Guides for Candy.ai

All guides

Pros

  • Over 100 prebuilt characters in realistic and anime styles, plus a detailed character builder
  • Image generation, image-to-video clips, voice messages and voice calls in one place
  • Low effective price on the 12-month plan (3.99 per month, billed 47.88 per year)
  • Neutral 'EverAI' billing descriptor, with crypto, Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted
  • Detailed public help center covering tokens, refunds, cancellation and account deletion

Cons

  • Very limited free tier: 5 messages in total, one custom character and one image
  • Premium includes only 100 tokens per month, so media-heavy use needs paid token packs
  • No native iOS or Android app; mobile access is through the browser or a PWA
  • Refunds only within 24 hours, for card payments, and only if 20 or fewer tokens were used
  • Terms and privacy notice allow chat content to be used for AI model training

What users say elsewhere

Ratings and recurring themes from other sites, checked 25 Sep 2026. They are not part of our score.

Praised for

  • Images and videos look more polished than on most rival sites, and many users say the visuals are the main draw.
  • There are lots of premade characters, plus options to build and customize your own.
  • Several users rate the chat and roleplay as good, especially in the first weeks of use.

Common complaints

  • Images and videos cost extra coins on top of the subscription, and chats push paid content offers, so the total cost adds up.
  • Conversations turn repetitive and shallow over time, memory is limited, and some paying users say quality dropped in 2026.
  • Content limits feel inconsistent: some users hit sudden refusals of NSFW content, and reply length has been cut back.

What Candy.ai is

Candy.ai is a web-based AI companion platform operated by EverAI Limited, a company registered in Malta. Users chat with a catalog of more than 100 prebuilt characters in realistic and anime styles, or design their own companion with a builder that sets appearance, personality, voice and hobbies. Paid accounts can also generate images and short videos of characters, receive voice messages and use voice calls, which the help center lists as beta.

Access is subscription based. Free accounts are limited to 5 messages in total, one custom character and one image. Premium removes the message cap and adds 100 tokens per month, which pay for images, voice, video and extra content packs; more tokens are sold in packs. A Premium Plus tier adds more monthly tokens, user personas and memory slots.

The service suits users who want visual media alongside chat and are comfortable budgeting for tokens. Notable limits: there is no native mobile app (a PWA is offered instead), refunds are limited to 24 hours, and the terms allow chat content to be used for AI model training.

Why this score. Chat quality 6: 2026 reviews describe adaptive but sometimes repetitive dialogue, with story details fading after a few days. Characters 7: 100+ curated characters in two styles and a deep builder, but no trans presets. Features 8: images, image-to-video, voice messages, beta voice calls, Live Action and personas. Value 6: cheap annual plan, but 100 monthly tokens run out quickly and packs add cost. Privacy 5: discreet descriptor and crypto payments, offset by training use of content, possible human review and multi-year retention. UX 7: polished web app with PWA install, no native apps.

What we could not verify

  • Premium Plus price (not shown on the public pricing page).
  • Official token pack prices and per-action token costs: the token store requires login, so these figures come from 2026 reviews.
  • Currency by region: the official pricing page served EUR to an EU visitor (13.99, 8.99, 3.99), and a September 2026 US review lists the same figures in USD.
  • The checkout area also showed weekly (5.60 EUR) and bi-weekly (9.79 EUR) billing amounts; which regions or payment methods they apply to is unclear.
  • Token treatment after cancellation: the terms (22 September 2026) say unused tokens expire, while an August 2026 help article says the balance is kept.
  • Founding year.
  • Underlying language and image models: the terms reference the CreativeML Open RAIL++-M and Apache 2.0 licenses but name no models.
  • Whether group chat exists (mentioned only in an on-site testimonial).
  • Whether a public library of user-created characters exists.
