Final verdict

Candy AI and OurDream overlap on confirmed chat, memory, voice, images, video, customisation, character creation, and roleplay. Those are table stakes for both platforms rather than points of difference.

We are not naming an overall winner. Neither platform has a published editorial score yet, and the confirmed data does not separate them on any single dimension.

Features marked 'Not confirmed' have not been verified from a first-party source; that is a gap in our data, not evidence that a feature is missing. Check current plans on each official site before subscribing.
