Looking for a Nomi alternative?

Nomi spent most of 2026 migrating models, and its founder has been unusually candid about it: one release he described as “dead on arrival”, the next made companions feel “a little colder” because speed was bought “at the expense of other things”, and by the June 2026 dev stream he was still saying “I'm frustrated that Cambrian still isn't stable.”

Their own migration guide explains it: moving companions from the version 3 and 4 image systems to version 5 “cause[s] overall likeness to drift”. To their credit, Nomi kept the legacy image systems running rather than forcing everyone across.

No. Their cancellation policy states: “Refunds are not provided for unused time, partial months, or dissatisfaction with the service.”

Nomi is $15.99 a month, $39.99 a quarter or $99.99 a year, with credits from $4.99 for images. Calla is free for unlimited text with full memory, $12.99 a month for Calla+. Nomi's pricing is one of the more honest in this category — one tier, everything core included — and worth saying so.

The iOS app has not had a native update since March 2025, and the Android app is a wrapper around the website. The real product is the web app. Calla is a progressive web app you can install, plus an SFW build on Google Play.

If Nomi is working for you, stay. It is a well-made product with a team that talks openly about its own problems, which is rare here. No signup to try. Talk to one right here on this page. A free account — no invite, no card — gets unlimited messages, memory that carries across every conversation, and daily photos. Calla+ is $12.99 a month and adds queue priority, premium models, more photos and more companions.
