Frequently Asked Questions

Model Compare lets you chat with two AI models side by side. Send one message and see how different models respond — compare quality, speed, and style instantly.

Compare any two of our 27 models: 6 free self-hosted models (Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek), 10 standard models (GPT-4.1 Mini, Llama 4, Gemini Flash), and 11 premium models (GPT-5, Claude 4.6, Grok 4). Mix and match freely.

Yes! Each response costs tokens based on the model used. Self-hosted models cost ~100 tokens/msg, premium models cost more. You get 2,500 tokens/day free, or sign up for 5,000/day plus a 10,000 token bonus.

Yes — each model response is billed independently. Comparing two models costs roughly double a single chat message. The token cost is shown below each response.

Yes! Each model maintains its own conversation history. Send follow-up messages and both models will remember their previous responses. This lets you compare how models handle complex, multi-step tasks.

Yes. Comparisons are saved in your browser and persist across page refreshes. You can switch between past comparisons using the session tabs above the chat panels. Up to 20 comparisons are stored.

Self-hosted models (Qwen, Mistral) run on our own GPUs — cheapest at ~100 tokens/msg and your data stays on our servers. Premium models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini) are from external providers and cost more but offer stronger reasoning. Compare them to decide what is worth the extra cost for your needs.

Model Compare lets you choose which models to compare and have full conversations. The AI Arena (/arena/) is blind — you don't know which models you're comparing until after you vote. Arena builds a community ELO leaderboard. Use Compare for personal evaluation, Arena for community rankings.
