Our take
Pick Kimi if people who want a signed-out Kimi window, or developers who will pay per 1M on the API. Pick Poe if people who want many frontier models in one inbox and will pay Apple/Google or the web sub. Skip Kimi if people who need a local runner (Ollama) or a multi-vendor shelf (Poe). Skip Poe if teams that need a single vendor SLA (ChatGPT, Claude) or a local runner (Ollama).
