# Venice

> Privacy-focused AI app for chat, images and video across many models

Venice is an AI app for chat and for image, video and audio generation that reaches models from many providers through one account. Every model is labeled with a privacy mode, from anonymized access to third-party models up to end-to-end encrypted inference on some, and conversation history is kept in the browser or on the device instead of on Venice's servers. A free plan allows a few prompts a day; paid plans lift the text limit and add monthly credits for video, music and API use.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save up to 16.7% with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page lists Pro at $180 a year against $18 a month (16.7% less), and Pro Plus at $735 and Max at $2,160 a year against $68 and $200 a month (about 10% less). Source: https://venice.ai/pricing

## Key features

- **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.

## Good for

- People who want chat history kept on their own device
- Trying text, image and video models from many labs in one app
- Developers who want an OpenAI-compatible API for many model types

## Worth knowing

- 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.
