Wondering about the Candy Shorts price? You can start for free, and the Candy AI Shorts cost for a full series comes down to one choice: pay per episode, or subscribe to Candy Premium. We checked Candy’s pricing page on 19 October 2026, and every figure below is correct at the time of writing.

What Premium unlocks
Candy Premium unlocks all premium episodes in HD, and Candy says it is where “AI generates the most spicy moments”. It is not a Shorts-only pass, though. The same subscription includes:
- 100 tokens per month;
- unlimited text messages;
- the ability to create your own AI companion;
- image and video generation.
If you only want the series, you are paying for a bundle. If you like the extras, that is a pleasant bonus.
How each billing option works
1 month. The first month costs $9.99, then the price moves to $13.99 a month. It is the lowest upfront spend, so it suits a single binge. Set a reminder before day 30 so the higher price does not surprise you.
3 months. At $8.99 a month you pay $26.97 once for the period. It is a sensible middle path when you want a few series over a season.
12 months. This is $3.99 a month, billed as $47.88. Candy labels it “70% off”, and the arithmetic backs it up as a heavy discount against the $13.99 monthly rate. Stay on that monthly rate for a year and you would pay roughly $163.88.
Single episodes. You can unlock an episode on its own and keep it. The price appears at the unlock prompt, so we do not quote one here.
The numbers behind the plans
- The 3-month plan is $8.99 a month, which is $26.97 for the period.
- The 12-month plan is $3.99 a month, which is $47.88 for the year.
- Staying on the monthly plan for twelve months would cost about $163.88, so the annual plan is roughly $116 cheaper.
- Per day, the annual plan comes to about 13 cents.
Those figures come straight from the prices Candy shows, with simple arithmetic on top. Candy does not promise they will stay the same.
What you get before paying anything
You do not need to pay anything to find out whether Candy Shorts suits you. You can start Episode 1 for free, and Candy asks for a free sign-up to keep watching. Spicy series also need that free account before you can view them. Everything beyond that point is where the plans above come in.
Which option fits you
- Sampler: stay on the free Episode 1 and see what grabs you.
- One-series viewer: weigh the on-screen episode price against the $9.99 first month.
- Season viewer: take 3 months at $8.99 a month.
- Binge regular: the 12-month plan wins on cost per month.
Tips for paying less
- Sample Episode 1 of several series before choosing a plan.
- Match the plan to the number of series you actually want.
- Set a calendar reminder before the first month ends.
- Ignore “discount codes” or cheap access sold on unofficial sites.
Why the monthly price is not the whole story
A low monthly figure only helps if you will use the subscription for the whole term. The 12-month plan has the best rate, but it asks for $47.88 upfront. If you are not sure you will keep watching, the 1-month or 3-month route lets you commit less money while you find out.
Check before you pay
Prices move, so confirm the amount on Candy’s checkout before entering card details, and read the renewal terms for your plan. Only pay on the official Candy AI site. Anyone offering discounted Candy Shorts access elsewhere is not Candy.
