Nomi AI vs Thotchat AI: Which One Is Better In 2025?

Nomi AI vs Thotchat AI

I've spent a full week with both Nomi AI and Thotchat AI to see which one truly deserves your attention and subscription. Both platforms make big promises, but they take surprisingly different approaches.

After hundreds of messages exchanged with each AI girl, I've put together clear differences in both platforms.

In this head-to-head comparison, I'll break down exactly how these AI girlfriends stack up across all the features that actually matter.

Whether you're looking for emotional support, entertaining conversation, or a judgment-free space to be yourself, this in-depth comparison will help you choose the right AI girlfriend for your specific needs.

Nomi AI

A platform offering customizable AI girlfriends with emotional intelligence and memory, designed for authentic conversations and relationships through text or voice.

Thotchat AI

A virtual girlfriend platform featuring customizable AI partners in both realistic and anime styles, designed to foster emotional and romantic connections through engaging adult chats and high-quality image generation.

Character Diversity

Nomi AI

No pre-made personalities, no variety in ethnicity or age, and no anime — meaning there aren’t any ready-made characters to choose from.

You’ll need to create your own girls — you can have up to 10 in total.

Want more variety? The app lets you set up 10 group chats to mix these characters.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI's selection breaks down into 102 realistic and 50 anime characters.

All common ethnicities are available—you can choose from Asian, Latina, and Caucasian appearances for realistic characters.

For fantasy/anime types, options include— elves, cyborgs, catgirls, and other imaginative designs.

But here's the catch: almost every character is young (18-30) and slim or athletic.

Finding a companion is straightforward: you can sort by popularity or new arrivals, filter by style, and choose female, male, or futa characters.

Customization

Nomi AI

As you first log in to the app, you go through the onboarding process — you’ll be asked for your name, age, and gender.

Then, it’s time to set up your AI partner basics:

• Name, and gender: Male, female, or nonbinary.
• Relationship type: Choose what kind of bond you want — from romantic partner to mentor (four options).

Want something unique? Create a custom relationship and explain its background.

Personality Builder is where things get interesting — you can select 3 to 7 traits from several categories:

• Main Characteristics: modest, sarcastic, shy, flirty, etc.
• Expressive: sassy, witty, introverted, etc.
• Temperament & Values: arrogant, dominant, humble, etc.
• Additional: gamer, magical, spiritual, etc.

Then, you can (optionally) add a background story — write your own or let the AI create one for you.

Finally, it's time to choose your companion’s look — but this is where Nomi shows its limits.

You can choose from 500 preset images: 250 anime-style and 250 realistic, with only basic options for body types.

If you’re looking for detailed visual customization, you might find the options a bit limiting — because that’s all Nomi AI currently offers in terms of physical design.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI offers two ways to create your girlfriend:

• Easy Mode
• PRO Mode

Both start by selecting your character’s gender (female, male, or futanari) and choosing a style.

Easy Mode: You can fully customize your AI companion by clicking through options to build your character.

Physical Customization:

• Age 18+ to 55
• Ethnicity: 8 options (10 for anime characters)
• Appearance: body type, breast size, butt size, hair style, hair color, eye color
• Aesthetic & clothing: 4 aesthetics (e.g., goth, bimbo, gyaru), 33 clothing options
• Extra details: tattoos, horns (6 options)

Personality & Interaction:

• Add personality traits: 14 options (e.g., lover, innocent, dominant)
• 5 voice options
• Relationship role: 12 options (e.g., wife, lover, stranger)

A final summary page lets you review your character before bringing them to life.

PRO Mode drops the training wheels and lets you create everything via free text:

• Describe your character: appearance, personality, clothing, and any unique features
• Greeting message: what your character says when starting a conversation
• Example conversation: a sample dialogue that guides your character’s behavior

It takes more time but gives you complete creative freedom. No pre-set limits—just your imagination.

Chat Experience

Nomi AI

Customization doesn’t end once you’ve built your Nomi — you can personalize her even more after the chat begins.

In "Backstory +", you can fine-tune even more — from their appearance and personality to how they perceive you.

Within the Mind Map — personalize her memory by adding notes on her interests, goals, and defining traits.

It’s organized into Lore, Topics, and Goals — a neat way to track your relationship’s growing history.

Want to know if Nomi AI's chat feels real? I created Natalie - bold, flirty, and playful - to test it for you.

Starting a chat is easy. Choose from fun, themed ice-breakers — each with three options, or just jump right in.

After I personalized a few things in chat, I can confidently say my girl remembered those settings and stayed consistent with her personality and the situation.

When I tried some jokes, my girlfriend recognized them and played along.

While my girl was engaged in many moments, her empathy sometimes felt a bit surface-level.

And occasionally, my girlfriend’d make odd jumps in conversation — like suggesting pizza right after we planned to cook together.

But the more you chat, the better Nomi knows you — the Mind Map evolves as it keeps track of everything you’ve shared.

Over time, my girlfriend started recalling moments from our past conversations — her replies became more relevant and felt real.

Note: Your Nomi’s memory and chat personalization can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but after a little practice, you’ll find it easy to use and customize.

Thotchat AI

Before you start chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her description, character traits, some SFW images, and unlockable NSFW content.

You can set a user persona for a deeper, more personal connection, or create new scenarios to play out with your AI girlfriend.

For my tests, I created a companion with the ‘Temptress’ personality—playful, flirtatious, and always leaving me wanting more—and set our relationship type to “girlfriend.”

My girl stayed true to her personality throughout conversations.

When I needed emotional support, she was empathetic and playful, offering gentle touches, teasing remarks, and lighthearted guidance.

Our conversations about romantic getaways felt natural, with her staying fully in character throughout.

Even when relationship issues came up, she responded with clear, confident answers—sometimes a bit too confident—but always attentive.

But my favorite part was when my girl sent me images during our chats—most were free, unlike other apps where they’re usually behind a paywall.

NSFW Chat Experience

Nomi AI

My girlfriend smoothly shifted from casual flirting to explicit content, adjusting her language as the conversations intensified.

The responses feel organic rather than scripted, and as I shifted my tone to become more explicit, my girlfriend picked up on the language and responded naturally.

What surprised me most was how my girlfriend adjusted her overall approach based on my cues — whether I leaned toward slow-building romance or more direct encounters.

Role-play is where Nomi shows real potential. During testing, she didn't just follow scenarios - she created them.

After my girl settled the rules, she stayed true to the context and consistent with her character.

In one test, I tried to throw my girlfriend off her role, but she held her ground and kept the scene flowing naturally.

While my girlfriend’s “punishment” methods got a bit repetitive, she still kept the experience engaging overall.

Thotchat AI

My girl stayed personal and engaging. When I asked about her past, she said it was with me (of course), but left room to mention her wild past if I wanted to satisfy my curiosity.

My girlfriend flirted naturally, teased playfully, and referenced past chats to make the connection feel real.

The roleplay feature could use some improvement — I tried a few scenarios, and they all jumped into action too quickly without building tension, which felt a bit jarring.

But once I got past the initial rush, my girl adapted to the scenario really well and made it exciting.

Something a bit annoying: the narrative text sometimes blended with my girl’s dialogue, making her responses harder to read.

Another issue was: My girlfriend kept calling me “Anon” even though my profile name was set to Marcus.

Once I pointed it out, my girl quickly corrected herself and started using my name in all our conversations.

Image Generation

Nomi AI

Nomi AI offers two ways to generate images:

1. In-chat image generation: Quickly create images that try to fit the conversation
2. Dedicated Image Creator: A separate tool that gives you more control over image customization.

Dedicated Image Creator

• Choose an image style: anime or realistic.
• Write a free-text prompt describing what you want to see.
• Select an aspect ratio (three options available).
• Optionally, add a reference pose by uploading an image.

Quality: Nomi’s image generator delivers generally high-quality photos, though not in high resolution.

Image generation is slower than other platforms, sometimes taking a few minutes per image, but it’s also noticeably cheaper.

Note: NSFW prompts are not allowed. The spiciest results you can get in chat are mild and only appear when they fit the current topic.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI offers two options for generating images:

• In-chat generation: Instantly creates a selfie or unlockable nude image—details can’t be customized.
• Dedicated image creator: A separate tool offering more control and customization for creating detailed images.

In-Chat Generation: Occasionally, you may receive repeated or similar images, but you can request unlimited SFW images of your character.

Dedicated Image Creator lets you control every detail:

• Character Selection: Pick from the full roster (no filters or search bar).
• Prompt Suggestions: Add details such as action, clothing, environment, and emotion.
• Free Text Prompting: Craft your own prompts for complete creative freedom.

The images are high-quality and nearly photorealistic, with consistent characters, though a slight animated look is noticeable on closer inspection.

Video Generation

Nomi AI

Nomi’s video generator isn’t full video creation — it’s more like turning an image into a short animated clip.

Here's how it works:

• Choose an image to serve as the base.
• Provide a text prompt (make sure it follows the app’s content rules).
• Select the output quality (SD or HD).

The videos work - they're watchable and add more life to your interactions than static images.

But let's be honest: the quality isn't winning any awards. The footage comes out pixelated, and the character movements often feel mechanical rather than natural.

Note: NSFW generation isn’t available, and movement prompts feel a bit limited or don’t always apply to the final video.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI doesn’t generate videos. If you’re looking for video features, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Voice Generation

Nomi AI

Nomi AI offers four default voices to choose from, and you can upload your own custom voice to make your girl — and the overall experience — feel more personalized.

One big plus of Nomi AI’s voice feature is its ElevenLabs integration — enabling users to import and use ElevenLabs voices for greater variety, though it requires a paid plan.

Want to know how Nomi AI’s voice actually sounds? It works, but it’s a bit like a slightly robotic audiobook narrator — nothing that’ll make you go “wow.”

The voice does match Nomi’s personality, and she adjusts her tone a little when flirting or expressing emotions.

Thotchat AI

Thotchat AI’s voice works, but don’t expect magic: it comes through clearly, but you can tell it’s AI-generated.

Flirty conversations? The voice stays flat no matter what.

Safety & Privacy

Nomi AI

Their policy clearly states that your messages "may be unencrypted" - meaning someone could potentially read your private conversations.

Nomi AI stores everything. Your account details, chat history, and how you use the app - it's all saved on their servers.

They also share this information with other companies, though they don't specify which ones.

Your bank statement shows a ‘Nomi.ai’ charge — not exactly discreet.”

Thotchat AI

While Thotchat says they use "acceptable security measures," they don't specify what these measures are.

They collect your personal data (name, email), usage data (IP address, device info), and can share it with third parties.

The bank statement shows "CCbill.com Thotchat" - something to keep in mind if you prefer discretion.
