Nomi is a well-known AI companion app that its homepage sums up as an AI companion "with Memory and a Soul". People who look for a Nomi alternative usually want something specific: to see exactly what the AI remembers and fix it, to keep using voice or group chats without a subscription, to use it in a browser, or just to meet different characters. Here is what NuraMate does, what it doesn't, and how to move the parts that matter.
What we checked about Nomi
Everything below about Nomi comes from its own pages, read on 7 November 2026: the homepage (nomi.ai), its terms of service (effective 16 January 2026), its privacy policy (last updated 27 April 2026) and its refund and cancellation policies. On those pages, Nomi:
- describes short, medium and long term memory, and says Nomis remember your preferences and habits;
- offers one-on-one chats, group chats, voice messages, hands-free calls and selfies;
- is free to start without a card, with paid plans billed monthly, quarterly or yearly;
- says that after downgrading to free, group chats, voice messaging, calls and video creation become read-only;
- is for adults only: its terms say people under 18 can't use it;
- works on the web and in its iOS and Android apps.
Nomi's pricing and FAQ pages didn't load when we checked, so we don't quote its prices or message limits, and its pages don't say whether you can view or edit individual memories. Check Nomi's app for the current details.
What NuraMate does differently
A memory list you can read and edit
Every companion keeps a memory list you can open at any time. Correct a memory that's wrong, delete one you'd rather they forgot, pin the ones that should never be dropped, or save a line from the chat with "Remember this". The Free plan keeps up to 60 automatic memories per companion, Plus 600 and Pro 3,000. The memory guide explains how it works.
Voice on the free plan
The Free plan includes voice messages, 3 spoken replies a day and 3 minutes of live calls a day, with no card. Plus raises calls to 30 minutes a day and Pro to 2 hours. Every profile has a short voice sample you can play before signing up. See AI voice chat.
Ready-made companions with their own lives
Choose from a gallery of ready-made adult characters, each with a job, a city, a way of talking and a life that moves on between chats. Start with Luna, Noah or Leila. On Plus or Pro you can also create your own character, or import a character card.
Group chats
Put two or three of your companions in a group chat, set a topic, and they talk to you and to each other. Group chats use your own companions, and Free has one, so groups need Plus (3 companions) or Pro (10). We'd rather say that plainly than hide it.
Stories, check-ins and personas
- Stories: ready-made story series and open scenes for interactive stories.
- Check-ins: your companion can message you first, at most once a day on Free, 3 times on Plus and 4 on Pro.
- Personas: describe who you are in the chat once, and every companion knows it: 1 persona on Free, 5 on Plus, 10 on Pro.
Your data
You can download everything we store about you as a ZIP file, or delete your account, from your account page. The privacy checklist lists the questions worth asking any companion app, us included.
Moving over from Nomi
There's no automatic import, but what matters takes about ten minutes:
- Write a persona with your name, pronouns and the few things you always end up explaining.
- Pick a companion whose personality is closest to the Nomi you liked. On Plus, create one with the traits, backstory and speaking style you remember.
- Add the key facts as memories: the people in your life, what you're working on, the running jokes. Pin the ones that should never be lost.
- Start from now. Your first message can be "Here's where things are with me this week", so the conversation picks up instead of starting from zero.
When NuraMate isn't the right fit
NuraMate is for adults (18+) and is non-explicit: friendship, romance, flirting and stories, without explicit content. If you want explicit roleplay, this isn't the app for it. It also isn't therapy; if you're struggling, please reach out to a professional or a crisis line, and NuraMate shows crisis resources for your country. Every companion is a fictional AI character, not a real person.
Try it before you sign up
Open any companion's profile and use "Say hi" to send three messages without an account. If you like it, sign up free: no card, 40 messages a day. Compare plans on the pricing page, or read how to choose an AI companion app for a checklist that works for any app.
