About aifree.dev

Most lists of free AI tools go stale within weeks: trials end, credits start asking for a card, startup programs change their rules. aifree.dev keeps one record per offer with what you get, the limits, the eligibility rules, whether a card is required and the date someone last checked the provider's own page. A nightly monitor re-opens those pages and flags changes for review, and expired offers are labelled instead of quietly left up. No ads, no paid placement, no sign-up wall.

Figures you can quote

Computed from the live catalog, refreshed every few minutes. Only verified offers count. Dollar values are the amounts providers state; startup programs publish "up to" values that most companies will not reach. More cuts in the State of Free AI 2026 report.

Badges for providers

If your free tier, credits or program is listed, you can show it on your pricing page, docs or README. The badge is an SVG at /badge/<offer-slug> that names the free amount and links to your offer page, so readers see the terms we verified. The example below is for Groq's free tier; replace the slug with yours (it is the last part of your offer page URL).
