Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Anthropic API
- AWS Marketplace lists Claude Opus 4.8 (Amazon Bedrock Edition), published by seller Anthropic, at $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens for standard usage, or $2.50 and $12.50 per million tokens respectively for batch processing
- AWS Marketplace's Anthropic listing shows cache write tokens billed separately at $6.25 per million tokens for the standard 5-minute cache, rising to $10.00 per million tokens for a 1-hour cache TTL
Copilotly
- Copilotly explicitly disclaims that its legal, medical, and financial copilots are not a substitute for licensed professional advice, which limits its use for anything requiring accountable expert sign-off.
- The free plan caps usage at 3 copilots and 50 messages per day, pushing most real usage onto the paid Pro tier.
- It relies on third-party foundation models (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) rather than proprietary domain models, so answer quality is bounded by those underlying models.
- There is no published documentation site or API, limiting integration options for developers or teams wanting to build on top of it.
- Safari support is listed as 'coming soon' rather than available, so macOS/iOS Safari users are currently unsupported in-browser.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Three copilots of your choosing, 50 messages a day, conversation history and the browser extension. No card and no time limit: the 50 messages are a daily cap that resets rather than a total.

Pro bills three ways: $4.99 a week, $29 a month, or $290 a year. The annual cycle works out at about $24.17 a month, so it is the cheapest of the three.
SourceCopilotly: Can I try it before paying, and can I get a refund?
Pro has a three-day free trial and a seven-day money-back guarantee. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time with no cancellation fee.
SourceCopilotly: Which models does Copilotly run on?
It routes to third-party foundation models rather than its own: GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. Answer quality is therefore bounded by whichever of those handles a query.
