Poe
One app for chatting with AI models from many different labs
rabbit OS3
Task-doing AI agent that works from a chat request
Which one is for you
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
Pick rabbit OS3 if
- Fits if you want to hand over a whole job, such as research or sorting files, in a sentence
- Makes sense if you already own the rabbit r1 and want it to do more
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you use it heavily: the plans jump from $20 to $99 to $199 a month
- Watch out: usage resets every Friday and what you don't use is lost
- Watch out: there's also a five-hour limit, so capacity comes back slowly after a busy stretch
- Tight if you top up: credits are $5 for 250 and need an active plan
- Skip it if you want to see figures first, because the page shows no usage numbers
How we grade them
| 3.4GPAPoeVery good | 1.8GPArabbit OS3Weak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe entry plan is $4.99 a month, or $49.99 for the year, on the US App Store — about a third of this category's middle price, and it opens models from many labs. The catch is that a real monthly pool, 660 thousand points, is $19.99. | D$20 a month is the start of the dearest tenth of AI assistants, and the heavier plans are $99 and $199. The page shows only relative usage levels, never a figure. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free account can chat on a smaller points allowance, but Poe's plans page never says how many points that is. An allowance you can't see the size of is one you'll walk into. | CFree usage of the rabbit-hosted model plus 30 phone minutes, with no card. The page doesn't say whether it renews, so it may be a one-off. |
| Features | BModels from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and other labs on one sign-in, several bots answering in one thread, image and video from FLUX, Ideogram, Veo and Runway, web search, and your own bots with knowledge bases. No voice mode on the listing and no agent or tool use, and every bit of it is metered in points. | CTasks, image creation, connected computers, phone calls and a choice of model. The listing shows no usage figures, so what each plan really buys isn't clear. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 53,800 App Store ratings. Pick a bot and type. The only thing to get your head round is points, since every chat draws on the same pool. | CNo rating on record, and a computer has to be connected before it can touch your files. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, plus an OpenAI-compatible API that reaches hundreds of models on one key and plugs into coding tools like Cursor, Cline and Continue. That's the full set. | CBrowser, Mac and Windows apps, Telegram messaging and the rabbit r1 device. No phone app is listed. |
| Best for | comparing many AI models on one account | an AI agent that does multi-step jobs from one request |

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.
