Every option in the catalog for when you need to chat with a frontier model without paying — 31 AI chatbots, 30 of them free or freemium, with the pricing tier printed on every row.
Flocci AI Tools lists 31 of them, ordered free tiers first: Alibaba Quark AI Assistant, Baichuan Bai Xiao Ying (百小应), Baidu Ernie Bot (Wenxin Yiyan), Falcon LLM Chat (TII) and HuggingChat. 30 of the 31 are free or have a free tier. Each entry states what it uniquely does rather than a score.
12 on this page are marked fully free with no paid plan at all: Alibaba Quark AI Assistant, Baichuan Bai Xiao Ying (百小应), Baidu Ernie Bot (Wenxin Yiyan), Falcon LLM Chat (TII) and HuggingChat. The remaining 19 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.
