DuckDuckGo introduces paid tier with advanced OpenAI & Anthropic models
DuckDuckGo supercharges your privacy-first browsing with even more AI muscle! Building on the success of its Duck.ai service, which already boasts affordable AI models like GPT-4o mini and Claude 3.5 Haiku, DuckDuckGo is now unleashing premium power. Get ready for the big guns from OpenAI and Anthropic, available through a new subscription plan. Experience cutting-edge AI without sacrificing your data’s integrity – it’s the DuckDuckGo way.
DuckDuckGo Subscription gives access to advanced OpenAI and Anthropic chatbots
DuckDuckGo’s subscription service just leveled up! Formerly Privacy Pro, this privacy powerhouse still shields you with Personal Information Removal, Identity Theft Restoration, and DuckDuckGo VPN. But the real news? It’s now a chatbot haven, integrating cutting-edge AI from OpenAI and Anthropic. Get ready to access the brains of GPT-4, GPT-5 (yes, you read that right!), Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4, and even Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick. DuckDuckGo promises regular model updates, keeping you at the forefront of AI innovation while safeguarding your privacy.
DuckDuckGo’s AI-powered chats remain private, just like always. Your data stays yours, never fueling future AI development. Not a fan of the AI revolution? No problem. A simple settings tweak on your desktop or mobile browser banishes every AI button and feature from sight.

The company is exploring even higher subscription tiers
DuckDuckGo’s AI playground unlocks a world of premium models for $9.99 monthly or $99 yearly, globally. Think of it as your all-access pass, usable in any browser, though DuckDuckGo hints at peak convenience within their own. Heavy AI users, rejoice! This subscription acts as a unified control panel, streamlining access to diverse AI tools under one digital roof.
DuckDuckGo’s AI ambitions don’t stop here. Whispers hint at premium, souped-up AI models arriving soon, locked behind higher subscription tiers. But don’t worry, free users! The core Duck.ai experience you love remains untouched – still free, still private, still no strings attached.
