The MaxAI Alternative That Works With Every AI Platform

TL;DR
MaxAI is an AI writing assistant Chrome extension focused on in-page text editing — select text, apply AI transformations. It works well for quick edits but locks you into MaxAI's interface and model selection. Prompt Anything Pro takes a different approach: reusable prompt templates that work across ANY AI platform. Build a library of prompts for writing, coding, analysis, or any task, then use them with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity. No vendor lock-in, deeper customization, and $49.99 lifetime vs MaxAI's monthly subscription.
Why MaxAI Limits Your AI Workflow
Locked into one interface
MaxAI provides its own AI sidebar and text editing interface. If your preferred AI is ChatGPT or Claude's native interface, MaxAI forces you to use theirs instead.
No reusable prompt templates
MaxAI offers preset actions (summarize, rewrite, translate) but no way to build a personal library of custom prompt templates that you can reuse and refine over time.
Limited model flexibility
MaxAI selects which AI models to offer. If you want to use a specific Claude model, a particular GPT, or switch between providers based on task — MaxAI restricts your choices.
Monthly subscription adds up
MaxAI's premium features require a monthly subscription with no lifetime option. Over a year, you'll pay significantly more than a one-time purchase alternative.
