Yodayo vs Sakura AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Yodayo vs Sakura AI

I've spent a full week with both Yodayo and Sakura 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.

Yodayo

An AI-powered platform that converts text prompts into anime-style artwork, offering character customization, community sharing features, and interactive character chat capabilities for anime enthusiasts.

Sakura AI

A character-based AI interaction platform where you can chat intimately with custom AI personalities and explore a growing community of unique characters.

Character Diversity

Yodayo

Yodayo offers thousands of characters to choose from.

Most are anime-style or fantasy-based, with a smaller selection of realistic characters available.

I found everything from traditional anime personalities to fantasy creatures like orcs and cyborgs.

The search system is practical. You can filter characters:

• Filter by traits or categories
• Browse: Popular, Trending, New, etc.
• Search using keywords.

This helps narrow down options quickly, though the process could be overwhelming for first-time users due to the sheer number of choices.

Sakura AI

Sakura AI offers a huge collection of anime-style AI girlfriends.

The search system is straightforward—you can filter by character type (male, female, non-binary, lesbian, etc.).

When you're looking for particular character types, you can also use keywords and toggle NSFW content on/off.

The library expands regularly as users add their custom-made characters to the public collection.

Customization

Yodayo

First, let's address the elephant in the room: Yodayo doesn't offer physical appearance settings. Instead, it focuses entirely on personality and interaction — you can only upload an image of your character.

You get two creation paths:

• Quick AI-assisted setup through YoPilot,
• Detailed manual customization.

Manual mode gives you more control - you write the character:

• Description
• Persona
• First message
• Scenario

Pilot keeps it simple: type in a name, description, and gender, and the AI does the heavy lifting.

You can choose voice presets (including celebrity voices) or upload your recordings.

The platform features hashtags and a tagging system that helps categorize your character.

The real customization happens in the advanced settings:

• Different LLM models
• System preset (such as roleplay, spicy roleplay, humor, etc.)
• Model parameters.

You can also customize image generation with many fine-tuning and preset options.

Sakura AI

Instead of tweaking physical features, you'll craft your character through storytelling in freeform text.

Basic customization lets you upload an image or generate one from text.

You can set gender and voice and even add a background image to your chat.

But that's not where Sakura AI shines. The real customization happens through free-text inputs.

You write your character's description, personality, and scenario from scratch and can also fine-tune how your AI responds through Model Instructions.

The platform includes a practical tagging system (Tsundere, Vampire, Non-binary, etc.) to help categorize your creation.

However, if you're looking for detailed physical customization like choosing eye color or body type, you won't find it here.

Chat Experience

Yodayo

The platform lets you pick from multiple AI models - from free options to premium ones like GPT-4 and Claude.

I tested Nephra 12b (a free model) and found the conversations flow naturally, without the robotic feel you might expect.

The flirtation level adjusts based on your interaction style, though it can sometimes get quite forward.

During testing, my girl handled both light chats and deeper conversations well, showing solid emotional awareness and offering comfort when needed.

Sakura AI

I tested my girl in a role as my ex-girlfriend, and the girl is warm, stays in character, and keeps conversations flowing.

When I needed emotional support, my girls offered it with a bit of flirtation, and she played along naturally.

Whether my girlfriend talks about relationship concerns, her responses feel genuine and thoughtful.

The app includes a mature content warning, so you can expect adult conversations when appropriate.

The chat interface needs improvement, sometimes it's hard to distinguish narrative messages from my girl's.

NSFW Chat Experience

Yodayo

My girlfriend handled sexual topics with surprising authenticity. She maintained her character and adapted to different scenarios without breaking immersion.

The role-play experience is solid. My girl stayed in character and followed conversation threads naturally, whether you're keeping things light and flirty or exploring deeper fantasies.

But she's not perfect - sometimes her responses can feel repetitive during longer sessions.

Sakura AI

During my testing, my girlfriend kept recycling the same flirty responses, even when I tried different approaches.

The biggest letdown? Her roleplay feature. My girl switches back to being my "ex-girlfriend" and starts repeating the same lines.

I tested this multiple times - same result.

The immersion breaks faster than you can say "mood killer."

Image Generation

Yodayo

Yodayo offers two ways to do it.

The In-chat image generation- ask for a picture, and a settings window will appear:

• What to generate (yourself, your face, or the last message)
• A custom prompt using free text
• The image engine and fine-tuning settings
• Canvas size, and more

The result? You'll get natural-looking photos that match your character, but occasional inconsistencies.

One limitation is that changing the pre-generated prompts can be difficult for new users and may lead to unwanted results.

The separate image tool offers more control, with detailed prompt explanations and precise settings.

While powerful, it comes with a catch: you can't generate images of your specific AI companion here. You'll need to use the in-chat generator for that.

Sakura AI

The images are clean and well-drawn, matching what you'd expect from modern anime art.

You can't control exactly what pictures you get. The app generates random images right in your chat conversations.

If you want to direct every detail of your character's appearance, you might find the randomness frustrating.

Video Generation

Yodayo

The app doesn't generate videos. Period. If you're after a more lifelike experience with video features, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Sakura AI

Sakura doesn't offer any video generation, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Voice Generation

Yodayo

The voice sounds robotic and flat - imagine Siri from 2011, not a modern AI girlfriend.

During my testing, even flirty conversations felt mechanical, with only slight tone variations that barely register.

Sakura AI

After spending hours testing different conversations, I can tell you, the voice is clear but lacks any real personality.

Think of it this way: Whether I'm flirting, joking, or having a serious chat, Sakura's voice stays flat.

Safety & Privacy

Yodayo

Your messages are locked down with bank-grade encryption. This means nobody, not even Yodayo's team, can peek at your private conversations.

But here's what you should know: Yodayo keeps your messages and shares some data with companies like Google Analytics.

When you check your bank statement, you'll see "Moescape AI" which apparently is new brand name for Yodayo. But what it meas for you? It means you can forget about the discretion.

Sakura AI

While Sakura claims to use advanced encryption, I couldn't find this explicitly stated in their policy. They also store your conversations and personal information. They share data with third parties.

On top of that, payment is more complicated than their competitors, as it requires using multiple platforms and connecting them together.

Your bank statement is safe - payments appear as "GANKPTELTD".
