My take

Both give you a free tier, so you can try the chat on each before paying; expect message caps and few or no images until you upgrade. DreamGF simply does more: custom character creation, nsfw chat and image generation and voice messages are on its list and not on Joyland's. More features is only better if you will use them.

The better value in each row is marked in green. Search visits and brand searches are DataForSEO estimates; Tranco and Chrome UX tiers are ranks, not visit counts.

My take

Start with the row this site ranks on. When someone types "ai girlfriend" into Google in the US, DreamGF is there at #53; Joyland does not appear in the tracked positions at all. That is why DreamGF sits higher here even if it is the smaller site: it is the one the category sends newcomers to. On size, Joyland is the busier site: 233,430 search visits a month worldwide, more than 50 times what DreamGF gets (4,657). These are estimates of visits from Google only, so a site with apps or ads can be bigger than this shows. Brand searches are the loyalty line: 49,500 people a month type Joyland's name, against 2,900 for DreamGF. A name people type on purpose is a site they come back to; a site with lots of visits and few brand searches is living on rankings it could lose. DreamGF's Domain Rating of 60 against 44 means far more sites link to it, which is what keeps rankings stable; the weaker link profile is the one more likely to move, up or down, when Google reshuffles. In plain terms: Joyland is bigger, DreamGF is the one the category search points to.

“Users” is the balance of the YouTube reviews, Reddit threads and articles read for each brand page; “my test” is whether my own month on the site agreed with them.

My take

Users rate them about the same: 1 of 10 features positive for Joyland and 2 of 10 features positive for DreamGF. DreamGF gets it on image generation. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 3 points for Joyland and 1 point for DreamGF, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

My verdict on each

Joyland

#34 on the ranking

Joyland is the budget roleplay platform for people who left Character.AI, and after a month with it I understand both the pull and the leak.
