The Snyder-de Sitter (SdS) model is a generalization of the Snyder model to a spacetime background of constant curvature. It is an example of noncommutative spacetime admitting two fundamental scales beside the speed of light, and is invariant under the action of the de Sitter group. Here, we consider its nonrelativistic counterpart, i.e. the Snyder model restricted to a three-dimensional sphere, and the related model obtained by considering the anti-Snyder model on a pseudosphere, that we call anti-Snyder-de Sitter (aSdS). We discuss the classical and the quantum mechanics of a free particle and of an oscillator in this framework. In analogy with the flat case, the properties of the SdS and aSdS model are rather different. In the SdS case, a lower bound on the localization in position and momentum space exists, which does not arise in the aSdS model. In both cases the energy of the harmonic oscillator acquires a dependence on the frequency, but the quantum mechanical aSdS oscillator admits only a finite number of states.
