Candy AI Subscription Cost: $9.99 Today, $13.99 Later
The $9.99 Banner and the $13.99 Renewal Behind It
The Candy AI checkout says $9.99, and that number holds for exactly one month. After that you pay the renewal price, plus a token meter that starts running the first time you ask for a photo.
So if your card number is half typed and the $9.99 Premium offer is still on screen, here's what you're agreeing to. It's a first-month offer on Candy AI Premium. From month two, Premium renews at about $13.99/month, according to US checkout pricing as reported and checked in October 2026. Candy's own pricing page can show euros depending on your region, so confirm the currency on the final checkout screen before you commit.
The jump is easy to miss. $9.99 sits on the banner, and $13.99 only turns up later on a statement. Quote the price as one number and you end up budgeting for a plan that lasts thirty days.
Then there's the rest of the bill, because the subscription is only the first line. What you actually spend depends on how many images and Live Action videos you want, since those run on tokens rather than the flat fee.
If you're mainly paying for media, this article ends up recommending GoLove.ai. Its plan card prints per-item rates: 1 Star per image, 5 Stars per video.

Monthly, Quarterly, Annual: Candy's Price Per Month Falls Fast
Here's Candy AI's full price ladder, with each billing length converted to a per-month figure so they line up:
- Monthly: about $13.99/month at renewal, with $9.99 for the first month
- Quarterly: $26.97 every three months, about $8.99/month
- Annual: $47.88 a year, about $3.99/month

All three are US checkout figures, checked October 2026. Every tier includes unlimited text chat plus 100 tokens a month.
> $3.99/month. Per month, Candy's annual plan costs less than a third of the $13.99 monthly renewal. You get the same unlimited text and the same 100 tokens.
On annual billing, Candy is genuinely cheap, and I won't pretend otherwise. If you're sure you'll still be chatting in month eleven, it's the one to beat on price.
GoLove PRO costs more, at about $19.99/month or about $119.88/year (around $9.99/month), checked October 2026, with regional and promo variance. That price includes:
- 100 Stars every month, at 1 Star per image and 5 Stars per video
- All NSFW content and character creation
- Voice messages and calls
- The unlimited Feed and the image generator
On paper that's the pricier plan. What you get for the extra is that the media rates are printed on the plan card, so you can work out what a month buys before you pay.
Browsing costs nothing. Before you lock in any billing length, look at who you'd actually be spending those Stars on.

Where Candy's 100 Tokens Go Once Photos and Video Start
Candy Premium gives you 100 tokens each month. Text chat doesn't touch them, since text is unlimited. Image generation and Live Action video do draw on tokens, and once the monthly allowance is gone, more media means buying more tokens on top of the subscription.

Tap any of them and the chat starts there
We could not confirm Candy's per-image or per-video token rates for this piece. Before you assume 100 tokens will cover a month, check Candy's token page for three numbers:
Watch Popular Shows starring your favorite AI characters.
- Image cost in tokens
- Live Action clip cost in tokens
- Top-up price per token pack
Without those, "100 tokens" is a quantity with no unit price. It might be plenty. It might also be one busy weekend.
Can you just stay on the free account? Not for long. Candy's free account allows five messages across characters, one custom character and one generated image, with no replenishing allowance stated. That's a decent preview of the character builder. As a way to keep a conversation going, it's kinda hollow.
GoLove does this differently. Its generator shows the rate card right in the UI: images cost 1 Star each, and a 720p video on the video generator costs 10 Stars. The cost is in front of you while you set up the clip, before anything is spent.
Pricing Out One Evening of Chat, Photos and a Short Clip
Take one ordinary evening: some flirty back-and-forth, three photos of her, one short clip to finish. Nothing extreme. It's the kind of night that makes a subscription feel worth paying for, so it's a fair yardstick for both apps.
The Same Evening on Candy AI
The chat costs nothing extra, because Premium's unlimited text covers it. The meter runs on the three photos and the Live Action clip, which all come out of your 100 monthly tokens. We couldn't confirm Candy's per-item token rates, so check what one image and one clip cost before your first heavy night. If clips turn out to be expensive, an evening like this could eat a real share of the month, and the top-up shop is one screen away.
SEE THE REAL DIFFERENCE
Filtered bots stop. She does not.
The Same Evening on GoLove PRO
You open a chat, tap the media button, choose Send Photo and describe the scene in your own words. A photo of that same character arrives in roughly 20–45 seconds for about 1 Star, with her face and body consistent with her avatar and earlier photos. Three of those and you've spent about 3 Stars.
For the finish, tap Generate Video under one of those photos for a ~5-second clip of the same scene. One catch worth knowing: the plan card lists 5 Stars per video, but the in-chat photo-to-video button shows 10 Stars, so budget 5–10. The whole evening comes to roughly 8–13 of your 100 monthly Stars.
| What you get | GoLove.ai |
|---|---|
| Voice | Live calls and voice messages |
| Memory | Remembers your chat history |
| Photos in chat | On request |
| Image generator | 35 realistic poses & 21 outfits |
| Daily reward stars | 2 every day |
What you spend comes down to this usage pattern, not the plan name on your receipt. If photos and clips are the reason you're subscribing, GoLove.ai is the one I'd point you to: about 1 Star per in-chat photo, priced before you tap.
Giving Up Candy's $3.99 Annual Rate for Media You Can Count
The trade-off is simple. Candy's annual plan costs $47.88 a year; GoLove PRO annual costs about $119.88, checked October 2026, with regional and promo variance. On paper, that isn't close. If you mostly text, Candy is the better buy and you should take it — unlimited chat at about $3.99/month is an easy recommend.
GoLove's higher price buys predictability. You get 100 Stars a month at rates printed on the plan card, which covers about 100 images or about 20 videos at the listed rate. The plan also includes the image generator, voice messages and calls, and the unlimited Feed.
What you give up
On GoLove.ai, the order that works:
- Pick a character — or build one to your taste
- Say something real: she remembers your chat history
- Open Chat Settings: pick her voice, lust level and reply length
- Ask her for a photo in the chat
- Want a set pose or outfit? The image generator has 35 realistic poses and 21 outfits
- The lowest per-month subscription in this comparison
- The gentlest entry price, Candy's $9.99 first month
What you gain
- Readable per-item media costs before you spend
- Same-character photos requested straight from chat
- A one-tap photo-to-video path under any photo
OurDream lands in the same price bracket as GoLove, from about $19.99/month or about $9.99/month on an annual plan (checked September 2026). Its images and video draw on a separate DreamCoins balance; our breakdown of OurDream's plans and coin balance covers how that works.

What I'd Check Before Typing the Card Number
If it were my card half typed, this is the order I'd go in.
Before you pay
- Count first. Decide how many photos and videos you'll realistically request each month, and pick the billing length from that number, not from the first-month banner.
- If it's mostly text, Candy's annual plan at about $3.99/month is the cheapest way to hold a subscription.
- If media is the point, read GoLove's plan card: 1 Star per image, 5 per video, and 100 Stars restored every billing month.
- Watch episodes 1 and 2 of any GoLove Series at no cost (My AI Girlfriend or She Streams on My Platform are good places to start). After an episode you can start chatting with the star and ask her to send you photos or video of herself. From episode 3 you need PRO plus a few Stars per episode.
- New users get a limited-time −70% first-subscription offer, and signing up costs nothing.

Candy earns the win for texters on an annual plan, fair and square. For anyone paying mainly for photos and video, though, GoLove PRO is the better-value pick, because you know what an evening costs before it starts. My one-word grade for GoLove on this question: predictable.
Set her look and personality first, then ask for the first photo. At 1 Star, that's the cheapest way to see whether the rate card holds up for you.
