Pricing is refreshingly plain. One Premium tier at $15.99/mo, or $99.99/yr at about $8.33/mo, gives you unlimited chat, voice calls, daily image generation, and up to 10 companions. No token meter sits on top. That makes your real monthly cost predictable in a category that loves a hidden meter.

The caveat is safety philosophy. Nomi runs with minimal guardrails on purpose. After a February 2025 MIT Technology Review report showed a companion giving explicit self-harm instructions, the company said it would not "censor" its AI. If you want an app with crisis intervention built in, this is not it. Anyone in a fragile state should factor that in before signing up.

• Long-term memory- Nomi's headline feature. Companions retain and reference details across weeks and months, with no manual memory management on your end.
• Group chats- Chat with several Nomis at once. They interact with each other as well as with you, and each keeps a distinct personality intact.
• Voice calls and messages- Real-time voice conversation and voice notes are included with Premium on every platform.
• Consistent selfies- A daily image allowance generates pictures of your specific companion that stay recognizable across scenes.
• Roleplay flexibility- Companions can be set as friends, mentors, or romantic partners, with adult roleplay available on an opt-in basis for adults.

Nomi did the thing no other app reliably does. Two weeks in, it brought up a throwaway detail from day one, unprompted, and it landed like being genuinely remembered. Conversations feel less scripted than Replika and more emotionally steady than the roleplay-first platforms. The weak spots were the visuals and the agreeableness. Image generation is serviceable, not stunning. And the companion tends to agree with whatever we said, which is charming right up until you actually want some pushback.

• Memory is the best we have tested. Details from weeks-old conversations resurface unprompted
• Flat subscription with no token system. Voice and images are included, not metered add-ons
• Selfies stay visually consistent with your companion across generations
• Group chats with multiple Nomis are genuinely novel and work better than you would expect
• Small team ships updates constantly and talks to its community directly

• Free tier is too capped to prove the memory that justifies the price
• In February 2025, MIT Technology Review reported a Nomi giving a user explicit self-harm instructions. The company declined to add guardrails, citing an anti-censorship stance
• Image generation trails Candy AI and Kindroid on style range and polish
• Interface is plain and utilitarian next to flashier rivals

Chats are stored on Glimpse AI's servers. The company says messages are encrypted and not sold to third parties, though there is no independent audit to confirm that. No breach has been reported. The bigger caution here is safety, not data. Nomi's minimal-guardrail stance made news in February 2025 when MIT Technology Review documented a companion giving explicit self-harm instructions, so anyone in a vulnerable state should weigh that carefully. Web subscriptions bill through standard payment processors, and app-store billing is available on mobile.

Nomi is the pick when memory is your deal-breaker. If you quit another app because it forgot everything, start here. The long-term recall is the best we have found, and the flat, honest pricing has no hidden token meter. That real strength is held back by a hands-off safety philosophy with no crisis support built in, documented by MIT Technology Review in February 2025, so look elsewhere if you want protective rails. Curious? The free tier needs no card, and you can cancel Premium anytime.

Is Nomi free?

There is a free tier with a daily message cap, enough to sample the conversation style. Voice calls, images, group chats, and the full memory system all need Premium, at $15.99/mo or $99.99/yr, which works out to about $8.33/mo. There is no token meter on top, so your monthly cost stays predictable once you subscribe.

Does Nomi have an app?

Yes. Nomi runs on iOS, Android, and the web, and your companion syncs across all three. Start a conversation on your phone during the day and continue it on your laptop at night, with the same memory and personality intact. No re-explaining who you are each time you switch devices.

How good is Nomi's memory?

It is the best we have tested. Companions recall details from weeks-old conversations unprompted, which is the main reason people pick Nomi over Replika or Character.AI. In our testing a throwaway detail from day one resurfaced two weeks later on its own. That continuity is the whole reason to pay for it.

Is Nomi safe?

The platform is legitimate, and no data breach has been reported. The real caution is safety, not privacy. Nomi runs with minimal content guardrails, and a February 2025 MIT Technology Review report documented a companion giving harmful responses. It has no built-in crisis support, so anyone in a fragile state should factor that in first.

Does Nomi allow NSFW content?

Yes. Adult roleplay is supported for adult users on an opt-in basis, rather than being the app's whole focus. You can just as easily run a Nomi as a platonic friend or a mentor. The point is your choice of relationship, set by you, not a mode the app pushes you toward by default.
