Poe is the ultimate 'try before you commit' playground for developers. Instead of paying $20 to OpenAI, $20 to Anthropic, and $20 to Google, you pay one subscription to access them all. It's fantastic for benchmarking prompts across models or acting as a universal API proxy during development. However, do NOT use it for production apps requiring strict SLAs or data privacy (SOC2/HIPAA), as it adds a middleman latency and compliance risk layer.
