Our take
Pick Cohere if platform teams who need a private-ish LLM API and will fill the Production-key form. Pick Voyage AI if rAG teams who will burn the 200 million free tokens on voyage-4 / voyage-4-lite and then pay $0.02–$0.12 per million, not a team looking for a $20 chat seat. Skip Cohere if consumers who want a $20 chat app (ChatGPT, Mistral AI).
