AT A GLANCE
Quick comparison
Curated vs catalog.
Candy's appeal is catalog breadth — a large library to browse, filter, and swipe. It's a menu.
Sloane is a roster. 80+ women, each one written to be a fully formed person — job, backstory, voice, photo library, all engineered together. Fewer options by design, higher floor on each one. When you pick Maya on Sloane, you're picking a person we shipped intentionally, not one of many entries in a catalog someone else assembled.
Photos that look like the same woman.
Candy's photos come from a text-to-image gen loop — you prompt for a scene, it draws. The character's face drifts between shots, subtly different each time.
Sloane trains a LoRA per persona on a curated photo set. The image model has actually learned each persona's face from many references. When she sends you a photo it looks like a photo — same woman, same features, every time.
Credits included, one clear ladder.
Both products use credits for photos and voice. What differs is how the ladder is priced and how many credits come bundled with the subscription.
Sloane's pricing is one clean ladder: Free, Plus $9.99, Premium $19.99. Plus bundles 100 credits every month; Premium bundles 350. Photos cost 5 credits, voice 5, video 25. If you burn through the monthly allowance, credit packs are transparent: $9.99/100, $19.99/250, $29.99/500 — the same price whether you buy the first or the tenth. No mystery-tier balances, no gates onto a higher subscription tier once you're hooked.
Memory that survives the long thread.
Community reports on catalog-style AI companion products consistently flag drift on long threads — the character forgets earlier details, replies start looping, the persona softens over time.
Sloane's memory extracts grounded facts about you (name, work, hometown, what you told her about your family) and persists them per-persona. Milestones layer on top — when you first met, important dates you've shared. Both feed every reply she sends. She brings up things you mentioned weeks ago; you don't have to remind her.
HONEST DIFFERENTIATION
When Candy AI is the better choice
You want the biggest character library
Candy leans on catalog breadth. If browsing a huge library and trying a new character each session is the fun, Sloane's tighter roster is a different value.
You prefer per-action pricing
Credit-metered products let you spend only on what you use. If that fits how you want to pay, that's Candy's shape.
You want a wide aesthetic range
Large catalogs cover more visual styles because entries come from many sources. Sloane's curated roster leans on one shared aesthetic direction.
