Poke is an assistant you text, with connections to Gmail, Notion and other apps and background automations. The Free plan has lower rate limits than Pro, and only one phone number is allowed per account. Pro is $19 per month billed monthly, and Ultra is $199 per month with pay-as-you-go beyond included credits, a big jump. Email support covers Gmail and Outlook only. Prices checked on 2026-10-02.
ChatGPT is a general assistant for writing, research, analysis and image generation; Plus is $20 per user per month, close to Poke Pro, and a free plan exists. It is an app rather than a text-message contact. Notion AI keeps the assistant inside your workspace, with search, research, meeting notes and agent tasks; Plus is $12 per member per month and the free plan limits AI to a trial. It is the cheaper path if your notes already live there.
