How to Cancel Poe (by Quora) Subscription in 2026

Poe by Quora costs $19.99/month or $199.99/year for access to multiple AI models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and more) in one interface. But each of those AI providers now offers free tiers directly. Here's how to cancel and whether you need Poe at all.

How to Cancel Poe

1. Go to poe.com/settings
2. Click Subscription
3. Click Cancel subscription
4. Confirm

Cancel via App Store

• iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Poe → Cancel
• Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Poe → Cancel

What You Keep on Free Poe

• Limited daily messages to premium models (GPT-4, Claude, etc.)
• Unlimited messages to free/smaller models
• Custom bots — can still create and use them (with free model limits)
• Conversation history — stays accessible

The Big Question: Why Pay for Poe?

Poe's value proposition was "access many AI models in one place." But in 2026, every major AI offers a free tier:

• ChatGPT (free) — GPT-4o access directly from OpenAI
• Claude.ai (free) — Claude access directly from Anthropic
• Google Gemini (free) — Gemini access directly from Google
• Microsoft Copilot (free) — GPT-4 powered
• Perplexity (free) — AI search with citations

Using 3-4 free AI tools directly gives you more usage than one Poe subscription — at $0.

When Poe Is Actually Worth It

• Model comparison: If you regularly compare outputs across models, Poe's single interface saves time
• Custom bots: Poe's bot creation platform lets you combine models with custom instructions — powerful for specific workflows
• API credits: Poe includes API-like access for building bots, useful for developers
• If you max out free tiers: Heavy users who hit daily limits on multiple free services might find Poe's combined quota more convenient

Alternative: Pay One AI Provider Instead

If you need more than free tiers offer, a single premium subscription is usually better value:

• ChatGPT Plus ($20/month): Higher GPT-4o limits, image generation, advanced features
• Claude Pro ($20/month): Much higher Claude usage, Projects feature
• Perplexity Pro ($20/month): Unlimited Pro searches with multiple models

Pick the one AI you use most and subscribe directly — same price as Poe but better limits for that specific model.
