Venice

Confer

The membership is listed at $34.99 as an in-app purchase on the US App Store with no billing period shown, and the website shows no price before sign-in.
The free plan is capped at 5 chats and a daily message limit; attachments, connectors and folder custom instructions need a membership.
It is available on the web and iPhone only. The App Store listing says the app is only for iPhone and requires iOS 26 or later.
Confer runs on an open-weight model that it selects; its site does not list models from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google.

Venice

The Free plan stops at 10 text and 15 image prompts a day and leaves out document uploads, image understanding and custom system prompts.
Third-party models run in Anonymized mode: Venice hides your identity, but the provider may still process prompts under its own policies.
TEE and end-to-end encrypted models need a paid plan, and E2EE mode turns off web search and memory.
Chat history stays in one browser or device unless you use an encrypted backup or a shared link, and no desktop app is listed.

Confer

End-to-end encrypted history: Chat history, folders, memories and attachments are encrypted with keys derived from a passkey, so the server stores only ciphertext. Recovery keys can unlock the data on your other devices.
Private inference: Prompts travel over an encrypted channel into a confidential VM. The client checks the hardware attestation against a public transparency log, and the code for that environment is published.
Web search, images and file work: Answers can draw on web search with sources and on attached photos and files, and Confer can create or edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations and images or run code.
Memory you control: Persistent memory carries context from one conversation to the next. You can review, edit and delete what it remembers, and import conversations from ChatGPT.
Folders with files and instructions: Folders group conversations, carry their own custom instructions and hold PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets and other files that every chat in the folder can reference.
Client-side connectors: Connectors for Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar run on your device: access tokens are stored encrypted and the results do not pass through Confer's servers in readable form.

Venice

Many models in one app: Text, image, video and audio models from providers such as OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, Meta and Black Forest Labs, plus Claude and Grok models, sit behind one account.
Four privacy modes: Each model shows its mode: Anonymized (identity hidden from the provider), Private (prompts not retained), TEE (run in a secure hardware enclave) or E2EE (encrypted on your device).
Local conversation history: Chats are stored in your browser or on your device, not on Venice's servers. Paid plans add encrypted chat backup and restore.
Image, video and audio generation: Generates, edits and upscales images, and creates video, music and speech with models such as Kling, Runway and Veo. Video and music are paid for with credits.
Web search: Brings current results into answers through Brave with zero data retention or anonymized Google search. Web search is included on the Free plan and is disabled in E2EE mode.
OpenAI-compatible API: One key covers text, image, video, music and speech models, with function calling and web search. API calls are metered in credits, separately from the app's plan limits.
