Every Candy AI Shorts episode you can watch for free

Free means an episode costs no tokens and needs no plan. It doesn’t always mean “no account”. Candy tests how far guests get before signing up: in our check of the public pages, candyshorts.com let visitors start episodes 1 and 2 without logging in, while candy.ai showed some visitors a free sign-up prompt after episode 1. So the honest label is free with a free account.

Signing up costs nothing, and it’s one login for both sites. Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right is the one series where the count depends on the site: a free candy.ai account plays episode 3 too, while guests on candyshorts.com get the usual two.

All 118 series and their 237 free episodes, A to Z. Tap a column heading to sort by free episodes, length, free share or the tokens it takes to finish the rest; each title opens its episode guide.

In the public catalogue, none: every one of the 118 series opens with at least two free episodes. You may still come across Candy titles you can’t sample. A few Spicy titles are visible only to signed-in members; they aren’t part of the public catalogue, so we can’t see or count their episodes.

If a series you saw advertised isn’t in the list above, that’s the likely reason, or it was renamed or removed after our last check in September 2026.

Just one: the series with three free episodes is Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right. It runs to 15 episodes, and episode 3 is priced at 0 tokens on candy.ai, so a free candy.ai account plays it; guests on candyshorts.com see the usual two. That makes 3 of its 15 episodes free (20%), against 13% on the other 15-episode series.

How far the free episodes take you depends on the length of the series. On a five-episode series, episodes 1 and 2 are 40% of the story: enough to meet the characters and reach the first turn. On My bestie betrayed me, the longest series at 34 episodes, the same two are 6%, closer to a trailer.

Want the most story for nothing? Start with the five-episode series. Planning a long binge such as YES MA'AM? Use the free episodes to check that you like the characters before you commit 156 tokens or more.

The same free account covers more than episodes. According to Candy’s help center (“What can I do as a free user?”, August 2026), you also get:

That’s enough to try a conversation with a Shorts lead: 99 of the 118 series credit a character who also has a chat profile on candy.ai.

We didn’t find one. When we checked Candy’s plans page on September 28, 2026, it listed the three paid plans and no trial, which makes the free episodes the trial in practice.

“Free Premium” is a different story. Shared logins, “premium unlocked” APKs and giveaway pages come from third parties, and they put your device, your account or your card at risk. We explain what “free full episode” uploads contain in a separate guide.

Paying makes sense once you know which series you want to finish, not before. Prices as of September 2026; check the checkout for your region.

The full breakdown of what the rest costs is on our price page, and the annual plan is the cheapest way to unlock several series.
