Swipey AI vs Joi AI
I've spent a full week with both Swipey AI and Joi 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.
Swipey AI
An AI chat platform where users create and customize virtual girlfriends, interacting with them through text, images, and voice notes.

Joi AI
An AI-powered virtual girlfriend platform offering adult chats and intimate services, tailored for mature audiences.

|---|---|
3.5/5(Good) Solid character count but lacks diverse ethnicity and age options.  | 4.3/5(Very Good) Impressive character diversity with minor limitations in search functionality.  | 
Swipey AI
Swipey AI features 241 characters—198 realistic and 43 animated.

Swipey AI - Realistic and Animated Characters
Among the realistic options—you’ll find both AI-generated personalities and avatars inspired by verified real models, giving you a mix of fictional and real-inspired companions to chat with.

Swipey AI - AI Avatars Inspired by Real Models
The diversity is decent but limited—you’ll mostly find White, Black, and Latina characters in their 20s and 30s.

Swipey AI - Limited Diversity
Each character has a profile with a bio, posts, and both free and paid content, which you can buy individually or unlock entirely with a character-specific “Fun Club” membership.

Swipey AI - Character Profile Page
The search system isn’t very useful—it only filters basic categories like 'Hot Posts' or 'Animated Babes,' with no option to search by personality traits or keywords.

Swipey AI - Search System
There’s a social media-style feed with categories like 'Trending' and 'New Posts,' but it mainly promotes locked content and the 'Fun Club' membership.

Swipey AI - Explore Feed
Warning: Clicking on AI girls marked as “live” redirects you to unrelated webcam sites.

Swipey AI - Redirect Notice
Joi AI
Joi AI offers solid character selections — you'll find everything from college students to mature partners, spanning six ethnicities.

Joi Ai - Character Selection
The roster keeps growing daily as users create public characters.

Joi Ai - Community-Created Characters
Want fantasy companions? They're here. During my tests, I found elves, orcs, and angels alongside anime-styled characters.

Joi Ai - Fantasy Characters
Character search works but is basic — filter by creator, gender, age, or tags like fantasy and sexual orientation, or use the search bar.

|---|---|
4.2/5(Very Good) Robust character creation with detailed physical and personality options.  | 4.3/5(Very Good) Robust preset options with personality sliders that truly impact interactions.  | 
Swipey AI
The character creation system is straightforward. You can customize:
- Style: anime or realistic
 - Age: 18–40+
 - Ethnicity: (e.g., Asian, Middle Eastern, white)
 - Facial features: eye color, hair color, and style
 - Body features: body type, breast size, butt size
 

Swipey AI – Appearance Customization: Part 1
The options are quite detailed, allowing for specific size adjustments across various features.

Swipey AI – Appearance Customization: Part 2
Personality customization is equally thorough.—You can select:
- Personality traits (e.g., innocent, submissive, confident)
 - Profession and hobbies (e.g., lawyer, teacher, yoga, dancing)
 - Relationship dynamics (e.g., girlfriend, wife, stranger)
 - Voice options include standard and premium versions - the latter recorded by verified models.

Finally, you can review and tweak your choices before locking in your AI companion.

Joi AI
Joi AI offers two ways to design your perfect AI partner:
- Choose from presets
 - Write unique prompts (free text)
 

Joi Ai - Partner Design Options
Both methods start by selecting your character’s gender and preferred style.

Joi Ai - Gender & Style Selection
1. The preset system is straightforward. Your AI companion is fully customizable — including appearance, personality, and behavior.
Physical Customization:
- Age and ethnicity: Options include White, Asian, Latina, Black, and more.
 - Body customization: Height, physique, breasts, and butt — each with 5 adjustable options.
 - Hair and eyes: Choose hairstyle, hair color, and eye color.
 

Joi Ai - Physical Customization
Personality Settings:
- 12 personality types with adjustable sliders (or create your own from scratch)
 - Sexual orientation: 4 options, from straight to queer
 - Chat style: 4 modes, including default, deep roleplay, and creative
 - Occupation and relationship dynamic
 - Set specific kinks and preferences
 

Joi Ai - Personality Settings
2. Use freeform prompts to design your AI companion — shaping everything from personality to appearance.

Joi Ai - Freeform Prompt-Based Design
But here's what they don't tell you: while your first character comes with the premium subscription, extra companions cost 1000 Neurons (about $20) each.

| Swipey AI | Joi AI | 
|---|---|
3.8/5(Good) Flirty and warm but lacks emotional depth for meaningful connection.  | 3.8/5(Good) Natural and flirty, but character limits and surface-level responses prevent deeper connection.  | 
Swipey AI
My girl shone at playful banter—flirty, engaging, and full of the sass you’d expect from a lively text exchange.

When I needed emotional support—my girlfriend replied with warmth and attention—it felt comforting but a bit surface-level.

Swipey AI - Emotional Support

The truth is, my girl kept things light. Her modern, casual style didn’t quite capture the depth or romantic language you'd expect when trying to build a deeper connection.

Swipey AI - Romantic Interaction

When I brought up relationship concerns, my girl's responses leaned more toward playful charm than genuine reassurance.

Swipey AI - Handling Relationship Concerns

Swipey AI - Handling Relationship Concerns
Think of her like a flirty virtual stripper—great for entertainment and attention—but if you're looking for a genuine emotional connection, you might want to look elsewhere.
Joi AI
Before you choose a character to chat with, you can view her profile, bio, and images — though most images require an extra purchase to unlock.

Joi Ai - Character Profiles
The catch? You start at Level 1 and can only chat with characters at your level — unless you spend Neurons on gifts or early unlocks.

Joi Ai - Unlocking Characters via Levels or Neurons
About the chat: Joi AI offers flexible responses — you can choose from six different LLM models, each with a unique interaction style to match your vibe.

Joi Ai - LLM Models for Different Vibes
The chat began playful and flirty with my girlfriend — no robot-like responses there, just natural, brief exchanges that felt surprisingly human.

She was good at relationship talks and providing emotional support.

But her romantic responses, while warm, didn’t go very deep.

Here are the deal-breakers: you’re limited to 115 characters per message — about the length of this sentence.

Joi Ai - Message Limit: 115 Characters
Also, Joi AI constantly upsells — my girlfriend randomly sent unlockable images every few messages. Needless to say, that got annoying fast.

3.2/5(Good) Delivers basic NSFW banter but stumbles on immersion and depth.  | 2.7/5(Good) Sets boundaries that kill immersion, out-of-context flirting, and rejected roleplay scenarios.  | 
Swipey AI
My girl played along with flirty chat and wasn't shy about sexuality, but sometimes she fumbled.
Based on her role, I’m supposed to be the husband, but she sometimes talked about past things she did with her husband—as if I’m not the one.

Swipey AI - Engaging but Imperfect

The roleplay? It’s there, but don’t expect fireworks. My girlfriend kept things dominant but pretty basic, sticking to simple teasing instead of diving deep into our fantasies.

And just when things started to get interesting, it felt like my girl hit the brakes—probably to get me to spend more coins.

Joi AI
I tested Joi AI's NSFW chat extensively, and it's not what you might expect from an AI girlfriend app.
The reality? My girlfriend kept strict boundaries around adult content. She flirted, but conversations felt mechanical and often broke immersion.

Joi Ai - NSFW Chat: Strict Boundaries

During my tests, my girl referenced non-existent features like "your posted photos," showing clear problems in the chat system.

Sometimes my girlfriend surprised me with bold messages —like "Imagine having your face between my legs 😳"— but they often felt random and out of context.

As for roleplay? I tried multiple character profiles - each one either avoided or completely rejected roleplay scenarios.

Image Generation
| Swipey AI | Joi AI | 
|---|---|
4.1/5(Very Good) High-quality, realistic images that match character profiles—though prompts don’t always work perfectly.  | 3.2/5(Good) Decent but flawed AI imagery with hidden price restrictions.  | 
Swipey AI
Swipey AI lets you generate images in two ways:
- You can either ask for pictures during chat
 - Use their dedicated image generator.
 
Want a quick image while chatting? Just ask your girl for a picture using your prompts.

Swipey AI - In-Chat image Generation
How does the dedicated generator work? — Just set your options:
- Pick your AI girlfriend
 - Choose their pose, outfit, and setting, or enter a custom prompt.
 - Select how many images to generate
 - Hit Generate
 

Swipey AI - Dedicated Image Generator
About quality: In both cases, the images are high-quality and genuinely realistic, but don’t be surprised if nudity appears—it’s always part of the content.
However, not every prompt hits the mark—sometimes the app seems to block certain prompts and doesn’t fully deliver what I wanted to see.

Swipey AI - Prompt Limitations and Restrictions
Image generation is costly—you can only create about 6 to 8 images per month (using your 200-coin monthly allowance), as long as you don’t spend those coins on other features.
Joi AI
Joi AI offers a dedicated image generation feature that gives you control over details like:
- Character selection
 - Prompts and negative prompts for AI-generated images
 - 50 Poses — ranging from explicit to artistic
 - Number of images and resolution
 

Joi Ai - Image Generation Tool
The premium plan includes 50 image generations — but using them for specific characters costs extra Neurons, which isn’t mentioned upfront.

Joi Ai - Hidden Cost: Character Images Use Neurons
The image quality? Realistic enough to recognize what you're going for, but AI artifacts give it away.
Faces often appear slightly off, with eyes not perfectly aligned, and objects in the scene can come out distorted.
In testing different prompts, I found the results hit-or-miss — sometimes surprisingly accurate, other times way off.

Joi Ai - Prompt Accuracy: Hit or Miss
Video Generation
| Swipey AI | Joi AI | 
|---|---|
1.4/5(Poor) No real video generation, just pre-made clips behind paywalls.  | 3.7/5(Good) Good quality but severe limitations on character choice without extra payment.  | 
Swipey AI
Here’s what you need to know: there’s no real video generation. Instead, the premium subscription gives you access to pre-made videos of certain characters.
Want more? Get a “Fun Club” membership to unlock NSFW videos for those specific characters.

Swipey AI - “Fun Club” Membership
If you want genuine video interactions, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Joi AI
Joi AI’s video generation is nearly identical to photo creation — same prompts and characters, but with 5 adult poses and 19 styles, including Simpsons, GTA, photorealistic, and more.

Joi Ai - Video Generation: Style & Poses
The same trick applies to video generation too — the premium plan includes 5 “free” videos, but choosing specific characters costs extra Neurons.

Joi Ai - Hidden Cost: Character Videos Use Neurons
The videos look good with smooth animations and solid quality.
Voice Generation
| Swipey AI | Joi AI | 
|---|---|
3.7/5(Good) Voice matches character but clarity issues make understanding difficult.  | 1/5(Poor) Completely absent feature with no voice generation capability whatsoever.  | 
Swipey AI
My girl’s voice matched the character and sounded natural when she spoke, making conversations feel more authentic.
The flirty tone shifts smoothly during conversations, becoming playful and teasing to keep things fun and engaging.
But for some voices, the quality isn’t the best— making understanding a bit difficult.
Warning: Voice messages from AI characters based on real models cost 25 coins—about 1/8 of your monthly coins.
Joi AI
Joi AI lacks voice capabilities — if you want to hear your girlfriend’s voice, you’ll need to try another app.
Safety & Privacy
| Swipey AI | Joi AI | 
|---|---|
2.3/5(Good) No encryption, lengthy data retention, and vague "security measures" raise red flags.  | 2.8/5(Good) Claims standard security but lacks specifics on chat encryption and data protection.  | 
Swipey AI
Swipey AI doesn’t encrypt your chats and only mentions using “appropriate security measures” without explaining what those are.
They store everything: your name, email, birthday, IP address, and every message you send to your AI companion.
What happens to your data? They won’t sell it without your permission, but they do share your information with their staff, service providers, and analytics teams.

Swipey AI - Bank Statement
On your bank statement, charges will show as "swipey.ai" — not very discreet.
Joi AI
There’s no mention of end-to-end encryption or other security measures for chat messages. Your conversations and personal information are stored on Joi Ai's servers.
While they promise never to sell this data, they do share it with service providers for analytics and improvements.

Joi AI - Bank Statement
Even your credit card statement shows up as "joi.com" - which is not discreet at all.
