Meta AI alternative: plans, limits and who should pick which
Meta AI's cheapest paid plan is $7.99 a month. It publishes no message count, so its price per message can't be worked out. llmwise Pro costs $20 a month and gives up to 125 GPT-6 Sol messages a month ($0.16 each), counted before you send. What Meta AI has that llmwise lacks: the assistant inside WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger.

Is Meta AI cheaper per message than llmwise?
Meta AI publishes no price and count together, so there's no price per message to set beside llmwise's. Here's llmwise Pro's ($20), model by model.
| Where | Messages | A message |
|---|---|---|
| llmwise Pro, GPT-6 Sol | Up to 125 a month | $0.16 |
| llmwise Pro, Claude Sonnet 5 | Up to 125 a month | $0.16 |
| llmwise Pro, Gemini 3.1 Pro (preview) | Up to 125 a month | $0.16 |
One more published limit: Pro's fair use stops at $7.50 of AI spend a month, which a month of typical messages doesn't reach. Very large prompts and heavy research can. Every limit, explained.
