What happened

Nomi and Kindroid, two smaller companion apps, price memory and message volume through separate subscription tiers, as their app-store listings state on retrieval. Nomi's listing shows a Launch Plan at $9.99 monthly or $59.99 yearly, and a Standard Plan at $15.99 monthly, $39.99 quarterly or $99.99 yearly, alongside separate credit packs for images. Kindroid's listing shows a base subscription from $15.99 monthly, an Ultra tier at $28.99, and a MAX tier at $68.99, plus paid add-on 'slots and credits'.

What the documents show

Both listings describe age-restricted, 18+ apps whose paid tiers are named by capacity rather than by one added feature. Nomi's own company site, by contrast, states only that it is 'free (no credit card required) to start chatting', without listing the paid tiers itself — the concrete prices exist in the store listing, not on the marketing homepage. This gap between the two document types is itself informative: a company's own site can describe an app as free while the priced structure of that access lives entirely in a separate document, the store listing, that a reader must find independently.

The mechanism

Both apps' tier names point to the same underlying cost driver: sustained conversation with a model is not free to run, so higher tiers are sold as more memory, more messages, or more image generations, rather than as a qualitatively different companion. Kindroid's listing references a 'journal entry' feature offered as a workaround for memory limits, which indicates memory is a bounded, managed resource rather than an unlimited running log. Nomi's credit packs for images work the same way — a separate, metered allowance stacked on top of a conversation subscription — showing that text and image generation are billed as distinct costs even within one companion relationship.

What it leaves open

Neither listing states the technical size of a memory allowance in tokens, messages, or days, so a reader cannot compare the two apps' limits directly from what is published. Store listings can also change without notice, and this description reflects only the tiers visible on 16 September 2026. This is an editorial observation, not a stated fact: pricing memory by tier suggests both companies treat long-term recall as a cost centre, not a settled, fixed feature.

• Does the company's own site state its paid tiers, or only the store listing?
• Is a memory limit described in concrete units, or only through workaround features like journal entries?
• Are image or voice generation billed separately from ordinary conversation?

Both apps describe free entry points, but their own store listings show that continuity and volume — the two things a long relationship with a companion actually requires — are what the paid tiers are built around.
