Nomi review

Nomi is the most focused option here for people who mainly want an AI friend that remembers them. The App Store listing leads with short and long term memory, and states that each Nomi keeps that memory across private chats and group chats, so a companion does not forget you when a second character joins. Around that core sit voice messages, selfies, art generation, editable backstories and Shared Notes for steering the relationship, plus the ability to read links and photos you send. Pricing in the US App Store starts with a Launch Plan at $9.99 per month and a Standard Plan at $15.99 per month, $39.99 per quarter or $99.99 per year, with credits sold separately for extras. The weak spots are transparency and tone: the website pricing page is behind a bot check, free limits are not spelled out on pages we could load, and the listing pitches romantic roleplay as openly as friendship.
