About AI Free List

What this site is

Most lists of "free AI tools" are copied from vendor marketing pages, and many of the tools on them are free trials in disguise — free for seven days, free until you hit a paywall on the first task, or free only with a credit card on file. This site takes the opposite approach: a tool is listed only if its free plan works without paying, and each tool page says exactly what the free plan includes, where it stops, and what the paid plan costs.

The site is run by a small independent team. It is not owned by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any tool listed here, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher.

How we verify a tool

Before a tool is published, we check it ourselves, on the free plan, in four steps:

1. Confirm the free plan exists. We read the tool's official pricing page and check that there is a free plan or free tier with no credit card required, and we record what it includes.
2. Use it. We sign up where a free account is required and run a real task on the free plan — generating images, writing text, editing audio, or whatever the tool does — and note what worked and what did not.
3. Record the limits. Daily or monthly caps, watermarks, export restrictions, non-commercial terms, and anything else that changes what "free" means are written on the tool page, in plain language.
4. Date the check. Every tool page shows the date it was last verified. Free plans change often, so pages are re-checked regularly and updated when the facts change.

We label each tool "Free" or "Freemium". "Free" means the core feature is genuinely usable on the free plan, even if it is capped. "Freemium" means the free plan exists but is heavily limited — for example, a one-time credit allowance, a watermark on every export, or a ban on commercial use — so most regular users will need to pay. The label is shown on every tool page and in every listing.

What we will not list

We do not list tools whose only purpose is to undress people in images, download videos from streaming services, bypass DRM or paywalls, spy on someone, write essays or sit exams for someone, forge documents, or distribute malware. We also do not list tools with no verifiable free tier, or tools that have announced they are shutting down.

How the site is funded

The site is funded by advertising, shown after approval by the advertising provider. Advertising does not influence which tools are listed or what a review says. We do not sell listings, rankings, or reviews, and we do not use affiliate links that pay us when you sign up for a tool.

Corrections and suggestions

Free plans change, and we sometimes get a detail wrong. If a free plan has changed, a limit is missing, or a tool deserves to be listed, email [email protected]. Corrections are checked against the tool's official pages before the listing is updated. See the Contact page for what to include.
