Famous Indian YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, with 29.5 million subscribers, launched his startup AI Fiesta on August 17. The app basically brings six top AI tools under one umbrella, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, and DeepSeek. The app launch has taken the internet by storm. His video has nearly 4.9 million views and 31K engagements on YouTube alone, along with hundreds of influencers’ reactions and thousands of conversations on ‘X’ and LinkedIn. His new startup promotes a strong movement in India: “AI Should Be a Utility, Not a Luxury.” So, what exactly does the app do? And are people really talking about it? Let’s find out.
What Is AI Fiesta by Dhruv Rathee?
Dhruv and his team identified a major problem that all users face when working with AI. According to them and their startup, no AI is perfect (each AI has its strengths and weaknesses). For example, Claude is good at writing naturally, but ChatGPT often gets facts wrong, etc.
Given that, it really takes a lot of time to check through all the other AIs for the same query. Also, their free versions are less powerful compared to their subscription plans. Generally, each tool costs $20–30 per month (₹1,700–2,500 each). So, it’s almost impossible to access the Pro versions of each tool because it can get very expensive.
And according to his own survey, approximately 73% of people who attended his AI course used only free versions. That’s why he came up with Fiesta. AI Fiesta is like a hub for AIs. You give it a query, it gets answers from all six AIs, and you pick the best one to work with. How is it a budget-friendly option if it comprises all the big AIs in one?
How Does This Compare to Buying All Subscriptions Separately?
To make the best out of top AIs, you’ll need their pro versions of each, which come at a cost of:
- ChatGPT Plus: ₹1,700/month
- Claude Pro: ₹1,700/month
- Perplexity Pro: ₹1,700/month
- Gemini Advanced: ₹1,700/month
- Total = ₹6,800/month (₹81,600/year)
Whereas the pricing of AI Fiesta looks like:
- Monthly plan prices at ₹999
- The yearly plan is ₹9,999 (₹834/month)
So one can end up saving a whopping total of ₹70,000+ per year. And the tool already welcomed 20,000+ paying users in 36 hours.
Here’s What the Users Have to Say
A user on the platform ‘X’ posted, “Dhruv Rathee is back to scamming people again. Almost every AI model runs on OpenAI’s API, especially Gemini. It is not even running the latest GPT-5 API as per his claim, it’s actually running on the old GPT-4 API.”
A YouTuber viewer commented on the video, “See, I’m a researcher and content writer. I actually use AI tools like 4 and 7 for researching and refining my scripts. And honestly, even though I earn a good amount of money, paying for all those AI tools every year wasn’t really feasible for me. But this feels like a game changer (sic).”
Simply, the reviews are mixed; some found it helpful, while others didn’t.
