Free vs Premium: what each gives you on Candy Shorts

What free gives you

Episode 1 of every series with a free episode plays logged out after an age confirmation. Episode 2 plays once you have a free Candy AI account, which asks for an email address and the same confirmation. You also get the Shorts feed, the previews, saved progress across devices and a small daily chat allowance. No card, no trial clock, no device limit.

What Premium gives you

Premium unlocks every episode of every Shorts series in the catalogue, all 36 on this site and any Candy AI adds. According to Candy AI it also removes the chat message limit and adds picture generation with the characters. It is one subscription for the whole platform; there is no Shorts only tier.

Tokens or subscription: when each makes sense

Tokens suit you if you want to finish one or two series and nothing else. A standard five episode series with two free episodes costs 36 tokens to complete; a 30 token series costs 90. You pay once and there is nothing to cancel.

Premium suits you if you intend to watch several series, want the 30 episode run, or will use the chat and picture side of Candy AI as well. The 12 month plan is the cheapest per month and the biggest commitment; the monthly plan is the easiest to leave and the dearest after the first month.

Cancelling Premium

Cancelling does not delete your account or your free episodes. Deleting the account is a separate step, described in the free account guide.

1. 1
   Log into Candy AI and open your profile settings.
2. 2
   Find the subscription or billing section and choose cancel.
3. 3
   Confirm. Premium stays active until the end of the term you have paid for, then stops without a further charge.
4. 4
   If you paid through Apple or Google, cancel in that store's subscription settings instead.
