#7TL;DR (checked 26 October 2026)
- Candy AI is €13.99 a month (about $15.67) or €47.88 a year (about $53.63) with 100 tokens a month; images, voice and video spend tokens, and reviewers put real use at $25 to $60 a month.
- Closest like-for-like: OurDream AI ($19.99 a month, unlimited messages, 1,000 coins). Cheapest headline prices: Nectar AI (reported from $9.99) and Joi AI (reported $47.99 a year).
- For a written adult story instead of a companion to build: naughti.ai.
- Almost every alternative adds its own coins or credits, and most refund policies are narrower than Candy AI’s 24-hour rule.
Disclosure: this site is made by the naughti.ai team. naughti.ai is one of the apps compared here, and I say where it fits and where it does not. Every price comes from the vendor’s own page or a named source, checked 26 October 2026. Adults 18+ only; all characters in these apps are AI and fictional.

y = yes, n = no, amber = partial, conflicting or not verified. Checked 26 October 2026. EUR converted at about 1.12 USD per euro; "reported" = third-party source.
In practice: if a cell is amber, the vendor does not publish it or sources disagree. I do not fill gaps with guesses.
naughti.ai is made by the team behind this site, so read this with that in mind. It does the opposite of Candy AI: there is nothing to design. Each of about 50 scenarios opens with a written scene and a premade character, your choices branch the story, and premium moments unlock pre-made video clips. A separate off-script chat has about 37 characters.

OurDream AI, from Dream Studio USA, Inc., is the nearest match: you design a companion and get images, video and voice calls. Its homepage lists $19.99 a month or $9.99 a month billed $119.88 a year, with unlimited messages and 1,000 dreamcoins a month. Reported costs are 50 coins a minute for calls and 100 coins for a 5-second video. Full comparison: Candy AI vs OurDream AI.
Nectar AI (Nectar AI, LLC, Delaware, with a UK entity) offers a companion builder, images, video, voice and video calls. Its FAQ confirms a free plan with chat and limited images; reviewers report 15 messages a day. Paid plans are not shown publicly and are reported at $9.99, $19.99 and $34.99 a month, with credits for premium actions. Its privacy policy has no retention periods, and its Trustpilot profile has been removed, like Candy AI’s.

TL;DR: the apps come from real Google searches for “candy ai alternative”; facts come from each vendor’s pricing page, terms and privacy policy, then named reviews; nothing is tested that I did not test.

Plans, token costs and what a month really costs.
Two companion builders: price, media and refunds.
It depends on why you are leaving. For a written adult story instead of a companion to build, naughti.ai. For another companion builder with unlimited messages and voice calls, OurDream AI at $19.99 a month. For video calls, Nectar AI. For the cheapest yearly plan, Joi AI at a reported $47.99 a year, with pay-per-use Neurons on top.
On sticker price, a few: Nectar AI is reported from $9.99 a month and Joi AI from $13.99 a month or $47.99 a year. But most of them also sell credits, coins or Neurons, so check what images and video cost. Candy AI’s own yearly plan is €47.88 (about $53.63, converted).
None of the companion builders here is fully token-free: OurDream AI, Nectar AI, Secrets AI, Joi AI and DreamGF all use coins or credits for media. OurDream AI includes unlimited messages and 1,000 coins a month. naughti.ai sells scenario access and credits for premium video, not a per-message meter.
OurDream AI has the largest reported free tier at about 50 messages a day, then Secrets AI (about 20) and Nectar AI (about 15). Kupid AI’s page shows 15 messages. Candy AI itself allows about 5. See the free alternatives.
If designing one companion and generating images of them is the point, Candy AI does it well, and the yearly plan (€47.88) is cheap. The monthly plan (€13.99, about $15.67) plus tokens is where costs rise: reviewers put real spend at $25 to $60 a month. Read the full review.
Candy AI is run by EverAI Limited, registered in Malta under number C107181, according to its own terms and privacy notice. It launched in 2023, as several third-party sources report. Details on is Candy AI safe.
No native app. Candy AI’s site explains how to add it to your home screen as a web app on iOS and Android. Apps called “Candy AI” in the stores come from other developers, so treat them and any APK as unofficial.
For heavy users, often: OurDream AI includes unlimited messages and 1,000 coins for $19.99 a month, while Candy AI includes 100 tokens. Candy AI is cheaper on its yearly plan and has a clearer refund rule. Full comparison: Candy AI vs OurDream AI.
None publishes a perfect policy. DreamGF and naughti.ai are EU companies under GDPR and naughti.ai says chats are not sold; Candy AI says chats may train its models. Nectar AI’s policy has no retention periods. Read each policy before you share personal details.
Monthly list prices, as checked or reported on 26 October 2026: Nectar AI $9.99, Joi AI $13.99 plus tax, Candy AI €13.99 (about $15.67), naughti.ai €14.99 (about $16.79), OurDream AI $19.99, Secrets AI $19.99 and DreamGF $12.99 for the first month then $25.98.
Editor (pen name), Best Candy AI Alternative
Pastlife Tycoon is the pen name of the editor who writes this site for the naughti.ai team. I compare AI roleplay and companion apps for adults on facts you can check: the vendor’s own pricing pages, terms of service, privacy policies, age-check rules, company registers and public reviews. I note the date I checked every figure and re-check them monthly. I do not claim tests I have not run, and I say plainly where naughti.ai is not the right fit.
No companion to build and no setup: naughti.ai drops you straight into the story. About 50 branching adult scenarios, off-script chat with about 37 characters and pre-made video moments. Made by the team behind this site.
Adults 18+ only. All characters are AI and fictional.
