The gist
Candy AI pricing comes in three Premium plans, checked October 6, 2026: $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, $8.99 a month on the 3-month plan, and $9.99 for the first month, then $13.99 a month, on the 1-month plan. Premium includes 100 tokens a month, and a paid Shorts episode costs 12 tokens, or 30 in the creator series. Episode 1 needs no account, and episode 2 only asks for a free sign-up on Candy.ai.
Candy AI pricing 2026: the three Premium plans
These are the plans candy.ai/subscriptions showed on October 6, 2026, in a US view. Prices depend on the region, and the checkout screen shows the final amount.
| Plan | Price | Billed | Discount shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | $3.99 per month | $47.88 per year | 70% off |
| 3 months | $8.99 per month | $26.97 per quarter | 35% off |
| 1 month | $9.99 the first month, then $13.99 per month | Monthly | 29% off |
All plans can be canceled at any time, renew automatically at the same price and term, and may add local taxes. At checkout we also saw a two-week option at $9.79 and a weekly option at $5.60. If you plan to follow more than one series, the 12-month plan has the lowest monthly price. If you want a single binge, the 1-month plan keeps the commitment short.
What Candy AI Premium includes
The plan page lists five features, quoted here as it words them:
- Create AI companions
- 18+ image and video generation
- "Full Live Action Experience"
- Unlimited text messages
- 100 tokens per month, credited on renewal
For Shorts viewers the last line is the one that counts. From episode 3, Premium plus tokens opens a series. Spicy series are Premium only: episodes 1 and 2 are included with Premium, and the rest use tokens. We tested Premium on the Shorts, not on the chat or the generators, so this page lists those features without rating them.
Candy AI tokens: what a Shorts episode costs
From episode 3, each episode costs tokens: 12 on 119 series and 30 on the 10 Candy Creator series, as shown on series pages on October 6, 2026. Premium credits 100 tokens a month on renewal, and more tokens can be bought. That allowance covers one five-episode creator series (90 tokens) or eight paid episodes at 12 tokens each. A little over two months of allowance finishes YES MA'AM, the longest series we rate.
The table counts what finishing a series takes, leaving out episodes 1 and 2, which are free or included. Spicy episodes after the first two cost 50 tokens where a creator twin leads (three series) and 30 elsewhere (four series), checked on October 7, 2026.
| Series | Episodes | Paid episodes | Tokens to finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not Under My Roof | 5 | 3 at 12 tokens | 36 |
| My Step-Sister's Dormitory (creator series) | 5 | 3 at 30 tokens | 90 |
| My Girlfriend's Stepsister (Spicy, Premium only) | 5 | 3 at 30 tokens | 90 |
| Caught Between Sisters | 15 | 13 at 12 tokens | 156 |
| YES MA'AM | 20 | 18 at 12 tokens | 216 |
Candy AI cost in euros and other regions
Candy AI cost depends on the region of the screen you load. The Italian view on September 23, 2026 showed €3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, €8.99 a month on the 3-month plan, and €9.99 for the first month, then €13.99 a month, on the 1-month plan. Whatever Candy AI price your own screen shows is the one that counts, and local taxes may apply on top.
Candy AI free trial: what is free, what is not
There is no Candy AI free trial as of October 7, 2026, and the sign-up asks for no card. What is free is the start of the Shorts: episode 1 as a guest, episode 2 after a free sign-up on Candy.ai, and the free-episodes page shows how to pick your pair. There is no Candy AI promo code either. After you register, Candy.ai offers Premium at 70% off the first subscription, with no obligation, and the plans print their own discounts: 70% off the 12-month plan, 35% off the 3-month plan and 29% off the first month of the monthly plan.
How to cancel Candy AI, and what you get back
You cancel in the account settings, any time, as the plan page says. The terms add that access continues to the end of the billing period you paid for, then reverts to the free version. A Candy AI subscription renews automatically at the same price and term, so a reminder a few days before the renewal date saves money. The billing name to look for is EverAI, as Is Candy AI safe? explains. Purchases are generally non-refundable. A discretionary refund is possible if you ask within 24 hours of payment and before streaming any media, for card payments only. Per the Candy.ai terms (checked October 7, 2026), tokens left when a subscription ends expire, so spend them first.
Try the free pair first, then pick the plan that fitsCandy.ai opens in a new tab. Affiliate link.
Watch episodes 1 and 2 freeAsked and answered
Is Candy AI free?
Partly. A guest watches episode 1 of each open series, and episode 2 comes after a free sign-up. Past that, you need Premium plus tokens, while the Spicy series ask for Premium from the first episode.
Does Candy AI cost money?
Yes, beyond the free pair. You pay for a Premium plan, from $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, and paid episodes use tokens, 12 or 30 each. The free sign-up for episode 2 costs no money.
How much does Candy AI cost to finish a series?
A five-episode series has 3 paid episodes: 36 tokens, or 90 in a creator series. One month of Premium credits 100 tokens, so a single month covers either.
How much is Candy AI?
From $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, billed $47.88 a year. The 3-month plan is $8.99 a month and the 1-month plan $9.99 the first month, then $13.99, as of October 6, 2026.
How to cancel Candy AI subscription?
Open your account settings on Candy.ai and cancel there, any time. Premium keeps running to the end of the period you paid for, then the account reverts to the free version.
