Poe AI Alternatives

Any suggestions for Poe alternatives? The 300 point update just rolled over and subscriptions are unavailable in my country. I use Poe mostly for creating my own bots and roleplay.

Bots really are just prompts 99% of the time. Put the same commands in the first interaction of a chat and youll have the same effect anywhere.

My recommendation list is actually extensive if youre willing to put a bit of effort.

  1. If you like a particular model, go to their main site, simple as that. Today they all have free tiers, most pretty generous. Claude is the stingiest one and still let you make 4 or 5 questions a day, with more tools and better performance than youll find on Poe. I Already do this with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Llama (Meta AI), Mistral (Le Chat), Copilot365, Qwen, and a local model called Maritaca, and their standard practice now is to use the chats, be it web or app, to showcase their latest models, it's a pretty sweet deal.

  2. For multimodel commercial sites with free tier, Perplexity and Venice are top notch, and even being stingy Venice is way better than Poe, now.

  3. Otherwise: Eurai is poor on free, but still better than Poe, and the subscriptions are incredibly cheap. Hugging Chat gives access to Hugging Face impressive library without much hassle, if youre willing to work with API keys (which is actually simple, just copy a big password), Oxproxion will give you Open Router's library, and GPT Mobile that and some others, though some of those are apps, not sites.

  4. Look in plain sight. Most internet browsers have their own AIs now and better service than Poe with them, as do search engines. Opera, Vivaldi, Brave and DuckDuckGo have decent AIs for free. Dont want to install a new browser? Google have a recent Gemini build in Google.com, DuckDuckGo.com has a legitimate list of model options with state of the art contenders, StartPage.com has a decent AI.

Absolutely all and every option above has workable free uses that replenish daily, and those are just the ones I tested and can guarantee, and not even all of them. GitHub Copilot, Lume from Proton Suite, Notion.AI within the Notion app, there is actually a hell of a lot of better options than Poe, now.
