I highly recommend using Claude 3 Opus from the API, especially if you just want to try it out. It’s not free but the API doesn’t require an upfront flat fee and doesn’t have rate limits etc!
There’s some options for desktop like TypingMind.
For iOS I wanted to suggest my app called Pal Chat that lets you use your own API Key to chat with Claude, and it’s completely free to download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pal-ai-chat-client/id6447545085
(The app also has no backend and takes absolutely no usage data. You can verify this by going to the app privacy report in iOS settings!)

I wanted to share my iOS app that lets you chat with Claude 3 Opus for free! You use your own API key, and the app provides the chat interface.
Since the app is powered by your own API Key - that means there's no backend, and the app also supports on-device conversation history. This makes all your chats fully private and secure.
The app also offers API Key access to all the major LLMs like GPT-4 Turbo, Gemini Pro, Mistral Large etc.
