Which one is for you
Pick Chatbot App if
- Fits if you want many models and image tools under one membership
- Works for people willing to pay monthly to get past the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you pay monthly: Pro is $29.99, and only the monthly price could be read
- Tight if you stay free: limited messages on one model, no files, images or voice
- Not for you if you might want your money back, as refunds need under 20 messages sent and a request within 3 days
- Watch out: the trial is $1.99 for a week, then $29.99 a month
- Watch out: the maker, HubX, says it is not affiliated with the model providers
Pick Magai if
- Fits if you pay for several AI subscriptions and would rather have one bill
- Works for client work, since each workspace keeps its chats, memories and files apart
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try before you pay, as there's no free plan or trial, only a 30-day refund window
- Pricey if you want the premium models, which the pricing table puts on Pro at $40 a month
- Watch out: each plan is a dollar allowance, and once it's spent you top up $5, $10 or $20 or move up a tier
- Watch out: the pricing table and the rest of the site disagree on whether every plan includes every model
- Skip it if you want a phone app, as it's web only, or need Pro or Ultra seats, which are quoted rather than priced
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAChatbot AppFair | 1.8GPAMagaiWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $29.99 a month, the only price we could read, which is past the $20 where the dearest tenth of this category starts. | DStandard is $20 a month, where this category's dearest tenth starts, and it buys $20 of model usage. The pricing table keeps the premium models for Pro at $40, and when your allowance runs out you top up $5, $10 or $20 or move up a tier. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plan has limited messages with one model and basic web search, and no file upload, image generation, Deep Research or voice. A 1-week trial costs $1.99. | FNothing is free. There's no free plan and no free trial. What you get instead is a 30-day money-back guarantee on every plan, which isn't the same thing: you pay first, then ask for it back. |
| Features | BMany models, image generation, chat with files, Deep Research, agent mode, memory and projects. No gap shows in the job, though the free plan holds most of it back. | BSwitch model mid-chat with a slash and the thread comes with you, with memory shared by every model. Add agents, scheduled tasks, 150+ app connections, MCP, image and video generation and a canvas that exports. The job's covered. |
| Ease of use | BA browser chat with nothing to set up. No store rating is on record. | CNo rating on record for a web app, and there's a bit to learn: you pay by a dollar allowance rather than a message count, and the pricing table and the rest of the site don't agree on which plans include the premium models. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. No apps, extensions or integrations are listed. | BA web app only, with no phone or desktop app on the listing. It does connect to Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot and more than 150 other apps, plus any MCP server you add by its URL. |
| Best for | several chat models and image tools in one membership | one workspace for many models, with shared memory |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
