An honest, cited look at Elomia — what it does well (including where it beats FlirtAlly), what it costs, and who it's for. Researched 2026-10-03 · official site.
clinical credibility: a 2021 controlled study plus a 2025 study tie regular Elomia use to reduced depression/anxiety symptoms, and an academic trial for college wellness is underway — FlirtAlly's FEATURES_v3 §1/§13/§27 claim no research of any kind. Be honest about it.
cheap long-term options if the legacy SKUs are live: $19.99/yr or a $129.99 lifetime vs our Spark annual $79.99 (FEATURES_v3 §27) — verify the live SKU before publishing
We publish competitor wins on purpose — a comparison that never loses isn't a comparison.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Notes | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elomia Pro Weekly | $9.99 | — | billed weekly; lowest-commitment SKU on the store listing | reported |
| Elomia Pro Monthly | $13.99 | — | 1-month SKU | reported |
| Pro: Monthly (newest SKU family) | $28.99 | — | newest-generation SKU naming; may be the live post-trial price — unverifiable from outside | reported |
| Elomia Monthly (legacy) | $6.99 | — | legacy non-'Pro' SKU still listed | reported |
Free tier: free download with a 3-day free trial, then auto-renewing subscription (App Store description); whether chat stays usable for free after the trial is unclear Platform variance: all prices read from the US App Store listing (s3); official site prices nothing (s2 — sales-led B2B); homepage mentions Google Play but Play pricing was not checked; iOS app requires iOS 18.1+, dropping older iPhones
Elomia's weekly plan is $9.99 — under our Spark monthly — but Spark includes 200 credits/mo, images, games and a persistent free tier below it; present neutrally with tables
| Capability | Elomia | FlirtAlly |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term memory | personalized content (affirmations, articles, books, motivation) based on conversation history; no layered/long-term memory architecture claimed anywhere medium conf | Four-layer memory with semantic recall — tell them your dog's name today, they ask about it next week.
