What our research says

GetBotAI

A model-aggregating sidebar is a convenient shape: one shortcut, several model families, sitting on top of the page you are reading. GetBot is one of dozens doing exactly that, and at $7.99 a month it is priced below most of them, though the advanced-model allowance on that tier is only 200 credits. What it still does not tell you is who runs it, since no company or country is published.

Pros

  • Several model families reachable from a single panel
  • Opens over any page with a keyboard shortcut
  • Covers summarise, translate, rewrite and reply on selected text
  • A daily free allowance and a $7.99 entry tier, cheaper than most sidebar rivals

Cons

  • Advanced models are rationed tightly: 200 credits a month on Silver, 400 on Gold
  • No company name, country or legal entity published
  • Crowded category with near-identical competitors
  • The pricing page renders only in JavaScript, so plan terms are hard to check before signing in

Sider

Sider puts a chat panel on top of whatever page you're on, so you can ask about an article or PDF without copying it into a separate tab. The catch is that heavier use beyond the free daily cap needs a paid tier, and pricing quoted across review sites is inconsistent, so the entry price is worth confirming before committing.

Pros

  • Works as a sidebar on any web page rather than a separate chat tab
  • Routes one prompt to several models (GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok)
  • Ships native apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac plus browser extensions
  • Can chat with PDFs and YouTube videos, not just plain text

Cons

  • Free tier is capped at a small number of daily uses
  • Independent pricing write-ups disagree on exact plan costs depending on where you check
  • No public API for developers
