Many AI models in one subscription

Freemium · $5AI assistants

Poe is an AI assistants tool for Creators, offered as freemium ($5/mo). Based in United States, founded in 2022. Popular alternatives include ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity.

About Poe

Poe is an AI chat platform from Quora that gives access to many AI models in a single app and subscription. Launched in 2023, it offers text models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and others alongside image, video and audio generators, plus thousands of bots built by its community on top of those models.

Usage is metered with compute points: each message costs a number of points that depends on the model, and the free plan includes a daily allowance while paid tiers provide larger budgets. This makes it easy to compare GPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama answers to the same question or to bring a different model into a conversation. File uploads and web search are supported on capable models. Creators can build bots from prompts or connect their own server endpoints, and Poe shares revenue with creators whose bots drive subscriptions or usage. Apps are available on web, desktop and mobile.

Poe fits curious users, writers and developers who want to experiment with many models without paying for several subscriptions. Heavy users of a single model often get better limits, features and the newest releases in that vendor's own app, the points system can be hard to predict for expensive models, and team and admin controls are minimal. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini offer deeper single-model experiences, while OpenRouter serves developers who need multi-model API access.
