NanoGPT

Venice

NanoGPT

The free allowance is a single model on the web; everything else needs a prepaid balance or the Pro plan.
Pro's weekly allowance covers only the models included in the subscription; others, such as Claude Opus 5.5, are still billed per use.
Pinning a specific provider by hand adds 5%, and bring-your-own-key requests are billed at 5% of the normal model cost.
Access is through the website and the API; the pricing page mentions no desktop or mobile apps.

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.

NanoGPT

Hundreds of models in one place: The model directory lists 641 text, 224 image, 183 video, 98 audio and 13 3D models, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, all used from one chat interface and one balance.
Per-use billing at list prices: Text models are billed at the provider's list price per million tokens with no markup, and deposits carry no percentage fee. Each API response reports the exact cost charged.
OpenAI-compatible API: The API follows OpenAI's chat completions and Responses formats and Anthropic's Messages format, and also covers images, video, audio, embeddings, web search and batch jobs.
No stored prompts by default: Prompt and conversation content is not kept on NanoGPT's servers unless you turn on sync or sharing, and the service can be used in an anonymous session with no account.
Card and crypto payments: A balance can be started from $1 by card or $0.10 in cryptocurrency. Selected API endpoints also accept accountless crypto payments with no API key.
TEE-backed models: Some models run in trusted execution environments, and the API returns attestation reports and request signatures so that this can be verified.

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.
