The short answer
Which is better, Bearly or Poe?
Bearly. Both put models from several labs in one place. Bearly backs that with end-to-end encrypted chats, zero data retention on every chat model with ZDR mode on, and AI labs never learn who’s asking. Bearly doesn’t train AI on your chats, and it keeps projects, deep research, meetings, and routines in the same app.
