Poe by Quora

Poe is Quora's multi-model chat app. Rechecked 2026-08-17: poe.com/subscription_plans sold five point plans. This fetch returned Hong Kong dollars, not a USD table. Yearly first: 10k points / day at HK$399 / year (HK$33.25 / month) or HK$39 / month; 660k points / month at HK$1,599 / year (HK$133.25 / month) or HK$159 / month; 1.65M points / month at HK$3,999 / year (HK$333.25 / month) or HK$399 / month; 3.3M points / month at HK$7,999 / year (HK$666.58 / month) or HK$799 / month; 8.25M points / month at HK$19,999 / year (HK$1,666.58 / month) or HK$1,999 / month. Add-on points are $30 per 1M points on that page. Marketing still lists GPT-5.5, Claude-Opus-4.7, Gemini-3.5-Flash, Nano-Banana-Pro, and Veo-3.1. Treat the live picker as the catalog.

Compare ChatGPT Plus if you wanted OpenAI's first-party chat seat, and Perplexity AI if you wanted cited search at $20 / $200.

Key Features

• One inbox, many models: Switch bots instead of keeping five subscriptions. The live model list changes; do not freeze GPT-3.5 as the product.
• Point meter: Paid plans buy a daily or monthly point pool. Messages on frontier models cost more points than cheap bots.
• Add-on points: The paywall still sells $30 / 1M points when the pool runs out.
• Creator bots: Users can publish custom bots. That is not the same as a developer API seat.

Use Cases

• People who want Claude plus GPT plus video models in one app and will pay the HK$39 monthly row.
• Heavier users looking at 1.65M-8.25M point packs.
• People comparing Poe vs ChatGPT Plus vs Perplexity on public meters, not on "short text advice" copy.

Limitation: This refresh did not get a USD price table from the official page. Quote HKD as shown, or re-open the page in your billing region. The old three-paragraph "information retrieval" body is out.

Pricing

poe.com/subscription_plans on 2026-08-17. This network saw HKD.

If a leftover blog still lists a single $20 Poe Pro, treat this table as the source.

Getting Started

1. Open poe.com/subscription_plans and read the currency your account actually bills.
2. Use the free surface only long enough to see point burn on one frontier model.
3. Buy the 10k-points/day row before you assume you need 8.25M points.
4. Recheck ChatGPT Plus or Perplexity if you only needed one vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Poe still an unpriced Quora experiment?

No. There are five public point plans on the subscription page.

Are those US dollars?

Not on the page we opened. The live numbers were HK$. Recheck your region.

Same as ChatGPT Plus?

No. Plus is OpenAI-only. Poe is a multi-model point wallet.

Alternatives

• ChatGPT Plus: First-party OpenAI chat.
• Perplexity AI: Cited search, Pro $20 / month.

Tips

1. Quote the HKD yearly column first, then the monthly toggle.
2. Do not invent a USD $20 Poe Pro.
3. Recheck the model picker before you promise GPT-5.5 in a contract.

Conclusion

Poe is a point-metered multi-model chat wallet, not a three-sentence Quora experiment. Start at poe.com/subscription_plans, then decide whether ChatGPT Plus already covers the seat you need.
