Candy.ai

Candy.ai is one of the most feature-broad apps in this category: text chat, voice, AI-generated images and video are all part of the same subscription, built around character creation tools and more than 100 pre-built personas to start from rather than a blank persona builder. That breadth is the product's whole pitch, and it is a genuinely different shape from the text-and-image apps that make up most of this list.

The operator is EverAI Limited, registered in Malta under company number C107181 and named as the contracting entity in Candy.ai's own terms of service, which puts disputes under Maltese courts and processing under GDPR as an EU member state. A related Malta holding company, EverAI Holding Ltd, sits above it, and a similarly named UK-registered company exists separately — the Malta entity is the one that actually contracts with users.

There is a free trial to start with, and paid access runs on monthly, quarterly or yearly plans, listed on its own subscriptions page at €13.99 a month, €8.99 a month on a 3-month plan and €3.99 a month on a 12-month plan.

The privacy policy sets out GDPR rights but does not state where servers are located, and says data may be transferred outside the EU, including to the United States, so residency is an open question worth putting to the vendor directly before subscribing.

What Candy.ai does well

• Text, voice, image and video chat in one subscription
• Character builder plus 100+ ready-made personas
• Maltese company, EU jurisdiction under GDPR
• Free trial before any payment
• Billing shown as "EverAI" on card statements

Where Candy.ai falls short

• Lowest rates require prepaying 3 or 12 months
• No stated hosting region or named certification
• Related holding and UK-registered entities add a layer to check
• Newer addition to this category with less track record here

Standout feature. Text, voice, image and video in one subscription, from a Maltese company that contracts under EU law.
