The honest brief
Compose AI
Lives inline as autocomplete wherever you type — Gmail, Docs, the web — rather than a separate chat window you copy answers out of.
- Inline autocomplete anywhere you type
- Drafts full emails from one instruction
- Free core tier
- Custom text-expansion shortcuts
- Chromium browsers only
- Best for short-form writing, not long docs
- Personalization features gated to premium
MaxAI
Leans on fast select-text quick actions and saved prompt templates rather than bundling a kitchen-sink sidebar.
- Strong page-context awareness
- Fast select-text contextual actions
- Multi-model (GPT, Claude, Gemini, more)
- Clear free plan with real daily limits
- Free tier is limited
- Busier UI than some rivals
- Overlaps heavily with Sider/Monica
- Closed source
