AI chat alternatives, compared

Six comparisons, one product. Each page below answers the same question from a different starting point: what you keep, what you gain and what it costs to move from the app you are using now to Gab AI — every major model, images, video, music, voice and an OpenAI-compatible API on one account.

What the comparisons have in common

Which one should you read?

Read the page for the product you are actually leaving — each one compares against that category rather than a feature sheet that goes stale. If you are not coming from any of them, free AI chat is the shortest way in: 150 credits, no credit card, and the same models every comparison describes. Pricing covers what happens when you outgrow the free allowance.

Common questions

What is the best ChatGPT alternative?

It depends on what you used it for. If you only want models from one company, staying put is reasonable. If you want to switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Arya per message, generate images and video in the same thread, keep your conversations out of training data and get direct answers on subjects other assistants avoid, that is the gap Gab AI fills.

Is there a free alternative to these apps?

Yes. Gab AI is free to start: a new account comes with 150 credits and needs no credit card, and those credits work across every model and every medium — chat, images, video and music included.

Can I keep using GPT and Claude if I switch?

Yes. GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok are all in the picker alongside Arya. Switching to Gab AI means adding models rather than giving one up, and requests to those providers are anonymized so they never learn who is asking.

Do I lose my chat history?

No. Export your data from ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and upload the file once. Threads are matched and de-duplicated, and each one arrives with its title and timestamp intact.
