About Candy AI
Candy AI is the one most people land on first when they go looking for an AI girlfriend, and it's earned that by being broader than the competition rather than deeper in any one thing. You build a companion — ethnicity, age range, eyes, hair, body, personality, voice, hobbies — and then talk to her by text, by voice, or by asking for pictures. The chat remembers what you've told it, which is the difference between a novelty you close after ten minutes and something people actually come back to.
The feature worth knowing about is Candy Shorts: a short-form vertical video feed of AI-generated clips you scroll like any other feed. It's the closest thing the AI space has produced to a TikTok for adult content, and it's the reason a lot of people end up on the platform without ever intending to build a companion at all.
Everything runs on tokens. Chat, voice, images and video all draw from the same balance, and subscriptions come monthly, quarterly or yearly with a batch of tokens included plus top-ups when you burn through them. There's a free trial with no commitment, which is the right way in — token economies are hard to judge from a pricing page and easy to judge after twenty minutes of use.
On the governance side they're more explicit than most: interactions are stated as fictional and consenting, with published community guidelines, and the company behind it is a registered entity rather than an anonymous operation. Interface is English and French for now.

Our Verdict
8.5
/10
Candy AI wins on breadth. Chat with memory, voice, images, AI video and the Shorts feed all sit behind one subscription, and the companion builder is the most complete in the category. The token economy is the thing to watch — the headline price isn't what heavy use costs. Start on the free trial and see how fast your balance moves before you commit to a year.
