What you might be looking for
The newest Claude models
Claude Fable 5.1 (up to 31 messages a month on Pro), Claude Opus 5.5 (up to 62), Claude Sonnet 5 (up to 125) and Claude Haiku 4.5 (up to 250), from one allowance you can mix. Every paid plan includes Fable.
A limit you can see
The picker shows how many messages you have left on every model, and the message box shows it again before you send. There are no 5-hour sessions or weekly caps: a monthly count, everyday models that refill daily, and a soft cap of 100 replies an hour.
Every reply shows the model that wrote it
If Anthropic's safety system passes a Claude message to another Claude model, the reply names the model that answered and says what you were charged for.
More than one company's models
Ask Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, GLM, or Mistral in one chat, and switch models whenever a question calls for it. The next model sees the whole conversation.

Switching from Claude
Sign in with your email: we send a link, there's no password to set.
Keep using Claude where it suits you: Claude Sonnet 5 for most work, Claude Fable 5.1 when a question deserves it. Switch models in the same chat for a second opinion.
Save your usual instructions as a persona, with Claude (or any model) as its default.
Attach the files you'd have uploaded before: PDFs, images and text files.
When llmwise isn't the right fit
If you use Claude all day and nothing else, or need Claude Code, the desktop app or voice, Claude's own plans are built for that, and give you more Claude.
Questions
Is Claude Fable 5.1 included in llmwise Pro?
Yes: every paid plan includes it. Pro ($20) gets up to 31 Claude Fable 5.1 messages a month and Max ($50) up to 100, from the same allowance as the other models. It isn't in the free trial.
Will I get as many Claude messages as on Claude Pro?
Probably not, if Claude is all you use: each company's own plan gives you more of its own models, and Anthropic doesn't publish a count to compare with. llmwise is for using the right model for each question, Claude among them, with your count shown before you send.
Is it the real Claude?
Yes: Anthropic's own models. In llmwise, a message to Claude goes to its maker, Anthropic, or through OpenRouter when llmwise can't reach the maker directly. Differences from Claude's app: Claude models run at medium effort, a reply is up to 8,000 tokens on Pro, there's no voice or Claude Code, and Anthropic's safety system can pass a Fable or Opus message to another Claude model, which the reply then names.
Can I bring my Claude history?
No, there's no importer. Start a new chat, and paste in anything you want to carry over.
Is llmwise free?
To try it: Free is a one-time trial of 5 messages on every model but Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra (one of them can be on Claude Opus 5.5), with no card. It doesn't refill; paid plans add every model, everyday messages every day and a monthly allowance for the rest.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, GLM, and Mistral, in one chat.
