One gives you time, the other sells you tiers

Nomi AI and GirlfriendGPT look alike from a distance: both are companion and roleplay apps, both let you make your own character, both renew automatically. Up close, the deals are almost opposite. Nomi AI keeps it simple with one free plan and one paid Standard Plan in three billing lengths.

GirlfriendGPT stacks Premium, Deluxe and Elite, and each step up buys more messages, more memory context and more features.

The free start is where I'd look first. Nomi AI refills 50 messages every day, with a 400-character cap per message. GirlfriendGPT's free plan lists 20 bonus messages that never expire, another 10 each day you use Daily Login, and 30 coins when you first register.

Its terms describe the free tier more narrowly, as a limited count of around 10 to 20 messages in total, so the sources differ. Either way, Nomi's allowance is the one you can actually live on.

Content rules split them again. Nomi AI allows adult chat on every plan. GirlfriendGPT keeps it for paying members, with NSFW chat listed from Premium upward. Platforms differ as well: Nomi AI has the web, iOS and Android, while GirlfriendGPT lists the web and Android, so on an iPhone you would use it in the browser.

Memory is the real decider for me. Nomi AI lists memory as a standard feature, while GirlfriendGPT puts it behind the paywall, and its bigger context windows (8K on Deluxe, 16K on Elite) cost real money. Other reviewers report a week-long test on GirlfriendGPT Premium where a personal detail they had planted was simply forgotten, and made-up details were offered in its place. That result would worry me if being remembered is why you want a companion.

I'm not writing GirlfriendGPT off. Its Elite plan adds live voice calls and unlimited messages, which Nomi can't match on voice. But I'd only go there with a clear budget. For the full picture of the conversation-first option, my in-depth Nomi AI review covers the free plan, Standard pricing and cancelling.

Does it remember what you told it?

Here the two records disagree most. Nomi AI lists memory with no strings attached, and outside reviews describe it as proactive, with an automatically built "Mind Map" said to form after about 500 messages. GirlfriendGPT lists memory as paid, and it sells context by the tier: 8K on Deluxe, 16K on Elite.

The week-long Premium result I mentioned above is the part that stays with me. If memory is the feature you care about, Nomi is my pick without hesitation.

Characters, and who gets to build them

Both let you create characters, but not on equal terms. Nomi AI marks custom characters as a yes and lets paid members keep up to 10 active Nomis plus up to 10 active group chats. GirlfriendGPT marks character creation as limited: free accounts can make 2 or 3 characters, and custom character creation is listed on Premium.

It has no group chat entry. I like building a companion from scratch rather than accepting a default, and neither record says what gender options the builder offers, so that question stays open for both.

Pictures, voice and the content level

GirlfriendGPT has more on the menu here, if you pay. Premium includes in-chat images, Deluxe adds TTS voice messages and video, and Elite brings live voice calls that reviews called real-time. The weak spots: in-chat images reportedly came out anime-style for a character built as realistic, and one image comparison saw Safe Mode return explicit output on 2 of 4 style presets.

Nomi AI is quieter here, with 2 free images a day, 40 image credits a day on Standard and voice calls on the paid plan. I'd call it a draw with different flaws.

Privacy and the name on your statement

GirlfriendGPT charges show as NDAI.CC and Nomi AI charges show as NOMI.AI. I prefer the GirlfriendGPT line here, since it does not spell out the app. GirlfriendGPT belongs to NextDay AI Incorporated in Quebec, Canada, with sister companies in Delaware and Cyprus, and some subscriptions run through CCBill. Nomi AI is Glimpse.ai, Inc. of Baltimore. My GirlfriendGPT review goes through its CCBill cancel route step by step.

GirlfriendGPT: a tiered app that rewards a bigger budget

GirlfriendGPT is run by NextDay AI Incorporated from Quebec, Canada, with a browser version and an Android app. The free start gives you 20 bonus messages that do not expire, 10 more each day when you log in, and 30 coins. That beats a one-evening trial, but the terms phrase the free limit as roughly 10 to 20 messages in total, so I'd treat the daily extras as a nice surprise rather than a promise.

The paid ladder is where the app lives. Premium at $15.00 a month gets you 5,000 messages, chat history, premium models, in-chat images, custom character creation, 400 coins and adult chat. Deluxe at $35.00 raises you to 20,000 messages, TTS voice messages, video and 8K memory context. Elite at $50.00 removes the message cap and adds 16K memory context.

My honest read: Premium is the only tier I'd consider without a strong reason, because memory is where this app needs money to shine.

That's also my main worry. Memory is paid, and the one long memory test on record for Premium came back with no recall at all. If you pick GirlfriendGPT, pick it for voice or variety, not to be remembered.

Refunds are close to nonexistent. The terms say no refunds for paid subscriptions, with a narrow exception in certain limited cases. Cancelling happens on the manage subscription page of your account, or on the CCBill website if CCBill billed you. Note which one charged you before you need it.

Want to see how this one stacks up against the rest? Every head-to-head I have written is collected in one place, which helps if you are shortlisting more than two apps.

Nomi AI: fewer choices, and a free plan worth keeping

Nomi AI is made by Glimpse.ai, Inc., a Maryland company headquartered in Baltimore, and you can use it in a browser or on iOS and Android. Its structure is the opposite of a tier ladder. There is a permanent free plan, then one Standard Plan you can pay monthly, quarterly or yearly. I find that refreshing, because you never have to wonder which tier unlocks memory.

The free plan is the strongest part of the offer. Fifty messages a day at up to 400 characters each is a real daily habit, not a teaser. Two images a day come with it, and there are no ads.

On Standard, messages become unlimited with 800 characters each, and you get voice calls and room for up to 10 active Nomis.

Where would I hold back? Pictures and voice. Reviews describe the image side as a pre-made gallery without custom prompting that often turns down NSFW requests, and they note a lag of 15-20 seconds on voice calls.

Other reviewers report checkout trouble too: a payment that sat pending for as long as three days, and sometimes a VPN or US region needed to finish it. If that happens to you, I'd contact support rather than retry the card over and over.

The fine print is firm. Plans renew on their own unless you cancel before the expiry date, and all payments are nonrefundable, including for lack of use. Web cancelling goes through the Profile icon and the Subscription tab. On Android you can also cancel through Google Play.

Curious where these facts come from and how old they are? My page on how I check the apps lays out the sources behind each record, so you can judge them yourself.

  • Starting free: Free tier, 50 free messages daily
  • Lowest price: $8.33 monthly (Standard Plan Yearly)

Each app's prices appear in the currency it bills in, with no conversion. Price sorting only compares apps that share a currency.

All prices in USD. GirlfriendGPT has three paid tiers with yearly savings; Nomi AI has one Standard Plan billed three ways.

Read the table above as two different shopping trips. On Nomi AI there is one decision: how long to commit. Standard costs $15.99 for a month, $39.99 per quarter ($13.33 a month) or $99.99 for a year ($8.33 a month). Light use costs nothing at all, since the free plan's daily 50 messages cover a short chat every day.

On GirlfriendGPT, the question is which tier. Premium is $15.00 a month or $144.00 a year, which works out to $12.00 a month. Deluxe is $35.00 monthly or $294.00 yearly ($24.50 a month). Elite is $50.00 monthly or $396.00 yearly ($33.00 a month).

The monthly entry prices look almost identical: $15.00 against $15.99. What you get for that money is not.

For a regular chatter, Premium's 5,000 messages a month is plenty, but memory is the catch. Deeper memory context arrives at Deluxe, which more than doubles the monthly bill. Nomi AI lists memory on its only paid plan, so the same budget buys you the feature I care about most.

My smart buys: on Nomi, the free plan first and then one monthly payment as a trial. On GirlfriendGPT, Premium monthly, and only if adult chat or in-chat images are what you are after. I'd skip the yearly plans on both until a month has convinced you, because neither app refunds a subscription once paid.

Coins are the wildcard on GirlfriendGPT. Premium includes 400 a month, but the record does not say what a coin buys, so I can't tell you how far that goes. If extras priced in coins or tokens are a sticking point, my Candy AI vs OurDream AI comparison looks at two more apps built around that model.

Nomi AI A free plan that refills to 50 messages daily · 8.3/10, starts at $8.33/mo Try it free

I'd point you to Nomi AI if you're after a companion who stays steady from one day to the next. The appeal is not a flashy feature. It is the combination of a permanent free plan, memory that does not sit behind a tier, and apps for iPhone and Android as well as the browser.

The free plan also answers the question most people have and don't ask out loud: can I try this properly without paying? Yes. With fifty messages daily, you'll know soon enough if the conversation holds your attention, and adult chat is not locked away while you decide.

What I'd tell you before you upgrade: Standard is $15.99 a month, and once paid, it stays paid. There is no refund for changing your mind. So give the free plan a real run first, then pay for a single month.

That month also opens up to 10 active group chats, if you ever want more than one character in a scene.

If your heart is set on voice calls or custom pictures, Nomi is not the strongest choice.

If a friend asked me which one to download

The GirlfriendGPT vs Nomi AI question comes down to what you'd pay for. Here's the short version I'd give over coffee:

  • You want to chat daily for free: Nomi AI, with 50 messages a day that never run out.
  • You want the app to remember you: Nomi AI, where memory is not a paid extra.
  • You want live voice calls and don't mind the price: GirlfriendGPT Elite.
  • You want the most discreet bank line: GirlfriendGPT, billed as NDAI.CC.
  • You are on iPhone: Nomi AI, since GirlfriendGPT lists web and Android only.

My overall vote goes to Nomi AI. It asks less of you up front, it treats memory as a basic feature, and its single paid plan is easy to understand. GirlfriendGPT is the more ambitious app on paper, but most of its best parts start at $35.00 a month, and its memory results worry me.

Both share one rule I wish they didn't: refunds are off the table once you have paid. That's why I'd keep either one on monthly billing for the first stretch, however tempting the yearly savings look.

If Nomi is your front-runner and you want one more comparison before deciding, my Candy AI vs Nomi AI breakdown sets it against an app built around pictures.

Common questions

Which has the better free plan, Nomi AI or GirlfriendGPT?

Nomi AI. Its free plan is permanent and gives 50 messages a day at up to 400 characters each, plus 2 images a day, with no ads. GirlfriendGPT lists 20 bonus messages with no expiry date, plus 10 a day via Daily Login and 30 coins on joining, though its terms describe the free limit as about 10 to 20 messages in total.

Can I use adult chat for free on either app?

On Nomi AI, adult content is allowed and not tied to a paid plan. On GirlfriendGPT it is paid-only, with NSFW chat listed on Premium, which costs $15.00 a month. If you want to see how a companion handles mature themes before paying, Nomi is the only one of the two that allows it.

Does GirlfriendGPT have memory?

Yes, but it is a paid feature. Deluxe lists 8K memory context and Elite lists 16K. Reviews are not kind here: in a week-long test on Premium, a planted detail was never recalled, and the app invented new details to fill the gap. Nomi AI lists memory as standard and is described as having proactive long-term memory.

What name appears on my card statement?

GirlfriendGPT charges appear as NDAI.CC, and Nomi AI charges appear as NOMI.AI. GirlfriendGPT's line is the less obvious of the two. Some GirlfriendGPT subscriptions are billed through CCBill, which matters when you cancel.

Will GirlfriendGPT or Nomi AI give my money back?

Realistically, no. GirlfriendGPT's terms say it does not refund paid subscriptions, apart from certain limited cases. Nomi AI says all payments are nonrefundable except where its agreement states otherwise, and it gives no refunds for lack of usage or dissatisfaction. Monthly billing is the safer way to start on both.

Which apps are available on iPhone?

Nomi AI has iOS and Android apps plus a web version. GirlfriendGPT lists the web and Android, with no iOS app on record. If you chat mostly on an iPhone, Nomi AI is the easier fit, though GirlfriendGPT still works in a browser.

Is GirlfriendGPT related to SpicyChat?

Yes. NextDay AI Incorporated in Quebec, Canada runs both, and it has related companies in Delaware and Cyprus. Their billing names differ slightly: GirlfriendGPT shows as NDAI.CC, SpicyChat as NDAI.CHAT. The apps have separate plans and prices.
