Candy AI review (October 2026)
Candy AI is one of the biggest adult AI companion platforms. We focus on its Candy Shorts library, but here is the whole picture: features, prices, safety and who it is for.
Candy AI is worth it for adults who want one subscription for AI chat, 18+ image and video generation, and short AI series. The free tier is usable, and Premium is cheap on the annual plan ($3.99/month with 100 tokens included). Billing is discreet (“EverAI”).
What Candy AI does
Candy AI is an adult AI companion app that runs in your browser. It has four parts, all behind one account and one Premium membership:
- AI characters to chat with: a large cast of ready-made AI girlfriends and boyfriends, with realistic and anime styles.
- Create your own character: design a companion’s look and personality from scratch.
- 18+ image and video generation of the characters, on demand.
- Candy Shorts: 119 short AI-generated adult series, ~1:07 per episode, with the first two episodes of each free. Our Candy Shorts review.

Shorts is the newest and most distinctive part of the app. Each series is a short vertical story with an AI lead, and when it ends you can jump into a chat with that character. Premium episodes cost 12 tokens (30 for Digital Twin series with licensed AI versions of creators like Riley Reid), so the 100 monthly tokens cover about two series a month. Our full catalog has a score and episode guide for every series.
