What is Candy Shorts?
Candy Shorts is the series section of Candy.ai, the AI companion service operated by EverAI Limited of Malta. Each series is a scripted story told in short vertical video episodes with AI-generated characters. Of the 173 catalog series covered here, 161 run exactly five episodes. The longest has 34.
The official blurbs read like soap-opera teasers: a secret affair on a holiday trip, a wedding weekend that goes wrong, a royal court with a forbidden romance. Tags in the library include Wife, Stepmom, Maid, Teacher, Fantasy and Taboo. Candy.ai is an adults-only service, and its Underage Policy says visitors meet an age gate and must confirm they are over 18.
Premium episodes are explicit and for adults only. This page does not describe them. It covers how access works, what each series costs and what to check before you pay.
Series play in a vertical 9:16 player with speed and subtitle controls. The subtitle menu lists English, French, German, Spanish and other languages. Candy Shorts is separate from the on-demand video tool, which is covered in our Candy AI video studio guide.
Two short guides answer the questions most people search first: how to watch Candy Shorts free and what the uncensored episodes show and cost.
How does Candy Shorts access work?
The rule was the same on almost every series page we checked. You can watch the first episode with no account, a free account opens the second, and from episode 3 each episode costs tokens and needs Premium.
| Episode | What you need | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nothing, no account | Free |
| 2 | A free Candy.ai account | Free |
| 3 and later | Account and a Premium plan | 12 tokens per episode in 158 series, 30 tokens in 15 series |
One series, Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right, gives a third free episode. Candy can change a series at any time, so read the lock and price on the series page before you pay.
How much does Candy Shorts cost?
Candy Shorts has no price of its own. You pay for a Candy Premium plan and then spend tokens on each locked episode. Premium includes 100 tokens a month. These are the US prices on Candy’s plan page.
| Plan | Price | Billed |
|---|---|---|
| 12 months | $3.99 a month (shown as 70% off) | $47.88 once a year, renews at the same price |
| 3 months | $8.99 a month (shown as 35% off) | $26.97 every three months |
| 1 month | $9.99 for the first month, then $13.99 a month | Monthly |
| Short options at checkout | Every two weeks or weekly | $9.79 or $5.60 per payment |
The $3.99 figure is the 12-month price divided by 12, so you pay $47.88 up front. Every plan lists unlimited text messages, 18+ videos and images, and 100 tokens a month, with cancellation in settings. Prices vary by country and local taxes may apply. Our page on Candy AI Premium prices and token costs covers cancellation and refunds.
How many tokens does a series cost?
Locked episodes cost 12 tokens in most series and 30 tokens in the rest. Because you only pay for episodes 3 and later, a five-episode series needs 36 or 90 tokens.
| What you open | Locked episodes | Tokens | Against 100 tokens a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rest of a five-episode series at 12 tokens (133 series) | 3 | 36 | Two series fit (72 tokens) |
| Rest of a five-episode series at 30 tokens (15 series) | 3 | 90 | One series fits, 10 tokens left |
| Longest series, YES MA’AM (30 episodes) | 28 | 336 | About three and a half months of allowance |
If you only want one or two regular series, the one-month plan is the cheap route. Its $9.99 first month includes 100 tokens, enough for two regular five-episode series, and you can cancel before the $13.99 renewal. Every locked episode in the 173 catalog series adds up to 8,262 tokens, so nobody finishes the catalog on the monthly allowance.
Extra tokens are sold inside your account and we could not read their prices on a public page. Some third-party guides quote about $9.99 for 100 tokens. We have not confirmed that on a Candy page.
Is Candy Shorts legit and worth it?
Candy Shorts is an official part of Candy.ai, not a copy. Candy’s Terms of Service name EverAI Limited as owner and operator, and the plan page says charges show as EverAI on your bank statement. Our Candy AI review looks at the company, privacy and user complaints.
Whether it is worth paying for depends on how many series you want. This page does not rate the writing or acting. It is built from Candy’s catalog, plan and policy pages, which is why the pros and cons below are about access and cost.
Pros
- Every series has free episodes: 347 of the 968 episodes listed here cost nothing.
- Most series are short. 161 of 173 have five episodes, so finishing one costs 36 tokens.
- The first month of Premium is $9.99, and plans cancel in settings.
- Each series page shows its lock and token price before you pay.
Cons
- There is no free route past episode 2: you need Premium plus tokens.
- 15 series cost 30 tokens per episode, so a five-episode series needs 90 tokens.
- Unused tokens expire when a subscription ends, and refunds are limited to 24 hours after payment with 20 tokens or fewer used.
- Candy’s terms allow personal, non-commercial use only, so you cannot repost episodes.
Why watch the free episodes first?
The free episodes are the only part of Candy Shorts you can judge before paying. In a five-episode series they cover two episodes, or 40% of the story. Use them to check the premise, the pace and whether you want the ending enough to pay for it.
- Pick a series. Use the table further down and open the series page on Candy.ai.
- Play episode 1. It needs no account.
- Sign up for a free account if you want episode 2.
- Check the token price on episode 3. It is 12 or 30 tokens.
- Subscribe only to finish. Take the one-month plan for one or two series, and the 12-month plan only if you will also use the rest of Candy.
- Set a reminder to cancel before the renewal date.
Open the official catalog and start with the free episodes.
Watch free episodes on CandyWhat are Candy’s content rules?
Candy’s Blocked Content Policy applies to everything generated on the platform. It lists these rules:
- Zero tolerance for content resembling minors.
- No deceptive or harmful impersonation of real people, public figures or celebrities.
- Zero tolerance for non-consensual intimate imagery and deepfakes of real people.
- No illegal content, hate speech or content that promotes violence or self-harm.
Several series name a real performer. Candy’s Content Removal Policy says any resemblance to a real person is unintentional, except where a known person has given explicit consent and usage rights for a digital version of themselves. We have not seen the licensing terms for individual series.
What other guides get wrong. Other guides count 114 to 119 series. Candy’s catalog lists 173 today. Some guides also say both free episodes play without an account. On the series pages we checked, episode 2 asks for a free account.
All Candy Shorts series
All 180 series covered here are listed A to Z, including the 7 that are no longer in Candy’s public catalog. Each name links to our page for that series. Free episodes are the ones you can play without paying, and the token column is the price of each locked episode.
FAQ
Can I watch Candy Shorts for free?
Partly. Episode 1 of each series plays without an account and episode 2 is free once you sign up for a free Candy.ai account. Across the 173 catalog series listed on this page that is 347 free episodes out of 968. From episode 3 you need a Premium plan and tokens. One series, Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right, gives three free episodes.
Are there leaked full episodes?
No legitimate ones. The only free full episodes are the official free ones on Candy.ai. Candy’s terms allow personal, non-commercial use only, so reposting paid episodes is outside them, and pages that promise leaked or free full episodes are not official. We do not link to any and recommend you avoid them.
How many tokens does a Candy Shorts episode cost?
Locked episodes cost 12 tokens in 158 of the 173 catalog series listed here and 30 tokens in the other 15. Finishing a five-episode series therefore takes 36 or 90 tokens. Premium includes 100 tokens a month.
Do I need Premium to watch Candy Shorts?
Not for episodes 1 and 2. For episode 3 and later you need an account, a Premium plan and enough tokens. Premium starts at $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, billed $47.88 once, with a $9.99 first month on the one-month plan.
Is Candy Shorts legit?
Yes, it is an official section of Candy.ai, which is owned and operated by EverAI Limited of Malta according to its Terms of Service. The main risks are cost and content: tokens add to the plan price, and premium episodes are explicit and for adults only.
How do I stop paying after I watch a series?
Candy’s terms say you can cancel in your account settings. Your plan then stays active until the end of the billing period and you are not charged for the next one. Unused tokens expire when the paid period ends. Cancel before the renewal date if you only wanted one series.
