Free tiers have gotten surprisingly capable. Here are the tools I recommend starting with:
- ChatGPT for general assistance
- Claude for long-form reading and writing
- Google Gemini for search-connected answers
- Canva AI for quick social graphics
- GitHub Copilot free tier for small coding tasks
Start free, learn the workflows, then upgrade only where you feel real daily value.
