Verdict

Choose MyLovely.ai if…

You want the most complete AI companion experience in a single platform — combining unrestricted chat, character-consistent image generation, and video in one place. MyLovely.ai is also the right choice if you care about genuine cross-session memory (your companion actually remembers what you've shared), or if you want to explore before committing — the free tier is meaningfully usable, not just a teaser.

Choose Candy AI if…

You want the widest selection of ready-made companions to explore — with 100+ pre-built characters across a variety of styles and personalities, there's something for every preference. Candy AI is also the better pick if voice calls matter to you, or if you prefer working with a platform that has a large, established content ecosystem behind it.

Bottom line

Two great platforms, different strengths

MyLovely.ai wins on depth and value: deeper memory, a more personal relationship dynamic, built-in multimedia, and a genuinely usable free tier make it our overall #1. Candy AI wins on variety and voice: if breadth of choice and the ability to hear your companion's voice are priorities, it's a compelling runner-up. Both deserve their spot in the top two — the right choice comes down to what matters most to you.
