Nomi vs Kindroid vs Replika: the mobile companion apps compared

If you want a companion on your phone rather than in a browser tab, the shortlist narrows fast, because app-store rules push most adult-first platforms to the web. Nomi AI, Kindroid and Replika are the three with native iOS and Android apps that also have real memory systems. They differ most on how memory works, what they charge, and what they allow. This comparison uses the published terms, App Store listings and documentation as of September 2026.

At a glance

Memory

Kindroid is the only app in the category that prints its numbers: 500,000 tokens of total context on Standard, 1.3 million on Ultra and 2.8 million on MAX, with journals and key memories on top. Nomi takes the other approach, layering short, medium and long-term memory behind a mind map you can inspect, with releases through 2025 devoted to it. Both are strong; Kindroid is more transparent, Nomi more visible. Replika has rebuilt its memory architecture in 2026 and still collects forgetting complaints faster than either rival.

Pricing

Nomi and Kindroid start at the same $15.99 a month on the App Store. Nomi’s annual plan is $99.99; Kindroid’s is $159.99 but its web price is reported lower, and its Ultra and MAX add-ons are monthly only and stack, so the top configuration is about $99 a month. Replika has no price page at all; Pro is reported at $19.99 a month or $69.99 a year with Ultra above that. None of the three refunds a purchase.

Content policy

This is the real divider. Kindroid allows adult content between adults, states it, and verifies age through Yoti without storing the images. Nomi’s terms require users to be 18 and say nothing about adult content; the community wiki explains that explicit images are filtered for payment and store reasons while mature text is tolerated, and paid web users get the most permissive setting. Replika prohibits pornographic content, restricts romantic status to paid plans, and offers erotic roleplay only to accounts created before February 2023, the month Italy’s data regulator intervened; the same regulator fined Luka €5 million in 2025 over the absence of age verification.

Verdict by use case

• Deepest memory and an adult-allowed policy: Kindroid.

• Memory you can see and calls included in the price: Nomi.

• Voice, video, AR and VR on a mainstream app with no adult content: Replika.

• Budget: Nomi’s $99.99 annual plan; Replika’s reported $69.99 if you can live with its limits.

For readers who want explicit images and video rather than a phone app, the browser-based platforms in the directory, MyBabes among them, are a different category with different trade-offs.
