“Paid from” is the cheapest monthly cost. When that price depends on yearly or quarterly billing, the table says so and adds the month-to-month price in brackets.

Which one is for you
Both are good at different things. Here is who each one suits.
Pick Candy.ai for…
A detailed character builder with pictures and video made inside the chat.
- A library of 100+ ready-made companions in both realistic and anime looks, along with an in-depth creator for your own
- Picture generation, short clips made from images, voice notes and live voice calls all sit under one roof
- The yearly plan brings the monthly cost down to 3.99 (charged as 47.88 once a year)
The catch: The free plan is tight: just 5 messages overall, a single custom character and a single image
Pick CrushOn.AI for…
Text roleplay with a choice of language models.
- Unlimited use of the free models on every plan, and the free tier adds 100 monthly credits for Pro models
- A big, well-tagged library of characters made by users, with group chat on paid plans
- Even free accounts get voice replies and custom voices
The catch: Pricing is complicated, with six tiers, monthly credits, a separate Pro models package and two virtual currencies

Which is cheaper, Candy.ai or CrushOn.AI?
Candy.ai costs less to start: its plans begin at $3.99/mo billed yearly ($13.99 month to month), compared with $4.91/mo billed yearly ($5.99 month to month) on CrushOn.AI. Without a long commitment the order flips: CrushOn.AI charges $5.99 a month and Candy.ai $13.99.
Which has a better free tier, Candy.ai or CrushOn.AI?
CrushOn.AI gives away more without payment (unlimited basic), while Candy.ai offers 5 msgs total. Free models can be used without limit, plus 100 message credits a month for Pro models (no Ultra access), 8K memory, 20 inspiration replies a day, shared servers that can slow down at busy times, voice replies and one custom voice slot. Group chat is not included, and history is wiped after 7 days without activity. When we tested on 27 September 2026, fresh chats opened on Carina 8K at 2 credits per message, so all 100 credits were spent after 50 messages with no prompt; the chat then showed "You are out of messages" and switched to the slower Free Carina model, which handled 44 further messages without stopping. Trial: we found no trial for paid tiers. The free tier does not expire.
