Our early stage in-app pricing estimation may not be fully accurate due to the large variety of available AI models. We are working to ensure offline and incredibly fast text to token calculation for local cost tracking so all prices displayed should be treated as estimates.
Tools like ChatGPT and Claude offer free versions where you can only access older or less "clever" models. While this may be sufficient for a wide range of tasks, Awee Desktop allows you to employ the best and the latest AI models for complex and thoughtful tasks.
The advantage of using your own API key is that you can pay a lot less than a full monthly ChatGPT or Claude subscription and still have access to the bleeding-edge models. For day-to-day chats and conversations, using Awee allows you to save over 800% in costs.
Especially when you need to work with multiple providers at the same you have to pay 20$ - 30$ / month to each of those providers. AI providers (such as OpenAI, Grok or Anthropic) allows you to generate API keys that does not require you to have an active monthly subscription. Using these keys from within Awee Desktop, you get a unified, intuitive UI independent from the provider you chose to work with. With Awee Desktop, despite the increasing number of different AI providers, your costs are under control.
Even more, you can choose to use the OpenRouter provider and get access to all AI providers for a modest 5% (OpenRouter fees). This saves you the trouble of creating an API key for each AI provider you want to use.
