ModelAny verdict
ModelAny is the right pick for anyone who wants to compare AI outputs without paying for multiple subscriptions or managing API keys. It does one thing well: parallel querying across 11 models in a single browser window. The catch is that it depends entirely on you already having accounts at each AI service, so it is not a shortcut past paywalls, and users who want a single unified AI assistant rather than a comparison tool will find it redundant.
Strengths
Genuinely free with no paid tier, no credit system, and no API key requirement, making it accessible to anyone with a browser.
Local-first architecture with source-available code on GitHub gives privacy-conscious users a concrete way to verify what the extension does with their data.
Weaknesses
Depends entirely on the user holding active logged-in sessions at each AI service; it cannot query a model the user has not already authenticated with, so it does not reduce subscription costs.
Browser-extension-only delivery means no mobile access, no desktop app, and no API for teams wanting to build comparison workflows into their own tools.
Rileva verdict
Rileva is the clearest choice for people who regularly switch between AI labs and want one bill instead of four. Its Council mode, which pulls independent answers from three models and synthesizes them into a structured four-part response, is genuinely differentiated from anything a single-lab subscription offers. The credit system adds friction that single-model tools avoid entirely, and at €35/month for the Pro tier, it costs more than a standalone Claude or Gemini subscription for users who mostly stick to one model anyway.
Strengths
Council mode produces a structured four-part synthesis from three independent model responses, a capability no single-lab subscription replicates.
Every feature, including Auto routing, Council, image generation, web search, and project memory, is available on every paid plan; you are not locked out of core functionality on the entry tier.
Weaknesses
All plans are priced in euros with no USD pricing listed, which introduces currency conversion uncertainty for non-eurozone buyers and makes direct cost comparisons with dollar-priced competitors harder.
The credit system means that image generation and Council runs consume credits faster than standard Auto answers, so a Plus subscriber's 1,000 monthly credits could run out well before month's end for heavy Council users (the pricing page notes up to 55 Council runs per month on Plus).
