Poe Alternative with BYOK and Direct Provider Billing

A Poe alternative built around BYOK: bring your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and OpenRouter keys, keep billing with each provider, and track estimated chat costs across iPhone, Android, and web.

  • BYOK instead of a hosted access plan — you pay providers directly at their published API prices.
  • Real-time estimates show the cost of each conversation before you check the provider’s final bill.
  • Native iPhone, Android, and web apps with local-first chats.

Poe and Oriveo use different access models

Poe provides AI from multiple companies in one interface. Its official site says Poe is free for most usage and offers subscription plans for advanced usage.

Oriveo is a BYOK multi-model client. You connect your own API keys and keep billing with each provider. Native apps connect directly; the web app uses a non-retaining real-time pass-through endpoint. Oriveo never marks up or re-bills your usage.

Which product may fit better

Choose Oriveo if you want your own API accounts, direct provider billing, local-first chat storage, and estimated cost per conversation. Poe may fit better if you prefer a hosted account that provides model access without configuring provider API keys, or if user-created bots are central to your workflow.

Common app questions

How is Oriveo different from Poe?

Poe operates its own multi-model service with free usage and subscription plans. Oriveo uses your provider API keys instead: you pay each provider directly, while Oriveo adds per-conversation cost estimates and local-first storage.

Do I still need provider accounts?

Yes — with BYOK you create API keys with the providers you want (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more) and paste them into Oriveo. You can also start on the Oriveo Free tier without any key.

Can I use many models in one app?

Yes. Oriveo supports 15 official providers, and you can switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, and others in a single chat app.
