What our research says

Magai

Worth it only if you genuinely bounce between GPT, Claude and Gemini every day and resent paying three $20 subscriptions. If you live inside one model, its native app is the same price and always ahead on features.

Pros

  • Model switching mid-conversation keeps the thread intact
  • Imports existing ChatGPT and Claude conversation history
  • Team seats are a flat $20 rather than usage-based billing
  • Canvas editor, folders and personas cut copy-paste into other tools

Cons

  • No free trial at all — you pay first and lean on the 30-day refund
  • Usage sold as an opaque 'allowance' with no published token or message numbers
  • Aggregators trail native apps on new modalities, agents and connectors
  • No API means nothing built here is automatable

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 Magai if you need

Choose Poe if you need

  • People who want several vendors' models under one login and one bill
  • Creators publishing custom bots without hosting anything
  • Comparing model answers side by side before committing to one vendor
