What our research says

AIChatting

Cheap, usable without an account, and the character count and per-message word limits are spelled out on the pricing page rather than buried. What you are buying is a wrapper over third-party models renamed in-house, with no API and no way to confirm which model you are actually talking to.

Pros

  • The free tier runs without registration
  • Weekly and annual billing, with the annual plan under $40
  • Per-message word limits are published rather than left vague
  • One account spans web, iOS and Android

Cons

  • Models carry in-house names, so the real provider is opaque
  • Pro pricing is not visible next to Basic on the plans page
  • No API, no team features and no data-residency choices

Poe

Poe makes sense if you want to compare frontier models side by side without paying each vendor, and the custom-bot layer is a cheap way to publish a prompt as a product. The catch is the points meter: one subscription buys wildly different quantities of use depending on which bot you pick, and per-bot costs are Poe's to change, so the plan you buy is not necessarily the plan you keep.

Pros

  • One subscription spans models from several vendors plus image and video generators
  • Custom bots can be built from a prompt and shared or monetised
  • Apps on web, iOS, Android, Mac and Windows
  • A creator API exists for developers

Cons

  • Points pricing makes real capacity hard to predict across models
  • Per-bot point costs and allowances are set by Poe and change over time
  • The home page blocks automated access and the subscription page shows regional prices, so USD figures could not be confirmed from the vendor
  • No team or enterprise tier is visible
