What you can get AI to do for free.

61 of the 82 guides on this site work start to finish on a free account. No trial, no card details, no “upgrade to continue” halfway through. If you’re just testing whether AI is worth your time, or you’re broke, or you simply don’t want another subscription clogging up your bank statement, start here.

The other 21 guides need a paid plan for the main tool, and they say so upfront, right at the top. I’m not going to pretend free tiers do everything paid ones do, because they don’t. But you’d be surprised how much of this stuff genuinely doesn’t need the expensive version.
