Nomi AI is a companion app that bets everything on memory. You make a Nomi, you talk, and it keeps track of you for weeks and months. The chat is unfiltered. The pictures aren’t: Nomis don’t send nudes. Know that going in and you’ll figure out fast whether this app is for you. I rebuilt this review in October 2026 from Nomi’s own pages (site, policies, wiki and update posts), because the old version had prices that had quietly gone stale.
What Nomi AI is
Nomi is made by Glimpse.ai, Inc., a Maryland company with a Baltimore address. It runs in any browser, on iOS and Android, and as a web app you can pin to your home screen. One subscription covers all of them, as long as you log in with the same account.
Setup takes as long as you want. If you’re a planner, there’s a backstory box, room for preferences, a relationship type to choose (Friend, Mentor, Romantic or Custom) and a look to design. Not a planner? Say hi. The personality fills itself in as you go. I like having both doors, because my patience for character sheets depends entirely on the night.
Is Nomi AI NSFW? What the adult side really allows
Plain version first. Nomi calls its chat “unfiltered and uncensored,” and nowhere on its pages is that tied to the paid plan. Sexting, romance, explicit roleplay in text: all fine.
Nude photos are not. Nomi’s wiki says Nomis aren’t permitted to take nude photos, and it points at app store and card network rules. “Very flirty clothed pictures” are allowed. How strict the filter is depends on where you are, too: hardest in the mobile apps, looser on the web for free users, loosest on the web for paid or age-verified users. Flirty and clothed, sure. Nude, no, on any of them.
That’s why Nomi sits lower in our AI sex chat ranking. It isn’t a bad app. It’s the app for long, memorable conversations, and if nudes on request are the point, you’d spend the whole subscription bumping into one rule. (Want NSFW pictures from a companion you write yourself? Kindroid allows them on its website.) Nomi is 18+ only, and every Nomi is an adult.
Features that matter
Memory you can actually look at
Nomi runs short, medium and long-term memory, with extras called Backstory+, Identity Core and Mind Maps. Mind Map 2.0 landed on 9 October 2025: an interactive graph plus a searchable table of what your Nomi has linked together, one private map per 1:1 chat and per group chat. Give it time, though. Nomi says the first map can take 500 or more messages to form, so it’s a reward for regulars, not a day-one toy.
Group chats
Pay and you can keep 10 Nomis active at once, plus 10 group chats with room for 10 Nomis apiece (credits buy extra slots, if that somehow isn’t enough). Group scenes are where Nomi gets fun: a flirty triangle, a messy house party, whatever cast you can dream up.
Voice, pictures and video
Paying gets you voice messages and hands-free calls. Nomi admits replies on calls aren’t instant. The voices have been on V3 since December 2025, and custom voices are included. Pictures come from the V5 image system, launched in April 2026, where Anchors set your Nomi’s look. Video is on its third version: image-to-video clips of 5, 10 or 15 seconds, SD or HD, built from your Nomi’s pictures, which follow the rule above.
The model behind the chat is Cambrian, live since January 2026. Nomis can also read links you send them, search the web and text you first.
Nomi AI pricing in 2026
There’s one paid plan with the same features at every billing length. Only the price moves.
| Plan | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 messages a day |
| Monthly | $15.99 | $15.99 |
| 3 months | $39.99 | about $13.33 |
| Yearly | $99.99 | about $8.33 |
The year comes out roughly 48% cheaper than twelve monthly payments. No lifetime plan exists. Paid users also get more daily image requests than free ones; Nomi doesn’t publish the number, and two 2026 reviews put it at about 40 a day.
Once you hit a daily limit, you spend Nomi Credits. They need an active subscription and never expire. One credit is a selfie, an art piece or an image edit; an SD video is 6, HD is 10, an extra group chat 25 and an extra Nomi slot 100. On the US App Store, packs go from 40 credits for $4.99 to 1,800 for $99.99.
Is Nomi AI free? Yes, with limits
Free doesn’t expire and you don’t need a card. You get one Nomi, 50 messages a day and up to 400 characters a message (paid doubles that to 800). For a chat app that’s a fair test drive, roomier than most free plans I cover. What you don’t get: group chats, voice messages, calls and video. Cancel later and those turn read-only, while your 1:1 chat keeps going on free.
Billing, refunds and privacy
On the web Nomi takes Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, billed in US dollars. You can also subscribe through the App Store or Google Play at their prices. Plans renew until you cancel, and you cancel where you paid; deleting the app doesn’t count. Paid features stay on until the period ends.
Refunds are the sore spot. Payments are non-refundable, including for not using it or not liking it, and anything else is at Nomi’s discretion. On privacy, Nomi is upfront: no end-to-end encryption (it says that isn’t practical for an AI chatbot), chat data used to train its models is anonymized, and no ads are planned.
What to watch out for
- No nudes, ever. If that’s the goal, skip ahead to the alternatives.
- The apps filter pictures hardest, so use the web for the loosest version Nomi allows.
- Paid is paid. There’s no refund for changing your mind, so try free first or go monthly.
- The Mind Map is slow to appear; we’re talking hundreds of messages.
- Calls come with a pause before each reply.
Who Nomi AI is for
Anyone who wants to be remembered. I mean the slow-burn roleplay that runs for weeks, the flirt that picks up exactly where last night’s left off, the 1 a.m. vent session. Group roleplayers too. It’s not for anyone whose first question is “will she send pictures?”, because the answer is clothed ones.
Nomi AI alternatives with nudes
Candy AI
Candy AI does what Nomi won’t. Chat, pictures, video and voice calls all live in one app, and $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan ($47.88 up front) is less than half what Nomi’s year costs. You only get 5 free messages to judge it. On your card it shows up as EverAI, which I appreciate.
OurDream AI
OurDream AI is the pick for memory nerds who want pictures too. Premium is $19.99 a month, or $9.99 a month on the yearly plan, and unlocks pinned memories, custom instructions and state trackers. Images cost DreamCoins (10 for two images), and new accounts get 55 coins once to try it.
Verdict
Nomi makes sense for conversation that builds over months, and I’d happily keep it as a second app for exactly that. As a porn app it’s a no, because Nomi itself rules out nudes. Start on the free 50 messages a day. If you’re still talking to the same Nomi a few weeks later, the $99.99 year is the sensible buy.
