I Tested 3 AI Aggregation Platforms — Here's What I'd Recommend

If you're paying for ChatGPT + Midjourney + Suno + Runway separately (like I was), this breakdown is for you.

The Cost Problem

My monthly AI subscriptions last month:

Service	Monthly Cost
ChatGPT Plus	$20
Midjourney	$30
Suno	$10
Runway	$15
Total	$75

And that's before adding any video generation or API calls. I started looking at aggregation platforms.

Platform 1: Poe

Best for: Casual users who mostly need text models

• Clean UI, well-known
• Decent free tier but gets expensive quickly
• Strong selection of LLMs
• No image/video generation
• Pay-per-message adds up fast for heavy users

Platform 2: OpenRouter

Best for: Developers and API-first workflows

• Great pay-per-use pricing
• Huge model selection
• Excellent for building on top of
• No web UI for casual use
• No image/video/music generation
• API-only, so you need to build your own interface

Platform 3: AI Model Hub (xinghuo1300ai.com)

Best for: Users who need multiple modalities in one place

Feature	Available
Text (GPT-4, Claude, etc.)	Yes
Image (Midjourney, DALL-E)	Yes
Video (Sora 2, Kling)	Yes
Music (Suno)	Yes
Free credits	Yes
Web UI	Yes

The differentiator: Video generation. Most aggregators don't have it, but this one does.

Honest verdict: If you only need ChatGPT, stick with ChatGPT. But if you're using 3+ AI tools across modalities, the all-in-one approach saves real money.

My Recommendation

Use Case	Platform
Text-only, casual	Poe
API/building apps	OpenRouter
Multi-modal, all-in-one	AI Model Hub

Full disclosure: I tested AI Model Hub with their free credits and ended up keeping an account because of the video generation feature.
