The home page answers HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but the subscription page did render: five tiers sold on yearly billing — 10,000 points a day, then 660,000, 1.65 million, 3.3 million and 8.25 million points a month — shown to the fetcher in Polish zloty (zl 249.99 a year for the entry tier) although the page says prices are in US dollars, so no USD figure could be confirmed. Search snippets of the same page list the tiers at $49.99, $199.99, $499.99, $999.99 and $2,499.99 a year, and the vendor help centre says plans start at $4.99 a month; unused points do not roll over, add-on points start at $30 per million and expire after a year, and free users get a daily allowance that resets every 24 hours.
Use tool ↗About Poe
Poe, from Quora, is a single app for chatting with models from several vendors — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others — alongside image, video and audio generators, with the ability to build and share custom bots on top of them. Every message costs points from a daily free allowance or a monthly subscription pool, and each bot is priced differently, so the same plan buys very different amounts of use depending on the model chosen. It runs on the web and in mobile and desktop apps, and a creator API lets developers expose their own bots inside Poe.

Pros & cons of 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
Best for
- 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
Not for
- Heavy users of one model, who get more from that vendor's own subscription
- Teams needing admin controls, data-residency guarantees or an enterprise contract
Watch out: Points per message differ by bot by an order of magnitude; a subscription sized for a cheap model can run dry in days on a frontier reasoning model.
