Who each one suits

Maple AI

  • People who want cloud-hosted models without exposing their chats
  • Professionals working with confidential client or company material
  • Developers routing coding tools through an encrypted API

Venice

  • People who want chat history kept on their own device
  • Trying text, image and video models from many labs in one app
  • Developers who want an OpenAI-compatible API for many model types

Worth knowing

Maple AI

  • Only open-weight models are offered; proprietary models from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google are not part of the lineup.
  • The Free plan leaves out web search, and uploads, voice recording and API access start at Pro for $20 per month.
  • API usage is charged per million tokens at each model's rate, separately from the subscription.
  • Maple Agent, the assistant with long-term memory, is in private beta behind a waitlist.

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.

Key features

Maple AI

End-to-end encrypted chats
Messages are encrypted on the device with a per-account key and decrypted only inside a hardware-isolated enclave for inference. Maple says it cannot read them and does not train on them.
Open models inside enclaves
Open-weight models such as Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Gemma, Llama and OpenAI's GPT-OSS run on GPUs in trusted execution environments, so prompts are not passed to the labs that made them.
Public code and attestation
Client and server code are published on GitHub under the MIT license. Reproducible builds and a signed enclave attestation let anyone check what is running.
Private web search
A search agent queries the web anonymously through Brave's search API and brings current information into the chat. Web search is left out of the Free plan.
Projects, documents and voice
Chats can be grouped into projects and pinned. Pro adds image and document upload in the apps, plus voice recording, inside the same encrypted workspace.
Maple Proxy API
An OpenAI-compatible endpoint that verifies the enclave and encrypts requests from tools such as OpenCode and Goose. API usage is billed per million tokens, apart from the plan price.

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.
