# Noma Review Travel history tracker and AI trip planner for iPhone and web, with no ads and no affiliate links. ## Editor's Score: 68/100 Capability scores 18 because the combination of travel history passport, document vault with WhatsApp ticket parsing, Instagram reel pinning, and AI trip planning is a genuinely differentiated feature set for a personal travel app, but the lack of Android support and the absence of any booking or search integration limits its practical reach. Ease of use scores 19 because the onboarding is low-friction (7-day trial, no credit card friction described, clear pricing page), though the lack of third-party reviews makes the actual in-app experience hard to verify. Value scores 20 because $29.99 per year for an unlimited, ad-free, no-affiliate travel OS is objectively low-cost, and the monthly option at $4.99 is reasonable for short-term use. Delivery scores 11 because there are no independently verifiable user reviews, no App Store rating data surfaced in search, and two of the app's most distinctive claimed features (WhatsApp ticket forwarding and Instagram reel parsing) could not be confirmed as live and working through any third-party source, which is a meaningful uncertainty for a paid product. ## Pros - No affiliate links or ads anywhere in the app, so AI suggestions are not shaped by commission incentives. - WhatsApp ticket forwarding and Instagram reel place-pinning reduce manual data entry in a way most travel apps do not offer. - Annual plan at $29.99 per year ($2.50/month effective) is genuinely low-cost for an ad-free, unlimited-use travel OS. ## Cons - iPhone and web only: there is no Android app, which cuts off a large share of potential users with no stated roadmap for Android support. - No family or group plan: trip invites let you share a specific trip, but each person needs their own paid account, making it expensive for couples or families who travel together regularly. - The document vault and AI planning features are hard to evaluate without hands-on use, and the app has minimal third-party reviews or public user sentiment to draw on, making delivery quality difficult to verify independently. ## Pricing Paid. - Monthly: $4.99/mo - Annual: $29.99/yr Pricing reflects what we saw at the time of review (2026-11).

Directory: https://aitoolseekers.com This review: https://aitoolseekers.com/tools/noma Methodology: https://aitoolseekers.com/how-verification-works ## Verdict Noma is the right pick for frequent travelers who want a private, ad-free record of everywhere they have been and a clean AI planning layer on top. At $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year it is priced fairly, but the lack of a free tier and iPhone-first focus will push casual or Android users elsewhere. If you just want a trip planner without the passport and history angle, there are cheaper or free alternatives that do that single job well. Best for: Frequent travelers who want a permanent, private record of their travel history alongside trip planning. Not for: Android users or anyone who only needs occasional trip planning without a history-tracking layer. ## Overview Noma, built by HouseHoldInc in Bengaluru, is a travel passport and trip planner that sits at the intersection of personal history-keeping and AI-assisted itinerary building. Its core idea is simple: your travel life should live in one private place, not scattered across booking confirmation emails and social feeds. The Passport feature logs every country, region, and place you have visited across all six continents, and the app lets you build that history retroactively, not just going forward. What separates Noma from generic AI trip planners is the input layer. You can forward a ticket via WhatsApp and it lands in the correct trip automatically. Share an Instagram reel and Noma pins the places mentioned in it. That kind of document and media parsing is genuinely useful for people who already live in those apps, and it is a more concrete workflow than the vague 'AI-powered planning' most competitors advertise. The business model is worth noting because it shapes the product. Noma charges a flat subscription and explicitly carries no affiliate links, no sponsored hotel placements, and no ads. The pricing page states plainly that 'you pay for the app, so the app works for you and not for a booking partner.' That is a real design constraint: the app has no financial incentive to steer you toward a particular hotel or flight, which is a meaningful difference from free travel apps that monetize through referral commissions. The tradeoff is that Noma is iPhone and web only. There is no Android app. The feature set, while coherent, is relatively focused: unlimited saved places, a document vault with extraction, public trip links, email invites, a home screen countdown widget, and passport and trip image exports. That is a solid toolkit for a personal travel OS, but it is not a booking engine, and it does not replace tools like Google Flights or hotel aggregators. ## Who should use it Noma fits the traveler who visits a dozen or more countries over a few years and wants a single, private record of that history rather than relying on memory or scattered photos. The retroactive history-filling feature is particularly useful for people who have already traveled extensively and want to document it properly. The WhatsApp ticket forwarding and Instagram reel parsing will appeal to people who already manage their travel life through those platforms and do not want to re-enter data manually. Casual travelers who take one or two trips a year and just need a quick itinerary will likely find the subscription hard to justify, especially without an Android option. If you are primarily looking for AI-generated day-by-day itineraries without the history-tracking layer, ColorSeason AI and similar lifestyle-focused apps in our directory show that the AI Lifestyle Tools category has plenty of single-purpose tools that may fit a narrower need better. For pure trip planning without a subscription, free tools outside our directory such as Google Trips alternatives will serve occasional travelers more economically. ## FAQ Q: Is there a free version of Noma? A: No. Noma has no free tier. Every new subscriber gets a 7-day free trial, after which the monthly plan is $4.99 or the annual plan is $29.99. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are not charged. Q: Does Noma work on Android? A: No. Noma is available on iPhone and in the web browser only. There is no Android app listed or announced on the pricing page. Q: What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription? A: According to the pricing page, your places, trips, and documents are not deleted when you stop paying. You can delete them yourself or email the team to request an export. Q: Is there a family or group plan? A: Not yet. Trip invites let you share a specific trip with someone who has their own Noma account, but each person must hold a separate paid subscription. There is no discounted family plan. Q: Does Noma sell my travel data or use it for advertising? A: The pricing page states explicitly that document contents are never used for advertising, training, or profiling, and that no third party buys your location history. Q: How does the WhatsApp ticket forwarding work? A: You forward a travel ticket to Noma via WhatsApp and the app parses it and places it in the correct trip automatically. This is part of the document vault feature included in both paid plans.
