Media Sends & Monthly Caps

Headline: Candy AI ships a native generative media loop; PolyBuzz is text-primary with no in-app generator. | Check | Candy AI | PolyBuzz |

|-------|----------|----------| | Monthly media cap | 100 tokens/mo on Premium; packs sold separately | Subscription (~$9.90–$29.90/mo verified); memory tiers | | Image sends / generation | ~100 token actions/mo on Premium (each image costs tokens) | Fixed character artwork only — no in-chat images | | Video clips | Short clips via same token pool | Rare promos only | | Voice / audio | Voice messages via tokens | Read-aloud/listening on chat page — not dialogue | In our July 2026 sessions, the product with integrated generation won weekly visual workflows; the text-first pick only wins if you truly never tap image buttons. Count real media actions you expect per week before choosing — token and coin systems punish optimistic estimates.

18+ Media Policy Compared

We treat 18+ media as a separate row because subscription price alone misleads visual buyers. | 18+ policy | Candy AI | PolyBuzz |

|------------|----------|----------| | Mature images | Yes — 18+ images after age gate | Mature text RP; no chat image sends | | Mature video | Yes — 18+ short video after age gate | Limited / promotional | | Mature voice | Allowed on paid tiers | Listen-only read-aloud, not voice calls | Configure age gates before testing mature modules. We do not host explicit captures — only policy and allowance notes verified 2026-07-24. If you need SFW-only experiences, favor the column with “No” or “SFW” markers even when overall chat scores look similar.

Choose Candy AI or PolyBuzz?
