Free AI tools: common questions
Are these AI tools completely free?
Each tool listed here has a free plan described on its official pricing page. Free plans have limits, such as monthly minutes, credits, conversations or features, which are summarized under each tool. Paid plans remove or raise those limits.
Is a free trial the same as a free plan?
No. A free trial ends after a set period, while a free plan can be used for as long as the vendor offers it. This page only lists tools with a free plan; tools that only offer a trial are in the main directory.
How do you check the free plans?
We read each vendor’s official pricing page and record the date we checked it. Plans change often, so confirm the current limits on the vendor’s site before relying on them.
