Candy Shorts Pricing: Tokens, Premium and What Each Series Costs

In short

Episodes 1 and 2 of the 59 open series are free; after that each episode costs 12, 30 or 50 tokens. Most series take 36 tokens to finish. Premium was $3.99 a month on the yearly plan when we checked (27 October 2026) and includes 100 tokens a month. Spicy series need Premium.

Two things you can pay for

Candy Shorts has two price layers, and it helps to keep them apart.

Tokens pay for individual episodes. In the 59 open series, the first two episodes cost none: episode 1 plays with nothing to fill in, and episode 2 needs only a free account. Every episode after that has a token price.

Premium is the Candy AI subscription. You don’t need it for open series, but it’s the only way into the 11 Spicy series, even for their first episode. It also comes with a monthly token allowance.

Everything on this page uses prices and token counts we checked on 27 October 2026. Token pack prices aren’t covered here.

Premium plans and what they include

When we checked, Premium came in three lengths:

PlanPrice
12 months$3.99 per month
3 months$8.99 per month
Monthly$9.99 for month one, $13.99 per month afterwards

Whichever length you choose, 100 tokens a month are included. Premium also changes how Spicy series work: they stop being locked and blurred, and their first two episodes cost no tokens. From episode 3 onwards, Spicy episodes are charged in tokens like anything else. Premium doesn’t make paid episodes of open series free either; the included tokens are what you spend on them. More on the Spicy side in our uncensored guide.

Candy Shorts tokens per episode

Each series has one fixed token price for its paid episodes:

  • 12 tokens: 50 series, all of them open.
  • 30 tokens: 16 series, nine open and seven Spicy.
  • 50 tokens: 4 series, all Spicy.

Six of the nine open series at 30 tokens have a creator credited in the cast or named in the title, such as Our Host Is Riley Reid, My Stepmom Sophie Dee Caught Me Changing and Thanksgiving With My Best Friend’s Mom. Since a series has one rate throughout, the price of episode 3 tells you the price of every later episode.

Cheapest series to finish

The arithmetic for a standard series is short. Five episodes, two of them free, three paid. At 12 tokens per paid episode, finishing costs 36 tokens.

That’s the floor, and it’s shared by 48 open series, the large majority of the catalogue. No series is cheaper to complete. If you want to see an ending for the smallest outlay, any five-episode open series at the 12-token rate does it. The free episodes guide lists what you can watch before spending anything.

The next step up is 90 tokens: the nine open series that charge 30 per episode, and three five-episode Spicy series at the same rate (Good Boy For Stepmom; Bella, My Step-Daughter; and My Girlfriend’s Stepsister), where Premium is needed on top.

Dearest series to finish

Length and rate push a few series well above the rest. These are the series that cost more than 100 tokens to finish, counting only the paid episodes:

My Step-Son’s BullySpicy550150
My Girlfriend’s Step-Aunt Is Asa AkiraSpicy550150

Blackout at My Yacht Party is the most expensive in the catalogue: eight paid episodes at 50 tokens, on top of a Premium subscription. YES MA’AM is the open-series record holder, not because of its rate, which is the standard 12, but because 33 of its 35 episodes are paid. Tori’s Broken Vows, the most searched series name we track, costs 240 tokens after the two episodes Premium includes. Mona’s Worst Enemy is the other long open series, at 15 episodes and 156 tokens.

What 100 monthly tokens cover

Premium’s allowance of 100 tokens a month goes further at the 12-token rate than anywhere else:

  • 12-token episodes: eight of them, using 96 tokens. That’s two complete 36-token series plus two episodes of a third.
  • 30-token episodes: three, using 90 tokens. That’s exactly one 90-token series, open or Spicy.
  • 50-token episodes: two, using all 100.

Measured against the longer series, YES MA’AM needs almost four months’ worth of allowance (396 of 400 tokens), and Blackout at My Yacht Party needs exactly four. A five-episode Spicy series at 50 tokens needs a month and a half.

Open and Spicy series compared

The two groups differ in more than access. An open series can be finished with tokens alone, and most of them need just 36. A Spicy series always needs Premium, its paid episodes are charged at 30 or 50 tokens, and several of them run longer than five episodes. The cheapest Spicy series to finish takes 90 tokens, two and a half times the open-series floor.

Averaged out, the gap is wide. Across the 59 open series, finishing costs about 52 tokens per series. Across the 11 Spicy series, it’s about 175, before you count the subscription. Premium is the only way into the Spicy group, so it’s the deciding cost there. For open series, what decides the bill is each series’ token rate and its length, and the subscription matters only as a source of tokens.

The cost of finishing everything

For anyone wondering about the whole catalogue: finishing all 59 open series would take 3,090 tokens. Finishing all 11 Spicy series would take another 1,930, with Premium running alongside. That’s 5,020 tokens in total for every paid episode on Candy Shorts as of late October 2026. New series arrive over time, so the figure will change.

How to keep costs down

Start with the free episodes and decide per series. Episode 1 shows the setting and characters, and episode 2 comes free with an account, so by the time you reach a paid episode you’ve seen two of five. Favour 12-token series if you want the most endings per token, and treat the long series as a separate decision: YES MA’AM costs as much as 11 standard 36-token series put together.
