About Free.ai
Free.ai puts 400+ AI tools, 346+ models, and 100+ languages in one place — free to try, no commitment.
Founded by John Nader. We think people should be able to test and play with AI tools before deciding to pay for them. That's it — no manifesto, just a straightforward business decision.
Why We Built This
AI products cost real money to run — GPUs aren't cheap. Most tools pass that cost to users as $20-50/month subscriptions before you've even figured out if the tool is useful for you. That's a lot to ask when you're just exploring.
We self-host open-source models on our own GPU infrastructure, which keeps costs way down compared to paying per-API-call to third parties. Models like Qwen 2.5, FLUX, Kokoro, and Whisper do the job well — and since they're open-source, we only pay for the hardware. That lets us offer generous free tiers that actually make sense economically.
For premium models like GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini — those have real per-use costs we can't avoid. So those are available with straightforward token pricing. You only pay for what you use, no subscription required.
How It Works
- Free daily tokens — 10,000/day without an account, 50,000/day with a free account. No credit card.
- Self-hosted models — We run Qwen 2.5, FLUX, Kokoro, Whisper, and more on our own GPU servers. Cheapest option.
- 346+ external models — GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and hundreds more via OpenRouter. Pay per use with tokens.
- One token system — Everything costs tokens. You can see exactly what something costs before you use it.
How We Operate
Open Source Models
Every model we host is MIT or Apache 2.0 licensed. Your outputs are yours — personal or commercial, no restrictions from us.
Очисти цену
Token costs shown upfront. Self-hosted models: no markup. External models: 30% markup, clearly labeled. No hidden fees.
Privacy
We don't sell your data or use your inputs to train models. Self-hosted processing stays on our servers.
Real Numbers
Stats on the site are real, not inflated. If something's not ready yet, we say so rather than pretend otherwise.
