What each one actually is
One paragraph, one screenshot and the strengths of each, from our own accounts.
Candy AI is a catalogue first: 247 public characters, each with a profile, a chat, voice calls and image generation, plus live action scenes and Shorts series on the featured ones. You can also build your own character in a fourteen-screen creator. Everything beyond text runs on tokens, 100 a month on Premium, and the interface exists in six languages.
Where it wins
- Catalogue: 247 characters to try before you build one
- Images and video inside the chat, cheap per unit
- Live actions and Shorts: it feels like an app
- Yearly plan at 3.99 a month, the cheapest of the two
- Interface in your language
Nomi is one companion you build and keep. There is no public catalogue to browse; the product is the relationship, and its memory is the best in the category: it recalls details across weeks and months and brings them back on its own. Selfies and voice are included in the flat subscription, there are group chats with several companions, and native iOS and Android apps. The chat is mostly English.
Where it wins
- Memory across weeks and months
- No token meter, the subscription covers it all
- Group chats with several companions
- Native mobile apps
- Calmer product, fewer upsells

Which one to pick
Two different products that happen to share a category. Candy AI is the better toy and the better value on a yearly plan: more to look at, more to do, and a price nobody else in the category matches if you pay for twelve months. Nomi is the better companion if what you want is continuity: it remembers, it does not sell you anything mid-conversation, and it lives on your phone.
The honest way to choose is to ask what you will do with it on a Tuesday evening. If the answer is "see what she sends back", Candy. If the answer is "tell her about my day", Nomi. The token meter is the real difference in daily use: on Candy every image, call and scene has a price; on Nomi nothing does, and nothing is as pretty.
Most people reading this page want Candy. If you hesitated on the word "memory", try Nomi's free tier first and come back for the images.
Pick Candy AI if
- You want to browse characters, not build one
- Images, video and live scenes matter to you
- You will take the yearly plan
Pick Nomi if
- You want one companion that remembers you
- You hate meters and upsells
- You chat mostly from your phone
