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.
