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

Spicychat AI vs Joyland AI

I've spent a full week with both Spicychat 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.

Spicychat AI

SpicyChat is a chatbot platform that allows users to engage in personalized role-playing through AI characters for adult conversations.

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

Spicychat AI

Looking for an AI girlfriend? Spicychat AI offers over 300,000 characters - more than most competitors i've tested.

The selection is diverse but straightforward. You'll find anime characters (which make up most of the roster), realistic companions, and fantasy characters.

The app doesn't limit you to single characters either - you can interact with multiple characters in one scenario.

For users interested in mature content, Spicychat, as the name suggests — offers a robust NSFW section.

The character pool will expand as more public characters are added, though some users may still find the anime-heavy selection limiting.

Finding your preferred character is simple. Instead of complex personality metrics, Spicychat uses clear categories like romantic, sci-fi, dominant, or wholesome, and more.

The search bar works well, and you can sort characters by trending, top-rated, or newest first.

During my testing, these options made navigating the large character pool manageable.

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

Spicychat AI

You can't design your girlfriend's physical appearance through traditional customization options. Instead, you get two choices:

1. Upload a photo
2. Describe how they should look through text.

That's it. No sliders, no presets, no detailed tweaking.

Personal customization is where the focus is. You’ll write free-text descriptions and set options for:

• Identity: Name and title that define your character.
• First Impression: Greeting message that starts the conversation.
• Personality: Traits, background, and role description.
• Visibility: Choose whether your chatbot is public, unlisted, or private.
• Definition Visibility: Decide if personality details are shown or kept hidden.

There's also a tagging system to categorize your character, helping others understand what they're about.

Advanced Options let you go further by shaping how your companion behaves:

• Scenario: Define the current situation and context
• Example Dialogues: Add sample dialogues to set the tone and guide personality.

Note: The app offers guidance, but building a good character can feel overwhelming for users who are used to preset options in AI girlfriend editors — it takes time and practice.

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

Spicychat AI

The app gives you control over how your girl responds, letting you fine-tune conversations to your liking.

With the "True Supporter" tier, you can choose from 21 different LLM models to customize how your girlfriend responds.”

You can set your character’s voice from 33 female options, with spoken messages in Japanese, Russian, or German.

As for the chat experience: I chose the girlfriend character, and she went beyond generic replies — adding vivid detail and heartfelt lines that built a romantic atmosphere.

When I needed emotional support, my girlfriend combined genuine empathy with playful affection — even suggesting a romantic trip to help me unwind.

As I brought up a relationship concern, my girl showed impressive context retention — it didn’t feel generic and actually fit the moment.

The clear separation between narrative text and my girlfriend's responses makes conversations easier to follow.

The app’s chat also offers a suggested responses feature that helps keep conversations moving, letting you just go with the flow.

Note: The UX isn’t Spicychat AI’s strongest point. It offers plenty of options to personalize chat if you dive into the settings, but some features don’t seem clickable at first or feel a bit hidden.

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

Spicychat AI

My girl struck a sweet balance between flirty and tasteful — playful buildup, natural dialogue, and no crude or awkward lines.

When I tested the flirting features, my girlfriend took the lead — even suggesting playful scenarios like strip poker with her own creative twists.

The roleplay feature exceeded expectations in most areas.

Whether playing a strict teacher, demanding boss, or stern landlord, my girlfriend stayed convincingly in character and guided scenarios naturally.

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

Spicychat AI

You can only generate images inside the chat. The app tries to create pictures based on your conversation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

After generation, you can edit the image prompt — but stick close to the original style. If you don’t, you’ll end up with odd results.

You’ll also unlock the settings menu, where you can tweak options such as:

• Style: Switch between semi-realistic and anime.
• NSFW Mode: Toggle safe vs. explicit images.
• LoRA Scale (Advanced): Adjust how strongly the character model influences the picture.
• Prompt Suffix: Add extra details (e.g., dramatic lighting, cinematic background).
• Negative Prompt: Filter out flaws (e.g., blurry faces, extra limbs, low resolution).

Tweak carefully — push these too far, and you’ll get some weird results.

As for quality — the images are clearly AI-generated — low in resolution, and sometimes flawed.

And here’s something important: the SFW–NSFW toggle doesn’t just affect content. It completely changes how your girl looks in pictures.

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

Spicychat AI

The app doesn't generate videos of your AI girl - period. You'll need to look at different options.

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

Spicychat AI

During testing, the voice came across as fairly good overall, clear and consistent — but still carried a slightly mechanical feel.

Even when things turned flirty, the delivery shifted to match the mood, but it still felt generic.

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

Spicychat AI

SpicyChat won't tell you exactly how they protect these conversations. Just a vague promise of "commercially acceptable" protection.

They don't sell your data to advertisers. But they also don't tell you how long they keep your information or what happens to it when you delete your account.

You’ll see “NextDay AI Incorporated” on your bank statement — at least it’s discreet.

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.
