Candy AI Pricing 2026: Plan Costs, Token Math and How to Cancel

Candy AI pricing 2026: how much is Candy AI per month?

Candy AI pricing rests on a single paid tier, called Premium, offered in three billing lengths. The per-month figure falls as the commitment grows, which is the entire logic of the checkout: a year paid up front costs a fraction of twelve separate monthly renewals. The figures below are what the CandyShorts checkout displayed in September 2026, and the identical Premium subscription also switches on the chat, image and video tools of the Candy.ai companion product. Promotions rotate, so read the table as a dated reading and confirm the current rate on the official page before entering a card.

A word on where these numbers come from. Candy Ai Shorts Explained is an independent guide with no connection to EverAI Ltd., Candy.ai or CandyShorts. If you subscribe through one of our partner links we may receive a commission, which never changes the price you pay.

What Premium unlocks, and what a free account already includes

Before comparing plans it helps to know what the money buys. A free account, which asks for an age confirmation and no card, opens the Candy Shorts feed and the first two episodes of any series that does not carry the Spicy tag. In September 2026 that tag sat on 7 of the platform’s 113 series, and a Spicy title has no free episodes whatsoever. Our guide to whether Candy AI is free inventories the no-cost layer in detail.

Premium picks up from there. It covers every episode from the third onward, the complete run of any Spicy series, offline viewing and playback without ads, plus the chat, image and video features on the companion side. Put simply: sampling costs nothing, finishing costs a plan, and the Spicy tag moves the paywall forward to episode one.

On paper the monthly plan functions as a paid trial: long enough to finish one or two series, short enough that a change of mind costs $13.99 rather than a year.

Candy AI tokens explained: the second price tag

Tokens are where the headline price gets complicated, and they only matter inside the Candy.ai app. Premium there includes a monthly allowance, typically 100 tokens credited on the renewal date, and additional packs were listed from $9.99 per 100 in September 2026. Plain text chat costs no tokens. Image, voice and video requests do, and so does opening certain Shorts episodes from the app’s Candy Shorts tab: the series pages we track listed 12 or 30 tokens per locked episode at the time of writing.

Two things follow. First, an app-side viewer who opens many episodes can end up spending beyond the subscription itself, a complaint that surfaces regularly in user forums. Second, the terms say unused tokens lapse when the subscription ends. If the series are your only interest, subscribing on candyshorts.com avoids the token layer completely, because there the plan alone opens the whole catalog.

Candy AI subscription cost across a year: three scenarios

The monthly-equivalent figures hide how differently the plans behave over twelve months, so here is the arithmetic, using only the advertised rates.

• Month to month for a year: twelve renewals at $13.99 come to more than three times the annual charge, the price of maximum flexibility.
• Quarterly for a year: four renewals at the $8.99 monthly equivalent add up to more than double the annual charge, a middle path for someone following several series at once.
• Annual: one payment of $47.88, the source of the 70% claim, and the natural choice for anyone who also uses the companion tools every month.

Whichever length you pick, the content is identical. You are choosing a commitment, not a feature set. For a plain-language look at the product behind the price, read our Candy AI review.

How to cancel a Candy AI subscription, step by step

Every plan is marketed as cancel anytime, and the mechanism is the same whether you bought on candyshorts.com or in the app, because CandyShorts payments run through Candy.ai. According to the help center, you sign in at Candy.ai, open My Profile, go to Settings and press the Unsubscribe button at the foot of the page. What the terms say happens next, as of September 2026:

1. The upcoming renewal is switched off; nothing is charged again.
2. Premium stays active until the period you already paid for ends.
3. The account then reverts to the free tier, with the feed and the two free episodes still available.
4. Remaining tokens do not survive the cancellation under the terms, and they do not carry over if you subscribe again with the same account later.

One inconsistency deserves a flag. The help center suggests a token balance is retained after cancelling, while the terms say the opposite. Until the operator aligns the two documents, the cautious move is to spend the balance before you cancel.

Refund rules: one day, card only, strings attached

Because the two sites share a checkout, two sets of terms apply and they do not phrase things identically. The CandyShorts terms treat purchases as non-refundable in general, allowing a discretionary refund inside 24 hours of paying by card, provided no paid media was streamed or accessed. The Candy.ai terms describe the same 24-hour, card-only window but disqualify anyone who has spent more than 20 tokens. Accounts restricted for breaking the rules receive nothing, and a chargeback through your bank terminates the plan immediately.

Consumers in the EU and UK have an additional right: a 14-day withdrawal period on the initial purchase, reduced pro rata for whatever was consumed, and not applicable to renewals. Everyone else should treat the first 24 hours as the only exit.

Payment methods, and how Candy AI appears on a bank statement

Accepted methods, per the help center, are credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, cryptocurrency, and bank transfer via Volt or Pix, with availability varying by country. The privacy policy names the processors that handle the money: Emerchantpay, TrustPay, Volt, Coingate and UpGate. On a card statement the line reads EverAI, the legal name of the Malta-registered operator (company number C107181), not Candy AI or CandyShorts. If an EverAI charge looks unfamiliar, check your subscription status before disputing it, since a chargeback cancels the plan and forfeits remaining tokens. Our guide on whether Candy AI is safe goes deeper into payment security and data handling.

Is there a Candy AI promo code or free trial?

The biggest discounts are already in the price list: 70% on the annual plan and 35% on the quarterly one. Candy.ai does attach a trial period to some Premium offers, but no trial unlocks complete Shorts series; without paying, episodes one and two of every non-Spicy title are the ceiling. Pages advertising deeper Candy AI promo codes deserve suspicion, because the same operations tend to run fake video players and card-harvesting forms, a pattern we dissect in our guide to Candy AI leaks and scam pages. Enter payment details only on candy.ai or candyshorts.com.

How to delete a Candy AI account

Cancelling a plan and deleting an account are separate steps. The privacy policy points to a Danger Zone inside Settings for deletion, or you can write to the privacy team at the address given in the policy. Cancel the subscription first so that no renewal is pending, and be aware that the policy sets retention periods measured in years for account and financial records; our safety guide lists them.

Is Candy AI Premium worth paying for?

Set against other adult subscription services, the annual rate is low, and the two free episodes give you a genuine preview before any money changes hands; the paid episodes are rated explicit, as our guide on whether Candy AI is porn spells out. Our reservation is structural rather than about the amount: the real cost is divided between a plan and a token balance, so a newcomer inside the app can pay more than the advertised figure for episodes that candyshorts.com unlocks for the flat fee.

Our reading of the price list: the annual plan is the only one that earns its headline number, and the token layer is the only reason that headline number can mislead.

A sensible sequence is free account first, monthly plan if the format holds you, annual only once you know you will still be watching in six months. Read the refund clause before the first charge: outside the EU and UK, the window is a single day. The official checkout is at candy.ai.
