Candy Shorts carries two price tags at once. One is the subscription, charged in dollars. The other is a token price stuck on every locked episode. Quote one without the other and the picture is wrong, so this page puts both side by side and then works out what a whole series costs, start to finish.
All plan prices and token rates here come from Candy.ai’s plan page and from the catalog itself, as we captured them on October 28, 2026. Adult subscription prices drift, and the free-episode rule shifted more than once during October, so if the checkout ever shows a different figure, trust the checkout over us.
Candy Shorts price: which three plans can you buy?
Candy.ai’s plan page has no separate Candy Shorts plan. Candy Shorts is the vertical-video feed inside Candy.ai, the platform run by EverAI Limited in Malta, and it unlocks with Candy.ai’s Premium plan. That plan comes in three billing terms, and the plan page shows no other cards.
| Plan | What you pay | Works out at | Badge on the page |
|---|---|---|---|
| One month | $13.99 (first month $9.99) | $13.99 a month at the renewal price | 29% OFF on the first month |
| Three months | $26.97 per quarter | $8.99 a month | 35% OFF |
| Twelve months | $47.88 per year | $3.99 a month | 70% OFF, BEST VALUE |
Pay attention to the third column. The monthly figures for the two longer plans are the term price spread across its months, and no month ever brings a $3.99 charge. What actually leaves your account is one payment of $26.97 or $47.88 when the term starts. The small print under each plan card says this itself, using the words “billed as”, and that single payment is the number to budget for.
Every percentage badge is measured against the full monthly price of $13.99. The quarterly and annual cards print that full price next to their own rate, which is how the yearly plan earns its big discount label: it is the same Premium access, paid a year in advance at a far lower rate per month.
What does each plan add up to over twelve months?
Per-month prices flatter the long plans and hide the true gap. A full year is the fairer yardstick, since twelve months is the term of the plan with the lowest monthly rate and the stretch most people end up comparing.
| Plan | Term price | Twelve months of it | Extra vs the annual plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| One month | $13.99 (first month $9.99) | $163.88 (twelve monthly charges) | $116.00 |
| Three months | $26.97 | $107.88 (four quarterly charges) | $60.00 |
| Twelve months | $47.88 | $47.88 (one charge) | None, this is the yardstick |
These totals are computed from the current plan prices, so they move whenever the plan page does. The monthly line adds up a first year of charges at $13.99 (first month $9.99), and the last column is what a shorter term costs you over the same twelve months.
Where the lines cross. Paid month by month, the running total passes the annual plan’s single $47.88 charge in month four. The quarterly term never catches up: over a year it still costs $60.00 more than the annual plan, so it mainly suits someone who wants a single quarter of access and is sure of it.
The catch on the other side. The annual plan is the cheapest choice only if you are still watching when month four arrives. Lose interest after a few weeks and the monthly plan would have cost you less than the single $47.88 payment.
How many tokens does a paid episode cost: 12 or 30?
The subscription is only half of the bill. Each episode after the free ones has its own token price, and the catalog runs on two rates plus one blank spot:
- 12 tokens per paid episode on standard series. That rate applies to 158 of the 190 series, which is every priced series under the Candy characters and Other characters tabs.
- 30 tokens for each locked episode in the Candy Creators tab, wherever a price appears. 15 series fall into this group, and each one borrows a real adult performer’s likeness under license.
- No visible price on the 17 sign-up-only series. Someone browsing without an account sees neither their episodes nor a token cost, so we cannot say what they charge.
The higher rate belongs to the Candy Creators roster of licensed performers. That tab holds 21 series built on six credited names: Riley Reid on seven, Mia Malkova on four, Bonnie Blue and Lexi Luna on three each, and Asa Akira and Sophie Dee on two each. Each performer licensed a digital twin. They agreed to the use of their likeness, they did not shoot anything, and there is no original recording behind any episode. Outside that tab, every priced series charges 12.
The difference adds up quickly. A five-episode Candy Creators series costs 90 tokens to finish; a standard series of the same length costs 36.
Do you need to buy tokens on top of a subscription?
Not as a separate purchase, as long as you stay inside the allowance. Premium hands you 100 tokens every month, and those are what you spend on locked episodes. You are also not buying two subscriptions: the one Premium plan covers Candy.ai and Candy Shorts together.
Here is how far a single month of tokens goes:
- 8 standard paid episodes at 12 tokens apiece
- 3 Candy Creators paid episodes at 30 tokens apiece
- a whole five-episode standard series for 36 of those 100 tokens
Go past that and you need more tokens than the plan supplies. Three things we could not verify matter at that point: what one token costs in dollars, whether tokens can be bought without a subscription, and what happens to tokens left unspent at the end of a month. For that reason this page gives no dollar price per episode. Such a figure would rest on a token price nobody has shown us.
How much of the catalog is behind the paywall?
Most of it. The catalog counts 190 series and 973 episodes. Of those episodes, 346 are free and 627 are locked behind tokens or Premium, and on top of that seventeen series show nothing until you register.
The format keeps each bill small. 161 of the series are five-episode stories, and the median series runs 5 episodes. A typical series puts episodes 1 and 2 in front of the paywall and charges for the rest, which on a five-episode story means 3 paid episodes.
Length is what drives the token bill. Here is what a handful of real series cost to finish at the current rates:
| Series | Episodes | Paid episodes | Tokens to finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taking Care of My Stepmom (standard) | 5 | 3 | 36 |
| Student Bodies (Candy Creators, Bonnie Blue) | 5 | 3 | 90 |
| Addicted to my stepdad | 10 | 8 | 96 |
| Mona’s Worst Enemy | 15 | 13 | 156 |
| Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right | 15 | 13 | 144 |
| My bestie betrayed me | 34 | 32 | 384 |
| YES MA’AM | 35 | 33 | 396 |
Set those totals against the 100 tokens a month of Premium supplies. A ten-episode story such as Addicted to my stepdad takes 96 of them, a standard fifteen-episode series 156, and the two longest runs, YES MA’AM and My bestie betrayed me, 396 and 384.
Look at the Simona Rossi row next to Mona’s Worst Enemy. Same length, smaller bill, because Simona’s third episode carries no token charge for Premium members. That episode is bundled with the subscription; it is not part of the free run, so a visitor without Premium cannot count it.
And the whole catalog? We cannot give one honest number, and we would rather say that than print a guess. Every one of the 627 paid episodes has its own rate, 12 tokens on standard series and 30 on Candy Creators series, a single Simona Rossi episode is bundled at no token charge, and the 17 sign-up-only series publish no price at all. Even the visible part adds up to many times what a full year of Premium tokens covers. Treat Premium as a way to finish the stories you care about, and use the full list of series with their episode counts to pick them.
What can you watch before paying anything?
More than you might expect. The rule at our latest check reads as follows. Episode 1 plays without any account, episode 2 is free once you open a free account (no card asked), and everything from episode 3 on is paid.
Across the catalog that adds up to 346 free episodes, and 173 of them play with no account at all. So you can sample episode 1 of every series that is open to browse, without an email address, and only then decide whether a five-episode story is worth 36 tokens to finish.
Two caveats apply. The 17 sign-up-only series offer no anonymous preview, because a logged-out visitor sees nothing there. And since the free allowance changed more than once in October, a series that behaves differently from this description probably means the platform has moved again. We keep the full rundown of the free episodes and how to reach them up to date.
Why does EverAI show up on your bank statement?
Because EverAI is the company that bills you. Candy.ai and Candy Shorts are operated by EverAI Limited, registered in Malta, and the card charge carries that name instead of either brand.
That surprises people. An unfamiliar company name on a statement looks like fraud at first glance, and someone who shares the card may ask what it is. If you, or a person using your card, signed up for Candy.ai, the EverAI line is that subscription. It is also the name to look for when you hunt for the subscription in a banking or card app.
If discretion matters to you, the plain descriptor is a small plus: it does not mention Candy at all. For the wider question of who runs the service and how much to trust it, read our check on whether Candy Shorts is safe to pay.
What does the money actually buy? The Premium list
Premium is a Candy.ai plan, and the video series are one part of it. The plan page lists what is included in these exact words:
- “Create your own AI Girlfriend(s)”
- “Generate 18+ Videos”
- “Generate 18+ Images”
- “Full Live Action Experience”
- “Unlimited text messages”
- “100 tokens per month”
Only the token line touches the series directly. The rest is the chat and generation side of Candy.ai: building a companion, generating explicit pictures and clips, messaging without a cap. If you came purely for the series, you are buying a bundle and using one slice of it. If you enjoy the character chat that opens the moment an episode ends, the bundle makes more sense, because that hand-off is the core of how the product is designed.
As for the series: they are for adults only, uncensored, and sexually explicit in most cases. AI generates every frame, no camera is involved, and every character is a fictional adult. The catalog is open about its themes, led by Taboo on 73 series, Milf on 51, Wife on 34 and Stepmom on 29, while 33 series carry no tag. Episodes last roughly one to two minutes, and subtitles come in up to seven languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese), depending on the series.

What are the reasons not to pay?
We may earn a commission when someone subscribes through a link on this site. That is precisely why the case against paying gets its own section.
A cheap year only pays off if you use the year. Most of the annual discount rewards paying in advance. If the novelty fades before month four, monthly billing would have cost less than one $47.88 charge. When in doubt, a single month (first month $9.99) is the fair trial.
The token allowance is thin. 100 tokens a month covers 8 standard paid episodes or 3 Candy Creators ones. A standard fifteen-episode series needs 156 tokens, so Premium is not an all-you-can-watch pass, and a heavy viewer will hit the ceiling early in the month.
Each paid episode is brief. Episodes run roughly one to two minutes. At 12 tokens a time you are paying for short scenes, not long-form content.
The free tier may answer the question. 346 free episodes (episode 1 with no account, episode 2 with a free account) are enough to judge the format and the cast without spending anything.
You are partly buying a chat funnel. Every episode ends by handing you to a character chat. If that does not appeal, a large share of the Premium list is of no use to you.
There is no official shortcut. If you were hoping to skip the bill with a reupload, Candy Shorts posts nothing officially on Dailymotion, Telegram or Reddit. We cover the question of leaked episodes and what you will and will not find on Dailymotion separately.
How do you stop paying?
By canceling the plan before it renews. The billing lines on Candy.ai’s plan page say “Cancel any time”, and the monthly plan states that it renews each month at $13.99. We have not verified any refund terms, so we will not promise you one.
Two habits protect your money. Put the renewal date in your calendar on the day you subscribe, and treat every plan as renewing until you cancel it; the plan page says so outright for the monthly term. And when you look for the subscription in a bank or card app, search for EverAI rather than Candy.
What we could confirm about the process, and what we could not, is set out in our guide to canceling Candy Shorts. We do not invent menu names or click paths for an account area we cannot inspect on your behalf.
How did we check these prices?
We read the three plan cards, and the billing lines printed under them, straight from Candy.ai’s plan page. Catalog counts and the token price of each episode came from the Candy Shorts catalog itself. Both were captured on October 28, 2026, and the plan prices did not move between our last two captures.
Some things we could not confirm, and we left them out rather than estimate: the dollar value of a token, whether tokens are sold without a subscription, whether unused tokens carry over, the prices of the 17 sign-up-only series, and any refund terms. The billing text on the plan page also contains wording for weekly and two-week payment terms, but no plan card offered either one when we looked, so we do not list them as options.
The figures on this page are tied to our latest check, and the stamp in the answer box shows when that was. If you want to know who does the checking and why, see who writes this guide and how we work.
What do people call it when they search the price?
The same product turns up as candyshorts, candy shorts, candy ai shorts, candy.ai shorts and candy shorts ai. Every spelling leads to one catalog sold through one Candy.ai Premium plan, so no version of the name hides a cheaper tier. The series can also be reached at candyshorts.com and at candy.ai/candy-shorts, and both show the same catalog.
Still deciding whether it deserves any money at all? Our full Candy AI Shorts review weighs that up, and the main candy-shorts.run guide starts from the basics.
