The subscriptions page labels the 12-month plan "70% OFF" and the 3-month plan "35% OFF", measured against the month-to-month price. Some countries also see billing every 2 weeks or every week, and the currency and local taxes depend on where you are, so the checkout price can differ from ours. Every plan renews automatically at the same price and term, and subscriptions cannot be paused.
How Candy AI tokens work
| Message | 0 for subscribers (unlimited chat); free users get 5 messages in total |
|---|---|
| Notes | Tokens pay for images, custom AIs, voice messages, voice calls (beta), My Private Content packs and image-to-video. Candy Roulette costs 5 tokens a minute; exclusive characters unlock for a set number (example given: 200 tokens). Per-image and per-video token prices are not published. Help centre values 200 tokens at $20. Extra tokens are sold at candy.ai/tokens (login required). |
Tokens pay for pictures, voice messages, voice calls (listed as a beta), extra characters, private content packs and image-to-video. The only fixed prices Candy publishes are Candy Roulette at 5 tokens a minute and an example exclusive character at 200 tokens; per-picture and per-video costs appear inside the app. Its help center values 200 tokens at about 20 US dollars, which gives a rough sense of what a top-up costs.
Yearly subscribers are billed once but still get 100 tokens each month on their subscription day. Our guide to AI girlfriend tokens explains why a token plan can cost more than the headline price.
Yearly vs monthly, and the refund rule
The 12-month plan brings Premium to $3.99 a month, against $13.99 month to month, which makes it one of the lowest yearly prices in our data (the median cheapest plan across the apps we track is $7.75). The whole $47.88 is charged on day one.
That matters because of the refund rule. Candy refunds only within 24 hours of payment, only if you have used 20 tokens or fewer, and only for card payments. UK and EU users can withdraw within 14 days of a first purchase, minus a prorated amount for what they used. So the yearly plan is not something to try: pay for a month, and switch once you know you will stay. Our guide to canceling Candy AI covers refunds in detail.
Discounts, coupons and promo codes
Candy AI publishes no coupon or promo code, and we know of no working one. Its real discounts are on the page itself: the 12-month and 3-month billing lengths, and the referral scheme, which gives you and a friend 200 tokens each when the friend subscribes. Pages that promise "unlimited tokens" or a secret code send you to the normal checkout or to unofficial downloads.
You can pay by credit or debit card, crypto, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer (Volt or Pix in some countries). The charge shows as EverAI on your statement. See our list of apps with discreet billing.

On the yearly price, Candy AI undercuts Secrets AI ($9.17) and OurDream ($9.99), and only Selira AI ($3.60) comes in lower among these four. The difference is what is included: OurDream gives 1,000 coins a month and live calls, Secrets AI 8,000 Moments. Candy AI vs OurDream and Candy AI vs Selira AI weigh the full trade-offs, and our Candy AI review covers the features.
