Flocci AI Tools lists 68 of them, ordered free tiers first: Apertus Chat (Public AI), Chatbox, Falcon LLM Chat (TII), Google AI Mode and HuggingChat. 65 of the 68 are free or have a free tier. Each entry states what it uniquely does rather than a score.
27 on this page are marked fully free with no paid plan at all: Apertus Chat (Public AI), Chatbox, Falcon LLM Chat (TII), Google AI Mode and HuggingChat. The remaining 41 are freemium, trial or paid, and each is labelled with its exact tier so nothing surprises you at sign-up.
Free tools first, then freemium, then trial, then paid, and alphabetically inside each tier. Nobody pays to appear higher: Flocci AI Tools carries no ads, no sponsored slots and no paid listings, so the order reflects price and nothing else.
