What Premium costs in USD
The 12-month plan is the cheapest rate by far: 3.99 USD a month, billed once as 47.88 USD. The 3-month plan costs 8.99 USD a month, billed 26.97 USD every 3 months. The 1-month plan starts at 9.99 USD and then renews at 13.99 USD a month.
Each plan adds 100 tokens a month. Counted against those tokens, one 12-token episode works out at 0.48 USD on the yearly plan, 1.08 USD on the 3-month plan and 1.20 USD in a first 1-month plan. That figure is an upper bound, because Premium also brings the chat features. Our guide to what a token costs lays out every plan.
The plan table and the Premium vs tokens table above this text set those prices next to each series. A first month at 9.99 USD is the low-risk test: you see how many series you really finish before any longer plan makes sense.
| Plan | Price | Billing | Tokens a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | 3.99 USD | per month, billed yearly | 100 |
| 3 months | 8.99 USD | per month, billed every 3 months | 100 |
| 1 month | 9.99 USD | first month, then 13.99 USD a month | 100 |
How many series one month finishes
One Premium month is enough for every series in the catalog. Each of the 31 fits inside a single month of 100 tokens, so the route through Premium always starts at 9.99 USD.
Standard series are where the month goes furthest. At 36 tokens each, 100 tokens finish 2 of them with 28 to spare. Sale series stretch further still: Snowed-In with Stepmom and Hot Shot both finish for 30.6 tokens, so 3 of them fit in one month.
The star series eat most of a month on their own. Thanksgiving With My Best Friend's Mom and My Stepmom Mia Malkova Needs a Date each need 90 tokens, which leaves 10 for anything else. A 6-episode series such as The Anniversary Massage needs 48, which still leaves room for a sale series in the same month.
| Series | Tokens to finish | Premium months | Cheaper route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thanksgiving With My Best Friend's Mom | 90 | 1 | 1 month, 9.99 USD |
| My Stepmom Mia Malkova Needs a Date | 90 | 1 | 1 month, 9.99 USD |
| The Anniversary Massage | 48 | 1 | Premium, shared with a second series |
| Snowed-In with Stepmom | 30.6 on sale | 1 | Premium, with room for 2 more |
| Hot Shot | 30.6 on sale | 1 | Premium, with room for 2 more |
When tokens alone make more sense
Tokens on their own suit a light viewer. You unlock one paid episode at a time and stop whenever a story loses you, which keeps the spend tied to what you actually watch. A single series watched once a season rarely justifies a plan that renews, and the free walk-in of episodes 1 and 2 already tells you which series deserve tokens at all. The button on each series page opens episode 1 free, with no account, so nothing is spent before you know.
Premium wins once you finish 2 or more series a month, or once you want a star series, because 90 tokens is most of a month on its own. Our tips to spend fewer tokens show how to line up sale series inside one month.
Canceling is simple: open Settings, then Subscription. A 1-month plan canceled before renewal costs 9.99 USD in total, and its 100 tokens finish any single series in the 31-series value table. Our wider verdict on whether Candy AI is worth it weighs the chat features too.
