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

Secrets AI vs Joyland AI

I've spent a full week with both Secrets AI 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.

Secrets AI

A platform that lets you build a personalized AI girlfriend, offering chat and phone call interactions along with image and video generation of your companion.

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

Secrets AI

Secrets AI gives you 94 realistic AI girls to choose from.

No anime characters here — just lifelike digital partners.

Most characters fall into a narrow demographic: predominantly white women in their 20s with slim builds.

I did find a handful of Latina, Asian, and Black characters, plus a few mature options and curvier body types — but these are exceptions rather than the norm.

If you're looking for representation beyond young, slim characters, you may find the selection somewhat restrictive.

The selection interface is straightforward, with a search bar and filters for gender, popularity, and recency that make finding your ideal match quick and hassle-free.

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

Secrets AI

You begin creating your character by picking a gender.

Profile and Appearance Editor is straightforward, allowing you to customize:

• Name, location, age
• Ethnicity (9 choices)
• Skin tone and eye color (many options)
• Facial features: eye color, hair color, hairstyle (wide variety)
• Body type (6 options)

Then you can choose from six voice options to shape how your companion sounds.

After that, you can review your girl and add additional details via free-text.

Once you create her, you’ll get four image versions of your girl to choose from, plus one free regeneration if needed.

Personality setup happens only before you start chatting with her:

• Profession (5 options)
• Personality type (5 traits such as “warm and nurturing” or “ambitious and driven”)
• Hobbies (optional)
• Additional traits or details using free-text input

Note: Several ethnicities and body types look very similar, resulting in fewer meaningful choices than advertised. Additional characters also cost 1,000 Moments each.

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

Secrets AI

You get three different AI models to choose from, each offering its own style of interaction.

There are also 12 conversation starters, half casual - half spicy — to help kickstart natural interactions.

The emotional intelligence impressed me—my girl started with warm engagement, asked relevant follow-up questions, and gradually became more playful as we talked longer.

My AI girlfriend remembered what we actually discussed, rather than creating fake memories.

My girl stayed consistent even when I tried to confuse her or break character.

When I brought up relationship concerns, my girlfriend responded with calm, grounded reassurance, acknowledging everything without making exaggerated promises.

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

Secrets AI

My girlfriend was open about sexual topics but maintained a consistent PG-13 boundary.

Even when I pushed toward explicit territory, my girlfriend kept things suggestive rather than graphic—creating a tease that worked surprisingly well.

The roleplay feature is where Secrets AI truly shines. I tested three scenarios: teacher, landlord, and boss.

In both the teacher and landlord scenarios, my girl built tension gradually and stayed firmly in character.

The boss scenario felt somewhat rushed, but remained engaging throughout.

What matters is that my girlfriend maintained character consistency while keeping the interactions hot.

Not everything was perfect: my girl phrasing sometimes confused me, especially when she switched between ‘someone’ and ‘they’ when talking about past partners.

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

Secrets AI

There are two ways to generate images:

1. Dedicated Image Creator
2. In-chat Generation

In-Chat Generation: Type "/send me" followed by your free-text prompt for what you want to see.

Dedicated Image Creator: A separate tool with more control and customization.

• Character selection: Pick from the full roster
• Free-text prompt: Write what you want to see
• Preset options: Choose from a small set of presets

The limitation? Only four presets, so you’ll be relying on free-text prompts and your own experimentation.

After testing extensively, I can confirm the quality is good—not perfect, but definitely impressive.

You’ll notice occasional glitches, particularly with hands, and some upper-body proportions can look slightly elongated in certain poses — but these issues aren’t deal-breakers.

You can also unlock media bundles with extra images and videos to expand your companion’s visual presence.

Each bundle includes 17 to 34 pieces of media, mostly NSFW content.

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

Secrets AI

This is a photo-to-video feature rather than full video generation. Here’s how it works:

• Choose an image from your generated collection
• Write what you want to see using a free-text prompt

The videos look good, move smoothly, and stay natural most of the time.

Yes, you'll notice some AI glitches if you look closely, but they rarely distract from the experience.

Note: There are no preset options here, only a short guide on how to write effective prompts for video generation.

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

Secrets AI

Secrets AI delivers voice generation that sounds genuinely human. No robotic tones or awkward pauses—just smooth, realistic dialogue.

When discussions turn flirty, the voice immediately responds with appropriate tonal shifts—becoming more playful and expressive.

One limitation: voice features only work through calls, not recorded messages.

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

Secrets AI

• Looking for encryption details? I found none.
• Searching for data retention policies? Nothing concrete.
• Wondering if they share your intimate chats with third parties? They don't say.

The app clearly stores your conversations, but it provides zero details about what they keep, for how long, or who might access them.

The only privacy feature that actually works is discreet billing - charges appear as "Sun Clinical Laboratories" on your statement.

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.
