AI App vs AI Actions
Side-by-side comparison · Updated April 2026
| Description | AI App provides an affordable, intuitive platform for accessing cutting-edge large language models like GPT-4, Google PaLM 2, and Mistral 7B. With a single membership, users can enjoy seamless integration across web, mobile, and desktop platforms, simply by clicking the 'Get Started' button. | The AI Actions app offers powerful AI-related actions (including GPT-4o, GPT-4, and GPT 3.5) for Apple's Shortcuts app, facilitating interaction with the ChatGPT API. It requires users to supply their own OpenAI API key, which is securely stored in the keychain. The app is optimized for macOS, but requires an Apple silicon Mac for the App Store version, due to Apple's restrictions. A non-App Store version is available for Intel Mac users, although it doesn't receive automatic updates. The app also supports DALL·E and boasts enhanced customizability and longer text handling compared to the official ChatGPT app. |
