Updated 7 July 2025 at 18:09 IST
Here’s an honest take on ChatGPT- its is great when it works and it’s free. But once you’ve hit your limit for the day or simply want a fresh new AI tool to guide you through then you’ve come to the right place.
In 2025, you won’t have to pay a monthly fee to get good AI help. These free ChatGPT alternatives are there for you whether you need to write an essay, find quick data, or make code. Try a few of them out and see which ones you like best. Don’t download any dubious apps from the Play Store that say they are “ChatGPT Pro++ Ultra Max.” Use the real names above.
There are a lot of free AI chatbots that work and don’t want you to give up your data or soul. Here are five great free ChatGPT alternatives that you can use right now and that don’t make you feel like you’re testing out a poorly trained research experiment.
Gemini by Google is one of the top ChatGPT alternatives. It brings you quick facts and outcomes that are related to the web. Gemini is Google’s AI version of Google Search. It works quickly, is connected to the internet, and provides you answers right away. Gemini knows what’s going on right now, from cricket scores to stock updates. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is sometimes shut off from current online data unless you’re on. It is free, and works fine on mobile phones. The AI can also fetch information from live search. The only con we feel here is that it may seem more mechanical sometimes. Gemini Advanced- the paid version of the app costs Rs 950 per month in India.
People who work in an office and love getting things done Copilot is like ChatGPT’s brother, but it has more money and wears a suit. Microsoft Office products like Word and Excel, as well as Bing and Edge, have it built in. It uses GPT-4 and can connect to the internet. You may also use it on your phone with voice input. It is a great tool for coding, drafting emails, and summarising documents. It can also connect to the web. One drawback that we felt comes with it is that it tries to push Bing search results too hard at time. The Copliot Pro Plan costs Rs 2000 per month.
Perplexity is all over the news these days. It is like Google Search but smarter. It gives you AI-generated replies with sources so you may examine the facts right away. In a world where AI has to guess, this is one of the few tools that also tell you the source of the information. It is a good tool for students, journalists, and researchers. Best part you don’t have to create an account to use its basic features. However, it isn’t very great at writing creative pieces. The paid plan costs around Rs 1700.
Anthropic’s Claude.ai is great for deep talks and long chats. It is like that calm, wise friend who never gets angry. It can write well, summarise books, and understand the context of long conversations. You can talk to Claude 4 Sonnet for free, which is quite cool. The tool is good for students, authors, and researchers. The subscription plan starts at $20 a month
Grok 3 has been shrouded by controversies lately but it is also one of the top ChatGPT alternatives we have right now. It may not be the “best” ChatGPT alternative but it does the job well. It is better for real-time research and technical reasoning, data analysis, creativity, content creation, and general-purpose tasks. It is structured problem-solving and logical. However, it has a smaller context window compared to competitor.
