Poe

Poe is a multi-model AI chat app from Quora that lets you talk to many leading AI models in one place. It is built for anyone who would rather not pay for several separate AI subscriptions, from casual users to developers comparing outputs. You can chat with GPT-5.5, Claude, and Gemini, generate images and video, and group several models in one thread.

Key Highlights

• Access to thousands of models, including GPT-5.5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and image and video models
• One subscription and one set of compute points shared across every model
• Group chats where multiple AI models respond in the same thread
• Custom bots you can build with your own prompts, knowledge, and model choice
• Web, desktop, iOS, and Android apps that sync your conversations

What Makes It Different

Poe's main draw is aggregation: instead of separate accounts and bills for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, you get all of them behind one login and one payment. A shared compute points system meters usage, so heavier models cost more points per message and lighter ones cost fewer.

The other differentiator is the bot ecosystem. Anyone can build a custom bot from a base model, a system prompt, and uploaded knowledge, then publish it for others to use.

Features & Capabilities

You pick a model or bot, type a prompt, and Poe returns the response while syncing your chat history across devices. Group chats compare several models on one question side by side, useful for checking facts or finding the strongest answer. Poe also routes to image and video generators from the same interface.

Developers can connect their own models through Poe's server bot protocol, and creators can monetize bots that drive subscriptions, with Poe handling billing and distribution.

User Ratings and Testimonials

Poe is generally well reviewed as a convenient hub for trying many AI models without juggling subscriptions, with praise for the breadth of models and group chats. Common criticisms are that the compute points system is hard to budget, that the most capable models burn through points quickly, and that power users sometimes prefer a provider's native app for the newest features.

Pricing & Value

• Free: $0, with a daily message allowance (around 100 messages a day) and access to the model catalog, enough for light use
• Starter: about $4.99/month for a smaller allowance (around 10,000 points a day)
• Subscription: $19.99/month, or $199.99/year (about $16.67/month), with a 1 million monthly points allowance across premium models
• Teams: $249.99/month, with up to 12.5 million monthly points for heavy and business use

Compute points do not roll over between periods. The free tier is enough to test the breadth of models, while the $19.99/month subscription is the practical entry point for regular use of more than one premium model.
