Candy AI alternatives for Dutch users: allowances, costs and account controls
Compare 12 Candy AI alternatives for Dutch users by free allowance, USD and euro prices, BTW notes, memory tools, age checks and account deletion rules.

In this article
18+ only. This page covers chat services for adults and fictional adult characters.
Most people looking for Candy AI alternatives have a practical problem, and it shows up in Candy's own published terms. The free introduction is 5 chat messages across all characters, 1 created character and 1 generated image, and the terms say nothing about a daily renewal. Premium is displayed as 9.99 for the first month with a dollar symbol and renews at 13.99. The quarterly charge is 26.97 and the yearly charge is 47.88. Standard Premium adds 100 tokens a month and Premium Plus adds 330, but Candy's public pages list neither token pack prices nor a cost per action. For a buyer in the Netherlands, none of these amounts is confirmed as a euro checkout with 21% BTW included. The listed payment methods are card, crypto, Apple Pay and Google Pay, so iDEAL is not one of them.
Two recent details add to the question. Candy's privacy policy is dated 19 October 2026 and allows chats to be used for AI training, with possible human review of de-identified interactions. When we checked Candy's Trustpilot address on 28 October 2026, it showed a profile-removal notice. The notice does not say which guideline was involved, so we do not repeat any earlier score here.
We checked the services below on 28 and 29 October 2026. They are sorted by what we could document: recurring free access, published costs, memory tools, privacy terms and age checks. Affiliate payouts have no effect on the order. Our Candy AI review describes the starting account in full, including how to cancel and delete it.
What a useful replacement should do better
A replacement only helps if it fixes the reason you are leaving. A bigger character catalogue is no use if the actual problem is a five-message preview or an unclear monthly bill. The seven selection questions below rely on published facts; displayed ratings follow the site-wide eight-criterion methodology.
- Recurring free access. A daily allowance, such as Nomi's 50 messages or Secrets AI's 20, is a different thing from a one-off introduction. Candy's 5 messages, GirlfriendGPT's illustrative 10 to 20 messages and Secrets AI's 100-message ceiling for custom characters are totals. They do not refill each day.
- Published cost per action. Some services price each image, call or video in their own currency. OurDream lists 5 Dreamcoins for an in-chat image and 50 per voice-call minute. Secrets AI lists 50 Moments for a Premium image. Candy's public pages give no way to turn its 100 monthly tokens into a number of completed actions.
- Currency and BTW clarity. A dollar sign does not prove the price is in US dollars, and a US-dollar price is not a Dutch total. Where a store or provider shows euro amounts, as SpicyChat and the Dutch App Store listings for Janitor+ and Character.AI do, the starting figure is clearer. You still have to check BTW inclusion at checkout.
- Documented memory tools. Nomi's Mind Maps, Secrets AI's automatic per-companion memories, SpicyChat's published context sizes and Character.AI's memory pins are published features. None of them is a measured recall result.
- Privacy and deletion. We compared jurisdiction, training terms, retention periods and how account deletion works when a subscription is still active.
- Age checks. Most adult services rely on self-declaration. A few use third-party checks, such as selfie estimation or document verification, in some countries.
- Dialogue quality. We have no measured Dutch-language result for any service here. A list of interface languages says nothing about conversation quality.
No service wins on all seven. The order below follows the first five criteria most closely, because those can be checked against published terms.
If you are leaving because of this, look here
Start with your reason for switching, then compare only the services that deal with it.
- If the 5-message free introduction is too short, Nomi gives 50 messages a day with no end date. Secrets AI gives 20 messages a day, and the counter resets 24 hours after the first message. CrushOn.AI advertises unlimited chats on its free models plus 100 Pro credits a month.
- If you want to see euro prices before signing up, SpicyChat publishes €5.95 a month or €60 a year for its entry tier. The Dutch App Store lists Janitor+ at €14.99 a month or €99 a year. These are listed prices, not completed checkouts, so check BTW inclusion on the payment screen.
- If tokens make Candy's monthly cost hard to predict, OurDream charges 0 Dreamcoins for standard subscriber text chat and publishes rates for images, calls and video. Secrets AI and Nomi also publish their per-action costs.
- If you would rather not create an account at all, Perchance's character chat describes unlimited messages without signup and stores chats in your browser. The catch is that clearing site data can remove them, and we could not establish who operates it.
- If retention after closing an account worries you, compare Nomi's deletion window of about 28 days with GirlfriendGPT, which normally keeps data for 6 years after closure. Candy keeps account data generally up to 3 years after last activity and financial records for 10 years.
- If you want a provider registered elsewhere in the EU, Promptchan's operator is in Ireland and Nastia's is in France. Candy's operator, EverAI Limited, is in Malta.
- If you want a stronger age check than a click-through, SpicyChat, Nastia and Character.AI describe third-party or independent verification in some regions.
- If you no longer want adult content at all, Character.AI does not allow pornographic content, though its court-supervised sale process from October 2026 raises a continuity question.

Candy and the alternatives side by side
We checked these figures on 28 and 29 October 2026. Where a price appears only with a dollar symbol, we report it as displayed. We have not converted US-dollar amounts or added BTW to any figure.
| Service | Free access as published | Paid entry point | Point to check in the Netherlands |

12 alternatives and who each one suits
The order is based on documented free access, cost transparency, memory tools, privacy terms and age checks. Displayed ratings use the same documented criteria as the reviews; they do not measure tested dialogue quality.
Nomi: best for a daily free quota and documented memory tools
- Price / monthUS$15.99/mo
- Free tier50 msg/day
- NSFWyes
- Age checkself declaration
- PlatformsWeb, iOS
If Candy's 5-message preview is why you are leaving, Nomi is the most direct answer. The free plan has no end date, the official wiki gives 50 messages per day, and you do not need a card to start. Free messages are capped at 400 characters each, compared with 800 on a paid plan. Without a subscription, voice features become read-only, so in practice the free plan is a text plan.
An official Nomi article checked on 2026-10-28 lists Standard at US$15.99 a month, US$39.99 per quarter or US$99.99 a year. It covers up to 10 companions, up to 10 group chats, voice calls and subscription video. Once daily allowances run out, Nomi Credits pay for extras: 1 credit per selfie, art or edit request, 6 for a standard-definition video and 10 for high definition. You can only buy credits with an active subscription, and they do not expire.
Nomi documents Mind Maps, backstories and shared notes as memory tools. These are published features, not measured recall. Adult text is allowed, but the current wiki does not permit nude companion photos, so Nomi is better suited to conversation than to explicit imagery. The wiki says chats are not end-to-end encrypted. Deleting an account removes personal information within about 28 days, with exceptions such as support emails, and age is self-declared through a date of birth.
What we like
- 50 free messages per day with no end date
- Memory tools documented: Mind Maps, backstories, shared notes
- Credit costs per selfie and video are published
What could be better
- Plans published in US dollars; BTW inclusion not confirmed
- No nude images under current wiki policy
- Chats are not end-to-end encrypted
Secrets AI: best for a daily allowance plus published media costs
- Price / monthUS$19.99/mo
- Free tier20 msg/day
- NSFWyes
- Age checkself declaration
- PlatformsWeb
Secrets AI has both a recurring free quota and a finite one. Free accounts can send 20 messages a day, and the counter resets 24 hours after the first message. Chats with custom characters also count against a separate total of 100 messages. That is not 100 messages a day. The first custom character is included, and each additional one costs 500 Moments.
Premium costs US$19.99 a month or US$109.99 a year and comes with 8,000 Moments a month and unlimited messaging. Ultimate costs US$39.99 a month or US$319.99 a year and comes with 15,000 Moments. The cost table we checked on 2026-10-29 lists 50 Moments for a Premium image, 50 per audio-call minute, 600 for a fixed 8-second basic video without audio, and 10 Moments per 100 characters of text-to-speech. Monthly grants reset. Purchased top-ups do not expire, but you need an active paid membership to use them. The official tier guide contradicts itself about calls on the free plan, so do not count on a free call.
Memories are saved automatically for each companion. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, Discover or crypto with a US$20 minimum, and charges appear as S LABS INC. If you cancel, your chats, memories and characters stay, and the plan returns to free at the end of the paid period. The refund policy describes a 14-day EU withdrawal right, adjusted proportionally if you have used the service. Trustpilot showed 4.5 from 287 reviews on 2026-10-28.
What we like
- 20 free messages per day plus 100 with custom characters
- Moments price list covers images, calls, voice and video
- Chats and characters remain after cancellation
What could be better
- Plans in US dollars; no confirmed iDEAL or euro checkout
- Top-ups need an active paid plan
- Free voice calls not promised
SpicyChat: best for euro list prices and published context sizes
- Price / month5,95 €/mo
- Free tierNSFW on free
- NSFWyes
- Age checkthird party
- PlatformsWeb
SpicyChat is one of the few services here that prints euro amounts. Since 2026-09-08, Get A Taste costs €5.95 a month or €60 a year, True Supporter €19.95 or €199.95, and I'm All In €29.95 or €299.95. The euro figures are the same numbers as the dollar figures, and SpicyChat does not say whether BTW is already included. Read the total at checkout instead of adding 21% yourself.
The free plan includes core chat, the character library and 3 user personas. SpicyChat does not publish a daily message number. On memory, the latest comparison table lists context sizes of 4,000, 8,000 and 32,000 tokens across the paid tiers, while older documentation still says 16,000 for the top tier. Either way, these are capacity figures, not recall tests. Text-to-speech is only on the top tier.
Card payments renew. Crypto and PaybyBank payments are one-time and do not renew, which can make budgeting easier. The official pages do not confirm iDEAL or SEPA. The statement descriptor is NDAI.CC, and the operator is NextDay AI USA Inc. Age assurance uses a video selfie, with possible ID fallback, in listed regions such as the UK, France and Italy. The Netherlands is not on that list, which does not mean it is exempt. You delete your account under Profile, Advanced, Delete Account, and deletion cannot be undone. SpicyChat has no affiliate relationship with this site.
What we like
- Euro list prices from €5.95/month
- Published context size per paid tier
- Crypto payments do not auto-renew
What could be better
- No published daily free message number
- BTW inclusion of euro prices not stated
- Native iOS app removed; web app or Android APK instead
OurDream: best for predictable text costs on a paid plan
- Price / monthUS$19.99/mo
- NSFWyes
- Age checkself declaration
- PlatformsWeb
OurDream suits people whose main complaint about Candy is not knowing what tokens will cost. Its cost guide dated 2026-03-02 charges 0 Dreamcoins for standard text chat on a paid plan. Free accounts pay 1 coin per message, and Genius or Lively Genius responses cost 1 each. Media is billed separately: 5 coins for an in-chat image, 10 for creating a character with two images, 50 per voice-call minute and 100 for a 5-second standard video.
Standard Monthly is US$19.99 with 1,000 Dreamcoins at purchase and at each renewal. Standard Annual is US$119.88 paid upfront and shown as US$9.99 a month. It starts with 2,000 coins, including a one-time bonus of 1,000, and then gives 1,000 each later month. The monthly equivalent is a calculation, not a monthly charge. You can spend unused coins until the paid period ends, and they are not restored if you subscribe again later.
Official help says PayPal is not supported. There is no native app, only the browser and a web app you can add to your home screen. You cannot upload reference photos. The operator, Dream Studio USA, Inc., is in Delaware, and the privacy policy allows user content to be used for AI training. Deleting the account cancels the subscription, forfeits remaining coins and takes 24 to 48 hours. The Trustpilot page showed a removal notice on 2026-10-28.
What we like
- Standard paid text chat costs 0 coins
- Detailed per-action coin list
- Account deletion also cancels the subscription
What could be better
- PayPal not supported
- Prices in US dollars; no confirmed euro checkout
- Remaining coins lost on deletion or lapse
CrushOn.AI: best for unlimited free-model chat with a paid upgrade path
- Price / monthUS$5.99/mo
- NSFWlimited
- PlatformsWeb
CrushOn.AI separates its free models from its Pro models, and you need to keep the two apart. The current landing page offers unlimited chats on free models, 100 Pro credits a month and 20 Inspiration Replies a day. The 100 credits are monthly, not daily. An older subscription wiki describes a 100-message monthly cap and a tier that no longer exists, so check which model a counter refers to.
Plans start at US$5.99 a month for Standard with 2,000 Pro credits. Premium at US$14.99 adds 6,000 Pro credits and advertised long-term memory. Higher tiers go from Luxe at US$39.99 up to Imperial at US$199.99, which includes 125,000 Pro credits and 30 custom voice slots. Chat packages require an active membership and only cover Pro models.
Voice is available in several languages including German and Spanish, but not Dutch. Adult content sits behind a Hidden Content switch, and character images depend on how each creator set up the character. You cancel through the platform you originally paid on, such as Apple, Google, SubscribeStar or Paymentwall. Messages can only be deleted within 24 hours of sending, and an active subscription may block account deletion. Trustpilot showed 1.8 from 22 reviews on 2026-10-28.
What we like
- Unlimited chat on free models
- Low US$5.99 entry plan
- Long-term memory advertised on Premium
What could be better
- Free and Pro counters are easy to confuse
- Message deletion limited to the last 24 hours
- Active subscription may block account deletion
Janitor AI: best for a Dutch App Store price in euro
- Price / month14,99 €/mo
- PlatformsWeb, iOS
Janitor AI is mainly of interest to iPhone users who want to see a euro amount before paying. The Dutch App Store listing we checked on 2026-10-28 shows Janitor+ at €14.99 a month or €99 a year. That is the price on the listing, not a completed checkout, though buying through the App Store does give you the familiar cancellation route in Apple's subscription settings.
The app is called Janitor: Interactive Stories and is published by JanitorAI, INC from Delaware. It is free to install, with optional Janitor+ purchases. No numeric free message or memory allowance is published. The listing is rated 18+ and mentions in-app age assurance, but it does not name a provider or describe the procedure. The interface is listed in English only.
Privacy is the weak point for a careful buyer. The App Store privacy label is the developer's own declaration, and Apple does not verify it. From the store page alone, we cannot say anything about end-to-end encryption, training rules, retention periods or how to delete an account. Trustpilot showed 2.5 from 35 reviews on 2026-10-28, and the Canadian App Store showed 4.2 from 467 ratings. Janitor AI has no affiliate relationship with this site.
What we like
- Euro price on the Dutch App Store
- Billing and cancellation through Apple
- 18+ rating with in-app age assurance listed
What could be better
- No published free allowance
- English interface only
- Privacy terms limited to self-reported store label
Perchance: best for chatting without an account
- Price / monthFree tier
- NSFWyes
- Age checknone
- PlatformsWeb
Perchance fits anyone searching for an alternative that needs no login. Its AI Character Chat generator describes unlimited free messages with no signup and no daily cap. You do not need an email address, phone number or card. That is the provider's claim, not something we stress-tested, but it is the opposite of Candy's 5-message total.
It also works differently. Conversations are kept in your browser's local storage, and the text-plugin documentation says prompts and responses are not stored on the server. No independent audit confirms this. Editable summaries can extend the context. The drawback is fragility: clearing site data can delete chats, nothing syncs between devices, and shared links or exports show the content to whoever receives them. The character chat page advertises free generated images, but that feature belongs to this generator, not to every Perchance page.
The text-plugin documentation says adult themes are available on request, but we found no content policy covering the whole platform. When we checked on 2026-10-28, we could not establish a public operator identity, an age-assurance procedure or full privacy terms. Trustpilot showed 2.8 from 12 reviews. Perchance has no affiliate relationship with this site.
What we like
- No account, email or card required
- Unlimited messages claimed
- Chats stored locally rather than on a server (provider statement)
What could be better
- Clearing browser data can remove chats
- No public operator identity or age-check procedure established
- Rules can differ between generators
GirlfriendGPT: best for large paid message allocations
- Price / monthFree tier
- NSFWyes
- Age checkself declaration
- PlatformsWeb
Check the domain before you sign up. The service is gptgirlfriend.online, run by NextDay AI Incorporated in Montreal, with subsidiaries in Delaware and Cyprus. Its terms describe an illustrative free introduction of 10 to 20 messages in total across 2 to 3 characters. That is a total, not a daily grant, and your actual account may get a different amount. You can earn extra credits by completing tasks.
Paid tiers come with 5,000 to 20,000 messages a month, and unused messages do not roll over. Media coin rates per plan were not published. You install it as a browser web app or from an official Android package, not from a store. The policy footer shows Visa, Mastercard and Discover, and CCBill is supported. The official pages do not confirm iDEAL or a euro total.
You cancel through Manage subscription, or through Billing and Cancel Subscription if you paid via CCBill, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Refunds are generally limited to payment errors or technical problems. Requests that do not go through CCBill are reviewed case by case within 14 days. To have your data erased, you contact support. The privacy policy normally keeps personal data for 6 years after the account is closed, longer than most services here. Trustpilot showed 2.7 from only 4 reviews on 2026-10-28.
What we like
- Large monthly paid message allocations
- Browser and Android installation options
- EU subsidiary listed for GDPR purposes
What could be better
- Free introduction is a small total, not daily
- Personal data normally kept 6 years after closure
- Refunds limited to errors or technical problems
Promptchan: best for an EU-based operator and image-focused use
- Price / month$14.99/mo
- NSFWyes
- Age checkself declaration
- PlatformsWeb
Promptchan is run by VisionAI Labs Limited in Dublin, so its privacy obligations fall under EU rules, just as Candy's do in Malta. Plans are shown with a dollar symbol, and the ISO currency is not confirmed. Plus is 14.99 a month with 100 Gems and twice the chat allowance. Premium is 23.99 with 400 Gems and five times the allowance. Pro is 33.99 with 800 Gems, unlimited casual image generation and unlimited chat. Free accounts get daily Gems, but Promptchan does not publish how many.
Image styles include photorealistic and anime. Only images generated inside Promptchan can be animated, and you may not upload outside photos. Voice messages cost 1 Gem each. Calls cost 2 Gems, but the billing unit is not given, so this is not a per-minute rate. Paid subscribers get 50% off extra Gems.
The refund policy accepts subscription refund requests within 30 days of a charge, as long as there has been no significant AI use. You have to cancel first, and crypto payments cannot be refunded. Older Apple or Google subscriptions must be cancelled in those stores and do not unlock website benefits. Account deletion is at the bottom of Settings: the account is disabled straight away and removed after a 30-day recovery window. Unsaved generations expire after 24 hours. Trustpilot showed 4.3 from 195 reviews on 2026-10-28.
What we like
- Operator registered in Ireland
- Conditional 30-day refund window
- Clear deletion timeline with recovery period
What could be better
- Currency of displayed prices not confirmed
- Free daily Gem amount not published
- Legacy app subscriptions can bill without website access
Nastia: best for a French operator and an independent age check
- Price / monthUS$15.99/mo
- Free tierNSFW on free
- NSFWyes
- Age checkthird party
- PlatformsWeb
Nastia is run by Nastia Cybernetics in France (SIREN 982046385), and the terms state that hosting is in the US. The Unlimited plan is published at US$15.99 a month. The terms say applicable taxes are added on top, so this figure explicitly excludes BTW. The free tier includes one companion with daily token limits. No number is published, adult content is available on the free tier, and you do not need a card. The same page uses the word unlimited elsewhere, so treat the free tier as limited.
Age handling goes further than a simple click-through. Users normally declare that they are 18 or over. In countries that signup shows as requiring it, an independent check follows, using on-device age estimation, a card check or ID. Nastia says it receives only the result, time and country, not the document or photo. You can pay with Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Visa branding appears on the homepage, but the terms specify Mastercard.
Paid marketing advertises persistent memory, custom voices, 4K selfies and 1080p video. These are marketing claims, and we have not tested the output. To delete your account, you must first cancel the membership. After that, you go through Account, Danger zone and a typed confirmation with your password, and deletion is normally immediate. Some financial and enforcement records can be kept for up to 7 years. Trustpilot showed 2.1 from 19 reviews on 2026-10-28. Nastia has no affiliate relationship with this site.
What we like
- EU operator in France
- Independent age verification where required
- Immediate deletion once membership is cancelled
What could be better
- Taxes added on top of US$15.99
- Free daily token limit not quantified
- Card support limited to Mastercard in the terms
Character.AI: best for unlimited free chat without adult content
- Price / monthUS$9.99/mo
- NSFWno
- Age checkthird party
- PlatformsWeb, iOS, Android
Character.AI is a non-adult option for people leaving Candy because they want ordinary roleplay instead of explicit material. Pornographic content is not allowed, and no paid plan removes the filter. The official FAQ promises unlimited free messages, with a possible waiting room when the service is busy. Free accounts get 15 memory pins, and the Lite plan gets 30.
The Dutch App Store lists Character.AI+ at €9.99 and €99.99 and Character.AI Lite at €2.99 and €5.99, with no duration labels. Do not assume which one is monthly. The official web prices are US$9.99 a month or US$94.99 a year for c.ai+, and Lite starts at US$4.99. A Dutch interface is listed. Conversation quality in Dutch has not been measured.
Age assurance runs through Persona: age estimation, selfie verification when needed and ID as a fallback. Biometric data is deleted within 7 days. Two dated events are relevant. On 2026-07-03 the Italian Garante imposed a €158,000 fine, which can be appealed. On 2026-10-12 the company announced a voluntary Chapter 11 sale process, with a timetable aiming for late November or early December 2026. It says billing continues and that the platform may wind down if no viable bid comes in. Character.AI has no affiliate relationship with this site.
What we like
- Unlimited free messages
- Third-party age assurance via Persona
- Dutch interface listed
What could be better
- No adult content
- Court-supervised sale creates continuity risk
- Dutch App Store SKUs lack duration labels
Saving money: annual terms, promotions and token rules
On most of these services, paying for a year upfront saves the most. Over twelve months the difference is large. Candy's yearly charge of 47.88 compares with 167.88 for twelve renewals at 13.99, both shown with a dollar symbol. OurDream's US$119.88 annual plan compares with US$239.88 for twelve monthly payments. Secrets AI Premium is US$109.99 a year against US$239.88 monthly, and Nomi Standard is US$99.99 against US$191.88. In euro, SpicyChat Get A Taste is €60 a year against €71.40 for twelve months, and Janitor+ on the Dutch App Store is €99 against €179.88.
An annual plan ties you in for twelve months, so it only saves money if you keep using the service. To try out how an account works, one paid month costs less, as long as you note the renewal price. Candy's 9.99 first month renews at 13.99. Secrets AI's seasonal sales only discount the first term. SpicyChat subscribers who joined before 2026-09-08 keep their old price until they change plans or let the plan lapse, and downgrading also loses it.
Token rules change what a plan really costs.
- Candy Premium Plus gives a 10% top-up bonus on quarterly and yearly plans. Secrets AI gives 10% on Premium and 15% on Ultimate.
- Nomi Credits and purchased Secrets AI top-ups do not expire. OurDream's remaining coins can only be used until the paid period ends.
- OurDream's annual plan starts with 2,000 coins, but later months bring 1,000. Budget on the recurring figure.
- Candy does not publish pack prices, so there is no way to state subscription plus typical token spending as a monthly total in euro.
How you pay also affects the bill. SpicyChat's crypto payments do not renew, which avoids unwanted renewals, while Promptchan's crypto purchases are fixed-term and cannot be refunded. If a checkout already shows a euro amount that includes tax, do not add 21% BTW to it. If it shows US dollars, the euro figure on your statement depends on the final checkout currency.
Candy's terms (section 10.4.3, checked 2026-10-29) give EU users 14 days from the purchase confirmation email to withdraw from an initial purchase. The value of services already used is deducted, the refund follows within 14 days, and renewals are not covered.
Age checks, privacy and your bank statement
Every service in this comparison is for adults aged 18 or over, and the adult services limit characters to fictional adults. Their policies prohibit sexual content involving minors, and several prohibit using someone's likeness without permission. These limits apply whichever plan you pay for.
Age checks differ. Candy, OurDream, Secrets AI, GirlfriendGPT, Nomi and Promptchan rely on self-declaration, although Candy, OurDream and Secrets AI reserve the right to add further checks. SpicyChat uses a video selfie with ID fallback in listed countries. Nastia runs independent verification where signup shows it is required. Character.AI uses Persona. None of these methods has a procedure specific to the Netherlands.
Privacy terms differ in ways that matter once you stop using a service.
- Candy (Malta) allows AI training on chats, keeps account data generally up to 3 years after last activity, keeps financial records for 10 years and does not claim end-to-end encryption. You delete your account through My Profile, Settings, Danger Zone, Delete Account. The privacy contact is [email protected].
- OurDream (United States) also allows training on user content, and shared popular characters can remain after an account is deleted.
- Nomi says it has no end-to-end encryption and removes personal information within about 28 days of deletion.
- GirlfriendGPT normally keeps personal data for 6 years after closure.
- Perchance keeps chats in the browser, so there is no server account, but there is also no backup.
Cancelling and deleting are separate steps. On Candy you cancel through My Profile, Settings, Unsubscribe and keep access until the billing period ends, and deletion is a separate route. CrushOn.AI may block deletion while a subscription is active, and Nastia requires you to cancel first.
Charges often appear under a company name rather than the app name: EverAI for Candy, S LABS INC for Secrets AI and NDAI.CC for SpicyChat. Reddit users have described unexpected EverAI charges and mixed refund experiences, but these individual accounts do not establish fraud. If you know the descriptor, you can match a charge before disputing it.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free alternative to Candy AI with a daily allowance?
Yes. Nomi's free plan includes 50 messages a day with no end date, and Secrets AI includes 20 messages a day. CrushOn.AI advertises unlimited chats on its free models, and Character.AI offers unlimited free messages without adult content. Candy's free access is 5 messages in total, not per day (checked 2026-10-28).
Are there Candy AI alternatives without login?
Perchance's AI Character Chat describes unlimited free messages without signup, email, phone or card. Chats are stored in your browser, so clearing site data can remove them. When we checked on 2026-10-28, we could not establish a public operator identity or an age-assurance procedure.
Candy AI vs OurDream: what is the main difference?
The main difference is how paid chat is counted. OurDream charges 0 Dreamcoins for standard text chat on a paid plan and publishes per-action rates for images, calls and video. Candy adds 100 tokens a month on Standard Premium but does not publish per-action costs. OurDream's monthly plan is US$19.99. Candy displays 9.99 for the first month and 13.99 on renewal, with a dollar symbol. The Candy AI review covers Candy's side in detail.
Can I pay for these services with iDEAL?
The official pages do not confirm iDEAL for any service in this comparison. Candy lists card, crypto, Apple Pay and Google Pay. SpicyChat lists card and crypto, and whether PaybyBank and local methods appear depends on the checkout. OurDream explicitly does not support PayPal. App Store purchases, such as Janitor+ or Character.AI, use your Apple payment method.
Are the prices shown including 21% BTW?
For most services, this is not confirmed. Prices in US dollars or with a dollar symbol are not Dutch totals. Nastia's terms say taxes are added on top. SpicyChat's euro prices do not say whether BTW is included. Go by the total on the final payment screen, and do not add 21% to an amount that already includes it.
Which alternative documents memory features?
Nomi documents Mind Maps, backstories and shared notes. Secrets AI saves memories automatically for each companion. SpicyChat publishes context sizes of 4,000 to 32,000 tokens by paid tier. Character.AI offers 15 memory pins on the free plan and 30 on Lite. These are published features, not measured recall results.
Can I get my money back after buying Candy Premium?
Candy's terms, checked 2026-10-29, give EU users 14 days from the purchase confirmation email to withdraw from an initial purchase. You do this with a clear statement, for example by email to [email protected]. The value of services already used is deducted, and the refund follows within 14 days. Renewals are not covered.
Is an AI girlfriend app a real person?
No. These services use AI models to generate replies for fictional characters. The adult services in this comparison require characters to be adults, and Candy's policy prohibits deceptive impersonation. Our AI girlfriend app overview explains how the main services differ.
