Read renewal and usage conditions.

Candy AI’s terms describe recurring subscriptions and token-based features. Cancellation stops the next renewal while access continues to the paid period’s end; remaining tokens then expire. Cancellation is not a blanket refund promise. The terms also describe moderation and possible manual review, so we do not label chats confidential or anonymous. Read the provider’s terms.

Second AI example

Kupid AI: read the billing period.

The five October 8 prices below were rechecked on October 9, 2026 and matched. USD was confirmed by the account holder. These are selected pricing-page labels, before final checkout; no purchase was made.

The later session said “You can cancel anytime”; it did not repeat the earlier no-renewal claim. A single annual payment does not by itself establish whether the plan renews. Keep the earlier offer below separate from the current session.

What is included, and what remains unknown?

Candy AI · Premium

Text and tokens are separate.

Official help says regular chat remains available without extra tokens. Images, video and voice features can require a top-up after the balance runs out.

Annual subscribers receive 100 tokens monthly, rather than the year’s allowance upfront. The cost per image, video or voice unit was not established.

Chat and additional tokens · Monthly replenishment

A separate Premium Plus help article lists 330 monthly tokens. Its price was not verified, so that allowance is not assigned to the Premium quotes above. Premium Plus source.

Kupid AI · Provider allowances

Keep weekly and monthly limits separate.

  • Pro: 25 photos, 8 videos and 12 voice-message minutes per week.
  • Ultra: 75 photos, 25 videos and 35 voice-message minutes per week.
  • Lifetime: 200 photos, 66 videos and 35 voice-message minutes per month.

Choose the interaction first.

Conversation with an AI

Check the entire subscription charge, renewal, token allowance and cost of the features you expect to use. A text allowance does not establish how much voice or generated media you can obtain.

A live human session

Check the selected room’s current quote, minimum duration and required balance. Use dated estimates to understand the calculation, then verify the room before spending.

A payment comparison, not a quality ranking.

This first pass covers two AI providers’ public offers and our existing live-room evidence. It does not represent the AI market, establish a cheaper category, or convert messages into minutes. A preliminary text pilot records two persona sessions and a subscription gate. Controlled quality tests, latency, voice usage, moderation outcomes and paid features remain unverified.

Next evidence needed: final checkout totals, feature-level extra costs, quota reset rules and completed usage tests. Our versioned text-test protocol and fixed prompts are available; no controlled runs have been completed.
