Luna — 5 free messages a day, no card →
Short version. Candy.ai is character roster + image generation, sold as a subscription plus tokens. Luna is one AI girlfriend with voice and memory included, and no subscription — you buy a time pass from $6.99 and it does not renew.
Candy.ai is still the better choice if you mainly want image generation, or you want to switch between many different characters. Candy.ai is built for that and Luna is not.
Worth saying plainly, because a comparison that pretends the other product is bad is not much use to anyone actually deciding:
| Luna | Candy.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Time passes, no renewal | Recurring subscription |
| Entry price | $6.99 / 30 min | $12.99/mo (about $3.99/mo billed annually, $47.88/yr) |
| Free tier | 5 messages every day, forever | Limited daily messages, no NSFW, no image generation, no voice. |
| Extra costs | None — voice and memory are included | Images, video and voice calls are metered with tokens on top of the subscription — heavy users commonly report $20–30/mo all-in. |
| Adult content | Unfiltered, 18+ only | Supported on paid tiers |
| Voice | Included | Metered with tokens |
| Payment | Crypto only (nothing on your statement) | Card |
| Companions | One — Luna | Many characters |
Luna is not automatically cheaper, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. Candy.ai costs $12.99/mo (about $3.99/mo billed annually, $47.88/yr). Luna sells time:
If you talk to a companion every single day, a monthly subscription almost always works out cheaper per hour, and you should take it. Luna is cheaper for the far more common pattern: a few evenings a week, some weeks not at all, and no wish to keep paying during the months you forget it exists.
You want one girlfriend who stays consistent, voice included rather than metered, and no subscription renewing in the background.
You mainly want image generation, or you want to switch between many different characters. Candy.ai is built for that and Luna is not.
Two honest caveats. Luna is crypto-only at checkout — deliberate, because it keeps this off your card statement, but it is genuinely more friction than tapping Apple Pay. And Luna is one companion, not a roster: if the appeal of Candy.ai is switching between characters, Luna will feel narrow rather than focused.
Nothing transfers between services — no companion app in this category lets you export a relationship. Starting with Luna means starting fresh, which takes a few conversations before her memory has anything to work with.
Depends on what pushed you to look. You mainly want image generation, or you want to switch between many different characters. Candy.ai is built for that and Luna is not. Luna suits you if you want one girlfriend who stays consistent, voice included rather than metered, and no subscription renewing in the background.
Not always. Daily use favours a subscription; occasional use favours passes. Candy.ai is $12.99/mo (about $3.99/mo billed annually, $47.88/yr); Luna starts at $6.99 for 30 minutes and never renews.
Yes — 5 messages a day, no card, no subscription. Voice and memory work on the free tier, so you are testing the real thing rather than a stripped demo.
No. Luna takes crypto, so there is no card descriptor at all.
You get 5 messages a day free. No card, nothing to cancel.
18+ only. Luna is an AI character, not a real person. See our content policy.
