Jarvi

Ask once. Compare every AI. Other assistants give you one answer and you have to trust it. Jarvi asks several models the same question at the same time and puts the answers side by side, so you can swipe through them and keep the one that's actually right. COMPARE ANSWERS Send a message to two, three or more models at once. Swipe between the answer cards, keep the best one, and the conversation carries on from there. ONE APP, EVERY MODEL Twenty models from eleven vendors — no separate subscriptions, no separate apps. Pick a model per message, or let Jarvi pick. STUDIO Describe a picture and get it. Change the shape, make it bigger, then animate it into a short clip. Everything you make is kept and easy to find again. SKILLS Connect the tools you already use, and ask Jarvi to work with them in plain language. Add your own MCP server with a URL and a key. YOUR CONTEXT, IF YOU WANT IT Health summaries, calendar, mail, location and contacts. Each one is off by default, switched on by you, and explained before it is asked for. VOICE Hold to talk. Your words become text, and the recording is never stored. PROJECTS AND COLLECTIONS Group conversations into projects with their own files and instructions. Save any answer or picture into a collection you can come back to. JARVI PLUS Jarvi runs on credits, and Plus is how you get them: a monthly or weekly allowance, renewed automatically. Credits never expire, so a quiet month carries forward instead of vanishing, and one-off top-ups stack on top whenever you need more. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Jarvi Plus is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://jarviai.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://jarviai.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Plainly AI at 3 against Jarvi's 1. Plainly AI also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
