Nomi AI Pricing 2026: Free vs Paid Plans and Real Costs

Adults only. Nomi is an 18+ service. Its terms say anyone under 18 cannot use it “under any circumstances”, and the US App Store rates the app 18+. This guide covers pricing, billing and privacy, not content.

How this guide was made. This is a documentation-based guide. Prices come from the in-app purchase list on Nomi’s US App Store listing. Features come from Nomi’s own website pages, update posts, API documentation and policies, and cancellation and refund steps come from Nomi’s policies and Apple’s and Google’s help centres, all read on 27 October 2026. Nomi’s website has no public pricing page we could find, its web subscription screen showed only a loading message to us, and the Google Play listing did not load in full, so we do not quote them. Nothing here is hands-on testing. See how we review for our method.

Money. Aitryvo is in Nomi’s affiliate programme, so the “Try Nomi” links on this page may earn us a commission if you subscribe, at no extra cost to you. The verdict was written before we joined, and the “skip if” advice below stands regardless. See our affiliate disclosure.

The short answer

Nomi has a real free tier, but it is a taster rather than a full product. You can create a Nomi and chat without a card, yet messages are capped per day, images are limited, and voice is tied to a subscription. Paying is mostly about removing the daily ceiling and unlocking voice, more Nomis and group chats.

Whether that is worth $60 to $192 a year depends on one thing: how often you hit the free limit. If you chat briefly a few times a week, the free tier may be enough. If you run out most days, the yearly plans are far cheaper per month than paying monthly.

Nomi AI pricing plans in 2026

Nomi sells two subscription plans on the US App Store, plus packs of Nomi Credits.

Notes on the table:

• All prices are the US App Store’s in-app purchase list on 27 October 2026, rechecked on 4 November 2026 with no change. The listing names the monthly Standard option simply “Standard Plan” at $15.99; we take that to be the monthly plan, but the store does not say so.
• Nomi’s own March 2026 comparison article gives the same Standard prices: “$15.99/mo, $39.99/Quarterly, $99.99/Yearly.” It does not mention a Launch Plan at all.
• The arithmetic, which is ours: twelve months of Standard at $15.99 is $191.88, so the yearly plan saves $91.89 if you stay the full year. Four quarters cost $159.96. Twelve months of Launch at $9.99 is $119.88, so its yearly plan saves $59.89. The subscription calculator runs these sums for any price.
• Prices outside the US, and on the web, may differ. We could not read either.

Nomi Credits

Credits are a separate, one-off purchase. The US App Store lists 40 credits for $4.99, 100 for $9.99, 225 for $19.99, 600 for $49.99 and 1,800 for $99.99. Nomi’s terms describe “one-time add ons that can be acquired with the System’s virtual credits following upgrade”, which suggests credits are spent on extras once you subscribe. Neither the terms nor any page we read lists what each add-on costs in credits, or whether credits expire.

Is Nomi free? The free plan and the free-trial question

Yes, Nomi is free to start, and the free plan is the trial. Nomi’s homepage says “It’s free (no credit card required) to start chatting”, and its Start Chatting button opens a web sign-up, not a payment page. We found no time-limited free trial: no trial is listed among the App Store’s in-app purchases (checked 4 November 2026), and none of Nomi’s own pages we read mentions one. The free plan does not expire; it caps how much you can do each day instead. When the day’s messages run out, you either wait until the next day or subscribe.

The practical way to “trial” the paid plan is to take the Launch Plan for one month at $9.99, not a yearly plan, and cancel before renewal if it does not earn its place. The cancelling section below shows where to cancel for each way of paying.

A few caveats. The 400 and 800 character limits come from Nomi’s developer API documentation, which describes “free accounts” and “users with a subscription”; we assume the app follows the same rule but could not check. The image figures come from a comparison article Nomi wrote about itself. And none of these pages separates what the Launch Plan gets from what the Standard Plan gets.

What paying actually adds

Unlimited messaging

This is the main reason to pay. Nomi’s proactive messaging guide explains that the quota counts your messages, not your Nomi’s, and that once it runs out you “would either need to wait until the next day or upgrade to respond.” Nomi does not publish the free quota. Users report that it runs out quickly in an active conversation, so if you chat in long sessions, you will feel it.

Voice

Nomi’s December 2025 voice post says a subscription gives “unlimited access to all in-house Nomi voices and custom voices”, and that calls let you talk in real time. Voices from ElevenLabs need a separate ElevenLabs subscription and follow its usage limits, so that would be a second bill.

More Nomis and group chats

Nomi’s FAQ lists “additional Nomis” as a paid feature. Its 2024 beginner’s guide says a group chat can hold up to 6 Nomis. Its March 2026 comparison lists multiple companions as “Yes, up to 10 included” without saying which plan that applies to. Treat 10 as unconfirmed.

Memory

Memory is Nomi’s main selling point. The homepage claims short, medium and long term memory that recalls your preferences and past roleplays. That is the company’s claim, and we have not measured it. We also found no official page that says whether memory, or the length of a Nomi’s backstory and notes, differs between free and paid accounts.

Cancelling and refunds

Cancel where you paid. Nomi’s cancellation policy says you are “solely responsible” for cancelling through the platform you bought on.

• Web: Profile icon, Subscription tab, Manage Subscription, Cancel Subscription.
• In the Nomi app (App Store or Google Play purchase): as of 3 November 2026 the policy also lists Profile icon, Subscription tab, Manage Subscription, Cancel Subscription.
• iPhone Settings (App Store purchase): open your device’s Settings app, “(not the Nomi app)”, then your Apple ID name, Subscriptions, Nomi, Cancel Subscription. Apple’s help page notes that if there is no Cancel button, the subscription is already cancelled.
• Google Play (Google Play purchase): open the Google Play Store app, “(not the Nomi app)”, check you are in the right Play account, then profile icon, Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions, Nomi, Cancel subscription. Google says uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription.

Nomi says deleting the app does not cancel either. You keep paid features until the end of the billing period, then the account is downgraded. You must cancel before the renewal date, because the terms say subscriptions “renew automatically”.

After a downgrade, Nomi’s refund policy says your Nomis and one-on-one chats stay, but group chats, video creation and voice become read-only.

Refunds from Nomi. The refund policy and terms say all payments are nonrefundable except as stated in the terms. There are no refunds for unused time, partial months, plan downgrades, buyer’s remorse, lack of use or dissatisfaction. Nomi says it “may offer a partial or full refund at its sole discretion”, and asks you to email support@nomi.ai. The terms do not mention EU or UK cooling-off rights.

Refunds through the app stores. If you paid through Apple, request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com; Apple says to expect an update in 24 to 48 hours and that eligibility varies by location. If you paid through Google Play, Google says refunds depend on what you bought, when and where, that contacting the developer is often quickest, and that partial subscription refunds apply only in some countries. Neither store promises a refund.

Privacy points worth knowing

From Nomi’s privacy policy, last updated 27 April 2026:

• You sign up with a Google or Apple account, then give a name or pseudonym and your date of birth.
• Nomi stores the content you provide, including chats and character customisation.
• It says it does “not and will not sell or rent” your personal information, and does not currently use advertising networks, though it says it may in future.
• The policy mentions “training archives” but does not plainly say whether your chats train its models.
• Account deletion is in Account Settings and removes personal data within about 28 days, with exceptions for communications archives and legal needs.
• Data may be stored on servers outside your country.

The US App Store’s privacy label lists data linked to you, including email, name, user content, identifiers, purchase history and usage data. The page we read did not show a “Data Used to Track You” section. Our AI companion privacy and safety guide explains what to look for across apps.

Pay if, skip if

Pay for Nomi if:

• You run out of free messages on most days you use it.
• You want voice calls or group chats; neither works on free.
• You have used the free tier for a few weeks and still open it daily. Then the Standard yearly plan, about $8.33 a month, beats $15.99 monthly by a wide margin.
• The Launch Plan covers the features you need. At $59.99 a year it is the cheapest paid route, but confirm its features in the app first.

Skip Nomi, or stay free, if:

• A handful of messages a day is enough for you.
• You only want text chat with one companion.
• You are unsure you will still use it in a year. The yearly plans are nonrefundable for unused time, so start monthly or quarterly.
• You want clear, published limits before paying. Nomi does not publish its free quota or its plan differences.
• You are uncomfortable that the privacy policy does not clearly rule out using chats for training.

What we could not confirm

• What the Launch Plan includes compared with the Standard Plan. Only the App Store names it, and no official page explains it.
• Whether a quarterly Launch Plan exists; the US App Store did not list one.
• The size of the free daily message quota.
• How many Nomis each plan allows, and whether “up to 10” applies to every paid plan.
• Whether memory, backstory or notes limits differ between free and paid accounts.
• What Nomi Credits buy, at what cost, and whether they expire or can be refunded.
• Web prices and prices outside the US, since Nomi’s subscription screen and Google Play listing did not load for us.
• Whether chats are used to train Nomi’s models.

We will update this guide when Nomi publishes plan details we can read.
