Luvi AI or Nomi?
Nomi is an AI companion known for its memory: a Nomi remembers across long relationships, sends selfies and art, joins group chats with other Nomis and messages you first, on a monthly subscription with a limited free plan. Luvi AI starts from characters with a story and a portrait, and charges by the reply. Here is where each one is stronger, from Nomi’s public pages in September 2026.

Nomi does better
- Very long, consistent memory across months of conversation.

Luvi AI does better
- Ready-made characters with an original portrait, a personality and a first message, instead of a blank companion to shape.
- Credits instead of a flat monthly fee, with two free replies and no card.
- Photos sent when the moment calls for one, and a performed voice on every reply.

It depends on how much you talk. Luvi charges per use: $9.99 a month buys 100 replies, and a photo costs 10 credits. Someone who chats a little pays less than a flat subscription; someone who sends hundreds of messages a day may pay more than Nomi’s unlimited plan. Both are free to start.

No. The table above lists what Nomi does that Luvi does not, and the other way round. Luvi has no video calls and no mobile app; it runs in the browser.

Not automatically. You can tell a Luvi character what matters about you, or write it into the conversation’s memories, and they will carry it from there.

Adults only. You must be 18 or older, and every character is a consenting fictional adult.
