Limits you can picture
Messages and research sessions per month, published as numbers. No conversion from points to expectations.
Poe alternative
A Poe alternative that counts in messages, not points.
Poe pioneered the many-models-one-place idea and priced it in compute points, which means budgeting in a currency you cannot feel. BlueAI publishes 10,500 messages a month at $5 and leaves the arithmetic out of it.
How multi-model access is priced
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| BlueAI Free ★ | $0 | 600 messages a month, encrypted history, strong everyday models |
| BlueAI Pro ★ | $5/mo | 10,500 messages a month, flagship models, 36 research sessions |
| Poe | ~$20/mo | Many models, allowance denominated in compute points |
| ChatGPT Plus | $20/mo | OpenAI models only |
| Four separate plans | ~$80/mo | One subscription per lab |
Competitor prices are public entry-level paid plans, checked August 2026.
The differences that show up in a month of use
Encrypted history
Conversations are sealed in your browser with a key derived from your password.
No email at sign-up
A username and password create the account. Nothing ties the thread to an identity.
Router, not a directory
Instead of choosing from a wall of bots, the question is sent to the model most likely to answer it well.
Why the unit of pricing matters
Point systems are honest engineering and poor product design. A flagship answer might cost thirty times a routine one, so the allowance is real but unknowable, and the rational response is to under-use the thing you paid for.
Messages are a blunter unit and a better one, because you can hold it in your head: 600 a month free, 10,500 on Pro, with 36 research sessions and a 120-turn memory. When the limit is reached, the chat says so.
The rest of the comparison is close: both give many models in one place. The gap is price, the unit of account, and whether the history is stored in a form the operator can read.
Questions about switching from Poe
BlueAI covers the same ground — many models, one chat — at $5/month instead of about $20, with limits published as messages rather than compute points.
No. Allowances are messages and research sessions per month, stated as plain numbers on the pricing page.
18+ across the major labs: GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek. Flagships are on paid plans and strong current models are on the free plan.
Yes, 600 messages a month at $0, with encrypted history and no card required.
Projects keep instructions and files attached to a body of work, which covers most of what a custom bot is used for.
It is encrypted in your browser before storage, no email is collected, and nothing is sold to data brokers.
