Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • One subscription reaches models from many providers, from £4.99 a month in the UK App Store
  • Shared subscriptions and group chats make it workable for a family or small team
  • Developers can spend the same points through an OpenAI-compatible API

Limitations

  • Points costs differ by bot and message length, so it's hard to tell how far a plan will stretch
  • Free points are a small daily budget, and larger models cost more points per message
  • Chat contents can be passed to model providers and bot developers, according to Poe's privacy policy
  • Subscription fees are non-refundable outside the terms of Poe's refund policy

What it is

Poe is Quora's multi-model chat app. For each conversation you pick a bot: a text model such as GPT-5 or Claude-Sonnet-5, an image or video generator, or one of the bots other users have built. You can bring several models into one thread to compare answers, and group chats hold up to 200 people.

Who it suits

It works best if you want to try several providers without paying each of them, or if you're a developer who wants one API key that reaches many models. If you only ever use one model, paying that provider directly is simpler.

How pricing works

Everything runs on points. Each bot shows what a message costs, and the large models use up an allowance far faster than the small ones. Free users get a daily allowance that resets every 24 hours. In the UK App Store, Basic is £4.99 a month or £49.99 a year and Plus is £19.99 a month or £199.99 a year. Subscribers can buy add-on points, which Poe prices from $30 per million, and those last a year. The UK is on Poe's list of countries where you can subscribe on the web, iOS and Android.

Where it falls short

Points make spending hard to predict, and the help centre doesn't say how many points each plan includes. Poe's privacy policy says model providers and bot developers can receive the contents of your chats, and bot developers may store your chats on their servers to train their models. Keep confidential work elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I subscribe to Poe from the UK?
Yes. Poe's help centre lists the UK as a country where subscriptions are available on poe.com, the App Store and Google Play. The UK App Store shows prices in pounds, starting at £4.99 a month.
Are my Poe chats used to train AI models?
Poe says chats aren't visible to other users unless you share them, but its privacy policy allows model providers and bot developers to receive chat contents, and third-party bot developers may store your chats on their servers to train their models.
Can I call Poe models from my own code?
Yes. Poe has an API at api.poe.com that works with the OpenAI SDK. You create a key at poe.com/api/keys and usage comes out of your points balance.
