Candy AI Pricing 2026: Plans, Token Costs, Cancellation and Refunds

Candy AI pricing 2026: the three Premium plans

There is one paid tier, Premium, and three ways to be billed for it. The longer the commitment, the lower the monthly rate. Checkout prices in September 2026:

All three buy an identical package. You get every Candy Shorts episode after the free pair, Spicy titles included, with offline viewing and no ads, plus companion chat, image generation and video generation on Candy.ai and a monthly token allowance. Only the commitment differs. The Candy AI price moves with promotions, so check the official checkout on the day you pay.

CandyAI Shorts works independently and has no affiliation with Candy.ai, CandyShorts or EverAI Ltd. Subscribing through our links may earn us a commission, and it never changes what you pay.

Does Candy AI cost money if you only want the Shorts?

Not if two episodes per series are enough. A free account opens the feed plus the opening two episodes of each series that lacks the Spicy tag. Payment starts at episode 3, or right at episode 1 for a Spicy title, and in October 2026 eleven of the catalog’s 140 series carried that tag. Our guide to what Candy AI gives away free maps the no-cost layer in full.

Beyond the free episodes you have two routes:

• A subscription. Bought on candyshorts.com, a Premium plan covers every series by itself, so nothing else is ever charged for viewing.
• Tokens per episode. In the Candy.ai app a locked episode can be bought on its own: 12 tokens for series such as Mona’s Worst Enemy or My First Night Shift, 30 tokens for others such as Under Her Watch or Bonnie Blue is My Stepsister. Once bought, the episode stays unlocked.

Converted at the $9.99-per-100 pack price, the token route looks like this for three titles:

One month of Premium, at $13.99, opens all three and the rest of the catalog. Tokens make sense for finishing a single short series; for a fifteen-episode title or a few series in a row, a plan is cheaper and easier to predict. Our Candy Shorts series guides give the unlock price for each title where it is known.

Monthly, quarterly or yearly: which Candy AI subscription fits?

Paying $47.88 for a year costs less than four months of the monthly plan, and the quarterly plan lands between the two. You are choosing a commitment, not a feature set:

• Monthly, $13.99: a short visit. Finish a series or two, then cancel before the next renewal.
• Quarterly, $8.99 per month: a longer stretch of viewing without a twelve-month charge.
• Yearly, $3.99 per month: the lowest rate, and the logical pick if you also use the chat or image tools, since a single Premium covers both. This is the plan behind the 70% figure.

For newcomers the low-risk sequence is free episodes first, then one paid month, and a yearly plan only after the series have proved they keep you coming back.

Candy AI tokens: what they cost and what they pay for

Candy.ai runs a token economy inside its app. Each Premium month adds roughly 100 tokens on the renewal date, and top-up packs start at $9.99 for 100 as of September 2026. Typing to a companion is free of tokens. Generating images, voice replies or videos costs tokens, as does unlocking a single episode in the app’s Candy Shorts tab.

Two consequences are worth knowing. Heavy app users can end up spending more on tokens than on the plan, a recurring complaint about Candy AI pricing. And a leftover balance is best written off when a subscription ends, because old tokens do not carry into a new subscription later; use them up before you cancel. If the series are the only thing you want, a plan bought on candyshorts.com keeps tokens out of the equation.

Cancelling a Candy AI subscription in three steps

Every plan is sold as cancel anytime. The cancel button lives on Candy.ai even for plans bought on candyshorts.com, since candyshorts.com bills through Candy.ai:

1. Sign in on candy.ai with the account that holds the plan.
2. Go to My Profile, then Settings.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and use the Unsubscribe button.

That stops the next renewal; it does not cut off access that day. Premium keeps working through the period already paid for, and afterwards the account reverts to a free one, which keeps the feed and the two free episodes of each standard series. Coming back later works with the same account.

Can you get a refund from Candy AI?

Rarely. Candy AI treats payments as final, although it may, at its discretion, return a card payment within 24 hours; other payment methods are not covered. The fine print differs slightly by site, because candyshorts.com purchases go through Candy.ai. For a CandyShorts purchase, no paid episode may have been streamed or opened. For a Candy.ai purchase, the request fails once more than 20 tokens have been spent.

If the account was restricted for rule violations, no refund is paid at all. Buyers in the EU and UK can also withdraw within 14 days of their first purchase, minus a share for what they already used, though renewals are excluded. Outside those two regions, the first 24 hours are the only realistic chance to get money back.

What appears on your bank statement, and which payment methods work

Depending on your location, you can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, a credit or debit card, crypto, or a bank transfer through Volt or Pix. The line on your statement reads EverAI, the name of the company in Malta that owns Candy.ai and CandyShorts, not Candy AI. Check for that name before disputing a charge you do not recognize. Our Candy AI safety guide goes deeper into payment processors and data handling.

Candy AI promo codes and discounts: what is real

The only standing discounts are the ones printed on the plans: 70% off advertised on the yearly rate and 35% off on the quarterly one, applied without any code. Candy.ai sometimes runs Premium promotions that include a free trial of its companion chat, but none of them opens complete Candy Shorts series.

Coupon pages promising bigger Candy AI discounts deserve suspicion. Many are run by the same people behind fake video players and card-collecting “age checks”, and our guide to Candy AI leak sites shows how they work. Type your card number on candy.ai or candyshorts.com and nowhere else.

Is Candy AI Premium worth the money?

Measured against other paid adult subscriptions, $3.99 a month on the yearly plan is cheap, and the free episodes give you a real preview before any charge. The weak spot is transparency: cost can be split between a plan and tokens, so someone buying episodes one by one in the app may pay more than the headline figure for series a plain subscription would open. Read the refund conditions before the first payment, because unless you live in the EU or UK you get one day to change your mind. For what the series themselves are like, see our Candy AI review.
