> Poe
Poe is Quora's multi-model chat product that aggregates GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi and image/video/audio bots behind one subscription and one points balance rather than separate provider plans. Official subscription plans are annual: $49.99/year ($4.17/month) for 10 thousand points per day, $199.99/year for 660 thousand points per month, $499.99/year for 1.65 million, $999.99/year for 3.3 million and $2,499.99/year for 8.25 million points per month, with an add-on rate of $30 per 1M points that subscribers can buy for API or one-off use. Non-paying users receive points daily that reset every 24 hours and never roll over; Poe's help centre states subscriptions start at $4.99/month.
// pros
- One subscription spans multiple model providers, and Poe documented rates showing cache discounts of roughly 50% on applicable OpenAI models and 90% on applicable Anthropic models
- Points are fungible across every bot, and each bot publishes a rate card plus an approximate first-message cost, so spend can be allocated per model
- Per-chat and global per-message budgets exist, and Poe will notify you before a message exceeds the budget unless you explicitly agree
- Subscribers can buy add-on points at $30 per 1M points with no transaction fees, valid for one year, and shared subscriptions can pool points across invited members
- API access is available via a Poe API key to the same bots, and the product exposes full context (up to 2M tokens) rather than provider-side hourly caps
// cons
- Free-tier point allotment is not published on official pages: the FAQ confirms non-paying users receive daily points that reset every 24 hours but never states how many
- The dedicated pricing URL (poe.com/pricing) returns a 404, so plan details must be read from poe.com/subscription_plans and the help centre, which quote different entry points ($4.17/month annual versus 'starting at $4.99/month')
- Unused points generally do not roll over, and add-on points are explicitly non-refundable, non-transferable and not redeemable for cash
- Subscription availability is country-limited, and platform of purchase locks management and upgrades to that platform (web, Apple or Google)
Use Poe when the requirement is broad model access and human-facing chat rather than programmatic scale, since the fixed annual plan plus a $30 per 1M add-on rate compares well against stacking several $20/month single-provider plans. For production API traffic where per-request cost predictability matters, map Poe's point-to-token rates against direct provider pricing before committing to an annual tier.

Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: Poe gives non-paying users daily compute points that reset every 24 hours, but no official page fetched states the daily quantity, and poe.com/pricing returns 404, so no dollar value is claimed (checked 2026-09-16).

$ Does Poe have a free tier?
Yes — Poe offers a free tier. Always confirm current limits on Poe's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does Poe cost per 1M tokens?
Poe does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is Poe safe to use?
Uprouter rates Poe as medium risk. Risk level: moderate. Billing is prepaid and pre-committed annually with non-refundable add-on points, and the free daily allowance is undisclosed, so cost exposure is capped but flexibility is limited. Data terms carry consumer-service characteristics: the FAQ notes third-party bot providers' own policies apply per model, memory is off by default but syncs context to model providers when enabled, and temporary-chat uploads may be retained up to 15 days for safety review, which argues against regulated or confidential workloads. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
Raw community sentiment, shown unblended. Votes never feed into objective data fields like price, risk, or status — and never into sort order.
