Not every free tier is worth your time. These ones are.

Assistants

DeepSeek is completely free and strong at math and code. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all offer free access to capable models with message limits.

Leonardo AI refills free credits daily. Ideogram gives free generations every day and is the best at rendering readable text inside an image.

ElevenLabs offers a monthly free character quota with the most natural voices on the market. Suno gives daily credits, enough for several full songs.

GitHub Copilot and Windsurf both ship free tiers with code completion. Cursor includes a free agent request allowance.

A free plan usually restricts commercial use. If the output goes into a product or an ad, read the terms first.
