Sample images show peak output. They do not show whether the same face survives five generations. That gap is covered in this candy ai review.
Pretty Once Is Easy
A single polished image is a demo. A recognizable character across a week is a product.
Use this during a short trial with one character and written notes. If you cannot verify the point inside the product, treat the marketing claim as unproven.
Keep the trial boring on purpose. Same character, same questions after a break, same payment page. Excitement belongs to day one. Evidence belongs to day seven.
What drift looks like
Age, face shape, hair, or style shift while the prompt stays still. Users then burn credits repairing identity.

Keep the trial boring on purpose. Same character, same questions after a break, same payment page. Excitement belongs to day one. Evidence belongs to day seven.
Test with a frozen description
Do not keep adding adjectives to chase consistency. If the system needs constant prompt inflation, lock-in is weak.

Why This Matters for Regular Use
People who generate series notice drift immediately. People who chat only notice it later, when they want a stable portrait.

Compare like with like
Same character, similar framing, different days. That comparison is more honest than a vendor gallery.

Quality versus obedience
An attractive miss is still a miss if you asked for a specific scene. Instruction following is separate from finish.

Practical Bar
Keep the platform if the fifth image still looks like the first person. Leave if every image is a cousin.

Note
Visual lock-in saves money because it reduces regeneration.

Closing Perspective
AI companion platforms should be judged as software: continuity, cost, controls, and exit. A first chat is a demo. A week of ordinary use is the product. Keep the tool that reduces repair work and makes the bill easy to predict.
Write dates, forgotten details, image drift, and credits used. That small log is enough to compare options later without relying on the mood of the first evening.
If two platforms feel similar after one session, keep both only until the first 48-hour recall test. Most ties break there. The rest break when the credit balance moves.
