Free AI: frequently asked questions
Is there really free AI?
Yes. Almost every major service has a free plan with a limit: some count messages, others refresh every few hours. We show each limit and the date we checked it. See limits →
Which AI works without an account?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Duck.ai, Ask Brave and Kimi let you chat without signing up. Without an account, your history usually isn't saved. See limits →
What can I do when I hit the free limit?
Wait for it to reset (many reset every 5 hours or the next day), or continue the conversation in another free AI with our transfer tool, without losing the context. See limits →
How do I move a ChatGPT conversation to another AI?
Copy the chat or ask for a summary, paste it into the transfer tool and open it in the chatbot you pick. Everything happens in your browser. See limits →
Which free AI makes images?
Bing Image Creator, Leonardo, Ideogram, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot and Meta AI all make images on their free plans, each with its own limit. See limits →
Do free AI tools keep what I type?
Usually, yes: each service has its own policy and may use chats to improve its models. Don't paste passwords, personal documents or other people's data.
Can I use free AI for school?
For studying, reviewing and asking questions, yes. Check your school's rules and don't hand in writing that isn't yours. See limits →
How do you check the limits?
We read the official pricing and help pages: most every day, a few once a week and some by hand. Every service shows the date and a link to the source. See limits →
Are you affiliated with OpenAI, Google or other companies?
No. We're an independent site; brand names appear only to identify the services.
