FAQ
Which AI tools are completely free?
Tools whose plan line says free and open source have no paid plan in our data. Everything else on this page has a free plan next to paid ones; the plan line under each tool says which.
How do you know these are still free?
Each free plan was checked on the vendor's own pricing page. The date and a link to that page sit next to every tool. Tools we couldn't verify recently are left off this list.
Do free AI tools have limits?
Most free plans cap usage, features or seats. We show the vendor's own plan line; open the source link for the full limits before you rely on a free plan.
Get the weekly AI price changes email
One email a week: AI tool price changes and new alternatives, with sources. Free, no spam, unsubscribe any time. See our privacy policy.
