The Canadian alternative to Loman.ai — bilingual, with prices on the page
Loman.ai is our most serious competitor: it also takes restaurant orders over the phone. The differences are elsewhere — pricing transparency, native French, local support. Here they are, straight up.

Loman.ai vs Nova: the order-takers face off
Credit where it's due: unlike most 'AI receptionists', Loman transacts during the call — orders, payments, reservations. That's exactly our philosophy. Which makes the comparison all the more useful: with similar features, it's the business models that differ.

When Loman.ai is still the right choice
If your restaurant is in the US, your clientele is English-speaking, and direct order injection into Toast, Square or Clover is your deciding criterion today — Loman is ahead on that specific point, and we won't pretend otherwise.
But if you're in Canada, your customers say 'bonjour-hi', you want to know the price before talking to a salesperson, and local support reassures you — Nova exists precisely for you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Loman.ai vs Nova
How much does Loman.ai cost?
Loman.ai doesn't publish its pricing: the Starter and Premium plans are 'Contact Us' (verified July 2026). Third-party sources report about $199 USD/month, $299 USD with POS injection, plus a setup fee around $149 USD — confirm with them. Nova publishes its pricing: $199 CAD/month, 400 minutes, $900 setup waived at launch.
Does Loman.ai work in French?
Loman advertises 'multi-language support' without listing languages, and nothing on its site targets the francophone market (verified July 2026). Nova is built first for Canada's bilingual reality: automatic FR/EN detection from the first words, switching mid-conversation, included in every plan.
What's the real difference if both take orders?
Three things. Transparency: our prices are public, theirs aren't. Language: FR/EN bilingualism is our home turf. Support: our team configures everything and stays reachable in Moncton — Loman is an American self-serve product. With similar features, you're choosing the business model that fits you.
Loman has POS integrations (Toast, Square...) — what about Nova?
That's Loman's genuine strength today: nine POS integrations advertised. With Nova, orders land in a real-time dashboard (and in the kitchen with RestoVox); POS integrations are on our roadmap. If direct POS injection is your #1 criterion today, we'll say it plainly — and invite you to re-evaluate when our integration ships.
Can I try Nova risk-free?
Yes — that's our structural difference: a 14-day money-back guarantee after activation, on every plan, no commitment. And you can test before paying anything: call our demo at 506-712-0056 and place an order.
