Candy AI: what it makes, what it costs, what its policy says
✓ Facts verified August 29, 2026
Candy AI is an adult AI companion platform rather than a bare image generator: you talk to a character, and images, short clips and voice arrive in the same chat. Its terms name the operator as EverAI Limited, a Malta company registered as C107181.
NSFWTop is independent and not affiliated with Candy AI. Everything below comes from Candy AI's own pages; the prices were read there on August 29, 2026 and change without notice, so the vendor's page is authoritative. It is also a partner tool — we earn a commission, so it sits in the group placed first in our ranking, disclosed on every list. It clears six of our seven checks; the miss is the interesting part.
What it generates
Four output types on one account: chat, images, video and voice. Images come from a dedicated generator or a chat request. Video is image-to-video: a generated image becomes a short clip, and a preset Build Your Video flow exists. No maximum duration is printed on any page we read; the pre-made Candy Shorts run under two minutes, but those are its catalogue, not your output. Voice means voice messages, beta voice calls and live audio. Styles are realistic and anime only, with no 3D or furry option and no API.
Real people, minors and what the policy actually says
The Blocked Content Policy of July 30, 2026 prohibits deceptive or harmful impersonation of real individuals, public figures and celebrities, and declares zero tolerance for non-consensual intimate imagery and images meant to resemble actual persons. On minors it is flat: attempting to generate content resembling a minor is strictly prohibited, flagged and removed, with a separate Underage Policy behind it.
Read the qualifiers: only deceptive or harmful impersonation and non-consensual deepfakes are named. Consented likeness is a product here — the operator runs Candy Creators, digital twins its help center says are made in direct partnership with each creator and with full consent; the public page lists seven named adult performers, plus creator cams and shorts. The Community Guidelines meanwhile keep an unqualified line against images resembling real persons, and the 2257 exemption page of February 14, 2025 still says no real individuals are portrayed.
That is why Candy AI misses check (g), no vendor-run real-person likeness program: we print the gap rather than drop the tool. As its own pages describe the program, it is licensed and made with each creator's consent — their statement, which we report rather than test.
Uploads, face-swap and undress
There is no upload path: the Blocked Content Policy states that users cannot upload or share content on the service, and we found no face-swap and no undress feature. The Premium Plus persona is text only — it describes you, not your photo.
Without a reference photo nothing can put a real face into a generated scene: that is check (c), and several ranked tools miss it — among them Lovescape, OurDream, GirlfriendGPT and PixAI. The matrix lists the rest. Undress and face-swap apps are not ranked here; see not listed.
What you get for free
The free account is a look around, not a trial of the engine: per the help center, five chat messages across all characters, one custom character and one generated image. Buttons read Join Free and Create Free Account; the home page calls it a free trial. Enough to judge the interface, not the model.
Paid plans in practice
Prices are in euros, read on August 29, 2026. The subscription page prints a per-month headline beside the amount actually charged: twelve months at €3.99 a month billed as €47.88 (badged 70% off); three months at €8.99 a month billed as €26.97; one month at €13.99. The payment sheet adds €9.79 every two weeks and €5.6 weekly; both renew automatically.
All five Premium options carry the same benefits: your own characters, 18+ images and videos, the full Live Action experience, unlimited text messages and 100 tokens a month. A Premium Plus tier appears in the help center (330 tokens a month, personas, memory slots) with no price printed publicly, so we cannot verify its cost.
Age gate, moderation and privacy
Age gate. The Underage Policy describes an 18+ affirmation on entry; we met none — the landing page and sign-up modal showed only a cookie banner and a terms line. The terms reserve the right to ask for information verifying adulthood.
Moderation. Conversations are called generally private, but automated controls flag violations; flagged and related account content may then be reviewed by the company or authorized partners, removed, the account terminated, or reported to authorities.
Privacy. The Privacy Notice of July 30, 2026 keeps account data three years after your last activity (possibly one), deletes log files after 30 days and holds financial records ten years. Videos you generate are saved under My Generations and there is no public gallery, but the terms take a broad content licence and say conversations may train models. We found no lawsuit or regulatory action against EverAI; a 2025 blog claim that it was banned is contradicted by the live site, and the FTC's September 2025 chatbot inquiry did not name it.
Who it suits — and who should look elsewhere
It suits someone who wants the companion format — chat first, with images, clips and voice attached — at a low annual price, and who is untroubled that the vendor sells licensed likenesses of real performers.
Look elsewhere if you want none of that near your subscription: four ranked tools clear all seven checks, and two of them — Secrets AI and Promptchan AI — start at $0. Look elsewhere for commercial rights, which the terms exclude, or month-to-month value: €3.99 exists only as a year up front; monthly is €13.99.
What its own policy says
Quoted verbatim from the official pages we read. A missing quote means we found no such statement — not that the tool allows it.
On real people, celebrities and deepfakes
“Deceptive or harmful impersonation of real individuals, public figures, or celebrities is prohibited. This encompasses any misleading attempts to impersonate or misrepresent others. [...] We have a zero-tolerance policy for the creation or attempted creation of non-consensual intimate imagery and images intended to resemble actual persons (“deepfakes”). This content will be removed and appropriate action taken against anyone found violating this policy.”
Source: candy.ai/blocked-content-policy
Caveat: Bans are qualified: only "Deceptive or harmful impersonation" and "non-consensual" deepfakes are prohibited (Blocked Content Policy g/h); Community Guidelines bullet reads "Create, publish, or share images that resemble real persons" without qualifier, yet the operator itself runs "Candy Creators": help article 61567212353945 says "We’re excited to introduce the digital twins of three content creators to Candy!" and "Every digital twin on Candy is created in direct partnership with and with the full consent of the creator." The /candy-creators page lists Riley Reid, Sophie Dee, Mia Malkova, Renae Erica, Celine, Brianna Howe, Abigail with follower counts, plus "Candy Creator Cams" and "Shorts featuring Creators". ToS §1 also states pre-made media may include "modifications to media for which we have applicable usage rights".
On minors
“It is strictly prohibited trying to generate AI content resembling minors. We are committed to ensuring that AI-generated content on our platform does not bear any resemblance to minors or exploit their likeness. Attempts to generate AI content resembling minors will be flagged, reviewed, and removed according to our moderation controls (see paragraph 3 and our Underage Policy ).”

On moderation
“While conversations between users and AI Characters are generally private, we have implemented content moderation controls to ensure compliance with our TOS, Community Guidelines, and other Policies. If our moderation controls detect anything that violates our TOS or Policies, we or authorized partners may access and manually review the flagged content and/or other content associated with the account and take appropriate action. This may include removing content, terminating the user’s account or reporting the content to appropriate authorities.”

On uploads and edits
“Although users cannot upload or share content on the Services, the content outlined in this Blocked Content Policy is nevertheless prohibited and subject to our moderation controls and reporting policies.”

Our verdict
Candy AI is one of the better-documented products here: dated policies, prices printed with the amount actually charged, no upload path. Six of our seven checks pass. The seventh is a real editorial call — it sells consented real-person likenesses while its own guidelines keep an unqualified line against images resembling real persons. We list it, flag it and leave the decision with you; five ranked alternatives clear the full checklist. Prices were read on August 29, 2026 and change without notice, and we earn a commission if you subscribe through our link.
Frequently asked questions
Is Candy AI free?
There is a free account, but a small one: five chat messages across all characters, one custom character and one image. Everything past that is paid.
Does Candy AI allow images of real people or celebrities?
Its policy bans deceptive or harmful impersonation and non-consensual deepfakes of actual persons. Consented likeness is different: the operator itself sells Candy Creators, licensed digital twins of named adult performers made, it says, with each creator's full consent.
Can Candy AI generate video?
Yes, as image-to-video: a generated image becomes a short clip, and a preset Build Your Video flow exists too. No maximum duration is printed on the pages we read. More in our video list.
How much does Candy AI cost?
Read on August 29, 2026: €3.99 a month on twelve months (billed €47.88), €8.99 on three months (billed €26.97), €13.99 for one month, plus €9.79 every two weeks or €5.6 weekly. All renew automatically; Premium Plus has no public price.
Who operates Candy AI?
EverAI Limited, a Malta company registered as C107181 with the Malta Business Registry. The name is given in Candy AI's own terms of service.
Does Candy AI check your age?
Its Underage Policy describes an 18+ affirmation on entry, but we met no gate — only a cookie banner and a terms line on the landing page and sign-up modal. The terms reserve the right to ask for information verifying adulthood.
Are my chats and images private?
Not published: there is no public gallery, and the videos you generate sit under My Generations. Not sealed either — moderation may review flagged content, the terms take a broad content licence and say conversations may train models, and account data is kept up to three years.
Can I use Candy AI output commercially?
No. Its terms state the service is for personal, non-commercial use only, and that you agree not to use it for any commercial, illegal or unauthorized purpose.
How does Candy AI differ from Secrets AI?
Both are companion platforms with chat, images, video and a free tier, and neither takes a reference photo. The difference is likeness: Secrets AI clears all seven checks; Candy AI misses the likeness-program one.
