What our research says

Botlor

Botlor's pitch is breadth over depth — one assistant that can shop, search auctions, and check crypto prices instead of switching apps — built as a progressive web app rather than a native one. The weekly free credits are the only pricing signal on the site itself; the parent's terms reveal a prepaid USD credit balance behind them, but no public rate card.

Pros

  • Access to five switchable frontier language models in one thread
  • Built-in shopping, auction search, and live market/weather data
  • Installable as a home-screen web app on iOS and Android
  • Free credits refreshed weekly, and a named Norwegian operator with an organisation number

Cons

  • No published price list: paid use is a credit balance bought from the parent company with unstated per-action costs
  • No native mobile app, only an installable web app

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

Which one fits

Choose Botlor if you need

  • Users who want shopping, research, and chat in one thread

Choose Poe if you need
