Finish Room 742: 3 episodes × 12 tokens = 36 tokens, and one month of Premium hands you 100. That single line is the whole Candy Shorts price system, and the rest of this guide fills in the numbers around it. I priced each plan and each kind of series so you can spend the way you would at the ticket booth: knowing the cost of the ride before you get in line.
Candy AI pricing 2026: the three Premium plans
How much is Candy AI? It depends on how long you commit, and the plans page showed three options on October 26, 2026. The same Premium plan, with the same 100 tokens a month, costs between $3.99 and $13.99 per month. Here is the full list.
| Plan | Monthly price | Billed as | Discount label |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Months | $3.99 | $47.88 once a year | 70% OFF, marked BEST VALUE |
| 3 Months | $8.99 | $26.97 each quarter | 35% OFF |
| 1 Month | $13.99 after the first month | $9.99 for month one, then $13.99 | 29% OFF |
Renewal is automatic, with the same price and length you started on, and settings has a cancel option you can use whenever you like. Premium includes 100 tokens per month, messaging without a cap and 18+ video and image generation. No free trial was listed, and the free account guide covers what the free login does instead.
What 100 tokens finish: the token math
Candy AI tokens are the coins inside the machine. Most paid episodes cost 12 tokens, and 14 of the open series charge 30, so the Candy Shorts price per episode changes by title. The monthly allowance of 100 tokens turns into eight 12-token episodes or three 30-token ones.
| Series | Paid episodes × price | Tokens to finish | Months of 100 tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room 742 | 3 × 12 | 36 | 0.4 |
| Private Lessons | 3 × 30 | 90 | 0.9 |
| Professor Mia, Spicy, October 26 | 3 × 50 | 150 | 1.5 |
| Tori's broken vows, Spicy | 8 × 30 | 240 | 2.4 |
| YES MA'AM | 28 × 12 | 336 | 3.4 |
Those numbers answer the token limit question for Candy AI Shorts: the cap is the monthly 100, so the longest series need several months of allowance. The Spicy series also ask for Premium itself, since episodes 1 and 2 cost 0 tokens only for subscribers. The 100 monthly tokens are good on any series, Spicy included.
Is Candy AI worth it? Is Candy Shorts worth the money?
Worth it depends on how many series you finish. A subscription is cheap if you actually spend the tokens and pointless if you stop at the free pair. Treat each 36-token series as one unit and divide the plan price by the two you can finish in a month, and the cost per finished series looks like this.
- 12 Months at $3.99 a month: about $2.00 per series.
- 3 Months at $8.99 a month: about $4.50 per series.
- 1 Month at $9.99 for the first month: about $5.00 per series.
- 1 Month at $13.99 from the second month: about $7.00 per series.
If you finish two series a month, the 12-month plan is the arcade pass, and the monthly plan is paying per game. If you finish one series in two months, none of these plans pays off, and the free pair is the better deal. I would only pay for the first month of Premium once a series has passed the episode 2 test. For the platform beyond the Shorts, the Candy AI review weighs the rest.
Start with two free episodes
Most Candy Shorts series play episodes 1 and 2 on a free login. Pay in tokens only if you want the rest.

A Candy AI promo code is the first thing many people hunt for, so here is what I can show you with a date on it. The savings printed on October 26, 2026 were percentages on the plan cards: a 70% OFF tag on the 12-month card, 35% OFF on the quarterly one, and 29% OFF on the single month. They shave the plan price, not the episodes.
A Candy Shorts discount code is not something I can document, so I do not list one. Treat any page that sells you a code with caution, and read the leak guide before you click anything that promises free tokens. The numbers on the plan cards are the discounts that exist in what I checked.
How to cancel a Candy AI subscription
The plans page says you can cancel at any time in settings, and that a plan rolls over on its own at the price and length you started with. So the cancel step belongs before your renewal date, not after it. That is how to cancel Candy AI without paying for another cycle: open your settings, find the subscription option and cancel it there.
A Candy AI refund follows the terms of Candy.ai, so read them before you buy. For the charge itself, the safety check explains how it shows on a statement.
My call on the money
Spend zero until episode 2 has done its job. If episode 2 leaves you flat, the free pair has already paid out, and the plan can stay in the store. If it hooked you, 36 tokens finishes a standard series, and one Premium month covers two.
I would pick the 12-month plan only if I knew I would finish at least two series a month for a year, because $47.88 up front is a real commitment. Otherwise the first month at $9.99 is the cheap way to find out. I hold Premium myself, and when I paid to continue a series the balance moved by exactly the price on the page. And skip the 336-token marathons until you have finished a short run and liked it. Prices change, so check the plan cards before you pay.
