Company

4 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.

Age-gate on entryYes unconfirmed

Country restrictionsYes

Pricing

3 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.

Refund policy statedYes

Getting Started

5 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. A native mobile app exists alongside the web app, and the platform surfaces character suggestions to new users rather than dropping them into an empty list.

Chat Features

6 checks

Once subscribed, conversations aren't capped: unlimited text messages, multiple simultaneous conversation threads, and group chats with more than one character at once are all supported. Built-in translation and full control to edit or delete message history round out the set.

Character Creation

4 checks

Users can build their own characters from scratch, including a personality editor for shaping traits and voice, and choose to keep a character private or publish it for others to find — both directions are supported, not just one.

Create custom charactersYes
Personality editorYes
Private charactersYes
Public charactersYes

Personalization

2 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 unconfirmed
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
Memory resetYes
Relationship memoryYes unconfirmed
Shared memory between chatsYes

Emotional Intelligence

3 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.

Flirting capabilityYes
Friend modeYes unconfirmed
Mood trackingYes unconfirmed

Voice

3 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.

Live voice conversationYes
Multiple voicesYes
Text to speechYes

Image Generation

4 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.

Ai image generationYes
Avatar generationYes
Multiple art stylesYes unconfirmed
Selfie generationYes

Roleplay

1 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.

Scene generationYes

Content Library

1 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.

Public characters listed100+

Privacy & Security

5 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.

GDPR compliance statedYes
Private chatsYes

Rules & Restrictions

7 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.

Account suspension policyYes
Character moderationYes
Content filter strictnessStrict unconfirmed
Hate speech handlingYes
Illegal content policyYes
User reportingYes
Violence restrictionsYes

Accessibility

1 checks

Candy AI ships a fully localized French version alongside English, rather than an English-only experience with machine-translated marketing pages bolted on.

Multiple languagesYes

Integrations

1 checks

Mobile and web sessions stay in sync on Candy AI, so a conversation started on one client picks up where it left off on another.

Mobile syncYes

Performance

2 checks

Candy AI supports concurrent chat sessions across multiple characters simultaneously, and its privacy policy discloses that data may be hosted or transferred across Europe and the United States.
