Frequently asked questions

Are these AI tools really free?
Every tool listed has a genuine free way in — a free plan or free tier, or open weights you can run yourself. Each card shows the pricing type, and the full listing spells out what the free tier actually includes and where its limits are. Anything that is only free for a limited period is labelled "Free trial" so you know before you click.
What is the difference between free, freemium, and free trial?
Free means there is a genuinely free plan you can keep using. Freemium means a free tier sits alongside paid plans, so you can start free and pay only if you outgrow it. Free trial means it becomes paid after a limited period. Every listing is tagged with one of these, so the cost model is clear up front.
How often is the directory checked?
Each listing carries a verification status and the month its facts were last confirmed against the provider's own pages. The list is kept current through 2026, and pricing or free-tier changes are corrected as they are found — you can always see how fresh a listing is on the listing itself.
How are the tools chosen?
Each tool is added by hand after being used for real work — there is no submission form, no bulk import, and no scraped catalogue. Nothing is ranked, featured, or described more kindly for money. The result is a short list where everything is here for a reason.
