Cost to finish a Candy Shorts series: the exact sums

Tokens per episode

Candy AI prices each paid episode individually. Across our 52 series, the common price is 12 tokens. A smaller group, including the digital twin series Our Host Is Riley Reid and Nerdy Stepdaughter, charges 30 tokens per episode. Candy AI has also used a 50-token tier on certain titles. The card on each series page shows the figure that applies.

Total tokens for a whole series

Token bundles are sold by Candy AI in its own currency and we do not quote their prices here, as they change with promotions. When a sale is on, Candy AI says so on the purchase page.

• 5 episodes, 2 free, 12 tokens each: 3 paid episodes, 36 tokens in total.
• 5 episodes, 2 free, 30 tokens each: 3 paid episodes, 90 tokens in total.
• 30 episodes, 2 free, 12 tokens each (YES MA'AM): 28 paid episodes, 336 tokens in total.
• Any series: multiply the paid episodes by the token price shown on its card.

Premium in USD, as Candy AI lists it

Premium unlocks the paid episodes of every series, not just one, alongside other features of the Candy AI platform. The subscription is billed in US dollars whatever your location; we never convert to pounds or euros, because the conversion would be ours and not Candy AI's.

• 12 months: 3.99 USD per month.
• 3 months: 8.99 USD per month.
• 1 month: 9.99 USD for the first month, then 13.99 USD per month.

When tokens beat Premium, and the reverse

Tokens win when you want to finish one short series and stop. Three paid episodes at 12 tokens is a modest outlay with no recurring charge, and nothing to cancel.

Premium wins once the plan is to watch several series, or one long series. The 336 tokens needed for YES MA'AM alone outweigh a single month of Premium, and anyone working through the catalogue of 52 reaches that point quickly. Our tokens versus Premium guide sets the two side by side.

A worked example: The Prince's Last Week Unwed

The same arithmetic applies to every page on the series hub: paid episodes times token price, against a month of Premium.

1. The Prince's Last Week Unwed has 5 episodes, 2 of them free.
2. Episodes 1 and 2 cost nothing: watch the first without an account, the second after creating a free account.
3. Episodes 3, 4 and 5 are priced at 12 tokens each, so 36 tokens finishes the series.
4. If you also plan to watch Our Exchange Student (another 36 tokens) and a few more, compare the running total with 9.99 USD for a first month of Premium.
