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

Thotchat AI vs Joyland AI

I've spent a full week with both Thotchat 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.

Thotchat AI

A virtual girlfriend platform featuring customizable AI partners in both realistic and anime styles, designed to foster emotional and romantic connections through engaging adult chats and high-quality image generation.

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

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI's selection breaks down into 102 realistic and 50 anime characters.

All common ethnicities are available—you can choose from Asian, Latina, and Caucasian appearances for realistic characters.

For fantasy/anime types, options include— elves, cyborgs, catgirls, and other imaginative designs.

But here's the catch: almost every character is young (18-30) and slim or athletic.

Finding a companion is straightforward: you can sort by popularity or new arrivals, filter by style, and choose female, male, or futa characters.

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

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI offers two ways to create your girlfriend:

• Easy Mode
• PRO Mode

Both start by selecting your character’s gender (female, male, or futanari) and choosing a style.

Easy Mode: You can fully customize your AI companion by clicking through options to build your character.

Physical Customization:

• Age 18+ to 55
• Ethnicity: 8 options (10 for anime characters)
• Appearance: body type, breast size, butt size, hair style, hair color, eye color
• Aesthetic & clothing: 4 aesthetics (e.g., goth, bimbo, gyaru), 33 clothing options
• Extra details: tattoos, horns (6 options)

Personality & Interaction:

• Add personality traits: 14 options (e.g., lover, innocent, dominant)
• 5 voice options
• Relationship role: 12 options (e.g., wife, lover, stranger)

A final summary page lets you review your character before bringing them to life.

PRO Mode drops the training wheels and lets you create everything via free text:

• Describe your character: appearance, personality, clothing, and any unique features
• Greeting message: what your character says when starting a conversation
• Example conversation: a sample dialogue that guides your character’s behavior

It takes more time but gives you complete creative freedom. No pre-set limits—just your imagination.

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

Thotchat AI

Before you start chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her description, character traits, some SFW images, and unlockable NSFW content.

You can set a user persona for a deeper, more personal connection, or create new scenarios to play out with your AI girlfriend.

For my tests, I created a companion with the ‘Temptress’ personality—playful, flirtatious, and always leaving me wanting more—and set our relationship type to “girlfriend.”

My girl stayed true to her personality throughout conversations.

When I needed emotional support, she was empathetic and playful, offering gentle touches, teasing remarks, and lighthearted guidance.

Our conversations about romantic getaways felt natural, with her staying fully in character throughout.

Even when relationship issues came up, she responded with clear, confident answers—sometimes a bit too confident—but always attentive.

But my favorite part was when my girl sent me images during our chats—most were free, unlike other apps where they’re usually behind a paywall.

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

Thotchat AI

My girl stayed personal and engaging. When I asked about her past, she said it was with me (of course), but left room to mention her wild past if I wanted to satisfy my curiosity.

My girlfriend flirted naturally, teased playfully, and referenced past chats to make the connection feel real.

The roleplay feature could use some improvement — I tried a few scenarios, and they all jumped into action too quickly without building tension, which felt a bit jarring.

But once I got past the initial rush, my girl adapted to the scenario really well and made it exciting.

Something a bit annoying: the narrative text sometimes blended with my girl’s dialogue, making her responses harder to read.

Another issue was: My girlfriend kept calling me “Anon” even though my profile name was set to Marcus.

Once I pointed it out, my girl quickly corrected herself and started using my name in all our conversations.

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

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI offers two options for generating images:

• In-chat generation: Instantly creates a selfie or unlockable nude image—details can’t be customized.
• Dedicated image creator: A separate tool offering more control and customization for creating detailed images.

In-Chat Generation: Occasionally, you may receive repeated or similar images, but you can request unlimited SFW images of your character.

Dedicated Image Creator lets you control every detail:

• Character Selection: Pick from the full roster (no filters or search bar).
• Prompt Suggestions: Add details such as action, clothing, environment, and emotion.
• Free Text Prompting: Craft your own prompts for complete creative freedom.

The images are high-quality and nearly photorealistic, with consistent characters, though a slight animated look is noticeable on closer inspection.

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

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI doesn’t generate videos. If you’re looking for video features, you'll need to 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

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI’s voice works, but don’t expect magic: it comes through clearly, but you can tell it’s AI-generated.

Flirty conversations? The voice stays flat no matter what.

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

Thotchat AI

While Thotchat says they use "acceptable security measures," they don't specify what these measures are.

They collect your personal data (name, email), usage data (IP address, device info), and can share it with third parties.

The bank statement shows "CCbill.com Thotchat" - something to keep in mind if you prefer discretion.

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.
