Nova
AI chatbot app that puts several leading models in one interface
What is Nova?
Nova is a consumer AI chatbot from the Turkish developer ScaleUp, offered on the web and as iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android apps. One interface gives access to models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI and DeepSeek for chat, writing help, web search, image generation and voice conversations. The main features are free; weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions unlock more, at prices shown in the app and in the app stores.
Nova has a free plan. Paid plans start at $4.99 to $7.99 per week, or $39.99 to $59.99 per year (US App Store). See every plan
Good for
- Casual users who want several AI models in one mobile app
- Students looking for homework, essay and proofreading help
- People who prefer to pay by the week instead of committing longer
Worth knowing
- Prices are not on the website: the vendor says they are shown in the app, and the US App Store lists the same plan at several price points.
- The vendor's pages do not say where free use stops or which features need a subscription.
- The site lists macOS, but the Mac version is the iPad app: the App Store marks it as not verified for macOS and requires an Apple M1 chip or later.
- Refunds are generally limited to requests made within 3 days of purchase and after fewer than 20 messages.
Key features
