AI shorts free episodes: exactly what costs nothing
From AI Shorts FYI, plain facts on AI short series
AI shorts free episodes follow one rule on all three platforms: episode 1 opens with no account and episode 2 after a free sign-up. Payment starts at episode 3.

| Platform | Episode 1 | Episode 2 | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candy AI | Free, no account | Free with an account | Tokens, per episode |
| Dreamy Shorts | Free, no account | Free with an account | Premium |
| Secrets AI | Free, no account | Free once signed in | 500 Moments each |
The rule on each platform
The pattern is the same everywhere: two free episodes, one with no account and one with a free account. What differs is what comes next.
On Candy AI, the first episode asks for nothing and the second asks for a free account. Later episodes unlock with tokens, 12 per episode on every Candy entry here. On Dreamy Shorts, checked November 13, 2026, episode 2 is free after a free sign-up with Google or an email address, and episode 3 onward needs Premium. On Secrets AI, checked November 14, 2026, episode 2 is free once you are signed in, and later episodes cost 500 Moments each.
Signing up for the second episode
In plain words: press Watch on the entry, play episode 1, and when the platform asks you to sign in for episode 2, create a free account. It takes an email address, and on Dreamy Shorts a Google account works too. Nothing is charged at this stage.
FYI: a free account does not turn on tokens or Moments by itself. On Secrets AI, Free is $0 and comes with no Moments, so spending them requires Premium or Ultimate.

How far two free episodes get you
Two episodes cover a different share of each story depending on its length. On a 3-episode entry such as Match Point, they are two of its three episodes, and one locked episode remains. On a 5-episode entry, three remain. On a 6-episode entry, such as Zipped Together, four remain. On a 7-episode entry like Isabella's Revelation, five remain, and on the 9-episode The Man Next Door Knows, seven remain.
The table of every entry follows this section, so you can see the free count next to each title. The guide to series by episode count sorts the wiki by length.
When the free part ends
There are three options. You can stop, since the first two episodes give a fair sense of the premise and the tone. You can pay for the rest: tokens on Candy AI, a Premium plan on Dreamy Shorts, Moments on Secrets AI. Or you can try a different entry; every series starts free.
If you do decide to continue, the cost-to-finish guide shows the sums, and Pricing lists the plans. Each entry page also has a short muted excerpt from episode 1 and a table with access per episode.
The platform portals are Candy AI Shorts, Dreamy Shorts and Secrets Shorts. The Glossary defines the currencies, and the Main page is the way back to the whole wiki.
