- No blanket commercial-use conclusion was made for consumer subscriptions because the consumer terms limit access to personal use and direct business integrations to separate commercial terms.
- Taxes and final localized prices vary.
Official documentation confirms the rename to Vibe and three modes: Work, Code, and Chat. Free-plan conversations may be used to improve models with an opt-out; Pro, Team, and Enterprise conversations are not used for training by default. Connectors and uploaded library documents are not used for training. Consumer terms assign Mistral's rights in outputs to the user, but consumer access is expressly personal; business integrations and products distributed to third parties are directed to Mistral's commercial terms.
Poe offers free daily points and annual subscriptions of $49.99/year for 10,000 points/day, $199.99/year for 660,000 points/month, $499.99/year for 1.65 million points/month, $999.99/year for 3.3 million points/month, and $2,499.99/year for 8.25 million points/month. Poe displays annual equivalents of $4.17, $16.67, $41.67, $83.33, and $208.33 per month. Taxes, currency conversion, regional availability, and app-store pricing may vary.

- Monthly-billing prices were not included in the extracted official pricing page, so only verified annual prices and their displayed monthly equivalents are reported.
- No blanket commercial-use assurance was found because Poe grants a personal right to use the service and underlying model-provider policies may impose additional restrictions.
- Privacy and training treatment varies by each bot or app's privacy-shield status.
Poe provides one interface for third-party text, image, audio, and video bots, custom bots/apps, group chats, and shared subscriptions. Fully shaded privacy-shield bots share data with model providers but interactions are not used by those providers for training; half-shaded bots/apps may share data with developers or external resources and may use interactions for training. Poe's terms define prompts and bot-generated results as 'Your Content' and state that users retain ownership, while granting Poe a perpetual license for stated service purposes. Use also remains subject to policies of the underlying model providers.
