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
