Who it's for
Best for

Developers wiring models into CLI agent harnesses that need tool calls
What users say
Pros
- A single account switches quickly between a wide range of AI models for different tasks.
- Access to top models stays online when other providers are down.
- The subscription is the cheapest route to a wide spread of models, including Claude.
- Long custom roleplay prompts of thousands of words keep lore and characters consistent.
Cons
- The free allowance of 300 daily points is too small to send even one message to larger models.
- Prices rose while point allowances were cut and the free trial was removed.
- Points get deducted for queries that return an empty reply.
- Per-model token costs are buried behind submenu drilling instead of a clear list.
- Connecting the API to a CLI coding agent fails as soon as it needs to run tools.
