with her character.

In one test, I tried to throw my girlfriend off her role, but she held her ground and kept the scene flowing naturally.

While my girlfriend’s “punishment” methods got a bit repetitive, she still kept the experience engaging overall.

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:

1. In-chat image generation: Quickly create images that try to fit the conversation
2. Dedicated Image Creator: A separate tool that gives you more control over image customization.

Dedicated Image Creator

• Choose an image style: anime or realistic.
• Write a free-text prompt describing what you want to see.
• Select an aspect ratio (three options available).
• Optionally, add a reference pose by uploading an image.

Quality: Nomi’s image generator delivers generally high-quality photos, though not in high resolution.

Image generation is slower than other platforms, sometimes taking a few minutes per image, but it’s also noticeably cheaper.

Note: NSFW prompts are not allowed. The spiciest results you can get in chat are mild and only appear when they fit the current topic.

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

Nomi’s video generator isn’t full video creation — it’s more like turning an image into a short animated clip.

Here's how it works:

• Choose an image to serve as the base.
• Provide a text prompt (make sure it follows the app’s content rules).
• Select the output quality (SD or HD).

The videos work - they're watchable and add more life to your interactions than static images.

But let's be honest: the quality isn't winning any awards. The footage comes out pixelated, and the character movements often feel mechanical rather than natural.

Note: NSFW generation isn’t available, and movement prompts feel a bit limited or don’t always apply to the final video.

CrushOn.ai

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

Voice Generation

Nomi AI

Nomi AI offers four default voices to choose from, and you can upload your own custom voice to make your girl — and the overall experience — feel more personalized.

One big plus of Nomi AI’s voice feature is its ElevenLabs integration — enabling users to import and use ElevenLabs voices for greater variety, though it requires a paid plan.

Want to know how Nomi AI’s voice actually sounds? It works, but it’s a bit like a slightly robotic audiobook narrator — nothing that’ll make you go “wow.”

The voice does match Nomi’s personality, and she adjusts her tone a little when flirting or expressing emotions.

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

Their policy clearly states that your messages "may be unencrypted" - meaning someone could potentially read your private conversations.

Nomi AI stores everything. Your account details, chat history, and how you use the app - it's all saved on their servers.

They also share this information with other companies, though they don't specify which ones.

Your bank statement shows a ‘Nomi.ai’ charge — not exactly discreet.”

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.
