Prices seen on Candy.ai on November 5, 2026 (US, before local taxes). Premium includes 100 tokens a month. Prices change often: the checkout on Candy always shows the current offer. Page checked November 6, 2026.

What is free

On standard series, episode 1 plays with no account. Episode 2 is free once you create a free Candy account. Spicy series have no free episode at all and are visible only to members.

For most series, which have 5 episodes, that means you can see 2 of 5 before paying.

Tokens per episode

From episode 3 you can buy single episodes with tokens. A standard series episode costs 12 tokens. An episode of a digital twin series, led by an AI character modeled on a real performer, costs 30 tokens. Candy calls a token-bought episode "yours forever", and it plays in HD.

Token packs are sold on Candy, and we do not list token-pack prices because we have not verified them. Candy shows them when you buy.

What a subscription gives you in Shorts

Candy's upgrade screen for Shorts lists "Unlock all premium episodes" and "Watch in HD anytime, anywhere". It also mentions that AI generates the most spicy moments. Premium includes 100 tokens a month, about 8 standard episodes or 3 digital twin episodes. Candy also lists unlimited text messages, generating 18+ images and videos, and creating your own AI companions.

How the math works for a typical series

Take a standard series with 5 episodes. Episodes 1 and 2 are free, so episodes 3, 4 and 5 cost 36 tokens in total. Premium's 100 monthly tokens would cover that and leave 64 for another series. On a digital twin series the same three episodes cost 90 tokens, which uses most of a month's allowance.

If you also want Premium's other perks, such as unlimited text messages or HD playback of everything, the subscription is the simpler route. If you only want to finish one story, tokens avoid a recurring plan.

Which option fits you

  • One series, a few episodes: tokens. Finishing the last 3 episodes of a 5-episode standard series costs 36 tokens.
  • Several series or a long one: Premium. Long series such as YES MA'AM, with 35 episodes, make tokens expensive fast.
  • Digital twin series: compare carefully. At 30 tokens an episode, the monthly 100 tokens cover only 3.
  • Spicy series: you need a member login first. See the Spicy list.
  • Just curious: stay on the free episodes. Browse what is free.
