Quora's Poe is launching subscriptions to let you chat with GPT-4-powered bot

Yesterday, OpenAI unveiled its new GPT-4 model and competitor Anthropic unveiled its own ChatGPT competitor, Claude. Parallelly, Quora announced that its chatbot app Poe will now have a paid tier that will let you ask questions to bots powered by these models.

Poe subscriptions will set you back $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year, and you can only buy it at the moment from your iOS or Apple Silicon-powered Mac. The company is working on making the paid plan available to purchase on the web.

Quora first launched Poe last December as a closed beta and later opened it up to all iOS users last month.

Quora's CEO Adam D'Angelo said in a Twitter thread that paying users can chat with bots powered by GPT-4 and Claude+ (version 1.2). Sadly, the paid tier doesn't allow you to ask unlimited questions with these models. Poe caps the usage to 300 GPT-4 and 1,000 Claude 1.2 messages per month. The service said that once a user reaches the monthly limit, "bot availability or quality may be reduced."

At the moment, free users can also test and ask these models one question per day without any cost. D'Angelo said that users can have unlimited interactions with other bots like ChatGPT, Claude, Sage and Dragonfly. Poe describes these models to have different roles and features. Here is what the company says about these bots:
