## What’s the best ChatGPT alternative?

Bearly. It has GPT plus Claude, Gemini, and Grok in one app, so you can switch models or compare their answers without moving your work. It’s also the most private of the major assistants: end-to-end encrypted chats, zero data retention on every chat model with ZDR mode on, and AI labs never learn who’s asking. No ads, and no training on your chats.

Updated October 27, 2026.

## Bearly

You want to use different models on the same work. Keep related chats and files in projects, rerun a request with another model, and use tools for documents, images, video, and transcripts.

Tradeoff: Model access and usage depend on your plan. Council of Experts requires Pro or higher. The providers’ own app subscriptions are separate. Source: [Bearly’s chat guide](https://bearly.ai/docs/chats/first-chat).

## Claude

Anthropic’s own AI app. Claude supports writing, uploaded documents, research, and other tasks in Anthropic’s own app.

Tradeoff: Access to Claude models in another app does not include every Claude app feature. Source: [Claude’s product overview](https://claude.com/product/overview).

## Perplexity

Search and cited answers. Perplexity centers its experience on search and cited answers. Pro also offers models from multiple providers, file analysis, and creation tools.

Tradeoff: Model access and usage limits depend on the plan; search is one of several features. Source: [Perplexity’s Pro guide](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/en/articles/10352901-what-is-perplexity-pro).

## Poe

A catalog of bots from multiple providers. Poe puts bots from multiple providers, including image, video, and audio generators, behind a shared subscription and compute-point system.

Tradeoff: Point costs vary by bot. Unused subscription points generally do not roll over. Source: [Poe’s subscription guide](https://help.poe.com/hc/en-us/articles/19945140063636-Poe-Purchases-FAQs).

## Abacus ChatLLM

A bundle of models and agent tools. ChatLLM combines multiple language models with projects, research, image and video creation, and agent tools.

Tradeoff: Tools and usage allowances depend on the subscription. Source: [ChatLLM’s product page](https://abacus.ai/chatllm).

## TypingMind

A chat interface for your own API keys. TypingMind’s individual product gives you a multi-model chat interface with projects, tools, and configurable provider connections.

Tradeoff: The interface license and model usage are separate costs. You manage your provider keys and billing. Source: [TypingMind’s product page](https://www.typingmind.com/).
