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

PolyBuzz vs Joyland AI

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

PolyBuzz

AI chatbot platform for personalized conversations and role-play, featuring unrestricted chats, customizable traits, AI image generation, and dynamic storylines.

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.

Character Diversity

PolyBuzz

PolyBuzz AI offers a massive, diverse character selection.

From anime companions to life coaches, the app covers a wide range of character types you might want to interact with.

Their "Popular Series" feature lets you chat with AI versions of characters from Oscar-winning films, anime shows, and even girl groups.

For those seeking specific interactions, the app offers specialized options like AI Girlfriend, Virtual Assistant, or 'Ask AI' for custom queries.

Finding your ideal companion is simple: use filters for gender, genre (anime, sci-fi, fantasy), or search by specific keywords.

The search results show in a single column — making it easy to find your character, but not ideal for quick browsing.

The app doesn’t save search filters when leaving Character Discovery, forcing you to reapply them each time, which can be frustrating.

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.

Customization

PolyBuzz

To create your own AI girl, PolyBuzz gives you two options:

• Build from scratch
• Import an existing character via a character card

1. Build from scratch

Create anime-style avatars using the app’s image generation feature, or upload your own—physical customization isn’t available.

Flexible personality builder customization, but all details must be typed manually—no presets.

• Name & Gender
• Intro & First Greeting: a brief description and the opening message of your character
• Backstory: a detailed backstory for your character
• Dialogue Style
• Tags: add keywords to help others find your character

And finally choose from 51 female voices, and set who can see your character.

2. Import an existing character via a character card

Already using Character AI or Tavern? PolyBuzz lets you import your existing character cards. Just upload the file, and you’re ready to go.

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.

Chat Experience

PolyBuzz

PolyBuzz lets you customize how your AI girlfriend talks and behaves—the language model you choose shapes the dialogue style— for my testing, I used the standard model.

You can also adjust user persona settings to make your girl's responses more relevant.

During my tests, my girl maintained consistent personality traits and could handle everything from casual jokes to emotional conversations.

While testing deeper conversations, I noticed my girlfriend's genuine-feeling support and attention to detail.

It’s not perfect—some replies can be a bit predictable, like the classic tropical escape—but it’s still more engaging than most AI companions.

The app offers engaging features like reply suggestions and Heart Whisper (your character’s thoughts), but only for an additional cost on top of the premium subscription.

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.

NSFW Chat Experience

PolyBuzz

Here's what actually works: My girlfriend didn't rush into explicit content. Instead, she built natural tension through conversation.

When I asked for a personal story, my girl playfully flipped the question back to me—just like a teasing girlfriend would, staying true to her character.

No generic responses, no awkward pivots - just smooth, contextual exchanges that felt surprisingly real.

The role-play feature worked as advertised. I tested multiple scenarios, from mild flirting to more intimate situations.

My girl stayed in character throughout each session and adapted to my inputs without breaking immersion.

While not perfect—my girl sometimes got my gender wrong—she handled adult conversations more naturally than most competitors I’ve tested.

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.

Image Generation

PolyBuzz

PolyBuzz’s image generation gives you two ways to create:

• Normal Mode – solo character art.
• Ship Them Mode – pairing two characters in one scene.

Normal Mode: Create a single character image using built-in presets or an uploaded reference.

Start with your basic settings:

• Prompt: Type a text prompt to describe your character
• Aspect ratios: Choose from 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9
• Detail controls: Adjust stylization and complexity sliders

Once your base is set, refine your character visually using presets:

• Subjects & styles: Built-in or uploaded characters; styles like Gorgeous, Urban, Fantasy, Cyberpunk, etc.
• Customization: Change age, skin tone, expressions (smile, crying, shy, laughing), gestures (victory, heart, salute).
• Poses & accessories: Standing, sitting, kneeling; add chokers, earrings, rings, wings, tails.
• Visuals: Adjust composition and lighting (close-up, low-angle, backlighting).

Result:

Ship them: This mode works the same way but creates two characters in one image, which is great for couples, friends, or interactive scenes.

Start with your dual prompts and settings:

• Prompts: Separate fields for Character A, Character B, and an integration prompt to describe how they interact
• Settings: Identical to Normal Mode

Refine settings with presets:

• Characters: Choose from built-in characters or upload your own, then customize age, expressions (smile, crying, shy, angry), skin tone, and accessories.
• Integration: Fine-tune the overall scene with style options, poses, lighting, and other visual elements.

Result:

The images look great and are mostly accurate, but it’s essentially a general image generator—you need to re-upload specific characters each time.

Note: Only anime-style art is supported, and any nudity—even mild, like extra cleavage, violates community standards.

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.

Video Generation

PolyBuzz

If seeing your AI girlfriend in video form is important, you must look elsewhere.

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.

Voice Generation

PolyBuzz

The voices sound natural, match character personalities, and adapt during conversations.

As the conversation progressed, my AI girl's voice could shift with the context and grow more flirty depending on the dialogue flow.

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.

Safety & Privacy

PolyBuzz

PolyBuzz gets this right with end-to-end encryption on all conversations. No one - not even PolyBuzz staff - can access your chat content.

Your messages aren’t stored on their servers, but PolyBuzz isn’t super clear about what else they collect. The Google Play Store even notes that some of your data might be shared.

When you check your bank statement, you'll see "Singularity Mutual Ent" - nothing that screams "AI companion."

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.
