What every premium plan includes
- Unlimited text messages
- 100 tokens per month
- Create your own AI girlfriend(s)
- Image and video generation
- Full "Live Action" experience
The plans differ in billing length, not in features. A longer commitment simply lowers the monthly price.
How tokens work
Text chat is unlimited on premium. Media is not: images, voice and video are paid with tokens. Candy AI also notes that more detailed custom companions use more tokens. Your 100 monthly tokens are included with the plan, and you can buy extra tokens at any time. Token costs per feature are shown in the app and can change, so we don't list them as fixed numbers here.
The real monthly cost
In public user discussions, the most common pricing complaint is that heavy media users spend well above the plan price because they buy extra tokens. Light users who mainly chat by text often stay at the plan price. In practice:
| How you use it | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Mostly text chat | Plan price only; unlimited messages are included |
| Text plus occasional images or voice | Plan price; the monthly 100 tokens may be enough |
| Frequent images, voice calls or video | Plan price plus token top-ups; set a budget |
Which plan should you choose?
- Not sure yet? Start with the free account, then the monthly plan. Note that it renews at $13.99.
- Using it most weeks? The 3-month plan is a middle ground.
- Know you'll stay? The 12-month plan has the lowest monthly price, but you pay $47.88 upfront.
How to save money on Candy AI
- Use unlimited text chat as your main way to interact.
- Save tokens for the images or voice notes that matter to you.
- Avoid impulse top-ups. Decide on a monthly limit first.
- Set a reminder before your renewal date.
- Only pay through the official candy.ai checkout.

Candy AI pricing compared with similar platforms
To put the numbers in context, here are the public prices of two well-known platforms on the same date. Remember that included credits work differently on each service, so compare by how you will actually use them:
| Platform | Cheapest plan | Monthly plan | Included media credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candy AI | $3.99/mo ($47.88/yr) | $9.99 first month, then $13.99 | 100 tokens / month |
| OurDream AI | $9.99/mo ($119.88/yr) | $19.99 | 1,000 dreamcoins / month |
| Character.AI (c.ai+) | $94.99/yr | $9.99 | Text-focused platform |
Candy AI has the lowest entry price of the three for an AI girlfriend experience with images. OurDream includes a bigger credit allowance at a higher price. Character.AI is cheaper than both if you only need text chat, but it is not an adult companion platform. Read Candy AI vs OurDream AI and Character AI alternatives for the full picture.
Cancelling and renewals
Candy AI subscriptions can be cancelled from your account settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal, so it's best to do it a few days before your renewal date if you don't want to continue. Users in public discussions mention that retention offers may appear during cancellation. That's common practice, but read each screen carefully until you see the cancellation confirmation.
