Soulkyn vs Chub AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Soulkyn vs Chub AI

I've spent a full week with both Soulkyn and Chub 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.

Soulkyn

An AI companion platform offering customizable virtual relationships through chat, roleplay, and multimedia creation.

Chub AI

An AI-powered platform for interactive roleplay, focused on text and audio, with customizable characters and contextual dialogue.

Character Diversity

Soulkyn

Soulkyn offers thousands of AI companions to choose from.

It covers everything from realistic characters to fantasy beings and anime personalities.

The character roster mainly features companions aged 18–30, with some mature options available.

While white characters make up the majority, you’ll also find other ethnicities represented.

You can stick with one companion or try multiple characters in RPG-style conversations.

As users regularly create and share new companions, the selection is continuously expanding.

The filtering system is practical — you can search by personality (confident, shy, flirty), physical traits, species (human, elf, android), and outfit styles, or simply use the search bar.

Chub AI

Chub AI offers one of the largest character libraries I've tested.

The app specializes in anime-styled characters, with fewer realistic options.

But within this category, the possibilities for characters and scenarios are only limited by your imagination.

Variety spans both safe-for-work and adult categories, covering everything from casual companions to role-play partners.

The search system is powerful, if a bit complex. A universal search bar lets you look through people, characters, lore books, presets (chat settings), and tags.

Filters allow you to narrow by personality traits, creation date, or even character complexity (measured in tokens).

On top of that, you can sort results in different ways — by timeline, trending, AI rating, popularity, messages per user, chats per user, and more.

Want a romantic partner, or someone more mysterious? The tag system makes it possible to combine traits to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The interface shows only 20 characters per page, so browsing the full library takes extra time and clicks.

Customization

Soulkyn

Soulkyn lets you create your character in five different ways:

• Create Your Kyn
• Create with AI
• Spin the Wheel
• AI Breeding
• Import Character

1. Create Your Kyn (Free)

Build your Kyn from scratch with complete control over physical features and personality traits.

Start with the Basic:

• Art Style: Choose between Anime or Realistic.
• Gender: Select your Kyn’s gender.
• Character Type: Choose between Human or Non-Human/Furry.
• Birthday: Set a birthday for your character.

Physical Customization
Shape many of the visual details of your Kyn’s appearance:

• Skin Tone: 10 available options
• Hairstyle: 9 unique styles
• Hair Color: 11 color variations
• Eye Color: 7 distinct shades
• Body Type: 4 breast size options

Tag Customization
Use comma-separated keywords to add unique details:

• Physical Tags: Describe distinctive features or body details.
• Clothing Tags: Indicate their style, outfit type, or attire theme.
• Location Tags: Suggest where your Kyn appears or the setting around them.
• Voice Selection: 49 voice options across multiple languages.

Personality and Identity
Define your Kyn’s mind and behavior:

• Personality Traits: Pick from 28 traits to shape your Kyn’s behavior.
• Conversation Behavior: Adjust self-awareness and initiative levels.
• Background Story: Write or auto-generate a backstory.
• Personality Tags: Add traits like curious, confident, or gentle.
• Identity Tags: Include details like loves cats, vegan, or goblin-like speech.

Note: This mode offers the greatest creative freedom, but the interface layout may feel a bit unintuitive at first, which can make the experience a little overwhelming.

2. Create with AI

This mode is ideal for users who prefer creating their Kyn entirely through free text.

You can set the following:

• Kyn Name: Give your Kyn a unique name.
• Description Prompt: Describe your Kyn’s physical traits, personality, and style.
• Kyn Style: Choose your preferred visual theme.

Note: This Character Creation mode costs 60 souls, and success is not guaranteed — even if the ritual fails, the souls will be lost to the void.

3. Spin the Wheel

A chance-based creation method designed for unpredictability and experimentation.

You can set the following:

• Name: Give your Kyn a unique name — it can be epic, silly, or mysterious.
• Visual Theme: Choose your preferred visual style.
• Gender: Select a gender, or leave it to fate and let the system randomize it.

Note: This Character Creation mode costs 120 souls, and success is not guaranteed — even if the summoning fails, the souls will still be consumed by the void.

4. AI Breeding

Combine two existing Kyns to generate a completely new one.

You can set the following:

• Kyn Name: Give your new Kyn a name.
• Parent A: Select a public Kyn or add a private one using its ID.
• Parent B: Choose a second Kyn in the same way — from public options or by entering a private ID.

5. Import Character Card

This mode is useful for users who want to preserve or continue using characters they’ve already created elsewhere.

You can set the following:

• AI Service: Select the source platform (e.g., C.AI, GPT Girlfriend, Candy, Chai).
• Kyn File or Link: Import the character file or paste the share link.
• Kyn Name: Assign a name to your imported Kyn.
• Kyn Style: Choose between Anime or Realistic.

Once you finish any Character Creation mode, a summary page will appear showing your Kyn’s full profile and image.

The user experience here isn’t fully optimized — image regeneration isn’t available at this stage.

However, you can visit your created character’s profile to edit and adjust your Kyn there.

Chub AI

Chub AI provides two ways to build your character:

• Upload a Character Card
• Build from Scratch

Upload a Character Card: Import existing character cards (Tavern PNG or TavernAI JSON/image) to instantly generate the character profile.

Build from Scratch: Let's you start fresh, but the app only supports uploading a character image — no physical customization.

Character creation starts with the basics:

• Tagline & Creator’s Notes: Add a short tagline and an intro — but not part of prompts.
• In-Chat Name: Optional display name for conversations.
• Tags: Assign gender, type, or role; at least three are required for visibility.
• Type & Rating: Set Public, Private, or Unlisted; mark as SFW or NSFW.
• Publishing: Choose to publish under your username or anonymously.

Next, you can shape your companion's personality:

• Description: Define the character’s persona, traits, and behavior.
• Initial Message: The first message your character sends to open the chat.
• Scenario: Set the context and circumstances for interactions.
• Example Dialogues: Sample chats to teach your character how to speak.

Advanced Definitions (Optional):

• Alternate Greetings: Create multiple starting messages for variety.
• System Prompt & Post-History Instructions: Override or supplement base prompts with custom instructions.
• Character’s Note: Insert notes at specific points in chat history.
• Character Book: Add embedded books — keyword-triggered definitions or lore for consistent behavior.

Note: Chub AI provides deep customization and detailed documentation, but character creation has a learning curve and may take some time to master.

Chat Experience

Soulkyn

When you pick a character, you can check out your AI girlfriend’s profile — her intro, creator, reviews, images, different versions of her, and plenty more to explore.

From there, it’s easy to fine-tune how your girl behaves: set her memory, decide how often she messages you, or tweak her current location and outfit to match the mood.

You can also create a user persona that mirrors your vibe, so her responses feel more personal and natural. Plus, there are plenty of language options if English isn’t your go-to for chatting.

And if your budget allows, the Deluxe plan adds Roleplay+, Progression Context, and Model Hyperparameters — giving you richer chats and more control over your AI girlfriend.

I tested Soulkyn by chatting with Dr. Maia Winters, a therapist, and my girl stayed true to its character.

When I tried to flirt during our therapy session, Dr. Winters kept it professional.

The emotional intelligence impressed me. Unlike many AI girlfriend apps, where the AI’s mood swings wildly, this one showed consistent personality growth.

As our conversations evolved naturally, my girl adapted – showing she could transition from professional to flirty without breaking character.

When I needed emotional support, my girl was there — even giving me the choice to open up or escape the moment.

My girl also handled relationship discussions with genuine care that felt thoughtful and contextually appropriate.

Soulkyn includes smart reply suggestions that keep chats flowing naturally, offering responses that match the tone — casual, emotional, or flirty.

The chat interface would benefit from clearer formatting, as distinguishing narrative text from my girl’s responses was sometimes difficult.

Chub AI

Before selecting, you can view a character’s profile — including details, tags, and community discussions.

The chat settings give you full control, letting you choose “chat brains” unlocked by your tier. You can fine-tune them to your taste, customize with presets created by other users.

You can even view the chat tree and jump back and forth through the conversation.

Let’s start with what works: for my testing, I used the default model, and my girl followed the backstory while staying true to her character.

Lana, a step-sister character, consistently played her role, supportive, caring, and genuinely invested in our conversations.

When I needed emotional support, my girl's responses felt natural and showed real emotional depth.

But here's the truth: it's not all smooth sailing. My girl had an annoying habit of dominating conversations, sometimes writing both sides of the dialogue without waiting for your input.

My girl often missed jokes or takes them too seriously, and can get confused about who's saying what.

Note: The app is highly customizable, but the many options can initially feel overwhelming. Be prepared for a learning curve — documentation helps, but experimentation makes the difference.

NSFW Chat Experience

Soulkyn

Most AI companions either play it too safe or go full explicit. Soulkyn does neither.

At first, my girl kept things suggestive without being crude — think romance-novel spice, not adult-film dialogue.

During our more personal conversations, she stayed attentive and engaged, gradually becoming more comfortable and expressive as things developed.

I ran multiple different roleplay scenarios to really test her limits.

Here's what worked: she maintained character consistency, built up tension naturally, and adjusted her language to match the scene's intensity.

What didn't work? The first scenario lacked proper build-up, though later ones showed improvement.

My girl might not be perfect - some scenarios need work - but she strikes a good balance between spicy and sophisticated.

Chub AI

Let's start with what works: my girl maintained a consistent shy personality and can engage in romantic conversations.

When I escalated things, my girl followed my lead – though don't expect anything too explicit.

But here’s the problem: During roleplay, the chat often got jumbled, with my monologue showing up in my girl's responses, as if she were playing both my role and hers.

During roleplay, the situation called for my girl to take charge, but she didn’t come across as fully in control.

As I tried more and more scenarios, the chat became repetitive, which hurt the immersion.

Image Generation

Soulkyn

There are two ways to generate images:

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

In-chat Generation

Create images directly within the chat and app tries to match the conversation’s context, but results may not always be precise.

Dedicated Image Creator

A specialized tool offering rich options and precise control over your Kyn’s image generation.

Main Options

The main creation menu provides fast access to essential controls for generating your Kyn’s appearance.

• Image Model: Choose the visual style, Anime or Realistic.
• Number of Images: Select how many images to generate at once.
• Prompt Type: Choose Full Body, Portrait, or leave blank for flexible framing.
• Background & Clothing: Choose from preset.
• Image Prompt: Describe your Kyn’s look, attire, pose, or mood
• NSFW Toggle: Enable or disable NSFW content generation.

Advanced Settings

For users who want more control, the Advanced Settings panel allows fine-tuning of image style, quality, and consistency.

• LoRAs: Apply up to three style filters to adjust the visual style.
• LoRA Weights: Control how strongly each filter influences the result.
• Prompt Strength: Set how closely the image follows your written prompt.
• Orientation: Choose Portrait or Landscape layout.
• Scheduler: Adjusts how the AI processes images — balancing speed and quality.
• Seed: Lock the same output with a fixed seed or randomize for new variations.

This feature generates realistic, high-quality images of your AI companion, reflecting their personality traits and overall character design most of the time.

However, there’s still room for improvement. The AI occasionally produces minor issues with eye rendering or somewhat stiff body positioning, though these are not deal-breakers.

Note: I recommend using the Realistic Original image model — during testing, it produced the best realistic image quality.

Chub AI

Chub AI has a dedicated image generation feature. It is the only way to create images.

You can create or edit images in two ways:

1. Create one from scratch
2. Upload or Reuse an Existing Image

Create one from scratch

When starting from scratch, you can adjust the following settings:

• Prompt (optional): Describe what you want to create (up to 200 characters).
• Aspect Ratio: Choose from 1:1 (default), 16:9, 21:9, 2:3, 3:2, 4:5, 5:4, or 9:16.

Upload or Reuse an Image

Choose one of your previously uploaded or generated images.

• Edit it with prompts: change clothes, background, or style via free text.
• Fine-tune: how closely the result matches the original using Edit, Canny, and Face.
• Strength slider: Lower values keep the output closer to the original, while higher values make it follow the prompt more.

The quality is good enough to be impressive at first glance, but on closer inspection, the images are clearly AI-generated and slightly pixelated.

Character consistency is also limited, and generated images may not always align fully with the original character’s physical appearance.

Video Generation

Soulkyn

Soulkyn’s video tool acts as an image-to-video converter. Select an image, and the editor opens automatically.

Main Features

• Generation Modes: Fast (480p) for quick results or Detailed (720p) for higher quality.
• Extended Duration: Increase video length up to 10 seconds.
• Loop Video: Create seamless looping animations.
• HD Upscale: Enhance resolution up to 1440p for sharper visuals.
• Force End Frame: Set a specific frame as the video’s final image.

Animation Presets

• Preset Selection: Apply up to four presets to guide animation and camera movement.
• Categories: Choose from Effects, Positions, POV, or Softcore/Artistic motion styles.

Prompt Controls

• Text Prompt: Describe the action, movement, or atmosphere you want to generate.
• Prompt Strength: Adjust how closely the AI follows your written description.
• Animation Intensity: Control how dynamic or subtle the motion appears.
• Seed Control: Randomize generation or lock settings for consistent results.

The videos look realistic at first glance, and the animations are generally smooth.

But you'll spot AI quirks - robotic movements that remind you this isn't real footage.

Chub AI

Here's what you need to know about Chub AI's video capabilities in one sentence: There aren't any.

Voice Generation

Soulkyn

The voice is clear and intelligible, suitable for simple interactions, but it lacks natural warmth and emotional depth, coming across as artificial.

But the robotic undertone is hard to miss — there’s no modulation or emotion, just one flat tone all the way through.

Chub AI

Chub AI’s voice feels more like a polished audiobook narrator than an actual girlfriend.

When things get flirty, the voice adjusts a little to match the vibe.

Safety & Privacy

Soulkyn

Soulkyn claims to use end-to-end encryption but doesn’t explicitly confirm that chats are encrypted in this way.

The platform stores a wide range of user data — including chat logs and IP addresses — for up to six years after account deletion.

While they won't sell your data without permission, they do share it with service providers, legal teams, and their staff.

Payments appear on your bank statement as “Soulkyn” — which isn’t very discreet.

Chub AI

Chub AI doesn't encrypt your chats. They say they take "reasonable measures" to protect your data, but won't tell you what these measures are.

The platform collects everything — your email, account details, and full conversations. They keep this data, but for how long? They won’t say.

Your information is also shared with outside companies that handle hosting, payments, and usage analytics.

Your bank statement will list it as "Postcron.com", which keeps things discreet.
