The honest brief

Nomi

Layered short/medium/long-term memory plus group chat with multiple companions at once — depth most companion apps lack.

One sub covers multiple companions
Group chat with several at once
Unlimited voice calls on paid tiers
Daily AI image generation on paid tiers

Smaller community than Character.AI
Best features behind paywall
Companion realism still uneven

Tolan

Built against the engagement-bait companion pattern: no romance mode, and it encourages real-world life rather than longer sessions.

4.8-star rating from 130K+ App Store reviews
No romantic or NSFW design
Personality-matched companion
Voice-first, low-friction conversations

iOS only, no Android version
Full features require a subscription
Playful tone won't suit everyone
