Hydra and Poe
Poe, from Quora, is another chat with models from several companies. Both let you put more than one model's answer in front of you; they work differently.
| Hydra | Poe | |
|---|---|---|
| Models | Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Perplexity and more through OpenRouter (the ones connected to the site, plus any you add with your own key) | OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral and others, plus image and video models 1 |
| Several models answer at once | Fusion: models answer independently, disputed claims are checked on the web, one merged answer says how far they agreed. Compare: side by side | Multi-bot chat: @-mention other bots into the same thread; a /compare command re-asks the same prompt 2 |
| Free use | 10 messages, no account needed | A free account with a daily allowance of points 1 |
| Paid plans | Hydra Plus, £13.99 a month | Plans start at $4.99 a month; extra points from $30 per million 3 |
| Use your own API keys | Yes, free: the AI companies bill you directly | Not offered, as far as we could find |
| Pricing unit | A number of messages, then a monthly plan with a usage allowance | Points: each message costs a number of points that depends on the model 3 |
Poe's plans page couldn't be read when we checked, so only the prices Poe states in its help centre are shown. Plans, prices and limits change often: check Poe's own pages for today's. We don't claim either is better at answering; that depends on the question and the models used.
