Free viewing on Candy AI Shorts
These free episodes are real, full-quality instalments rather than trailers, and they cut off right before the explicit part. Two come free with every series, while Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right hands out three. Counted together, that is 235 free episodes out of 672 listed, about a third of everything on offer. To find out how a story ends, though, you’ll need tokens for the rest.
Locked episodes: the price per unlock
Candy uses just two price points. A licensed-performer series asks 30 tokens for each locked episode; a standard one asks 12. Beyond that, series differ mainly in how many episodes are locked.
| Type of series | Tokens for each locked episode | Free + locked episodes | Total tokens to finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard, 5 episodes | 12 | 2 + 3 | 36 |
| Licensed performer, 5 episodes | 30 | 2 + 3 | 90 |
| 9 episodes | 12 | 2 + 7 | 84 |
| 15 episodes | 12 | 2 + 13 | 156 |
| 34 episodes | 12 | 2 + 32 | 384 |
The eleven longer series stretch from 48 up to 384 tokens, and seven series come in at 90. Everything else, 99 series and the lion’s share of the catalogue, sits in the top row at 36 tokens apiece.
Getting tokens through a Candy plan
A paid Candy subscription is the source of your tokens. No matter which length you go for, each month it covers drops 100 tokens into your account. Only the billing rhythm changes, and with it what you pay per month:
| Plan length | Monthly equivalent | What you’re billed |
|---|---|---|
| 12 months | $3.99 | $47.88 billed once a year |
| 3 months | $8.99 | $26.97 billed every three months |
| 1 month | $13.99 | $13.99 billed monthly |
Candy changes its deals occasionally, so give the checkout page a quick look before you commit. The figures above are the ones we saw in September 2026.
Series prices converted to dollars
Want the dollar value of a single token? Take a plan’s monthly price and split it over 100 tokens. With that number in hand, pricing any series is child’s play:
| Plan | One token | One standard episode | Full standard five-parter | Full performer series |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly, $13.99 | around 14¢ | around $1.68 | around $5.04 | around $12.60 |
| Quarterly, $8.99 monthly | around 9¢ | around $1.08 | around $3.24 | around $8.10 |
| Yearly, $3.99 monthly | around 4¢ | around $0.48 | around $1.44 | around $3.60 |
Same tokens, very different bills. Paying monthly, a performer series comes to about $12.60; on the yearly plan it drops to about $3.60, purely because of how you’re billed.
Why the billing cycle matters most over twelve months
Every option hands you an identical pile of tokens, yet the amount leaving your wallet swings enormously. That is why anyone who intends to keep watching should weigh the plans over twelve months.
| Billing option | Total for twelve months | Tokens you receive | Standard series you can finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twelve monthly payments | $167.88 | 1,200 | 33 |
| Four quarterly payments | $107.88 | 1,200 | 33 |
| One yearly payment | $47.88 | 1,200 | 33 |
Just four monthly payments already cost more than the yearly plan and its full year of tokens. Monthly billing only makes sense for a single month of sampling. Given the crazy level Candy has reached and the steady stream of new series, the yearly plan is our no-brainer.
Longer series: 6 to 34 episodes
Because each keeps the standard 12 tokens per locked episode, every extra episode pushes the total higher. These eleven series stretch past the usual five episodes and drain tokens the quickest:
| Series title | Episode count | Free episodes | Tokens to finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| My bestie betrayed me | 34 | 2 | 384 |
| YES MA’AM | 15 | 2 | 156 |
| Mona’s Worst Enemy | 15 | 2 | 156 |
| Caught Between Sisters | 15 | 2 | 156 |
| Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right | 15 | 3 | 144 |
| Your girlfriend’s younger sister | 10 | 2 | 96 |
| Addicted to my stepdad | 10 | 2 | 96 |
| The Man Next Door Knows | 9 | 2 | 84 |
| Isabella’s Revelation | 7 | 2 | 60 |
| Kiss My Enemy | 6 | 2 | 48 |
| Dad’s New Girlfriend | 6 | 2 | 48 |
At the extreme, My bestie betrayed me demands 384 tokens, almost four months of plan tokens, costing about $15.36 yearly or $53.76 monthly. A 15-episode series is gentler at 156 tokens: two months’ allowance with 44 remaining, which is about $6.24 billed yearly and about $21.84 billed monthly. We gladly spend our money on Candy for this much story, since it keeps handing us fresh series that fire up our curiosity.
Getting the most out of 100 tokens
- Two standard series eat 72 tokens, and the other 28 open two locked episodes of a third one.
- A single performer series eats 90, so 10 remain.
- Buying episodes one by one, 100 tokens get you eight standard locked episodes with 4 left.
Finish every series you begin, because stopping halfway means you’ve paid for a story with no ending. Better still, don’t unlock anything until you’ve seen both free episodes; that alone prevents most wasted tokens. When spending your first 100, our shortlist of the best series is the smartest place to begin.
