Company

5 checks

Candy AI is operated by EverAI Limited, registered in Santa Venera, Malta — the company name and address are printed directly in the site footer rather than buried in a terms document, which is more disclosure than most sites in this niche offer. No separate parent company is named, so EverAI Limited appears to be the sole owner. Candy AI does not publish a public status or uptime page, so outages aren't tracked anywhere independently.

Age & Compliance

6 checks

Candy AI gates entry with an age check requiring users to affirm they're 18 or older, but it's a self-attestation checkbox, not formal ID verification — no document upload or third-party identity check appears anywhere in the signup flow. The platform states it restricts access in certain jurisdictions, and despite hosting 18+ content it's listed on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, which not every AI companion app manages to keep.

Pricing

10 checks

Candy AI's base plan runs $13.99 per month. All three billing options — 1, 3, and 12-month commitments — unlock the identical feature set; the only difference is the discount for paying further in advance, not a tiered feature ladder. A refund and cancellation policy is stated on the pricing page itself.

Getting Started

11 checks

New users can browse characters and preview the product before creating an account, and the full experience runs in-browser with no install required.

Personalization

3 checks

Beyond picking a character's look, users can set personal interests that feed back into how the AI interacts with them, and set a preferred conversation language independent of the interface language.

InterestsYes
NicknamesNo
Language preferencesYes

Memory

5 checks

Memory persists across sessions rather than resetting between chats, and critically, it's user-editable: users can view, edit, or fully reset what's remembered rather than being stuck with whatever the model retained. Memory also carries across separate conversations and characters, not just within one thread.

Long term memoryYes
Memory editingYes
Relationship memoryYes
Shared memory between chatsYes
Memory resetYes

Emotional Intelligence

5 checks

Romantic and flirting interaction is a supported, policy-permitted mode on Candy AI, alongside a distinct platonic "friend" persona option for users who want companionship without the romantic framing. The platform also tracks some form of evolving mood or relationship state, though the exact mechanics aren't detailed publicly.

Mood trackingYes
Flirting capabilityYes
Coaching modeNo
Friend modeYes
Mentor modeNo

Voice

6 checks

Voice goes beyond one-way narration: real-time back-and-forth spoken conversation is supported, not just text-to-speech playback, and there's a choice of multiple preset voices rather than one fixed default.

Text to speechYes
Speech to textNo
Live voice conversationYes
Voice cloningNo
Multiple voicesYes
Voice speed controlYes

Image Generation

9 checks

Image generation covers character avatars, "selfie"-style images, and more than one visual art style to choose from, so output isn't locked to a single realism preset.

Roleplay

5 checks

Candy AI can generate scene descriptions and settings during roleplay, not just character dialogue — useful for longer narrative sessions rather than one-off chat exchanges.

Adventure modeNo
Story modeNo
Scene generationYes
Narrator modeNo
Dice systemNo

Content Library

5 checks

Candy AI's public character library runs over 100 characters at last check — a moving target rather than a fixed number, since catalog size on sites like this changes often.

Privacy & Security

9 checks

Candy AI's privacy policy explicitly addresses both GDPR and CCPA, and users can request full erasure of their personal data. Chats are private to the user by default. Set against that: the terms of service grant the company a broad, perpetual license to use conversation content, and nothing in the terms describes an opt-out from that use for AI training.

Rules & Restrictions

8 checks

Candy AI's content policy explicitly names hate speech, illegal content, and violence or self-harm as prohibited categories, backed by a user reporting mechanism and a stated account-suspension policy for violations. User-created characters go through a moderation review rather than publishing unchecked.
