Chub suits heavy chatters who want one flat price, and people who already pay for a model and want to use it. Its chat trees and JSONL or PNG exports also appeal if you move chats between tools.

- Custom voices you design or clone
- No monthly fee to keep up: pay only for what you use, and bought tokens never expire
