Choose a character workflow with Candy AI or DarLink AI
Think about the role you want to talk to and how often you want to add media. With us, choose a preset companion or custom attributes, then use its supported experiences. On DarLink, explore the searchable feed and visual-style creator, checking the tier's text allowance and voice selections as part of that choice.

Find the role and appearance you want to keep using
Start from one of our catalogue profiles or create an original companion with the available personality and appearance choices. Put the character's ongoing traits in its setup and the immediate event in your opening. You can then describe a new situation without redefining who the character is.
Use a name or scenario to search DarLink's feed, or open the creator for realistic, anime, fantasy and cartoon styles. Realistic V2 carries a subscriber requirement. Before settling on a visual direction, confirm that the account you intend to use can select it.
Check each part of the conversation and media setup
| What you want to use | Candy AI | DarLink AI |
|---|---|---|
| Choose a companion | Start with a catalogue role or selected custom-character attributes | Find a name or scenario in the feed, or start with a visual style |
| Keep a paid text conversation going | Use unlimited ordinary text with a paid membership | Check Essential's 6,000 monthly messages, Advanced's 9,000 and Ultimate's unlimited-message offer |
| Use the character's voice | Open supported playback or calling and read its token cost | Check which voice choices belong to the selected tier |
| Request pictures or video | Allow for tokens on supported image and video generations | Use DarLink tokens for its image and video actions |
Read both the plan and the selected action before confirming payment. Choosing a voice does not establish that a live two-way call is available. Keep each service's tokens within its own account and purchase conditions.
Keep message access, token spending and memory expectations distinct
Try up to five messages shared across characters, create one custom character and generate one image through our free allowance. For membership media, Premium provides 100 monthly tokens and Premium Plus provides 330. Ordinary subscriber text is independent of that spending; check whether your next generation needs additional tokens.
Use DarLink's memory tier names to identify plan features, not to calculate how accurately a character will remember. Our Plus slots and cloned chats also serve particular conversation tasks without promising that every fact survives correctly through an ongoing story.
Work out what an illustrated diary needs before subscribing
Plan a travel-diary conversation with a fictional adult architect, adding occasional pictures of the buildings they describe. If you choose us, budget for those image actions alongside unlimited paid text. For DarLink, match the visual style and the tier's message allowance to the conversations you expect to continue.
Keep the architect's background and initial destination consistent in each account. Ask for a straightforward scene picture, then move the story elsewhere in chat. Check the editing options and continuing access rather than relying on a style label to promise identical images or flawless continuity.
Your questions
Does every paid DarLink tier provide the same text access as Candy AI?
Read the selected tier's message terms. Our ordinary subscriber text is unlimited; DarLink's Essential and Advanced tiers have caps, while Ultimate lists unlimited messages. Budget for media separately whichever text option you choose.
Is selecting a voice enough to start a two-way call?
Confirm that a call action is available and read its requirements. A voice choice can concern how messages sound instead of live conversation. Our supported call and playback actions can carry token charges.
Should I apply Candy AI's free limits to a DarLink account?
Check each account independently. Our allowance describes Candy AI access, not DarLink's free offer. Confirm what DarLink currently lets that account send or generate before planning around a fixed free quantity.
