They are a goal and accountability assistant that lives in your texts (iMessage plus a companion iOS app). Available now at tomo.ai. About FAQ base plan starts at $19.99 a month. We are the public US and Canada number you can text today with 50 free messages, native Android SMS/RCS, Docs and Sheets on /connect, and clear $15 unlimited pricing.
This is not a ChatGPT comparison. That post is already written: Why Use AI Chat SMS When You Can Just Use ChatGPT?.
We already compared Instinct, Homer, Dunnit, Pally, Poke, Sidekicks, Martin, TwoThumbs, Olly, and Sarai. Provider pages cover Sendblue and Twilio. Tomo is the next Direct page.
What Tomo says
From tomo.ai and tomo.ai/about: personal AI champion in your texts. Homepage CTA: Text your Tomo / Get started. Marketed as trusted by 500,000+. Built by Mapo Labs, Inc. (San Francisco). Available now. Not a waitlist.
They market learning your goals, holding you accountable, reminders, web search, calendar and email management, proactive check-ins, joining group chats, watching videos, and editing photos. Heavy users get a companion iOS app that generates personalized goal tools (workout trackers, budgets, morning unlock games) per their App Store and funding coverage.
Pricing from their About FAQ: base plan starts at $19.99 a month. Other plans with more expansive messaging limits. Promotions vary. Cancel in the dashboard. We are not inventing a free tier they do not publish on About. Third-party listings also show weekly or annual SKUs. Prefer the About FAQ unless a live pricing card says otherwise.
Channels: marketed as texts / iMessage. App Store also says message in texts or open the app. We are not inventing full native Android SMS or RCS parity on their side.
Connects marketed on About: calendar, email, and more. We are not inventing Docs, Sheets, Notion, Drive, or Outlook on their side unless they publish them.
We are not going to publish any of their phone numbers. Link tomo.ai. Keep the logo.
We are not inventing Docs or Sheets on their side. We are not claiming we book travel, outbound-call, or operate a computer.
