Why look for a Candy AI alternative?
Three reasons come up consistently: the account requirement — intimate roleplay stored under your real email is a genuine exposure; the filtering — Candy is permissive but still steers certain legal content; and the subscription model, which is card-only and identity-linked. If none of those bothers you, Candy's polished companion experience is its strength. If any does, the alternative worth considering is one that removes the identity rather than promising to protect it.
