General Purpose Chatbots — straight answers

What are the best free AI chatbots?

Flocci AI Tools lists 41 AI chatbots, ordered free tiers first: Apertus Chat (Public AI), Falcon LLM Chat (TII), Google AI Mode, HuggingChat and Jais Chat. 40 of the 41 are free or have a free tier. Every entry states what it uniquely does, not a score.

Are there completely free AI chatbots?

Yes — 19 of these are marked fully free with no paid plan attached: Apertus Chat (Public AI), Falcon LLM Chat (TII), Google AI Mode, HuggingChat and Jais Chat. The rest are freemium, trial or paid, and each row states which.

What should I look for in AI chatbots?

Start with what you need to do: chat with a frontier model without paying. Then check the pricing tier, because "free" here means no paid plan at all while "freemium" means a free tier under paid plans. Every tool on this page lists both.
