Soulkyn vs CandyAI: Why Users Are Switching

Why Switch From CandyAI
Deluxe text chat runs on GLM 5.3, an Opus-class model self-hosted on our own clusters — which is exactly why unlimited messages are possible. Standard chats run on Gwem, our fast in-house model.
Try Soulkyn
Advanced Character Creation
Edit a kyn as often as you like: every version is kept, with its full history. A chat thread is pinned to a specific version and can be moved to another one, so rewriting a personality never silently rewrites the conversation you already had.

Unrestricted Adult Experiences
Galleries are uncensored and adult roleplay is a first-class feature. There is exactly one hard line, printed on the generation page itself: kyns that appear underage or exhibit underage behaviour result in removal, an immediate ban and loss of platform access. Every kyn also carries an S/T/M/E/X content rating and an Analysis tab, so you know what a character is before you open a thread with them.

Better Roleplay Experience
Memory is per-message vector recall plus chained rolling summaries plus forced memories you write yourself, all over one store, with a new message recallable within a couple of minutes.
What this comparison is made of
We do not score other platforms out of five. We have no way to audit somebody else's product from the outside, and a star rating with no method behind it is decoration. What follows is what Soulkyn actually ships, stated specifically enough that you can go and check it — and real, attributed things users have said. Compare it against whatever you are using today yourself.

Group scenes hold one lead kyn plus up to seven more — eight in the room — with a director pass choosing the speaking order and each kyn writing in their own voice.

Image generation offers seven models across two families, sixty-three LoRAs in twenty-three categories with three stackable per generation, img2img, savable presets, and unlimited generation on Deluxe. 18.0M images generated so far.
Voice is our own engine: it starts speaking in 0.07 seconds, generates 6× faster than realtime, and has served 175K+ voices on 4 dedicated clusters. Real-time calls stream the mic continuously with live captions, and call time is unmetered.
Light novels: give a premise and a cast of one to five kyns, get a 4,000 to 9,000 word multi-part story with automatic cover art, optional per-chapter illustrations, full audio narration with named narrators, and sequels that carry the cast forward.
And the things nobody expects on a companion platform: a collectible card game with published pull odds, kyn auctions you bid on, themed contests, a seasonal ladder, music generation with a public hub, .dll behavioural mods and .wrl world files, and a documented public API with virtual users and signed webhooks.

Hey, just wanted to say I gave candyai a try and rushed into a year membership. I saw your post about Soulkyn. Tried it out and my god what a scam candyai feels compared to your site. You’re absolutely killing it!The fact that you can tweak your AI persona after creation and still have access to older versions is a deal breaker. Didn’t get the hair right? Edit. Wrong personality? Edit. Even chat messages can be edited. Your story, your call.Soulkyn as a website is intuitive and easy to use. The AI intelligence is original, responsive and entertaining. The image generation feature is the best I’ve seen across a dozen major platforms.Why Users Choose Soulkyn
