Candy AI Pricing: Premium, Tokens and Episode Costs

Candy AI pricing comes down to two layers: a Premium subscription that starts at $3.99 a month, and tokens that pay for the good stuff, including the Candy Shorts episodes where the clothes finally come off. Premium drops 100 tokens into your account every month, and most 5-episode series cost just 36 tokens to finish.

Below are the exact prices from the official Candy.ai subscriptions page (US, checked October 24, 2026), what Premium really includes, how many tokens each episode burns, and what it costs to binge the longest and filthiest series. No guessed token-pack prices, no fake “free Premium” codes, just the numbers.

Candy AI pricing 2026: every Premium plan

So how much is Candy AI? Candy.ai sells one product, Premium, on different billing terms, and the Candy AI price per month drops the longer you commit. Here’s the full price list, including the two shorter payment options that only show up at checkout.

Plan	Price per month	What you’re billed	Notes
12 months	$3.99	$47.88 per year	Shown as 70% off $13.99
3 months	$8.99	$26.97 every 3 months	Shown as 35% off
1 month	$9.99 first month, then $13.99	$9.99, then $13.99 monthly	Intro price applies to month one only
Biweekly option	About $21 if it keeps renewing	$9.79	Offered at checkout
Weekly option	About $24 if it keeps renewing	$5.60	Offered at checkout

The annual plan is the value pick by a mile. $47.88 covers a full year, which is less than you’d pay for four months on the monthly plan. Stay on the 3-month plan all year and you’ll spend $107.88; stay on monthly and year one costs $163.88 ($9.99 plus eleven renewals at $13.99).

The biweekly and weekly options look cheap on the checkout screen, but small charges add up. If $9.79 lands every two weeks or $5.60 every week, you’re paying roughly $21 or $24 a month, more than even the regular $13.99 monthly rate. Local taxes may be added to any price on this page.

One more thing people search for: a separate Candy Shorts subscription or CandyShorts price list. There isn’t one. The Shorts live inside Candy.ai, so Candy Shorts Premium is simply Candy AI Premium, and every episode is paid in the same tokens.

What does Candy AI Premium include?

The subscriptions page lists one set of Premium perks; the billing term changes what you pay, not what’s on the list. Here’s what’s in the box:

• 100 tokens per month, the currency that pays for Candy Shorts episodes past episode 2.
• Unlimited text messages with the AI characters, so a hot chat doesn’t hit a wall halfway through.
• 18+ image generation for adult, NSFW pictures of AI characters.
• 18+ video generation for adult video of AI characters.
• Create your own AI girlfriends instead of only picking from the ready-made cast.
• The “full live action experience”, as the plan page calls it.
• The right to unlock Candy Shorts episode 3 onward and the 17-series Spicy shelf, paid per episode in tokens.

Here’s the part that trips people up: Premium opens the door, tokens pay the cover charge. Subscribing doesn’t unlock every episode by itself. It gives you a monthly token allowance and the right to spend it.

Candy AI tokens explained: what each Candy Shorts episode costs

Tokens are Candy.ai’s in-app currency, and for Candy Shorts the rules are simple once they’re laid out. The token cost is set per episode, and it depends on whether the series sits on the public shelf (165 series) or the Spicy one (17 series).

• Episode 1, public series: free. No account, no card.
• Episode 2, public series: 0 tokens once you create a free account.
• Episode 3 onward, public series: Premium plus 12 tokens per episode on 151 series, or 30 tokens on 14 series, including digital-twin titles like Our Host Is Riley Reid.
• Spicy series: Premium required from episode 1. Episodes 1 and 2 then cost 0 tokens; later episodes cost 30 or 50 tokens each.

So the price of a series is the number of paid episodes times the rate. A standard public series runs 5 episodes: 2 free, 3 paid, 36 tokens in total. The bill climbs on the long story arcs and on the XXX titles of the Spicy shelf, where explicit sex starts in the opening episodes and every later episode costs more.

Tokens to finish popular series

Series	Shelf and rate	Episodes	Tokens to finish
Typical public series (e.g. Under the Boss)	Public, 12 per episode	5	36
Our Host Is Riley Reid	Public, 30 per episode	5	90
Spicy 5-episode series	Spicy, 30 per episode	5	90
Professor Mia	Spicy, 50 per episode	5	150
Mona’s Worst Enemy	Public, 12 per episode	15	156
Tori’s Broken Vows	Spicy, 30 per episode	10	240
Yes Ma’am	Public, 12 per episode	30	336
My Bestie Betrayed Me	Public, 12 per episode	34	384
Blackout at My Yacht Party	Spicy, 50 per episode	10	400

Want to plan your own lineup? Drop the series you’re eyeing into the token planner and it adds up the bill against your monthly allowance.

How far do 100 Candy AI tokens go?

Your monthly 100 tokens cover two standard 5-episode series (72 tokens) with 28 to spare, enough for two paid episodes of a third story. Or they cover one Spicy 5-episode series at 30 tokens an episode (90 tokens), which is the fastest route to XXX from the first scene.

Long series take patience or a top-up. Tori’s Broken Vows (240 tokens) is more than two months of allowance, Yes Ma’am (336) is more than three, and Blackout at My Yacht Party (400) eats four full months. You can pace a long series across several months, or buy an extra token pack and finish it in one night.

Extra Candy AI token packs: what we can tell you

Run dry mid-cliffhanger and Candy.ai will happily sell you more. Extra token packs are sold inside the app to members, and the bigger the pack, the less you pay per token.

We don’t list token-pack prices because they’re only visible inside the app, and we won’t print numbers that might not match your checkout. Before you buy, compare the per-token price of two pack sizes, and only buy what you’ll spend before your subscription ends, because leftover tokens don’t survive it.

Hidden costs: auto-renew, expiring tokens and taxes

None of this is a scam, but these are the details that catch people out:

• Auto-renewal. Every plan renews automatically for the same price and term. On the monthly plan, $9.99 is a first-month price; renewals run $13.99.
• Tokens expire. When your subscription ends, any remaining tokens expire. They can’t be carried over, transferred, traded or cashed out.
• Taxes. Local taxes may apply on top of the listed price.
• Refunds and chargebacks reset you. Either one cancels the purchase immediately and revokes Premium access and whatever tokens are left.
• “Free tokens” bait. Pages promising Candy AI free tokens, a free Premium account or a “Candy Shorts premium APK” are bait. The only free route is episodes 1 and 2 on candy.ai; our guide to Candy Shorts leaks shows how the fakes work.

How to cancel Candy AI and the 24-hour refund rule

You can cancel a Candy AI subscription any time in your account settings. It won’t stop on its own, so cancel before the renewal date if you don’t want another charge.

1. Log in to candy.ai.
2. Open your account settings and find your subscription.
3. Cancel it and keep the confirmation.
4. Spend any leftover tokens before the subscription ends, since they expire with it.

Refunds are tight. Outside the EU and UK, a Candy AI refund has to be requested within 24 hours of payment; after 24 hours, there’s no refund. EU and UK users have a separate statutory withdrawal right, covered in section 10.4.3 of the Terms of Service. Support is at support@candymail.ai.

Keep in mind that an approved refund doesn’t only return money. It also revokes Premium and any tokens left in the account, so if you’ve already unlocked half a series, that access goes with it.

Which Candy AI plan should you pick?

Your real Candy AI cost depends on how long you stick around, so match the plan to that. The break-even math is simpler than the checkout page makes it look:

• Just curious: stay free. Episode 1 needs no account and episode 2 needs a free one, which adds up to 331 free episodes. Our breakdown of what’s free on Candy AI covers everything you get without paying.
• One or two months: go monthly. $9.99 for one month, $23.98 for two, with 100 tokens each month. Cancel when you’re done.
• About three months: the 3-month plan at $26.97 beats three monthly payments ($37.97).
• Four months or more: go annual. $47.88 is cheaper than four months on monthly ($51.96) and cheaper than two 3-month terms ($53.94).
• Spicy and long-series bingers: annual, plus a token pack when you need one. At 30 or 50 tokens an episode, the Spicy shelf burns through 100 tokens fast.
• Chat and image fans: unlimited messages, 18+ images and video, and custom AI girlfriends all come with Premium, so pick the shortest term you’ll actually use.
