Great AI tool with some minor bugs
Straico has become part of my daily use tools. Nowdays many other tools are providing API integration with straico. Although there are few bugs in UI. Also Perplexity latest model not working since many days. I hope Straico will become rare deal gem category tool & they will honour LTD deal.

Apr 7, 2025Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really happy to hear that Straico has become one of your daily tools.
We acknowledge there's still room for improvement in our UI, and we're actively working on fixing any bugs that come up. If you have a specific issue in mind, feel free to share it with us — we’d love to hear it.
Regarding the Perplexity model not working, we’ve done some testing and it seems to be a server availability issue on their end. We’re keeping an eye on it and looking for solutions together with the providers.

A Versatile AI Platform, Hoping for Comprehensive Traditional Chinese Support
Straico is a powerful AI platform that integrates multiple top AI models, such as Claude, GPT, and DALL·E, offering efficient content creation, image generation, and audio output capabilities. Its intuitive desktop application allows users to seamlessly incorporate it into their workflows, making it an indispensable tool for businesses and individuals alike. The personalized prompt design and multi-model output comparison features are particularly groundbreaking for projects requiring precision and flexibility. However, I recommend adding comprehensive support for Traditional Chinese. Traditional Chinese is not only the primary language in regions like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau but is also widely used across Southeast Asia and within the global Chinese-speaking community. Providing enhanced support for Traditional Chinese would make Straico more appealing and further solidify its position in the international market. I look forward to seeing this improvement implemented soon!

Impractical. Avoid.
This will be the first 1-taco review I think I’ve written on AppSumo. Simply put, Straico is impractical to use as an LTD as it consumes way too many coins. So much so, that you’ll think it’s a glitch until you take the issue up with the founders and they confirm that it’s to be expected, making excuses and outright lying about the average number of LLM word outputs to shift the blame. I ran 4 models side-by-side, DeepSeekV3, ChatGPT4o-mini, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Open AI o1. I asked them translate 108 words. Only one model managed to perform the task (Claude); the others simply spat back short text asking me to share the text for translation. It consumed 8,000 coins. For 108 words… Looking at the other reviews, I’m not the only one with these sentiments but the common thread with the replies appears to be founder’s hubris hiding behind excuses and palming the blame off to the user. It is impractical to expect the tool to do what it says on the box if you ask it to output a simple translation and it spits back 108 words while eating 8,000 coins! Don’t try and go to the team about it—they’ll blame you and lie about LLMs outputting only a maximum of 800 words (like that would be relevant to the problem even if it were true). Don’t expect Straico’s main features to be useful for LLM chat unless you have millions of coins. I enjoyed refunding this.

Edited Feb 5, 2025Hello there,
Thank you for sharing your experience with Straico. We truly value your feedback and understand your concerns regarding coin consumption.
It’s true that coin usage can vary depending on the model and task. Some models you mentioned are indeed more resource-intensive. However, we’re actively working on implementing a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system to narrow down the context and optimize requests, which will help reduce coin consumption for tasks like the ones you've encountered.
Additionally, we recently added free models to help our users better manage their coin usage:
Anthropic: Claude 3.5 Haiku
OpenAI: GPT-4o mini
Amazon: Nova Lite 1.0
Meta: Llama 3.3 70B Instruct
We also invite you to join our Discord community here, where we have active conversations about coin consumption and updates on the RAG implementation. It’s a great space to connect with other users and get valuable insights.
Thank you again for your feedback. We're committed to continuously improving Straico to better serve you.

I hardly leave reviews as well. I made an exception for Straico. Wishing the team all the success for creating a fab product.

My favorite lifetime deal AI service
I have purchased a number of lifetime deals and non-lifetime deals for various other services just like Straico, and I have to say Straico is one of my favorites. The amount of credits you get and how much you are able to chat is extremely generous. If I had gotten a lower plan, I probably would have been happy with it too. Just for an idea, I have a setup in Straico where I ask 4 LLMs the same question so I can compare answers and learn a bit faster, and it uses about 50 coins per query. I get 40,000 coins per month. That is kind of insane, I will probably never hit the limit even if I stick only to using Straico for my LLM needs. This place is the real deal, if you can't get the lifetime deal anymore and are considering a monthly subscription, definitely go for it!
Jorge_Straico
Jan 24, 2025Thanks for your review! Glad to know that you're more than pleased with the amount of credits you get, and we're working on making them even more efficient!

Though a good tool, coin consumption is crazy with no option to use trained chats otherwise
If you try to use a trained chat - coin usage just increases exponentially - there is no way to limit this or you just need to train again. There was supposed to be light mode but not yet. Was such a good one, but now cannot use this practically
Maximiliano_Pulido
Jan 7, 2025Hello SaaStar,
First of all, we wanted to thank you for your valuable review. We truly appreciate your feedback. Regarding your interest in light mode, this feature has been available since the launch of our application and remains accessible for all users. To access this feature, you can click on your profile picture (avatar) and then click the moon icon or sun icon to switch between light mode and dark mode.
We understand the frustration that coin consumption can cause, which is why we are working hard to implement the RAG system and agents in our web application. Additionally, we are developing a new coin system that will be based on interactions rather than words.
Now, I would like to share some suggestions with you to optimize the usage of your coins. First and foremost, consider updating the word limit for your responses. This can be easily done through your user settings or preferences. By doing this, you will have greater control over your coin usage.
Furthermore, instead of continuing lengthy conversations, starting new chats can make a noticeable difference. It is important to keep in mind that long conversations tend to significantly increase costs due to contextual factors. Therefore, a good option would be to initiate new chats when necessary.
We understand the limitations that our users face, and we want to assure you that we are working to provide effective solutions. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email (hello@straico.com) to discuss further details about your experience. I will be delighted to assist you in any way I can.
Thank you once again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Testing only LLMs
After buying Tier 3 I have refund it because:
- I was unable to get a straightforward French to English translation, as it kept asking how I’d like to proceed and repeatedly offered to summarize the text. Even though I specified that it has occurred with different models Straico's answer was: "I’d strongly recommend testing multiple models to find the one that provides the best results for your specific task." But what if I like how a specific model translates?
- Another issue is that I requested a complete translation in one response - as the model offered it itself, but it did not initially provide this. However, after translating in parts, I asked it to combine the text, and it did, indicating that the issue lies not with the text length but with something else. Straico's answer: "it’s worth noting that AI providers often enforce character or word limits on the model’s outputs." "We recommend you try with multiple models to determine which model has a longer output limit, so you can get the answer in fewer outputs. "
- Additionally, Straico's support also mentioned, "the issue doesn’t appear to be on our end", so I tested the same prompt in the LLM's original app, and surely the response was accurate and concise, free of unnecessary questions, opinions, or divided answers.
So, I believe that Straico uses a pre-prompt that needs adjustment, as it complicates the user's tasks, and consumes time and credits on jobs the user did not request. And even though Straico's team will have a positive attitude in their responses, the real outcome you get from Straico - at least for now - is that the LLMs on their app are for testing only, at the price of your time and credits.
Maximiliano_Pulido
Jan 6, 2025Hello Booky!
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We take your experience very seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address the points you’ve raised, as this helps us grow and improve Straico for everyone.
First, regarding translations: we understand that achieving accurate and reliable AI translations can be challenging, and we’d love to learn more specifics about the issues you encountered. Your insights would allow us to refine our system further. To support this, we're actively working on enhancing our LLM selector, which will enable users to better match their needs with the most suitable model for their specific tasks.
We’ve also noticed the "pre-prompt" concern you mentioned. To clarify, when Smart Mode is turned off, the system processes your input exactly as written, without any adjustments or alterations. However, when Smart Mode is on, it optimizes the prompts for specific use cases to help deliver better results. This distinction ensures that users can decide how much guidance or optimization they’d like in their interactions.
It's also worth noting that we exclusively use official models provided by trusted API providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity. These are not test versions, but the same high-quality production models relied upon by enterprise customers, ensuring reliability and performance.
We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with Straico has been disappointing so far. We acknowledge that we may not always get it right for every user, and that’s where your feedback is so valuable. Please feel free to reach out to our support team for personalized assistance, we’re here to help address any remaining concerns or challenges you may have.
Thank you again for providing your thoughts, as they are crucial to helping us evolve and improve Straico for all users.

Low Coins
I like Straico’s interface/layout. I’m someone who has to generate a LOT of content daily. For me, there simply aren’t enough coins/credits to make Straico an all-in-one replacement to services like Poe.com or You.com (Poe.com is my favorite). I’m still really happy I bought it because I was able to purchase a lifetime sub for something like $135! I would recommend this as a supplement to existing AI ‘hubs’ (that’s what I’m using it as.. in case my credits run out on the other ones). The one thing I would recommend for this service to do is to offer 1M + coins like some of the other hubs do, or have the AI bots on the platform eat up fewer coins.
Maximiliano_Pulido
Dec 28, 2024Hello there!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand how challenging it can be to run out of coins, especially when you rely on AI tools to generate large amounts of content daily. While it is great to hear that you are enjoying the interface and finding Straico useful as a supplement, we want to make it a more effective, primary solution for users like you. To help reduce coin usage, features like setting a word limit for responses or starting new chats instead of continuing long ones can make a noticeable difference, as the context in lengthy chats increases the cost. We are also actively working on improvements to resolve these challenges. Soon, we will introduce a new coin system that counts interactions instead of words, release a RAG/Agents project to lower overall costs, and add free models, ensuring users with limited coins can still access great tools. We appreciate your support and your feedback, as they are essential in helping us build a better experience for everyone.
We are aware of this issue and that's why we are currently working on the solutions for this problem.

The best multi-LLM tool on Appsumo
The only “multi LLM” tools I know of on Appsumo are Straico and Merlin, and in the same genre there's Voilà.
Although each tool has its advantages, Straico is the one that brings the most innovation. The main positive points are :
- Impressive number of LLMs. They add new ones every month, and even if I don't use all of them, some have an extremely low cost in credits.
- The fact that the product has evolved so much in the space of a few months makes me confident about the future.
- API access lets you use Straico as you would with OpenAI, and above all, it lets developers create tools or interfaces to further enhance the user experience (for example, a community member has developed an API for Google sheets => now I can clean my files more cheaply!)
There are a few negative points, however:
- Unlike other tools such as Voilà or Merlin, each request made after a first prompt will retrieve data from all the questions and answers in the current prompt, making it impossible to train. With Merlin, for example, I always used the same chat to write my prospecting emails: the LLM had all the previous context in the prompt, he was aware of my activity, my products, etc... With Straico, you have to recreate a chat and condense the information into a new prompt, otherwise your credits will quickly melt away.
Jorge_Straico
Dec 12, 2024Thanks for your in-depth review Jerome! We're glad to know that you are enjoying Straico, our speed and new models! (We're adding a new batch of models really soon!).
Thanks as well for the feedback, I can share with you that we're working on a different way to process your interactions, directly related to how the credits may be used... And how to keep data and summarize previous messages to be able to keep more context without having to keep sending the whole conversation back and forth. We are working really hard so you can try it!

Awesome
I've had Tier 3 for 10 days now, and I've been using it for about 2-10 chats daily, primarily with one LLM, GPT-4o. So far, I've used 5K credits and I'm very satisfied with the results. What I like the most are the smart mode, text-to-speech, browsing capability, and the ability to group chat history in a folder.
However, I wish they offered the ability to save the history of text-to-speech and GenAI videos, if possible. I would also appreciate integration and scheduling of posts to social media, as you have a vast prompt library.

One of the best all in one AI Workplace
I've been using Straico for over a year now and wanted to test everything before posting a review.
Straico has really improved how I write content. It gives me access to top-notch AI models that help me create great articles, blog posts, youtube scripts in less time with pre-defined prompts (plus I can add my own prompts). The user interface is simple to use, letting me adjust outputs to fit what I'm writing about. Plus, I don't have to spend much time editing afterwards, which is a big time-saver especially with the desktop app they are working on will be a game changer.
What I love about Straico is its variety of AI models from big names like Claude, Google, Meta, Mistral, xAI Grok and more, and did I mentioned you can compare the outputs of up to 4 models? This makes it super versatile. It’s like having a whole creative team, complete with writing tools, image generator (specially Flux Pro 1.1), text to audio and text to video (coming soon as per devs) and I believe more features are on roadmap also.
It's truly all AIs in one place.
I know review was long overdue, but all I can say that it's one of the best choices I've ever made. The support team is super friendly, responsive and they love critics.
Even if you missed the lifetime deal I think their monthly plan is worth a shot—you won't regret it!
Overall, Straico is a must-have for anyone into content creation or digital media. If only I could give 10 tacos, they truly deserve it.

Great Community, Easy API Integration, Supportive Devs
I am really happy with the community. I created Aah Sheet and was asked to integrate with Straico. I had not heard of Straico, but after adding to the Google Sheet tool it became clear that the community is wonderful, dev team is very supportive, and is a tool that I can recommend. I haven't had a chance to really dive in, but with Straico, NeuronWriter API, and Aah Sheet I was able to build 50 articles with scores of 70 to 80 in a couple hours using the flows. It was smooth to build the integration and get everything working. Highly recommend.

Good results with ChatGPT variants
This is reminiscent of a Swiss army knife. You'll probably find one or two tools useful but perhaps not everything.
I needed to pull out relevant parts of a longer text and group them by theme as a base for writing customer case studies. I tried asking it to run through ChatGPT-4 Turbo and Gryphe MythoMax as the "editor's choice" for text-based prompts.
Gryphe unfortunately consistently generated unsatisfactory results. ChatGPT-4 Turbo used a lot of coins.
So I ended up using 3.5, 4o, and 4o-mini, which also generate good results but without using too many tokens (even when combined they don't use as many as 4 Turbo).
I like the template option where you can create your own prompt and variables since I'd be using it for similar reasons (case studies). There are lots of other templates for various use cases like email writing, generating prompts for image generators, and so on, which I haven't explored fully.
So far, it does for me what the free version of ChatGPT has already been able to do. But we might find other uses for it as we continue to use it.
Maximiliano_Pulido
Dec 8, 2024Hey brianhahn!
We really appreciate your review. Your comparison of Straico to a Swiss Army knife is an interesting one. Our platform does indeed offer a wide range of tools, from chat-based conversations to Agents and RAG API integrations. We are constantly analyzing ways to bring useful features to our customers.
Regarding the writing tasks you mentioned, some models perform exceptionally well with standard text lengths. However, for longer inputs, you may need to consider whether the information provided is too extensive for the model to analyze fully. This is a common challenge across AI platforms. There are some models that can handle these tasks better, but you can also check if the model supports large amounts of context. For example, Gemini Pro 1.5 supports a large amount of context.
We appreciate your feedback and are committed to continuously improving the user experience on our platform.

I'm in love with this app!
I bought it just yesterday but i'm loving it, love the prompt enhancement and the word cap (otherwise it'd bee to long to compare the answers), after a small use i immediately upgraded to the upper tier. I find it to be much more usable than chat playground, thanks to the word cap.
I'd love even more if it added:
- a function for summarizing the answers with a recap of the differences by the various models (in that case i'd probably choose to remove the said word cap);
- a function like claude projects/gpts.

Dec 4, 2024Hello there JacopoBertagnin!
Thank you for your amazing review. We always appreciate the valuable feedback we receive. The features you mentioned were recently added, as we continuously aim to deliver new capabilities that improve the user experience and expand the tool pool.
Regarding your suggestions, we will keep the summarizing option in mind for future developments, and I have added this to our backlog.
Additionally, I looked into the Claude projects feature you mentioned, and it does seem quite useful. This functionality appears to be similar to one of our ongoing projects, the Agents and RAG project. With this, users will be able to upload multiple files as context for future conversations, lowering costs and making the process easier. Likely, the missing component when we release this feature will be the collaborative workspace and multi-user collaboration in a single space. Nonetheless, we remain committed to continuously upgrading and enhancing all the new features we introduce.
Stay tuned for further updates!
