Poe alternatives for chat across multiple models

Compare LibreChat, Cherry Studio and big-AGI for multi-model chat. Use custom assistants, compare replies and choose your own model connections.

Poe brings multiple AI models and community-created bots into one chat platform. It suits people who switch between assistants for different tasks and want those conversations in a single place. Replacing it means deciding whether you want bundled model access or an interface that connects to providers you choose.

LibreChat offers a shared browser workspace with agents and conversation search. Cherry Studio keeps reusable assistants and simultaneous model conversations in a desktop app. big-AGI can send the same question to several models and merge their answers. These Poe alternatives organize conversations and assistant instructions differently; hosted providers generally require their own credentials rather than Poe's subscription points.

A self-hosted AI chat platform connects local models and cloud APIs, with tool-using agents, conversation search and multi-user authentication.
