Ask once. Four models answer at the same time, and Quartet gives you the one answer they agree on, with the places they split underneath. Type a question. Four seats light up as GPT, Gemini, Claude and Qwen answer in parallel. When they finish, Quartet writes the quorum: the answer they support together, and a short list of where they disagree, so you can see it rather than guess it. Every thread is remembered. Open it later, ask a follow up, and the panel picks up where it left off. Turn MEMORY off on the ACCOUNT screen and nothing is kept between threads. A new account starts with a hundred credits at no charge. A question costs a few. No keys to paste, no setup, one username. Made for people who already paste the same question into several chatbots and compare by hand. SUBSCRIPTION AND CREDITS Quartet Pro is an auto-renewable subscription at $9.99 per month with 600 credits each month, billed to your Apple ID.
