Candy AI Review 2026: Price, Tokens and Is It Worth It?

Adults only. Candy AI’s underage policy says “users must be 18 years or older”, and its terms let the company ask you to “verify or re-verify that you are an adult”. This review covers price, billing, privacy and fit. It is non-explicit.

How this review was made. This is a documentation-based review. Prices, features and rules come from Candy AI’s own subscriptions page, homepage and terms, read on 3 November 2026, and its privacy notice and underage policy, read on 29 October 2026. Each page is listed in the sources. We have not run a paid account, so nothing here describes how chats feel or how good the images are. Prices are in US dollars as shown to us and may differ by country. See how we review for our method.

The short answer

Candy AI is built around one idea: design an AI girlfriend, then chat with her and generate pictures, voice notes and video of her. It runs in the browser, with no app to install. It is adults-only and run by EverAI Limited, a company based in Malta.

It is not a free app with an optional upgrade. The free account allows about five messages, so the real question is whether a subscription is worth it. Yearly billing ($47.88) is one of the cheapest paid plans among the companion apps we cover. Weekly billing is one of the most expensive.

If you mainly want conversation and a free tier you can keep using, look at Nomi or our best free AI companion apps first. Candy makes more sense if images and voice are the point for you.

What Candy AI costs

All figures are from the subscriptions page on 3 November 2026. The page shows each plan as a discount against $13.99 a month.

The yearly cost of the last three rows is our arithmetic, assuming the price does not change. The page adds that “additional local taxes may apply” and that plans renew “automatically for the same price and term”. The terms say any price rise “will be communicated to you in advance of any autorenewal”.

Read the checkout screen carefully. Weekly billing looks cheap per charge, but over a year it costs about six times the 12-month plan.

Charges appear on your bank statement as “EverAI”. Candy AI says it accepts Visa, Mastercard and cryptocurrency (it names BTC, ETH, USDC and Litecoin).

What you get, free and paid

The subscriptions page shows one list of benefits for every billing period, so paying yearly does not appear to get you fewer features than paying monthly.

Tokens are the catch. Unlimited text is included, but images, voice notes and video spend tokens, and a subscription comes with 100 a month. Candy AI does not publish how many tokens each image or voice note costs on the pages we read. The terms say leftover tokens “expire and become unusable” and “cannot be carried over to a new subscription”. If you expect to generate lots of images, budget for buying extra tokens.

Memory. The homepage says companions are “built with advanced personality modeling and memory retention”. It does not say how much a companion remembers or for how long, so we cannot compare it with apps that publish context sizes.

Cancelling and refunds

Cancelling. The subscriptions page says you can “cancel subscription at any time in settings”. Cancelling stops the next renewal.

Refunds. The terms are strict:

• “You have 24 hours after your payment to request a refund.”
• A refund “will be denied if you have used more than 20 tokens.”
• “We can only refund subscriptions that were purchased via card.” Crypto payments are not refundable under this rule.
• EU and UK residents may “withdraw from your contract within 14 days of the initial purchase”.

Chargebacks. If you file one, the terms say the purchase “is immediately cancelled” and your premium access and remaining tokens are revoked. Ask Candy AI’s support first. Our cancel and refund guide covers Candy AI next to eight other apps.

Privacy and safety points worth knowing

• Your messages may reach other companies. The privacy notice says third-party large language model providers “may receive the content of your messages”.
• Deleting is a request, not a button. The privacy notice describes no in-app deletion. You ask the privacy team (support@candymail.ai), and it says account data is then deleted “without undue delay”.
• Closing is not deleting. If you only close your account, Candy AI says it keeps account data for up to “three years after your last Account activity”, and financial records for ten years.
• Encryption. The homepage says data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher. It does not claim end-to-end encryption.
• Content rules. The terms state a “zero-tolerance policy” on child sexual abuse material, say known material is reported to NCMEC or local authorities, and say requests for prohibited content may be moderated or altered.

Pay if, skip if

Pay (yearly) if:

• You want images, voice notes or video of a companion you design, not just text.
• You are happy using a website instead of an app-store app.
• You will use it for months, so the $47.88 yearly charge beats paying monthly.

Skip it if:

• You want a free tier you can keep using. Five messages is a trial, not a tier.
• You want an official iPhone or Android app.
• You would be uncomfortable with message content reaching third-party AI providers, or with data kept for up to three years after you stop.
• You might want a refund after a few days. The 24-hour, 20-token rule leaves little room.

Honest alternatives:

• Nomi (see Candy AI vs Nomi) has a real daily free tier and official phone apps, and focuses on conversation and memory. Its paid plans cost more per year than Candy’s yearly plan.
• Nectar AI is the closest match on images and video, with long-term memory on its top plan.
• SpicyChat has a free tier and a large catalogue of user-made characters, with paid plans from $5.95 a month.
• Our Replika alternatives and best free AI companion apps guides compare more options.

Before you sign up: a 60-second checklist

1. Confirm you are 18 or over and that adult AI services are legal where you live.
2. Pick the 12-month plan only if you are fairly sure you will keep using it. Otherwise pay for 1 month and accept the higher renewal price.
3. Avoid weekly and two-weekly billing unless you only want it for a few days.
4. Pay by card if you want any chance of a refund.
5. Do not share your real name, address, workplace or photos of other people in chats.
6. Set a calendar reminder a few days before renewal.

What we could not confirm

• How many tokens an image, voice note or video costs.
• Whether the weekly and two-weekly options are separate plans or a payment schedule for the monthly plan.
• How long companions remember earlier conversations.
• Whether prices differ outside the US. The page we saw showed US dollars.
• Any official App Store or Google Play app. We found none.
