What Candy Shorts Cost, Counted Character by Character

The free part: two episodes with every lead

Before a single token moves, you meet the lead twice. The first episode needs no account at all, while the second may ask you to register for free. Neither shows adult content: they are SFW previews that introduce the woman and her situation, and the explicit material waits in the paid episodes. In most series episode 1 runs a bit over a minute, so the free part works as an audition: long enough to judge a lead on, far too short to tell you how the story ends.

The audition repeats for every series a character leads, which is where the cast angle pays off. Veronica Parker leads five series, so she hands you ten free episodes before you spend anything: two each as the stepmother of House Rules, the boss's wife on the overnight train of Midnight Compartment, and her three other roles. Mona Newman, also at five, does the same.

Twelve tokens or thirty: the price follows the cast

From episode 3 on, every paid episode in a series costs the same, and the amount depends on who plays the lead. Candy's own characters, such as Veronica Parker, Mona Newman and Diana Demont, cost 12 tokens per paid episode. The licensed digital twins of real creators cost 30: that group is Bonnie Blue, Lexi Luna, Asa Akira and Riley Reid.

Nothing else moves that price. A series flagged as new costs what an older one does, a series scored 5 for explicitness costs what a 3 does, and a 20-episode run charges the same 12 per episode as a five-episode one. In the data, the license is what separates the two prices: 30 for a twin, 12 for an in-house lead.

As a ratio, one paid episode with a licensed twin costs what two and a half do with Veronica Parker. The series listing this guide reads gives no reason for the gap, so treat it as a pricing fact rather than an explanation. It has held for every twin series so far, from Riley Reid's three series to the one series each of the other three has.

What finishing one series costs

The total is the number of paid episodes times the price. Most series run five episodes, so three are paid: 36 tokens with an in-house lead and 90 with a licensed twin. Those two figures cover most of what Candy offers, and they are the ones worth remembering.

Longer series are all in-house so far, and they scale the same way. Kiss My Enemy, led by Brooke Madison, and Colette Ramsey's Dad's New Girlfriend run six episodes and cost 48 tokens. Isabella's Revelation, with Isabella Torres, runs seven: 60. Amanda Langford's The Man Next Door Knows has nine: 84. Mona's Worst Enemy and Emilia Vermont's Caught Between Sisters have fifteen: 156. YES MA'AM, with Diana Demont, has twenty: 216.

For scale, 90 tokens finishes one licensed series, or two in-house five-episode series with 18 tokens left over. The 20-episode YES MA'AM costs more than two licensed series together, 216 against 180.

What it costs to follow a character through her whole run

This is where the cast angle changes the arithmetic. Veronica Parker's five series are all five episodes long, so her whole run is 180 tokens. Mona Newman's five total 300, because four cost 36 each and Mona's Worst Enemy adds 156. Diana Demont's four reach 324, of which YES MA'AM is 216. Riley Reid's three cost a flat 90 each, 270 in all.

A few comparisons help. Two Riley Reid series cost exactly what Veronica Parker's complete run does, 180 tokens. Mila Nowak, Camilla Azarian, Margot Vey, Holly Donovan and Darkangel666 each lead three five-episode series, so 108 tokens covers any one of them in full, only 18 more than a single licensed series.

Colette Ramsey and Amanda Langford both land on 120, because each has one longer series among the shorter ones: Dad's New Girlfriend at six episodes for Colette, The Man Next Door Knows at nine for Amanda.

Spending fewer tokens on the character you want

Audition first, then buy the role. A lead rarely plays the same woman twice, so use the free episodes of each of her series and pay only for the ones that held your interest. For Riley Reid that choice is worth 180 tokens, the gap between buying all three series and buying one.

Start short with in-house leads. Their five-episode series cost 36 each, while the long arcs cost 156 or 216. If Mona Newman is the draw, My Stepsister Thinks I'm Pathetic is a 36-token way in, and Mona's Worst Enemy can wait until you know she is worth 156.

If episodes per token is what you care about, in-house leads win. At 12 tokens an episode, 90 tokens buys seven paid episodes of an in-house series with 6 left over, against three from a licensed twin.

What these numbers leave out

Everything here is in tokens, not money. Candy sets what its tokens cost and can change that or run a sale, so a money price printed on this page would be stale soon. The figure shown on the episode when you unlock it is the one that counts.

Series also grow. Candy presents its Shorts as a stream of fresh series, with new episodes arriving weekly, so a five-episode run today may be longer later, and its total with it. The totals here use the episode counts Candy lists now. Membership plans are a separate matter, and this guide does not track what they change.
