RECATOOLS Verdict

Poe puts GPT, Claude, Gemini, image and video models and thousands of community bots behind one subscription, with compute points as the common currency — genuinely convenient for comparing models or consolidating bills, across web, iOS, Android and desktop. But the economics demand attention: point costs are opaque, prices have shifted without much notice, and in March 2026 the free daily allowance was cut 90%, from 3,000 points to 300, gutting the free tier. Paid plans run $4.99 to $249.99 a month. It suits prosumers who value breadth and bot creators chasing Stripe payouts; heavy frontier-model users usually do better going direct, and there's no real enterprise governance. Globally available, ASEAN included.

What people say

March 30, 2026 is the date that soured Poe's community: Quora cut the free tier's daily allowance from 3,000 compute points to 300 — a 90% reduction with minimal warning — leaving free users roughly two or three conversations a day on the cheaper models. Reddit threads read like an exit interview, and the move capped a year of quiet repricing that had already earned Poe a reputation for shifting point costs without notice.

Which is a shame, because the core product still does something genuinely useful. One subscription covers GPT-5.5, Claude, Gemini, image and video models like Veo 3.1, plus thousands of community bots, across web, iOS, Android and desktop. For comparing model behaviour side by side, or consolidating five AI bills into one, nothing else matches the breadth. The creator side — build a bot, set per-message pricing, get paid through Stripe — remains a real differentiator.

The subscription ladder now runs from $4.99 a month (10,000 points daily) through $19.99, $49.99 and $99.99 tiers up to $249.99 monthly for 12.5 million points. The recurring complaints haven't changed: point economics are opaque, since different models burn wildly different amounts; models accessed via Poe can lag their native apps on features and context handling; and long conversations drift. Power users with heavy frontier-model workloads keep reaching the same conclusion — the math favors going direct to OpenAI or Anthropic.

For casual multi-model exploration, Poe still earns its place. Just don't build a workflow on the free tier; Quora has shown it will pull that rug.
