Quick verdict
Poe, from Quora, is one chat app for many AI bots: general-purpose bots from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI, Mistral and others, image, video and audio bots, and bots other users create. You pay for bots in compute points. Poe Free gives a daily allowance of points that resets every 24 hours; Poe does not publish how many, and subscriber-only bots and each bot's full context length need a plan.
Subscriptions are sized by points. Before tax, the smallest, 10 thousand points/day, is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year paid up front. The larger tiers are 660 thousand points a month at $19.99 a month ($199.99 a year), 1.65 million at $49.99 ($499.99 a year), 3.3 million at $99.99 ($999.99 a year) and 8.25 million at $249.99 ($2,499.99 a year); Poe marks yearly billing "SAVE 17%". Unused points do not roll over, and extra points cost about $30 per 1M as add-ons. Every tier unlocks each bot's full context, up to 2M tokens depending on the bot, and the subscriber-only bots.
The main limitation is that rights and privacy depend on the bot. Poe's Terms say you retain ownership of Your Content, including bot-generated results, but give no explicit commercial permission, and third-party model policies also apply. Poe's privacy policy says developers of API bots may store your chats to train their models, and no opt-out setting is described. This verdict rests on what Poe documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Many companies' models in one appPoe lists general-purpose bots from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI and Mistral, among others. Its plans page names GPT-5.5, Claude-Opus-4.7, Gemini-3.5-Flash, Nano-Banana-Pro and Veo-3.1, and its login page lists GPT-6.1, Claude-Opus-5.5 and Gemini-4-Argon.
- Image, video and audio botsImage bots include FLUX, Ideogram, Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image; video bots include Veo-3.1, Runway, Luma, Pika and Hailuo; audio bots from ElevenLabs and Cartesia generate speech. All are paid in points, with more generation on paid plans.
- Full context on any paid tierEvery subscription unlocks each bot's maximum input size and chat history, up to 2M tokens depending on the bot, which Poe equates to 1,400,000 words. Free does not get full context lengths.
- Your own botsYou can create prompt bots that run on a chosen model with plain-text instructions, or API bots that run your own code, and keep them private or make them public.
- A cheap first tierThe smallest subscription is $4.99 a month before tax, or $49.99 a year, for 10,000 points a day, with access to the subscriber-only bots.
Limits
- Free points have no numberPlan limit. Free users receive points daily, reset every 24 hours, but Poe does not publish the amount or list which bots free users can afford. Paid points do not roll over.
- Commercial use depends on the botNot verified. Poe's Terms say you retain ownership of Your Content, including bot-generated results, but give no explicit commercial permission, and each third-party model's policies also apply.
- No training opt-out describedPrivacy limit. Poe's privacy policy says developers of API bots may view and store your chats on their servers to train their models, and no page we read describes a setting to opt out.
- Search, research and export are undocumentedNot verified. No official Poe page we read says which bots search the web or show sources, describes a deep research mode, or describes downloading your chat history. The help center still mentions older models.

Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Trying models from several companies without separate subscriptions
- Comparing image, video and speech bots in one place
- Long inputs on paid tiers, up to 2M tokens depending on the bot
- Building your own prompt bot on a model you choose
Look elsewhere if you
- Keeping chats away from bot developers: API bots may store chats to train models
- Commercial work without checking each model's own policies
- Saving unused points: they do not roll over

Using it day to day
Poe runs on the web, in desktop apps and on iOS and Android. Poe also offers OpenAI and Anthropic compatible APIs for external apps, though no editor extension is documented. Each bot costs compute points: Free gets a daily allowance that resets every 24 hours, the smallest subscription gets 10,000 points a day, and the larger tiers get 660 thousand, 1.65 million, 3.3 million or 8.25 million points a month. Unused points do not roll over, and add-on points cost about $30 per 1M.
Subscribing unlocks each bot's full context, up to 2M tokens depending on the bot, and the subscriber-only bots. Poe's plans page offers monthly or yearly billing, with yearly marked "SAVE 17%": the smallest tier is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and the largest $249.99 a month or $2,499.99 a year. Automatic payments are "plus tax, where applicable". You can upload files into chats, with limits that depend on the bot.
Privacy, data and ads
Poe's privacy policy says developers that create bots and apps on Poe using APIs may view and store your chats on their servers to train their models, and we found no opt-out setting. Files you upload to a temporary chat are retained for up to 15 days for safety review. Memory is off by default; when on, it learns your preferences across most official bots, and you can view or delete it in Settings. Whether you can download your chat history, and whether the app shows ads, are not verified.

- Prefer official bots for anything private: Poe says developers of API bots may store chats to train their models.
- If you subscribe, start with the 10,000 points a day tier at $4.99 a month before tax, and move to a monthly points tier, from $19.99 a month for 660 thousand points, if the daily points run short.
- Before commercial use, read the policies of the model behind each bot, as Poe's Terms say they also apply.
- Compare Poe with other assistants on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.
