Nomi AI vs Selfie

Nomi AI is a platform for conversations with AI companions for friendship, romantic relationships, fantasy roleplay, or mentorship. Users can create a backstory, share preferences, and shape a companion’s personality through conversation. Short-, medium-, and long-term memory retain preferences and roleplay context. Nomis support voice chats and hands-free calls, can optionally message after a user has been away, and can access the internet to discuss shared links or view images. Users can create multiple Nomis for one-to-one or group chats, with memory across both; companions can also send scenario-based selfies, and image and art generation are supported. The service runs on Android, iOS, and web, including a browser-based PWA. Free-tier users retain one-to-one chats, while group chats, video creation, voice messaging, and calls become read-only. The Free plan costs nothing; paid monthly plans include Launch Plan Monthly at $9.99 a month and Standard Plan at $15.99 a month. Nomi is intended for adults only, and its terms prohibit use by anyone under 18.

Selfie is a social network built around AI twins: profiles that answer questions in their owner’s voice from material the owner provides. Users can create a twin from social accounts, photos, documents, links, text, and other content. The creator page names Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, podcasts, and writing as sources. A Selfie can respond while its owner is offline, with persistent memory and extensive customization. The Free plan costs nothing and lets users create a Selfie without a follower minimum. Creators set subscriber prices from $1 to $1,000 per month and keep 75% of subscription revenue. Fans can tip $2, $5, $10, or $25, with creators retaining 75%. Profile merchandise returns 95% before card processing. Payouts use Stripe after identity verification. Selfie runs on iOS and the web, and users must be at least 18.
