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

Our verdict

HeyGF has one of the simpler price structures: unlimited messages on every paid tier, with coins for photos and videos as the only difference between tiers. The yearly Casual plan is $8.33 a month, close to the $9.99 monthly price, and full galleries are only on annual plans. Free users get 30 messages a day without a card, but 18+ chat, photos and video are paid.

Nomi AI's Standard plan is $8.33 a month yearly or $15.99 monthly. For that you get persistent memory, calls, group chats, up to 10 companions and an iPhone app, and the free plan keeps one-to-one chat open indefinitely. The trade-off is content: photos stay clothed. Both refund policies rule out partial periods, and a Nomi AI plan bought in an app store is cancelled there (how to cancel Nomi AI).
