Quick answer

Episode 1 of every series plays free with no account, and episode 2 is free once you create a free account. Nothing after episode 2 is free: each later episode costs 12 tokens on most series, about 10.2 on sale. The silent previews on this site are cut from episode 1.

Exactly what costs nothing

The free part is the same on all 31 series, which makes it easy to plan. Episode 1 opens in a browser with no account at all. Episode 2 asks for a free account and nothing else. That is the whole free walk-in, and it holds on standard series, sale series and the two star series alike.

The postcards above this text add a third free look: each one plays a short silent preview cut from episode 1. Use them to sort the premises you like from the ones you don't, then open episode 1 itself for the full opener with sound.

Everything from episode 3 onward is paid, by tokens or through Premium. No site offers the full episodes for free, and pages that promise it are fakes. The real episodes play only on Candy AI, in the Shorts section, in a browser on a computer or phone. There is no Candy Shorts app to download, so the free part costs nothing but a minute of your time.

The free openers that make the best case

Long openers are worth watching first, because a longer episode 1 shows you more of the story before any decision. Our value score gives that opener length 20 % of the weight, and 90 seconds or more earns full marks.

Snowed-In with Stepmom has the longest opener in the catalog at 95 seconds, and it ranks #1 of 31 for value. Riley First, Regina Next follows at 88 seconds, a Good value series at #17 of 31 with 36 tokens to finish. She Was Sent to Kill Me runs 85 seconds and sits at #10.

Two of the Value Picks also open generously. Kiss My Enemy gives 83 seconds and then 4 paid episodes on sale, 40.8 tokens in all. Hot Shot gives 81 seconds and finishes for 30.6 tokens on sale.

These openers are worth the detour even with no plan to pay. The bubbles behind them are our own value score, drawn from catalog figures, and they never score the plot itself.

Knowing when to stop after episode 2

Stopping after the free part is a perfectly sound choice. Two episodes are enough to tell whether a premise holds you, and nothing obliges you to buy the rest. No card is needed for either of them.

Spend tokens only on a series you would finish. A standard series asks 36 tokens for episodes 3 to 5, so a half-hearted start wastes most of a Premium month of 100 tokens. Our page on what 12 tokens buy shows each paid episode one by one.

Start with the five Value Picks at the top of our value list to stretch tokens further, and read our tips to spend fewer tokens before you commit. The button opens episode 1 for free; you sign up only if you want episode 2.

Every series in this guide opens with 2 free episodes on Candy AI. Watch those first, then decide if the rest is worth the tokens.
