Why This Matters
- Storage: Others keep your chats in plaintext; Veila encrypts them so only you can read them.
- Anonymity: Others tie requests to accounts or IPs; Veila strips identifying data.
- Pricing: Others make you pay a fixed amount per month; Veila introduces pay-as-you-go.
- Models: Others limit you to one company’s models; Veila will let you choose across providers.
- Productivity: Veila features various convenience features like folders, background resume (send a prompt, then go to other chats while the reply keeps coming in in the background), and many more.
In short: With Veila you’re not locked in, you’re not tracked, and your data stays yours.
