Morse vs Maple AI: where your chats are kept, which models you get, and what it costs

The Morse teamPublished November 3, 2026Facts checked November 3, 20267 min read

In Morse vs Maple AI, both offer end-to-end encrypted chats with open-weight models in enclaves, and they split on three things: what you can use for free, which models you get, and where your chats are kept. As of November 3, 2026, Maple encrypts every chat end to end, on its free plan too (Maple), but runs only open-weight models (Maple) and describes your history as stored encrypted (Maple) and synced (Maple). Morse gives you GPT, Claude, and Gemini without the provider knowing it's you, keeps your history only in your browser, and starts end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) chats on Pro at $19 a month. Choose Maple for E2EE without paying, native apps (Maple), and an API (Maple); choose Morse for frontier models, a privacy mode picked per chat, and no server copy of your history.

We read Maple's home page, pricing page, model library, proof page, cybersecurity page, privacy notice and terms (both revised October 20, 2026), two of its guides, and its GitHub repository on November 3, 2026. Maple deserves credit for how much it shows you. Its proof page lists every check its app runs, says what those checks don't prove, and admits it hasn't been audited yet (Maple).

Does Maple keep your chats on its servers?

Yes, encrypted: Maple says "Your chat history is stored encrypted" (Maple) and that chats are "synced automatically between devices" (Maple), which we cover in more depth in Maple vs Venice. Morse keeps no server copy at all, because our servers don't keep messages or log their content, so your history is kept only in your browser.

Can Maple see your email and IP address?

It can see your account details, as any service you sign up for can. Maple's privacy notice lists your name, email, phone number, linked social media user names, and payment information, and says it automatically collects "your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system," and location, mainly for security and "for our internal analytics and reporting purposes" (Maple). A Maple guide published October 11, 2026 says "Maple's server code does not record your IP address" and points to its open-source code (Maple).

Maple also offers a no-email account, an Account ID and password paid a year at a time in Bitcoin, that it can't recover if you lose it (Maple).

On Morse, you sign in with a code emailed to you or with Google, and Anonymous mode removes your account, email, and IP address before a message goes to GPT, Claude, or Gemini, so the provider sees the message without knowing it's you.

Which models can you use on Morse and Maple?

Maple runs open-weight models only, eight of them in its chat picker as of its October 5, 2026 review, from GLM and Kimi to DeepSeek and Llama (Maple). Morse has over 30 models, open and closed, in one account: GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok alongside DeepSeek, Kimi, and GLM. The Free plan includes GPT-6 Luna, Claude Haiku 5.5, and GLM 5.3 Flash, and Pro adds unlimited use of models such as Claude Sonnet 5.5, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and Grok 4.7, plus 250 credits a month for frontier models. Studio adds image generation, and Characters adds roleplay and companion chats.

Does either one check the enclave for you?

Both do, before you send anything. Maple's app checks the enclave's attestation at the start of every session (Maple), which our Maple vs Confer comparison walks through. Morse's E2EE mode has your browser verify the enclave against versions pinned in the Morse app, with a lock on each reply listing the checks that passed. Our guide to verifying an AI enclave's attestation explains what each kind of check proves.

Which one refuses less?

Maple's one fewer-refusal model is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Uncensored, "an abliterated copy of the October build, included on Pro, Max and Team plans" (Maple), and Maple vs Venice compares it with Venice's filters. On Morse, any paid plan lets you pick unfiltered models for dark fiction, straight medical and legal answers, and help testing your own security.

What do Morse and Maple cost?

Morse Pro is $19 a month, or $17 billed yearly, and Maple Pro is $20, with no yearly price listed (Maple). At the top, Morse Max is $49 a month and Maple Max is $100. Maple vs Venice breaks down what each Maple plan includes.

How Morse lets you pick who reads each chat

Maple's design answers one question well: can the operator read what you send to an open-weight model? Most people also want GPT, Claude, or Gemini some of the time, and a history no server holds. Morse handles both in one app, with a privacy mode you pick for each chat.

• Anonymous, when you want a frontier lab's model. Pick GPT, Claude, or Gemini and the request leaves our proxy stripped of your account, email, and IP address, carrying Morse's account instead of yours. The lab sees the message without knowing it's you, and may keep it for a limited time to check for abuse, under its own policy, so write the question without your name or anything that points back to you.
• Private, the default, for everyday open-weight chats. DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, and xAI's Grok run under Morse's zero data retention agreements with its inference, search, and other providers. Where a provider confirms zero retention on each reply, Morse checks it and refuses a reply that doesn't.
• E2EE, for anything no one should read. Your browser checks the enclave's proof before the message leaves your device, seals it for that enclave only, and decrypts the reply in your browser; our servers relay ciphertext they can't read. The enclaves are run by third-party providers, not by Morse, and the guarantee depends on the enclave hardware and attestation working as designed. E2EE runs open-weight models without web search or image generation, and comes with Pro.

In every mode, your chat history, Studio images, and characters are stored in your browser, encrypted, and locked when you sign out. Unlocking takes two keys, one that never leaves your device and one our server gives you at sign-in, so a copy of the browser data alone can't be read. There's no server copy to sync, and because we don't store chats, we usually have very little to give authorities. Clearing the browser deletes your chats for good, so save a copy of anything you need. Morse doesn't train AI on your chats, sell your data, or show ads. The browser checks are explained step by step in how end-to-end encrypted AI chat works.

Choose Maple or Morse

• Choose Maple if you want end-to-end encryption without paying for it. Every Maple plan has it, Free included (Maple), while Morse's E2EE comes with Pro. Maple is also the pick if you work from installed apps (it ships them for iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux, per Maple) and want one history that follows you between them (Maple), if you'd wire its models into your own programs over its API (Maple), if you'd rather rebuild its MIT-licensed source yourself (GitHub), or if you'd sign up with no email address (Maple).
• Choose Morse if you want the frontier labs' models alongside open-weight ones without handing over who you are, a privacy mode you set for each chat, image generation and unfiltered models under one $19 subscription, a top tier that costs $49 rather than $100, and history kept only in your browser.
