All 72 research & learning tools in the catalog across 11 sub-categories, ordered free tiers first.
Flocci AI Tools lists 72 of them, ordered free tiers first: Ai2 Paper Finder (Asta), AlphaFold Server, alphaXiv, Amazon Rufus and Boltz. 69 of the 72 are free or have a free tier. Each entry states what it uniquely does rather than a score.
18 on this page are marked fully free with no paid plan at all: Ai2 Paper Finder (Asta), AlphaFold Server, alphaXiv, Amazon Rufus and Boltz. The remaining 54 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.
