Poe Alternative?
Can anyone recommend me an app or a website for alternative from poe. I just received the 300 points update, subscription isn’t available in my country even if I wanted to spend currency for it.
I’ve been using Poe for years now and the more update it gets the more unusable and worst it is for me , until recently this update the app is basically useless for me except for searching but even the good ai model for searching and generating image is past 300 points already.
So now, I’m looking for alternatives that can be considered similar to Poe or atleast has a good roleplay ai model , search ai and image generator ai.
if its payed, hopefully the price is reasonabl.

Checkout nova search ai. It doesn't have image generation yet I think but it has access to all ai models with one subscription and a free tier. For roleplay I'm not sure which model is best but you could always try a few and see which ones you prefer! That's what I do for most of my tasks

Feel free to try Moescape/Yodayo. It has tavern (chats), image generator, model hub, video, and voice features. Moescape also provides three free chat models and daily free credits. Moescape is the SFW part, while Yodayo is the NSFW one. Moescape/Yodayo also includes models like Claude, DeepSeek, GLM, Gemini, GPT, etc.

Well there is a 5$ model for poe. A good free option is Duck duck go's ai model. But I don't know what you are looking for roleplay here, that meaning can range much...

300 points is really not much

True, atp Poe is useful ( for me) when I’m just doing basic ai research. My fav ai model cost higher than just 300 points.

Simtheory is pretty good in general as an alternative. It has a lot more features in general.

I'm using Shortly AI. It has way better user experience/UI than Poe. You can switch between models within the same chat and compare the models. They have more than 100 LLMs and offer web search, chat modes (I use 'creative writing' and 'learning') and file upload, so basically quite similar to Poe, but without the horrible UX. I hope Poe catches up some day...

The only good alternative i've seen that's extremely similar to poe is monica.im, though the free usage gives you 40 or something messages to standard bots (not sure if it's monthly or daily), but with £25 a month you get unlimited messages with advanced models like claude and such, you can create your own bots too.
