Three free steps, in order
Step one happens here. Each series page on this board carries a short silent preview cut from episode 1, which plays muted as it scrolls into view. No sign-up, no sound, no spoilers past the opening.
Step two is episode 1 itself, on Candy AI in the Shorts section. It runs in any desktop or mobile browser and asks for no account. Every series opens this way, including the long ones and the star series.
Step three is episode 2. Candy AI asks for a free account first: an email address and a confirmation that you are an adult. No card is needed at that point.
| Step | Where | Account needed | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silent preview | This site | None | Nothing |
| Episode 1 | Candy AI, Shorts | None | Nothing |
| Episode 2 | Candy AI, Shorts | Free account | Nothing |
| Episode 3 onwards | Candy AI, Shorts | Free account | Tokens or Premium |
Where the free part ends
Episode 3 is the first locked one. On a 5-episode series at par that leaves 3 to pay for, 12 tokens each: a finish price of 36. The star series charge 30 tokens an episode, so their finish price is 90. The price board lists every series with that figure.
Sale series make the paid part smaller, not the free part larger. At 10.2 tokens an episode, a 5-episode series on sale costs 30.6 tokens after its 2 free episodes. On the latest check that applied to I Won My Best Friend's Girlfriend, Dragon Queen's Dark Desire, Trapped Desires: Island Swap, Under Holly’s Command and Newlywed Not Satisfied.
What is never free
- Episode 3 and later, on every one of the 39 series, short or long.
- Premium, a paid plan from 3.99 USD a month on yearly billing (in pounds that's roughly £3.07), with 100 tokens a month.
- Tokens bought on their own, priced by Candy AI at checkout.
- A Candy Shorts app. There is none in the App Store or Google Play; the series play in a browser only.
Pages promising free full episodes
Candy AI publishes no official full episodes on YouTube, TikTok, Dailymotion or Reddit. Pages that promise all of them free are re-uploads, leaks or modified apps, and some want a card number or a download. We do not link to them and would not install one.
The legitimate free part is short and identical everywhere: episode 1, then episode 2 with an account. Anything that claims more is selling something else.
Getting the most out of the free opening
Treat the 2 free episodes as a trial of the premise. Watch episode 1 of a few series before signing up, since that costs nothing and needs no email. Open an account only for the one you would carry on with.
When you do reach episode 3, the cheapest finish is usually a series on sale, or two par series inside one month of Premium. The cheapest-way guide works through both, and tokens vs Premium compares the plans. Episode 1 of any series is a button away, and it is free.
