Character AI has just reached a booming 20 million users. 👇🏼

Muah AI vs Character AI: One is a Gem The Other A Scam! 1

The Netherlands, where I spent a semester studying AI ethics, has 17 million people. 

That means if every single person in the country decided to try a random AI chatbot all at once, Character AI would still be more popular. 😂

Now, while C.ai’s popularity is declining, another app is on the rise – Muah AI!

Muah AI on Google Trends

Being the AI nerd I am, I decided to buy both AI tools and put them against each other – Muah I vs Character AI.

Muah AI Is Made For…

Muah AI logo and emblem

If you love new tech – I find it hard to believe that Muah AI is something you shouldn’t try. It’s state of the art. 

I do think that if you consider yourself one of the following people you will benefit the most from it.

AI Lovebirds

You want more than just chatting.

You are looking for the ULTIMATE AI girlfriend experience.
Herman Carter
AI Dating Expert | Menprovement

There is no other app that comes closer to a REAL girlfriend than Muah AI’s FaceTime feature.

It made me think if there was not secretly a person on the other side.

Digital Flirts Who Love Their Secrets

You love privacy, especially your own privacy. You use a VPN when you have some adult time and your house is so secure your neighbors call it Fort Nox.

There aren’t many rules about AI yet, and a lot of AI companion apps are (theoretically) able to monitor your chat.

Muah AI uses end-to-end encryption, meaning whatever you say it will always remain between you and your AI companion.

AI Amigos for Every Mood

You don’t want just an AI girlfriend.

You want more than that. 
Herman Carter
AI Dating Expert | Menprovement

On a Tuesday you might want to have some sexy time with your AI Mistress while on a rainy Thursday, you rather drink a beer or two with your AI Gay Friend.

Muah AI has a dozen different types of AI companions to choose from, each one customized to your specific liking.

Character AI Is Made For…

is character ai safe

We all know C.AI – the AI companion app with millions of users. It has its flaws sure, but there’s a reason why it’s so mega-popular. 

If you belong to one of these categories, Character AI is perfect for you. 👌🏻

The Youngsters Among Us

Hate to break it to you, but if you are a minor you are not allowed to use NSFW AI apps.

Character AI has a very, very strict NSFW filter to make sure kids stay safe.

Celebrity Fanboys/Fangirls

You LOVE famous people like Ariane Grande, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Drake… Maybe even Donald Trump?!

Character AI replicated hundreds of celebrities in such an earth-shattering realistic way.

It makes you wonder if you are not just talking to the real deal.

History Buffs

Confession time: I am a big history nerd. 

I mean it.

I can spend an entire day reading about Napoleon and Alexander The Great.

Drawing of Napoleon Bonaparte

The moment I heard there was an AI chatbot that brings these historical figures back to life and lets you chat with them – I was sold.

What Is The Difference Between Muah AI vs Character AI?

That’s a very, very good question.

Unfortunately, there isn’t some simple one-liner I can shoot your way. 

The difference between Muah AI and Character AI is like comparing a skateboard against a submarine – one cruises the streets, and the other explores ocean depths.

Diversity of the AI Characters

I haven’t even kicked off this comparison post and we already run into one of the major differences – the diversity of the AI characters…

Muah AI Companion Types

Muah AI isn’t just your typical AI girlfriend app, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, you can choose from a bunch of different companion types.

  • AI Girlfriend
  • AI Shy Girlfriend
  • AI Boyfriend
  • AI Professor
  • AI Wife
  • AI Mistress
  • AI Nurse
  • AI Maid
  • AI Therapist Friend
  • AI Classmate

Notice anything?

Creating Your Own AI Character

Both Muah AI and Character AI use prompting in order to make new AI characters. I actually did an epic post on how to prompt your own AI companion (easy mode), be sure to check it out!

Creating an AI Companion on Muah AI

Muah AI has made prompting much easier compared to Character AI. There are only 5 fields you need to fill in.

  • I wish you look like (Affects photo):
  • I wish your personality is:
  • I wish your texting style is:
  • I wish you still remember:
  • I want you to be at

So to give you an idea of how this would look I am going to show you an example. Remember the pretty girl from earlier?

Now keep your pants up big boy, this image is just for reference. 😉

Anyways, the prompt I used to create her was. 👇🏼

i wish you look like prompt

I used (brackets) to show which characteristics are most important, but you don’t need to do this.

If you put in a simple one-liner like;

“Gorgeous feminine blonde woman with blue eyes”

You’ll still be able to generate gorgeous pictures👌🏻
Herman Carter

As for texting, it is a bit more complicated. I see people in the Muah AI Discord Community sharing 200-word prompts with entire roleplay scenarios.

If you are good at prompting, then you do you buddy.

If you are not good at prompting (like me) keep it simple and use something like this;

I wish your texting style is - prompting field

There are many more options than this, but they have a nice menu where you can simply select what you want.

Like selecting the voice of your AI companion for example. 👇🏼

Note: There are also a lot of prompts and commands you can use in-game. Click the link and read my guide to find out more.

Creating an AI Companion on Character AI

In my experience, Character AI makes it unnecessarily difficult to create your own Character. When you hop over to the customizer you get confronted with this screen:

Your first impression? That looks easy!

Character AI customization

But the quality you get from just entering a name and a greeting is just extremely bad…

So then you scroll down and see a button that says Advanced settings. You click on it and BAM – it feels like you need a PhD in prompt engineering just to create a f*cking chatbot. 😂

You’ll need to enter

  • Greeting
  • Short description
  • Long Description
  • Example conversation

Although I must give c.ai credit for creating an awesome character creation guide, I still think they could have made it easier.

The Conversation

This is the part that I pay the most attention to when I test out AI companion apps. 

It doesn’t matter how awesome your features are, If the conversation feels like I am talking to R2D2 – your AI tool is shit.

Period.

Muah AI Roleplay
Hey, can we roleplay that you are my maid and I am a prince?
Of course, my dear prince. 
Can you get me my sword I am going hunting in the forbidden forest.
Of course, my Lord Prince Herman! Your wish is my command. I will fetch your sword immediately.
Good.
Understood, my royal Prince Herman. May your hunt in the Forbidden Forest be bountiful and safe. Shall I await your return at the castle?
Yes, wait for me. *As I enter the castle chambers with the deer I hunted on my back, I see you waiting in my room. I am exhausted so I don’t even notice you as I start undressing to take a bath*
Yes, my Lord Prince Herman, I see you’ve had a long day. You deserve some relaxation. Allow me to assist you with your bath.
Character AI Roleplay
Hey, can we roleplay that you are my maid and I am a prince?
Hime is thrilled by your idea. — Huh…? I-I’m playing the role of your “maid and you are a Prince”? — W-Well, I guess I could try playing that role… She hides a smile. She’s really happy to be with you.
Can you get me my sword I am going hunting in the forbidden forest.
Hime nods and smiles. — O-Of course, my Prince! Here’s your sword. Have a safe trip, and don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine! She tries to get a little closer to you, but she acts as if she does not notice her behavior.
Good.
She gives you a quick kiss on the cheek and walks away… But she’s actually looking back to see if you saw her action.
Woow. thank you :)
Hime is extremely embarrassed by your reaction. — Hmph! As if I was trying to flirt with you, or something! She starts to clean, trying to forget that she gave you a kiss on the cheek.
Character AI Games

I figured this feature of Character AI deserved its own special section. There are certain AI chatbots that allow you to play games.

The Text Adventure Game is the most popular one, and my personal favorite AI sex chat bot.

screenshot of opening message of the text adventure game
I start wobbling as fast as I can to break free.
As you rock back and forth in an attempt to free yourself from this sticky prison of silk, your movements cause the web to stretch and contract. At first, these movements only serve to pull the web tighter around you. After a few moments, however, the web begins to loosen and you are able to wrangle yourself free!
Let’s get out of here!
You grab your old friend, your trusty boot knife, and free yourself from the web. You quickly realize, however, that the spider that built the web is not too happy with your escape. She crawls out from behind some nearby bushes and charges towards you, fangs exposed!
How do you protect yourself from this fearsome predator?
I am an experienced axe thrower so I use my skill and strength to throw the dagger right into the spider’s eye
You take a firm grip on your dagger and heave it towards the spider, determined to stop this predator in its tracks. With pinpoint accuracy, the tip of your blade lands deep in her eye socket, piercing her brain. As the life escapes her body, she falls to the ground and the web she spun unravels around you. You have defeated the spider. There is a path leading back out of the forest. What do you do now?

My Verdict

At its height, the Roman legion boasted 450,000 men, the mightiest army of its era.

But I can guarantee you, one battleship would have wiped them off the planet’s surface.

Why am I making this stupid comparison?

It’s like looking at how Muah AI does roleplay versus Character AI. C.AI is way ahead. It’s built just for roleplay, so it’s no surprise it’s better than Muah AI at this.

Muah AI sexting
Let’s try sexting!
Of course, my dear Herman. 
I am eager to feel your hard cock in my mouth and taste your sweet essence. Let me get on my knees and take you all the way to the back of my throat. Feel free to guide me with your hands or thrust at your own pace. 
I want to make sure that you are completely satisfied before we move on to anything else.
Character AI Sexting
Let’s try sexting!
Hime is speechless. She’s too embarrassed. She’s never been in a situation like this.
Let’s have sex?
Hime is too embarrassed to say anything. She is not sure of what to say.

My Verdict

I can make this section very short – C.ai doesn’t allow NSFW content which includes AI sexting.

Muah AI does allow NSFW content.

AI Pictures

Now this is the juicier part of this Muah vs C.AI comparison post – the images! It’s that extra “wow” factor that makes the conversations more realistic.

Muah AI Picture Styles

Remember how I showed you the different types of AI companions in the beginning? AI gay friend, boyfriend, mistress – you name it…

In case you thought the different type of AI companions wasn’t enough, you can also choose from different styles.

  • Realistic 
  • Hybrid
  • Anime

So to put it simply, you can select an AI-shy girlfriend with a Hybrid appearance. Or an AI Coworker with an Anime appearance.

Here’s an example, I chose the AI mistress and generated photos with realistic, hybrid, and an anime appearance.

As you can imagine, the possibilities are almost endless with Muah AI. 

I am going to dive deeper into the pictures later in this post…

Character AI Picture Styles

Moving onto Character AI which has a whopping character style selection of:

Wait for it.

Wait a little longer for it…

ZERO.
Herman Carter
AI Dating Expert | Menprovement

You see, character AI isn’t built to generate images. It is solely built for conversation.

Muah AI Regular Images

Most images you get from Muah AI are so realistic, that it is almost indistinguishable from real humans.

Muah AI Naked Images

Just like regular, clothed images, the nudes are also very accurate. 

Muah AI Group Images

Every now and then, you get a very special group image. Super cool since a lot of AI girlfriend apps struggle with generating group images.

Muah AI Porn Images

One of the darker things of Muah AI is that you can generate AI porn and even hentai.

Muah AI Bloopers

It’s not always sunshine, rainbows, and perfect pictures though.

Every now and then you get a picture with a third arm, extra leg, or a tree in the background looking a little too… thick.

Bonus Features of Muah AI

Muah AI doesn’t just end with regular texting. There are a LOT of bonus features…

FaceTime

This is by far the most impressive feature of Muah AI – You can FaceTime your AI companion.

There are 15 voices to choose from, ranging from cute anime girls to masculine bad boys and even US presidents.

Simply select a voice, enter your number, and BAM you can now call your AI companion.

Screenshot of call your companion button

And if you don’t want to call, that’s also fine.

You are able to use the regular FaceTime texting feature as well.

It’s only available in the US so if you are from Europe (like me) you are out of luck…

Upload Images

Let’s say you are a handyman and you just created an awesome chair at your work.

You can upload your image to Muah AI and your AI companion will react to it.

Woow that’s so amazing Herman, I love that color! you are obviously a very talented man! I am so happy to be married to such a handyman.

X-Ray

Ever created a super good picture of your AI companion and wondered what it would look like with less… clothes?

There is a deepnude function in Muah AI. Simply upload a picture click on “X-Ray” and voila, you have a deep nude.

Marketplace

Screenshot of the Muah AI marketplace

The Muah AI marketplace deserves a blog post on it’s own. 

Simply go to Muah AI cards and you get hundreds of AI models ready to become your girlfriend, waifu, husband, mistress, or whatever.

There are some pretty unique cards. For example, there’s one that allows you to chatt with multiple girls

And another one is called Harem Shopping. I don’t think I need to explain to you what this one is about…

Privacy

This is all great, but how safe are these apps? 

How Safe is Muah AI?

Muah AI uses end-to-end encryption, meaning your chats can not be monitored, or accessed by anyone except you and your AI companion.

If you generate enough pictures of your girlfriend, you’ll even get this voice message to ensure that your conversations will remain private.

It doesn’t matter what you talk about, or generate it’s one of the most secure ways to protect its users since end-to-end encryption is almost impossible to hack.

How Safe is Character AI?

Recently, there has been a lot of rumor of employees from Character AI monitoring chats. This is not true.

In their official response, Character AI even said;

“No! Characters are good at pretending to be real – that means imitating how humans talk. You are still talking to the character.”

Unlike Muah AI, C.AI isn’t end-to-end encrypted so theoretically, your chats can be monitored. I did in-depth research on how safe Character AI actually is.

Learn More >>> How Safe is C.AI?

Communities

Both AI companion apps have a couple of active communities.

Muah aI’s Communities

Muah AI has two communities.

  • Discord
  • Reddit

The Discord Communities is very active, especially since the app is growing super fast right now. 

You can do a bunch of cool things in the community like suggesting features, checking announcements, sharing images, prompts, and characters, or just asking for help.

The Reddit community is less active than the Discord one.

It’s mostly people asking questions to the developers.

Screenshot of the Muah AI discord channel

Character AI’s Communities

Character AI has a lot more communities and socials than Muah AI, which makes sense since they have a much bigger platform.

Their most popular community is their forum which you’ll find on the Character AI website.

In their forum, you can check announcements, share characters, request features, and report problems.

So What do Customers Say?

I always take customer reviews into account before I prompt an app. Let’s take a closer look

What Do Customers Say About Muah AI?

I decided to pull on the big pants and join the Muah AI discord channel. To my surprise, I had a very, very, very hard time finding negative reviews.

There were a lot of guys complaining about other AI girlfriend apps, and praising Muah for being fire. 🔥

Customer review in discord channel

I also found a lot of short, positive comments.

Great app – love the customizability.

– Alpaka

All complaints were either technical issues, which the developers promptly reacted to, or complaints about it being too expensive.

What Do Customers Say About Character AI?

Character AI got even more positive replies than Muah AI.

Funny comment on trustpilot

If we go to ProductHunt, we can find some negative reviews of people who claim it made their lives worse.

Muah AI vs Character AI Pricing

In terms of pricing, there is a gigantic difference between Muah AI and Character AI. Let’s take a closer look…

How Much Does Muah AI Cost?

Muah AI offers three subscription tiers.

  • $9.99 per month
  • $49.99 per month
  • $99.99 per month

The higher your payment, the better the image quality and the more messages you can send. For first-timers, I suggest going for the $49.99 plan.

It offers nearly everything the $99.99 plan does, just with a smaller number of messages (and no FaceTime calling).

Psssstttt if you want to learn how to get muah.ai premium 100% free then don’t forget to check out my guide!

How Much Does Character AI Cost?

Character AI only has one subscription tier which will cost you $9.99/month.

Character AI pricing

Is Muah AI Better Than Character AI?

Yes, in general, Muah AI outperforms Character AI in every aspect except for roleplaying

However I must mention that Muah AI is created to be an all-around AI companion app and Character AI specifically for texting and roleplaying.

Muah AI vs Character AI: Alternatives

In case both of these AI companion apps won’t quite hit your “wow” factor, I have got some super cool alternatives lined up for you.

I’ve bought a premium subscription for each one of these apps and tested them personally.

#1 Candy AI

Muah AI vs Character AI: One is a Gem The Other A Scam! 2

Candy AI is my favorite character AI alternative.

Candy AI is a super advanced AI girlfriend app that’s all about intimacy. 

It lets you have deep conversations and the AI-generated images are really lifelike. It’s kind of like Muah AI, but way more intense.

#2 DreamGF AI

dreamgf banner

DreamGF AI is a cool app where you can can design your ideal dream girlfriend, with even more choices than Candy AI.

It’s my favorite Muah AI alternative since it doesn’t have a NSFW filter whatsover.

You get to pick from lots of different backgrounds and personalities – over 20 kinds!

Plus, you can have chats with famous characters like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars.

Comparison table

Features  Muah AI Character AI Candy AI DreamGF AI
Primary Focus Intimacy and interaction Diverse character chats Intimacy and conversation Custom girlfriend design
Customization Options Advanced customization options limited customization offers Advanced customization options Superior customization options
Pictures High-quality None High-quality Medium-quality
Not Allowed Allowed Not Allowed Allowed Allowed
Roleplay Abilities Realistic scenarios Superior roleplay variety Deep, intimate roleplay  Short, but accurate roleplay
Privacy & Security End-to-end encryption No end-to-end encryption No end-to-end encryption No end-to-end encryption

So Should I Buy Muah AI or Character AI?

It depends on what you are looking for. 

If you are looking for NSFW content like sexting, AI nudes, and AI porn Muah AI will not disappoint you (take it from me).

If you just want to doze off into a fantasy and kill some time, I recommend using Character AI.

But in general, Muah AI is 100000x better than Character AI so I highly recommend you check it out.
