How Candy Shorts pricing works
Every Candy Shorts series on Candy AI is priced the same way, and the arithmetic is short. Episode 1 plays free in the browser with no account at all. Episode 2 is also free, once you have opened a free account. From episode 3 onwards each episode costs tokens, and the number depends on the series rather than on the episode.
12 tokens an episode is the standard, and on this board we call it par. Most series sit exactly on it. The adult-star series, where Candy AI's licensed digital twins of performers such as Riley Reid and Mia Malkova take the lead, charge 30 tokens an episode. A series on sale drops to about 10.2 tokens an episode, 15 percent off par.
Multiply the paid episodes by the price of one and you have the Candy Shorts cost of a whole series. A 5-episode series has 3 paid episodes, so 3 x 12 gives 36 tokens to finish. That single figure, the finish price, is what this site is built around, and the price table of all 39 series sorts by it.
Premium is the other route. It adds 100 tokens a month, and 9.99 USD buys the opening month: in pounds that's roughly £7.69. For all but one series, a single month covers the finish price with tokens to spare.
Reading a quote on this board
Each series page opens with a quote panel, the same four lines every time. Read them top to bottom and you know what the series costs before you read a word about the plot.
The quote is silent on whether a series is any good. Its job is narrower: what finishing it costs, a question we can answer exactly. The premise sits underneath each quote, kept to the set-up, for anyone who wants the story as well as the sum.
- Tokens to finish: the tokens needed for every paid episode after the 2 free ones. 36 for a standard 5-episode series, 90 for a star series, 336 for the longest.
- Change against 12 tokens: how far the price of an episode sits from par. 1.8 under on sale, 18 over on the star series, level on the rest.
- Premium route: the months of Premium that cover the finish price, and what Candy AI charges for them in USD.
- Pounds line: a rough conversion of that USD figure for UK readers, always after the word roughly, never on its own.

Eight series, eight quotes
Take My Wife's Best Friend as a worked example. 5 episodes, 2 free, 30 tokens for each of the other 3: a finish price of 90 tokens, 18 tokens over par an episode, and a Premium route of 1 month at 9.99 USD (in pounds that's roughly £7.69). Four lines, one decision.
The table below takes eight series from across the board, from the lowest finish price to the highest. It is a sample, not a ranking; the full cost-to-finish table has all 39, sortable by price, episodes or name. Free is 2 in every row. That column never moves, so the price is decided entirely in the last two.
Three groups stand out. I Won My Best Friend's Girlfriend, Dragon Queen's Dark Desire and Trapped Desires: Island Swap are on sale at 30.6 tokens. The Witch Who Made Me King is the plain par case at 36. Mia Malkova Is My Girlfriend's Step-Mom and My Wife's Best Friend are star series at 90. Then the long ones: Addicted to my stepdad at 96 and YES MA'AM at 336.

The cheapest series, and why they are cheap
30.6 tokens is the lowest finish price on the board today. Six series share it: I Won My Best Friend's Girlfriend, Dragon Queen's Dark Desire, Trapped Desires: Island Swap, Under Holly's Command, Newlywed Not Satisfied and Coco Bailey: Threeway Runway.
None of them is cheap by design. Each is a standard 12-token series on sale at 15 percent off, which brings a paid episode down to about 10.2 tokens and the finish price from 36 to 30.6. The saving is 5.4 tokens a series, just under half a paid episode at par. Useful if you were going to watch it anyway; not a reason to start one.
Sales come and go, so this list changes with them. The On sale board shows which series are discounted this week and what each cost before the cut, and we re-check it weekly. A series that drops off it simply goes back to 36 tokens.
If the lowest bill is the only test, the cheapest way to finish a series has the longer answer, set out series type by series type. The short version fits in a line: take the free opening first, and pay only once a series has earned it.

All series pricesThe dearest series on the board
336 tokens. YES MA'AM is the dearest series by a distance, and the reason is length rather than price: 30 episodes, 2 free, 28 paid at par. It needs 4 months of Premium to finish, 51.96 USD in total (in pounds that's roughly £40.01). It is the only series a single month does not cover.
Next come the series that charge more an episode. My Wife's Best Friend, Mia Malkova Is My Girlfriend's Step-Mom and My Girlfriend's Big Sister is Riley Reid run 5 episodes, like most of the board, but each paid episode costs 30 tokens. 3 paid episodes make 90 tokens to finish, two and a half times par.
Then the longer series at par. Addicted to my stepdad has 10 episodes and costs 96 tokens to finish. The Man Next Door Knows has 9 and costs 84. Isabella's Revelation has 7 and costs 60. Each stays under the 100 tokens a month of Premium adds, so one month at 9.99 USD still covers them.
Dear, on this board, only means a bigger number. Every series in this section except YES MA'AM still finishes inside one month of Premium, which is a smaller gap than the token figures suggest.
What costs nothing
Two episodes of every series, without exception. Episode 1 plays free on Candy AI, needs no sign-up, and runs from a desktop or mobile browser. Episode 2 is free too, once you have a free account. Across the 39 series that makes 78 free episodes before a single token changes hands.
Each series page on this site also carries a short silent preview cut from episode 1. It plays muted as it scrolls into view, so you can see the look of a series before you open it. The free episodes board lists what each free opening sets up, series by series, which is the cheapest research there is.
Where to watch matters here. Candy Shorts live on Candy AI and nowhere else, in its own Shorts area. There is no Candy Shorts app in the App Store or Google Play, and no official full episodes on YouTube, TikTok, Dailymotion or Reddit. Anything claiming otherwise is a re-upload, and we do not link to those.
The first step costs nothing on any series. Episode 1 is free, needs no account and plays now: the button at the top of every series page opens it.
The cast, by price
All characters
Tokens or Premium: the two ways to pay
Tokens are the unit Candy AI charges for each paid episode. Premium is the subscription that adds 100 tokens every month. The comparison is simpler than it looks, because the 100 tokens are the same on every plan; only the billing changes.
A month's Premium is 9.99 USD the first time, after which the plan bills 13.99 USD a month (in pounds that's roughly £10.77 for the later months). The 3-month plan is 8.99 USD a month, billed 26.97 USD every 3 months. The 12-month plan is 3.99 USD a month, billed 47.88 USD a year, in pounds that's roughly £36.87 a year.
A standard 36-token series uses just over a third of a month's tokens; a 90-token star series uses nearly all of them. The tokens vs Premium board sets every series against the plans. The guide to Premium billing and cancelling covers the part people forget: the 1-month plan carries on at 13.99 USD unless you cancel it, under Settings, then Subscription. On numbers alone, one month against one 36-token series leaves 64 tokens over: enough for a second series at par, with 28 still left.

| Free account | Episode 2 of every series | Nothing | Nothing |
| Tokens | Paid episodes: 12 tk on most, 30 tk on star series | 36 tk for a typical series | Depends on the route |
| Premium, 1 month | 100 tk a month | 9.99 USD, then 13.99 USD a month | £7.69, then £10.77 |
| Premium, 3 months | 100 tk a month | 8.99 USD a month (26.97 USD) | £6.92 a month (£20.77) |

Paying from the UK
Candy AI bills in USD. Your bank turns that into pounds at its own rate that day, and some cards add a fee for paying abroad on top. Which ones do is a question for your bank rather than for us, so check your bank before the first payment.
The pounds lines on this site use a rough rate of 0.77 GBP to the USD. They are there so a UK reader can place a figure, not to predict a statement to the penny. 9.99 USD comes to roughly £7.69. 13.99 USD, the monthly price after the first month, is roughly £10.77. Two months on the 1-month plan, 23.98 USD, comes out at roughly £18.46.
Tokens are counted here, not converted. A token figure only turns into money through the plan you pay for, which is why every quote carries a Premium route and the pounds line hangs off that, never off the tokens. What Candy AI tokens come to in pounds walks through the conversion for each plan, with the same rough rate and the same caveat.
The short version for a UK card: expect a USD charge, a pounds figure close to the one on this board, and possibly a small fee your bank decides.
Every series priced on this site opens with a free episode 1 on Candy AI. No card, no account.
Start free on Candy AIStart free on Candy AINew series, and how they are priced
4 series carry the Brand new label at the moment, and all 4 charge par. The Witch Who Made Me King, My Bachelor Gift was My Fiancée's Mom and a third newcomer are 5 episodes at 36 tokens to finish. YES MA'AM is the exception, though only in length: 12 tokens an episode, 30 episodes.
The Just added board lists new series as they arrive, each with its quote panel from the first week. None of the 4 is on sale at present, so their opening quotes are par quotes. New arrivals also join the main table, so the sorted view stays complete.
One figure we watch on every arrival is length. 9 episodes at par is 84 tokens to finish, 10 is 96, and 11 would pass the 100 tokens a month that Premium adds. A new series that long would be the first on the board, apart from YES MA'AM, to need a second month, and we would flag it on its page.
Until then the rule of thumb holds: a new 5-episode series costs 36 tokens to finish, and its first 2 episodes cost nothing.
The cast, priced by character
Some people follow a performer rather than a premise, so the cast board sorts series by character. Three character pages show how far the prices spread.
Margot Vey leads two par series: My Bachelor Gift was My Fiancée's Mom and Her Stepmom Is the Boss, 36 tokens to finish each. Her whole run costs 72 tokens, inside one month of Premium.
Diana Demont has the widest spread on the board. Got Stuck With My Girlfriend's Stepmom is 36 tokens to finish; YES MA'AM, also hers, is 336. Same character, finish prices more than nine times apart.
Riley Reid, as Candy AI's licensed character, appears in two star series, My Wife's Best Friend and My Girlfriend's Big Sister is Riley Reid, at 90 tokens each. Both together come to 180 tokens, which is 2 months of Premium: 23.98 USD, in pounds that's roughly £18.46.
Every character page lists her series in price order, with the chat on Candy AI priced underneath. The chat itself opens free, so you can meet a character before paying for any of her series, which is the same logic as the free opening on every episode list.
How this board checks its prices, and who it is for
Every figure on this site comes from Candy AI as it showed its prices on 20 October 2026, checked again in November 2026. Prices are in USD exactly as Candy AI displays them; the pounds lines are rough conversions and are labelled as such.
Every row gets a fresh look once a week. Sales are the figures that move most, so they get the closest look. When a series changes price, its quote panel and its row in the main table change together, and the sale price stays on the page only while the sale lasts.
This is a fan site. It is not run by Candy AI, plays no part in setting prices and cannot change them. About this site says more about the desk and how to report a figure that looks wrong.
It is for adults in the UK who want the number before the episode: what a series costs to finish, and whether one month of Premium covers it. The cost guides go further on tokens, pounds and billing. Everything else starts the same way: episode 1, free, no account, one press of the button away.
