What the subscription covers: chat, voice, images and video
Candy AI creates fictional AI companions for text chat and roleplay. Each companion follows the setting you give it. It answers your prompts and adjusts its tone to your mood and style, so the same character can read as playful in one session and steady in the next.
Image generation turns a text prompt into a personalised picture of your companion. Your prompt can specify:
- Outfit
- Pose
- Action
- Hair or eye colour
- Accessories
- Setting
You can generate between one and 16 images at a time, which matters for the token maths further down this page: a batch of sixteen eats the monthly allowance far faster than a single render.
AI video is a beta feature. It turns a generated image into a short animated clip. You choose a scene, a companion, and a movement or action. Clips run five seconds. It is the newest part of the offer and the one most likely to change, so treat it as a bonus rather than the reason to subscribe. The video beta section of the walkthrough shows where the option sits in the interface.
Candy AI offers more than 100 prebuilt characters. They differ in looks, personality and relationship style. Browse the profiles, pick one, and you start with an existing personality rather than a blank slate.
Pick a character or build one from scratch
Explore Candy AI characters on the official website before you start a chat. The character area sorts profiles into girls and guys. Each page shows a profile and gives you access to chat and media features, so you can judge the writing style before committing to a billing term.
Your chosen character can power text chat, voice, image generation and video. The same look and personality carry across every format. That consistency is the point: a companion you set up on Monday should still sound like itself on Friday, in a voice note as much as in text.

You can also build a companion from scratch with Candy AI's character builder. You set ethnicity, age, hairstyle, eye colour and body type, and you can give your companion a name. Creating characters is one of the features gated behind a paid plan, so the builder is the clearest reason to take a plan rather than stay on the free tier. The builder steps are covered in the walkthrough.
Plans and prices, term by term
Candy AI offers the US subscription options below. Annual and quarterly plans show a lower monthly price, and the monthly plan starts with a discounted first month. Nothing here is a one-off purchase: every term renews on itself until you stop it.
| Billing term | Price shown | Billing details |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | $5.60 | Renews weekly for the same term |
| Every two weeks | $9.79 | Renews every two weeks for the same term |
| Monthly introductory offer | $9.99 | Renews at $13.99 per month |
| Quarterly | $26.97 | Renews every three months for the same term |
| Annual | $47.88 | Renews yearly for the same term |
Read the table as a trade between flexibility and cost. The weekly term is the cheapest single payment and the most expensive way to stay subscribed for a year. The annual term is the opposite: one larger payment, the lowest effective monthly rate on the list.
Weekly
$5.60
Renews every week
- Smallest single payment
- Stop after one week if it is not for you
- Highest cost if you stay all year
Annual
$47.88
Renews every year
- Lowest price per month on the list
- Same premium benefits as every paid tier
- One charge to track instead of fifty-two
Monthly
$9.99
First month, then $13.99 monthly
- Discounted introductory first month
- Easy to budget month to month
- Quarterly at $26.97 sits just below it
What every paid plan includes
The feature set does not change between terms. Whichever one you pick, a paid plan includes:
- Unlimited text messaging
- The ability to create AI girlfriends
- Access to 18+ image and video generation
- The full Live Action experience
The plan also includes 100 tokens per month with those premium benefits. So the only real decision is how long a commitment you want, not which features you are willing to give up.
How the token allowance works
Paid subscriptions include a monthly token allowance. You spend tokens on image generation, voice notes and other media features, and the amount appears at checkout so you can confirm it before paying.
Free users can send up to five messages. After that, you need a subscription or other paid access. Five messages is enough to sample the writing style and nothing more, which is why the free trial below matters more than the free tier.
You can top up your token balance when the monthly amount runs short. Tokens belong to the account that bought them. You cannot transfer them, exchange them for cash, or use them to pay another balance.
A simple rule of thumb
If chat is your main use, 100 tokens a month is comfortable. If you generate images in batches, plan on a top-up. Unused tokens expire with the billing period, so there is no point saving them for a bigger project later.
The seven-day free trial
A seven-day free trial gives you full access to the main features. That includes voice, image and video. You can also browse characters and preview the service before you start the trial, which is the sensible order: look first, then start the clock.
Use the week deliberately. Send a handful of messages to a prebuilt character to judge the writing, then open the builder and make one companion of your own. Generate a small batch of images rather than sixteen at once, and try a single voice note. By day three you will know whether this is a weekly-term curiosity or an annual-term habit. Our step-by-step walkthrough runs through that first week in order.
Before the trial ends
Decide on a term while you can still compare. If you do nothing, you are on the path to a renewal at the price you accepted at sign-up. The cancellation steps are two taps and they are in the next section.
Opens candy.ai in a new tab. Adults only.
Renewal, cancellation and the tax line at checkout
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. Your payment method is charged on the first day of the new period, and any price change is announced before renewal. That announcement is your window to switch terms or stop.
To cancel your subscription:
- Open the account settings.
- Select Unsubscribe.
Paid features stay available until the current billing period ends. The next renewal is then stopped, so cancelling on day two of a monthly term does not cut you off on day two. Unused tokens expire when the billing period ends and do not carry over to a later period.
Attention: local taxes may apply
The final checkout total can be higher than the displayed price. Treat the figures on this page as the pre-tax amounts shown on the plan cards, and read the total on the payment screen before confirming.
Candy AI runs in a browser. The official website is candy.ai, and you can open it on a desktop, mobile phone or tablet. You create an account, choose an existing character or build your own, and start a conversation. There is no app-store download in the way, and no installation step. If you want the full sequence with the screens named, read the account creation steps.
Candy AI is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live. The website uses an age gate, and extra age or identity checks may apply depending on your location. Support runs through the site's contact area, where the same email address handles privacy, safety and content concerns. The platform uses moderation controls, and flagged content may get a manual review under its policies.
Before committing to a billing term, start with the seven-day free trial to see how chat, images and video fit your needs. Then choose the plan that suits you, and check the final total at checkout, since local taxes can raise it above the displayed price.
What subscribers say
4.6 average from 12,784 ratings and 547 written reviews collected across public review sites and our own reader survey.
Rated 5 out of 5
"I went in for the weekly tier purely to test it and ended up on the annual one. What sold me was the price per month working out lower than a single takeaway. The 100 tokens were gone within a week once I started generating images, so budget for a top-up if that is your main use."
Rated 4.5 out of 5
"The seven-day trial is the honest part of the offer. I used it to check whether voice notes and the character builder were worth paying for, then picked the quarterly plan. Cancelling later took two taps in account settings and the features stayed live until the period ended."
Rated 4.5 out of 5
"Clear pricing, no surprises apart from local tax at checkout, which nudged my total above the figure on the plan card. Video is still beta and the five-second clips are short, but as an extra on top of chat and images it is a fair deal at the monthly introductory price."

Frequently asked questions
How much does Candy AI cost per month?
The monthly plan opens on a $9.99 introductory price and renews at $13.99 per month afterwards. Spreading the cost over a longer term lowers it: quarterly is $26.97 every three months, annual is $47.88 per year. Short commitments cost more over time, at $5.60 per week or $9.79 every two weeks.
Is there a free version of Candy AI?
There is a free tier, but it is deliberately narrow: free users can send up to five messages. Beyond that you need a subscription or other paid access. A seven-day free trial gives full access to the main features, including voice, images and video, and you can browse characters before the trial starts.
How many tokens come with a paid plan?
Each paid plan includes 100 tokens per month alongside the premium benefits. Tokens cover image generation, voice notes and other media features. You can top up when the monthly amount runs short, but unused tokens expire at the end of the billing period and do not carry over.
Can I use Candy AI outputs for commercial projects?
No. Access is for personal use only, meaning entertainment or educational purposes. Using the platform, your account, or the content it generates for commercial projects is prohibited unless you get prior authorisation.
Can Candy AI responses contain mistakes?
Yes. Text, images, videos and voice content can be inaccurate, incomplete, unsuitable, or different from what you asked for. Check every output before you rely on it, and make sure your use of it complies with applicable laws and the platform's policies.
What information should I avoid sharing in a chat?
Keep financial details, passwords, private addresses, contact information and other sensitive personal data out of chats with an AI companion. You are responsible for protecting the information you type online, so share only what you would be comfortable seeing exposed. Our privacy policy explains what this site itself collects.
