Ninja AI
Credit-based AI agent that picks from several models
Poe
One app for chatting with AI models from many different labs
Which one is for you
Pick Ninja AI if
- Fits if you want an agent to run longer tasks for you, not only answer chats
- Works for small teams of up to 5 sharing one pool of credits
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: the credits are one-time, with a daily limit
- Pricey if your tasks are long: the cost of a task depends on its complexity and duration
- Watch out: the pricing page shows credit steps up to thousands of dollars a month
- Watch out: data-training opt-out, workspace management and priority support are Business only
Pick Poe if
- Fits if you want to compare models from many labs without paying each one
- Works for developers who want one API key for models from many labs
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you dislike meters, as everything is counted in compute points and extra points are sold on top
- Skip it if you want to know the free limits first, because Poe doesn't publish them
- Tight if you chat in bursts, as the entry plan's 10 thousand points come by the day, not as a monthly pool
- Pricey if you need a monthly pool: 660 thousand points are $19.99 a month, and the top plan is $249.99, before regional taxes
- Too light for voice or agents, as the listing shows no voice mode and no tool use

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.
