If you only ask a question or two occasionally, the free plan is enough. If you use it daily for work and can't stand being downgraded mid-conversation, the US$20 Plus plan is the safest entry-level choice on the whole site. The Taiwan official site now prices in NT dollars — Plus is NT$690/month, the same as the App Store in-app purchase price, so it doesn't matter which one you subscribe through. If you want to save a bit, go with the App Store's annual billing at NT$6,990 (about NT$583/month).

For long-form writing and content creation: Pro at US$20/month is worth it. Free-tier users should be prepared — once the rolling quota runs out, you have to wait, and there's no Claude Code. For team use, annual billing is recommended to save 20%.

Those already in the Google ecosystem: try the free version first, and if it's not enough, AI Plus for US$4.99 is the cheapest paid plan on the site. However, don't subscribe through one.google.com for US$9.99, or you'll be overpaying.
Chinese support: Partial support
Heavy X users who originally intended to subscribe to Premium+: US$40/month, including Grok, is the most cost-effective option. For pure AI conversation needs: try the free version first, but we cannot confirm the plan prices, so be sure to check the official website yourself before subscribing.

適合想免費使用網頁版，或是能善用離峰時段與快取機制來控制API成本的使用者。

Research and report-writing: the free tier's basic search is enough. Need Pro search and source-quality vetting: billed annually at US$200 is more economical than monthly. But the enterprise plan's price hasn't been officially confirmed -- be sure to verify on the official site yourself before signing.

適合需要頻繁搜尋和檔案分析，且預算有限的貓，特別是選擇年繳方案，長期使用更經濟實惠。

For people already in the M365 ecosystem, the Personal plan's included US$9.99 version is enough — no need to upgrade. For advanced AI features, Premium billed annually at US$199.99/year is the best value. But standalone Copilot Pro has been discontinued — don't go looking for the old plan.
Chinese support: Full support
Want to use AI directly in the browser without switching tools: Pro annual payment US$99 has a very low threshold. However, the free version has a quota of only 40 shares, which is too little. We have marked the plan as needs_review, and it is recommended to check the current price on the official website before subscribing.
Chinese support: Partial support
If you want an AI browser with search summaries, just use the free version — no need to pay. But don't use it for banking or sensitive data; the prompt injection risk is real. Only consider Plus at US$5 if you need agentic tasks.
Chinese support: Partial support
Developers can access multiple models at once: the free version offers 50 trials per day. For stable usage, Pay-as-you-go is the most flexible option, but the 5.5% handling fee is a hidden cost, so calculate carefully before using extensively.
Chinese support: Partial support
For developers who want the fastest inference speed: try the free API key first, then switch to the Batch API to cut costs in half once volume grows. But the free tier's rate limits aren't transparent, so have a backup plan for production.
Chinese support: Partial support
For personal learning and non-commercial use: the free plan's feature breadth is one of the widest in its category. For work or commercial output: the free plan can't be used commercially, so you need to go straight to Pro at US$14.99. The education plan at US$5.99 is the lowest tier for those who qualify.
先等一下——Poe 也不是沒有優點
If you want one window for multiple models on a limited budget, you can try the US$4.99 Starter plan. But the free quota has shrunk and we can't find a first-party number for it, and there are negative records on service stability and customer support — before relying on it heavily, we'd suggest waiting and watching, or having a backup ready.
