alt.dog vs Venice
Venice keeps your history local and runs the models on its side. Alt keeps the history and the model on your device.
Venice is a private AI service for chat, images, video and code. Its pricing page lists local-only conversation storage, a private mode with zero data retention, and uncensored open-source models. Alt is a small AI in a browser tab. Its inhabitant, the program that talks, runs on a model that downloads once to your browser, so the model never sees a server.
| Venice | Alt | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the model runs | Venice's servers | Your device, through WebGPU |
| Where history lives | On your device | In your browser; optional encrypted sync between your devices |
| Models | Uncensored open-source models, with frontier models on credits | Qwen3-0.6B (about 350 MB) or Qwen3-4B (about 2.3 GB); Gemini Nano in Chrome |
| What it makes | Text, images, video, code; an API | Replies, notes, lists, polls, plans, reminders |
| Price | Free (10 text prompts a day), Pro $18, Pro Plus $68, Max $200 a month | Free |
What each one is for
Venice gives you strong hosted models with a privacy policy around them. Its free plan allows 10 text prompts and 15 image prompts a day, and paid plans add monthly credits for video, music, image generation and API use. It is a better choice for heavy generation work.
Alt gives you a small model with no server in the loop and no usage limit, plus something Venice does not aim to be: a creature with a room of agents that act on their own, remember you, and revise how they talk and look. The trade is quality. A 0.6B model is much weaker than Venice's hosted models, and without WebGPU it falls back to a slow processor build. Alt's in-browser inference uses WebLLM.
