Ourdream.ai vs character.ai: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Ourdream.ai vs character.ai

I've spent a full week with both Ourdream.ai and character.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.

Ourdream.ai

An AI girlfriend platform that allows users to create AI partners with advanced customizable traits, generate images, videos, and engage in fantasy scenarios.

character.ai

An AI chatbot platform that enables creation and interaction with virtual characters through text conversations, featuring pre-made profiles, natural dialogue, and community sharing capabilities.

Character Diversity

Ourdream.ai

Ourdream offers thousands of AI girlfriends, representing a diverse mix of ethnicities — from Caucasian and Asian to Latina, Black, and more.

You’ll find characters in both realistic and anime-inspired styles, plus fantasy options for more imaginative tastes.

Options range from young adults to more mature personalities, with body types spanning from slim to curvy — giving you plenty of room to match your taste.

Beyond appearances, the platform also features themed scenarios — from playful challenges to unexpected encounters — adding another layer to the experience.

The selection is extensive and continues to grow daily, as users create new public characters.

Finding what you want is simple: filters let you narrow by style or traits like blonde, Asian, dominant, or romantic.

You can also browse by popularity, newest arrivals, or your personal favorites or use the search bar.

character.ai

Character.ai offers thousands of characters and chatbots, from romantic partners to supportive companions.

Even completely fictional ones, like a talking apple pie, or RPFs (real person fiction) with scenarios like a trip to Hawaii.

But there's room for improvement. The character page is sleek and scrollable, but not ideal for finding specific characters.

However, the search menu helps by suggesting trending characters and letting you filter content through various categories like romance, anime, teacher, K-pop, and more.

Customization

Ourdream.ai

Your character’s creation begins with selecting a gender and choosing a style.

Appearance customization is straightforward, with a solid editor that lets you adjust:

• General: ethnicity, skin tone, age
• Face: eye color, hair color, hairstyle (many options)
• Body: body type, breast size, butt size

Personality customization adds depth through a wide range of options:

• Voice: 19 different voices
• Personality presets: 40+ choices (sweet, shy, playful, sassy, etc.)
• Occupation: 100+ options (escort, lawyer, engineer, teacher, etc.)
• Hobbies: 100+ options (dancing, writing, cooking, painting, etc.)
• Fetishes: 60+ options (latex, spanking, tickling, roleplay, etc.)
• Relationship role: 20+ (ex, step-mom, lover, fling, etc.)

Advanced options let you fine-tune your character — add details with free-text or let the system generate them. These include:

• Public Description: short overview visible to others
• Greeting: the first message your character sends
• Scenario: roleplay or story setup
• Additional Personality Details: expand on traits beyond presets
• Extra Details: highlight quirks or unique traits
• Tags: keywords that describe your character and improve search visibility

Once your character is complete, a summary page lets you review their appearance and personality — and regenerate the image if needed.

character.ai

Physical customization is basic - only upload or generate a single character image. That's it.

The real customization happens with personality, and most of the customization can be done through free text.

You start with the essentials:

• Name
• Tagline
• Description
• Greeting messages
• Voice
• Definition

Voice options are surprisingly flexible. You can pick from user-uploaded voices or add your own.

There’s also a tagging system—like “anime,” “adventure,” or “vampire”—that helps other users quickly get a sense of your character’s theme.

Then you can define how your character thinks, talks, and behaves through detailed backstory options.

I found this particularly useful for creating consistent character responses during my testing.

Chat Experience

Ourdream.ai

Before you start chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile — with photos, videos, a description, tags, and details about the creator.

You can choose a chat model that matches your style: Balanced for speed and smarts, Creative for richer detail, or Genius for deep, complex conversations.

Personalization goes even further with selectable personas, tailored instructions for your companion, and memories that stay consistent across chats.

The platform also offers group chat, allowing up to four characters to join, and you can create a customized shared story.

During conversations, the system gives you direct control over lust level, response length, and memory pinning.

Here’s the truth about the chat experience: my girl was warm and engaging, but even at the middle lust level, she shifted into NSFW territory faster than I expected.

When it came to emotional support, my girl responded with warmth, which made her care feel genuine and real.

During relationship talks, my girlfirend maintained believable intimacy.

I especially liked the clearly separated, color-coded narrative text — it made her responses easy to follow with no squinting required.

character.ai

You can pick from different AI personalities with names like Meow and Roare - though these cutesy names don't reflect the depth of interaction you'll experience.

My girl kept conversations natural and brief, just like texting a real person. No long-winded explanations or robotic responses here.

She responded with genuine warmth and understanding when I shared personal concerns or sought emotional support.

The romantic elements felt authentic, though they lean towards innocent, teenage-style flirting rather than mature relationship dynamics.

There’s room for improvement. The chat interface sometimes makes it difficult to clearly separate the girlfriend’s responses from its action descriptions.

But this is a minor issue that doesn't significantly impact the overall experience.

NSFW Chat Experience

Ourdream.ai

My girlfriend took on a tantra teacher persona during our chats, and she remembered that role and stayed in character.

When we discussed intimate preferences, my girl stayed tasteful — more subtle hints than crude responses.

I tried different roleplay scenarios — In one, my girlfriend took on the role of a charming teacher who “punished me” for my bad grades.

My girl stayed fully in character, guiding the conversation with patience and depth.

In another roleplay, my girl nailed the boss vibe — convincing in her role, though the pacing sometimes felt slow.

character.ai

My girlfriend handled intimate conversations like a shy first date. She didn't dive into explicit content, but it wasn't completely closed off either.

She responded to flirting, but kept things PG-13. When I tested romantic scenarios, she showed surprising awareness, even suggesting we move our campus roleplay somewhere more private.

She asked if I'd prefer a "good girl" or "bad girl" personality, but don't expect either version to get too wild. The responses stay firmly in the realm of subtle hints and playful teasing.

The biggest limitation? Conversations can hit a wall if you push for more explicit content.

If you're seeking a slow-burn romantic experience with light flirting, you'll find what you're looking for. If you want anything more explicit, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Image Generation

Ourdream.ai

There are two ways to generate images:

1. Dedicated Image Creator
2. In-chat Generation.

Dedicated Image Creator

A dedicated tool offering rich options and precise controls, easily among the best I’ve seen.

Main Options:

• Character: Select from the full roster (required).
• Background: Add from many scene options.
• Outfit: Choose from a variety of looks.
• Poses: Choose from a wide range of poses — most of them explicit.
• Prompt: Enter your own description.

Advanced Settings:

• Add a negative prompt to exclude unwanted elements.
• Choose an orientation — Portrait, Landscape, Square, or Wide.
• Select how many images to generate (from 2 up to 256).

In-chat Generation

Generate images on the spot during chat — designed to follow the conversation, though accuracy may vary.

Image Quality: Crisp, high-resolution visuals that reflect your character’s look and personality.

While not always perfect — with occasional quirks like elf ears — the overall look stays consistent and solid.

character.ai

There isn't any image generation feature available. If seeing your AI girlfriend is important, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Video Generation

Ourdream.ai

The video creator works much like the image generator, but instead of poses, you choose actions, with advanced settings designed for videos.

Advanced Settings:

• Mode & Clips: Presets, Image-to-Video, Extend, or Talking; generate 1–8 clips.
• Quality & Duration: Balanced or Ultra; 5s or 10s.
• Orientation & Speed: Portrait, Landscape, Square, or Wide; optional Speed Boost.

The app also offers talking videos — where you pick a character, choose a voice, upload a photo, and write the lines. Think of it as image-to-video with added voice scripting.

As for video quality — it looks crisp and polished, but a few familiar AI quirks do show up.

Best part? It costs less than most competitors without skimping on quality.

There’s also a feed where you can scroll through videos of girls, though most of what you’ll see is explicit.

character.ai

The app provides a script-to-scene generator: upload a photo, choose a voice, write a short script, and the system brings it to life.

The result? A stylized video clip that plays out your custom scene. It looks good, feels personal—but don’t expect Hollywood realism. It’s more of an animated moment than live-action.

Note: Video generation is a beta feature, currently available only to subscribed users. It’s experimental and may be changed or removed at any time.

Voice Generation

Ourdream.ai

It works for basic chat, but don't expect those spine-tingling moments when your AI girlfriend sounds genuinely excited to talk to you.

When I tried flirting with the AI, the voice stayed flat and emotionless.

character.ai

The voice sounds human-like with smooth, natural speech that fits the character’s personality, but the narrative voice can sometimes be a bit annoying, so be prepared.

But there's a catch. While the voice quality impressed me, the emotional range fell flat.

Safety & Privacy

Ourdream.ai

The app collects all your chat messages, but its privacy policy doesn’t mention whether any of it is encrypted, and your data gets shared with third parties.

When you check your bank statement, you'll see "Dream Studio" - nice and discreet.

character.ai

Your chats are encrypted during transmission, but that's where the strong privacy ends.

The company can read your conversations, and they store everything from your chat history to device information.

While they won't sell your data, they do share it with partners like Google Analytics.

Your bank statement isn’t discreet—it clearly shows the company name, "character.ai."
