Pricing Details
Poe by Quora operates on a freemium model with a subscription for advanced access:
⭘ Free Tier: Provides limited daily access to a variety of standard chatbots (like ChatGPT, Claude Instant). Messages sent to premium bots (like GPT-4o or Claude 4 Opus) are extremely limited (e.g., 1 per day).
⭘ Premium Subscription (e.g., ~$19.99/month or ~$200/year): A subscription that provides significantly higher message limits for all available premium and flagship AI models. It removes daily restrictions and offers priority access to new models and features as they are added to the platform.
(Note: The subscription provides a large pool of "compute points" which are consumed at different rates depending on the AI model being used. Pricing and point allocation are subject to change.)
