Candy AI vs OurDream for characters, chat and media

Choose how your character or group should work

Use our builder to set a companion's available attributes. OurDream's creation options include original characters and community remixes, and its group-chat catalogue appears alongside individual characters on the homepage. Before building a story around independent speakers, check the group's controls and the access offered by your plan.

Decide whether you want separate characters in a group or a single character definition that portrays several roles. Those structures need not provide the same speaker controls, even when both are used for roleplay.

Keep Candy AI tokens and Dreamcoins separate

Spend our tokens on supported image, video, voice and other paid actions. OurDream uses Dreamcoins for images, videos, voice calls and audio-message listening, and its help requires an active subscription to buy more coins. Read each service's action charges: the balances are unrelated, so their quantities alone do not establish equal spending value.

Confirm trial media before planning free use

Start with five shared messages, one custom character and one image in our free allowance. OurDream's help describes image and video generation as subscription-only, while its creation page promotes trial media. Because those descriptions differ, confirm the chosen action's eligibility in your account rather than counting on a free media entitlement.

Budget for the subscription and individual media actions separately on either service. Check exactly what you are opening or creating: a preview picture, an existing episode and a freshly generated clip are not the same purchase.

Explore both services with the same original scene

Keep your character notes and requested media consistent as you explore. Use the available editing controls and the full ongoing cost to decide which setup fits your story.

• Give your original character the same personality and starting situation in each editor.
• Open the editing controls to see how you can revise the character after creation.
• Select the image, clip or voice format you actually want to continue using.
• Check the action's charge against your remaining credit balance before you proceed.

Questions and answers

Can Dreamcoins and Candy AI tokens be used interchangeably?

Keep them separate. Our tokens work with our actions and purchase terms; OurDream applies its own charges and conditions to Dreamcoins.

Does subscribing cover all video generation?

Read the selected action's charge before generating. We separate token-funded media from paid text chat, and OurDream also uses coins for media; membership alone does not establish an unlimited video allowance.

Should I use a group or write several roles into one character?

Choose based on the controls you need. A group can have separate participants, whereas a multi-role definition asks one character model to portray a cast. Those approaches do not necessarily manage speakers in the same way.
