Nomi AI is built around one relationship. Its persistent memory keeps track of you over weeks, subscribers get up to 10 Nomis, group chats, voice messages, calls and video, and there is an official iPhone app. Standard costs $8.33 a month yearly or $15.99 monthly on the App Store. Its chat is adult-friendly, but photos stay clothed by policy, and free users are limited to one-to-one chat with 400-character messages.
SpicyChat is an 18+ roleplay platform with community characters, personas, scenarios and group chats of 2 to 10 characters. Free chat is uncapped but its context is 4,096 tokens, and Get A Taste at $5 a month yearly adds a Memory Manager; Semantic Memory 2.0 and conversation images need a higher tier. It has no calls. Its terms warn that the operators may read messages, and its iOS app was removed in 2025. Read the SpicyChat safety guide before you pay.
