Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 12 of the 57 other AI assistants we grade
ChatLLM is Abacus.AI's multi-model assistant. For one monthly fee per user it gives access to more than 100 chat, image and video models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight labs, and a router called RouteLLM can pick the model for each task. The subscription also includes limited use of the Abacus AI Agent, which builds and hosts apps, creates slides and documents and runs automated tasks; the Pro tier removes those limits.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about ChatLLM, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Leave the picker on Auto and it chooses the model, so you needn't know which is which.
- 1
Best for many AI models on one $10 subscription
An agent that builds apps, slides and reports is included in limited form.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $10 per user / month (Basic).
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 4
100+ models with automatic routing
Chat with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight labs, or leave the picker on Auto and RouteLLM chooses a model for each task.
- 5
Abacus AI Agent
A general-purpose agent that builds and hosts apps from a description, creates slides, documents and research reports, and automates work with tasks and triggers.
- 6
Image and video generation
Image models include Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and FLUX. Video generation runs through Abacus AI Studio with models such as Veo, Kling and Seedance.
- 7
A 2.4 GPA, above 12 of 57
That is against the other AI assistants we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace ChatLLM you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for many AI models on one $10 subscription
ChatLLM is Abacus.AI's bundle subscription: more than 100 chat, image and video models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and others for $10 a month per user, with a router that picks the model. An agent that builds apps, slides and reports is included in limited form. But there's no free plan or trial, heavy models and video eat credits faster, the agent stops at 3 tasks on Basic, and refunds aren't given for poor results.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $10 a user a month, the middle of this category, and it covers every chat, image and video model with 20,000 credits. The agent stops at 3 limited tasks, though, and lifting that means Pro at $20. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing is free. No free plan and no free trial, so the first look costs money. The nearest thing to a taster is a first month of Basic at $7 instead of $10, and that month brings 14,000 credits rather than 20,000. |
| Features | B | More than 100 models with RouteLLM picking one for you, an agent that builds apps, slides and reports, image and video generation, file and data analysis, web search and a team workspace. That's the job covered. |
| Ease of use | A | 4.9 from about 3,600 App Store ratings. Leave the picker on Auto and it chooses the model, so you needn't know which is which. Credits are the thing to watch, as heavy models, images and video eat them faster. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android with a voice mode, plus a Chrome extension, and it connects to Slack, Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Salesforce and Gmail, with an API that routes between models. No desktop app in the platform list. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ChatLLM is for
- Fits if you want many frontier models without a subscription to each lab
- Works for teams that want chat, an agent and app building on one bill
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to try before you pay, as there's no free plan or free trial
- Tight if you want the agent on Basic, which stops at 3 tasks of limited complexity and 3 Studio conversations
- Skip it if you expect refunds for poor results, since Abacus.AI says it gives none based on output or performance
- Watch out: heavy models, images, video and agent tasks burn through the 20,000 monthly credits faster
- Pricey if you're a team, as it's $10 for every user, and $20 each with Pro
Good to know
Good for
- People who want many frontier models at a low per-user price
- Teams that want chat, an agent and app building in one subscription
- Developers who want an API that routes between models
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan or free trial. Billing is monthly at $10 per user, or $20 per user with Pro.
- Usage runs on credits: Basic has 20,000 a month, and heavy models, images, video and agent tasks use them faster. A set of lighter models stays unlimited.
- Basic limits the Abacus AI Agent to 3 tasks of limited complexity and Abacus AI Studio to 3 conversations. Pro removes both caps.
- Abacus.AI states that it does not give refunds based on the output or performance of its models and agents.

How its prices have moved
- Sep 18, 2026Max: withdrawn (was $100 per user / month, with 120,000 credits a month)The archived billing page of 18 September 2026 compares only the Basic and Pro tiers; the copy before it, of 11 July 2026, still answered "What is the Max tier" with a $100 price. The tier went between the two.
- Jul 11, 2026Max: new, $100 per user / month, with 120,000 credits a monthThe archived billing page of 11 July 2026 adds a Max tier at $100 per user per month with 120,000 credits; the copy before it, of 1 April 2026, lists only Basic and Pro. The tier arrived between the two.
- Apr 1, 2026Pro: 25,000 credits a month (20,000 plus 5,000 for Pro) → 30,000 credits a month (20,000 plus 10,000 for Pro)The archived billing page of 1 April 2026 says the Pro tier adds 10,000 credits; the copy before it, of 20 February 2026, says it adds 5,000. The monthly allowance grew between the two, with the $20 price unchanged.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace ChatLLM you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 57 other AI assistants grade higher. It costs $120 a year.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Google Drive among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ChatLLM’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
