DarLink AI vs Nomi AI: which AI girlfriend app is better?

Our verdict

Nomi AI is the safer long-term pick. Standard costs $8.33 a month yearly or $15.99 monthly on the US App Store, the free plan keeps one-to-one chat going indefinitely, and paid users get calls, group chats and up to 10 companions. It keeps photos clothed by policy, and refunds are only at its discretion.

DarLink AI hides its subscription price until you are inside the app, and no refund policy is published, so read the checkout carefully. The free plan is decent for a trial: 5 messages, 3 images a day, 5 audio messages and access to public group chats. FAMELINK SA in Switzerland runs it (more in the DarLink AI review). Choose it if you want explicit content, which Nomi AI's image policy does not allow.
