What exactly do you get for free?
Two episodes per series, in full. They are not previews, not highlight reels, not a censored edit. They are the genuine opening of the series, and they are the part of it that is safe for work.
The allowance is per series rather than per account, which is the detail most people miss. It does not burn down to zero like a trial. Open a different series and its first two episodes are free as well, so a patient viewer accumulates a lot of watching for nothing, one opening pair at a time.
For the series listed in Candy AI's public catalogue, each run is five episodes long. Two free and safe for work, three paid and NSFW: that is the arithmetic, per series, every time, and it is a far more useful thing to know than any single price.
What you do not get is any say in where a series stops. The cut is fixed by the platform and lands in the same place every time: the end of episode two, which is also the last episode before the series turns.
Are the free episodes explicit, or do they hold back?
They hold back, and that is a settled answer rather than a matter of which series you happened to open. Episodes one and two are safe for work in every series: suggestive, sometimes heavily so, but nothing explicit is shown. From episode three the series turns NSFW, and that is the paid part.
So if you watched both free episodes and came away thinking the whole thing was oversold, you were reading the mild half. Nothing was edited out on your account, no softer version was served to you, and you did not stumble onto the one quiet series in the catalogue. You watched the two episodes that are built not to show anything.
What does vary is how far a series goes once it turns, and that is what the per-series ratings grade. The scale runs 1 to 5, applied to the paid episodes. A 1 barely moves past the free opening. A 3 is nudity and clearly sexual content presented without much restraint. A 5 is fully explicit throughout the paid run, with no coy camera work anywhere in it. The ratings are published on the series pages.
Candy AI publishes nothing like this itself. The platform offers no explicitness guidance before you press play, so the only way to find out how far a series goes has been to pay for it and see. The ratings are the shortcut.
What is not free?
Everything from episode three. That is where a series turns NSFW and where the paid part starts, and those are the same point rather than two separate lines. That is the whole model: the safe-for-work opening is given away so the rest can be sold.
Candy AI's interface is candid about it. There is a menu item labelled Private Content with a padlock beside it, and for a logged-out visitor clicking it opens the registration modal rather than any content. The platform's own front-end code calls the free feed a guest free-funnel experiment – their words, not ours. The free episodes are advertising that also happens to be the real first two episodes, which is why they are not watered down: there was nothing explicit in them to water down.
Is Candy Shorts a separate subscription from Candy AI?
No. Shorts sits inside Candy AI rather than beside it. The account that unlocks the free episodes is an ordinary Candy AI account, and the plan that unlocks the rest of a series is an ordinary Candy AI plan. We have found nothing advertising a standalone Shorts product or a Shorts-only tier.
That cuts both ways. If you already pay for Candy AI for the chat and companion side, the episodes cost you nothing extra. If the episodes are all you want, you are buying a broader subscription that happens to include them, and it should be judged on the whole platform rather than on Shorts alone.
How do you actually watch the free episodes?
Four steps, none of them complicated.
Open candy.ai and go to the Candy Shorts section at candy.ai/candy-shorts. It is serialised vertical video, made for a portrait screen, and it turns up written both as Candy Shorts and as CandyShorts, which is worth knowing when you search for it.
Create the account. Registration is free, and it is the gate rather than a formality: logged out, the Private Content item sits behind its padlock and clicking it opens the registration modal instead of an episode.
Watch both free episodes before deciding anything. Episode two is where the free part of that series ends and where the safe-for-work part ends with it, so it is the last point at which you are judging the series rather than the subscription.
Why does this page not list a price?
Because any figure printed here would be wrong within a week, and a wrong number is worse than none.
Pricing is not something this page can pin down. We have not documented Candy AI's current figures, and subscription pricing of this kind moves with plan length, currency and whatever offer happens to be running, so a number typed here would be a snapshot of somebody else's checkout rather than a fact about yours. Treat any page that prints one firm figure as out of date until you have checked it yourself.
The shape of the paywall is stable, and that is what we describe instead: a free account, the first two episodes of each series at no cost and safe for work, and everything from episode three on a paid Candy AI plan. Read the live figure off Candy AI's own upgrade screen. It is the only current source there is.
Is there a free trial?
Not in the usual sense. There is no advertised time-limited trial of the paid tier that we can verify from the platform's own pages, so treat any site promising one with suspicion.
In practice the free episodes are the trial, with one thing worth being clear about: they are a trial of the series, not of the adult content, because the adult content starts after they end. Two full episodes from each series, across as many series as you care to open, is a longer sample than most trials give, and it costs nothing but a registration. For a catalogue series that is two of five episodes before you are asked for anything.
Do the free episodes stay available?
They behave like a catalogue rather than a broadcast. The episodes sit on the platform and play on demand, and the free allowance is a property of the series rather than a countdown attached to your account, so it is not something you can spend. We have seen no sign of a drop schedule or an expiry window.
The caveat is that Candy AI publishes no retention policy, so nobody outside the company can promise a series will still be there next year. If a series named here disappears, or its free allowance changes, our per-series ratings are where that gets recorded.
Is there a free way to watch the paid episodes?
No, and the pages claiming otherwise are not offering what they say. There is no leaked archive, no mirror, no download that unlocks episodes three onwards.
The search keeps coming up because it looks like a search for something withheld. It is not. The NSFW episodes are not hidden, censored or leaked. They are the back three of the same five-episode run, behind an ordinary subscription, on the platform that made them. The free part is free and safe for work, the paid part is paid and explicit, and there is no third door.

candyaishorts.fyi is an independent information site. It is not owned by, operated by or affiliated with Candy AI, and it has no access to the platform beyond what any registered user sees.

Everything in Candy Shorts is AI generated. Some series are made with real adult creators who licensed their likeness, Bonnie Blue and Riley Reid among them, so the performer is a real person who agreed to it while the footage itself is still generated. In every other series no real person is depicted at all.
