ChatHub puts multiple assistants in one browser panel so answers can be compared side by side, and supports each through either a web session or an API key you supply. The API path is the one that concerns this directory, and it is genuinely bring-your-own-key. Read the maintenance badge before installing: the default branch has not been committed to for several months and the README still lists services that have since been discontinued, so treat the provider list as historical rather than current. GPL-3.0.

How this tool was scored

Key handling 57/100 (where your key rests and who sees it, comparable across any licence) and verifiability 70/100 (how much of that BYOAIK could confirm, lower for closed source). Neither contains a popularity signal.

  • Key Safety 13/25: The key is persisted in browser local storage, which any script on the page can read.
  • Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
  • Transparency 20/20: Source is public under GPL-3.0, so anyone can check how the key is handled.
  • Privacy 4/15: Analytics or error-reporting libraries are present; what they send was not established.
  • Maintenance 5/10: Last commit was within the last year.
  • Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.

What was checked

Verification tier RESEARCH_ASSISTED, derived from the evidence below and not set by hand.

  • [REPORTED · RESEARCH] This listing was compiled by an AI-assisted research pass over the tool's public website, README and documentation. No person independently confirmed it.
  • [REPORTED · SOURCE_SCAN] References Sentry, so some analytics or error reporting is present. This scan cannot tell whether it is opt-in or what it sends. source
  • [CONFIRMED · SOURCE_SCAN] Most recent commit 2026-02-27, about 7 month(s) ago. source

How your API key is handled
