You don't need to pay $100s for AI tools.
These are the best FREE AI tool alternatives right now...
1. Image Generation
Ideogram creates incredible images and is excellent for generating text in images, which makes it a fantastic alternative to Midjourney.
And if you want to play with another great tool, check out Leonardo which is one of the most updated image generators on the market.
2. Video Generation
Runway has been the best publicly available generator for a long time, but you'll have to pay to get the full experience.
On the other hand, Sora is now (somewhat—requires a ChatGPT subscription) available with MiniMax being a very strong, free alternative.
3. Research
Perplexity is a great alternative to SciSummary and also provides more in-depth information than you'll get from ChatGPT.
Other LLMs to test out are Claude, Meta's Llama, or Mistral AI's models.
4. Text to Speech
ElevenLabs is and has been king of the audio space and their new reader app is fabulous and completely free to use.
However, there are some good alternatives like Free Text to Speech.
5. Podcasts
Podcastle has some of the best features for creating podcasts, but you'll need to pay to use them.
The good news is you can create a human-like audio conversation using NotebookLM from any text (you'll be impressed if you haven't tried it yet).
6. Shorts and Captions
Submagic is the most used and promoted, but you also have OpusClip, Capcut, and Filmora.
7. Design
Canva truly is the best option that money can buy, but not everyone may have the budget for it.
That's where Microsoft Designer comes in and it's completely free to use just like Copilot (GPT-4o Dall-E 3 alternative).
