One time upgrade

The basic Geeps version works with text based chats and is free to use with built-in and custom providers. Add as many OpenAI compatible APIs as you need!

Geeps Plus is a one-time purchase that unlocks additional functionality like image and file attachments, image generation and editing, using tools and more.

This app aims to be subscription free and by upgrading once you unlock all the additional features and support future development.

Completely free?

The answer is Yes and No 😄

While the Geeps app itself is available for free (for text chats), it requires a connection to OpenAI or another provider through a developer API key, which means direct billing and payment based on the actual AI usage (i.e. the amount of generated text or images measured in tokens).

This can be significantly cheaper than a monthly subscription like ChatGPT Plus/Pro, Claude Pro, or Gemini Advanced and you can use models from competing providers in a single app.

Additionally with OpenRouter API you can access many models for free!.

Why not free tier ChatGPT?

Here are some advantages of using Geeps and paying based on the number of tokens you use:

• API users often gain access to the latest AI models sooner than free-tier ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini users, allowing them to use cutting-edge models as soon as they are released. Free tier users are usually limited to older less intelligent models.
• API users have higher rate limits than free-tier users. This means a more seamless and uninterrupted experience, with the ability to handle higher volumes of queries.
• Access to models via API gets cheaper over time, while subscription prices generally stay the same or increase.
• When using Geeps all your chats with top models from competing providers are in one app.
• Sooner or later, ads will be coming to free users of ChatGPT and other chat clients

On the other hand Geeps doesn't have all the features that an official ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini apps have.

Model availability

The regular version of Geeps supports multiple model providers, so you can add as many of them as you need. You can use direct APIs, like xAI or Deepseek, or use LLM routers like OpenRouter and others.

When using OpenRouter API (or any other LLM router) you can use hundreds of models from all providers from around the world. Many OpenRouter models are free to use!

You can also use Geeps to chat with local models running on your computer in LM Studio or a similar tool.

Privacy and security

When using Geeps, your API key is stored securely on your device using Apple’s encrypted keychain storage.

However, it’s important to understand that a client-side app like Geeps needs to send your API key over the network with each request to AI providers, which inherently carries some security risks.

The same applies to any other app or utility that lets you bring your own API key (BYOK) including apps like Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi and others.

Here are some recommendations to protect your API key:

1. Regularly rotate your API keys (every 30-90 days). In your provider's dashboard you can easily create new keys and delete old ones.
2. Set strict monthly spending limits in your AI provider’s dashboard
3. Set up spending alerts when you reach a certain percentage of your limit
4. Use a dedicated API key for Geeps rather than your main account key
5. Monitor your usage regularly for any unexpected activity
6. Be cautions when using your API key on public unsecured networks
