Rows of this table marked low confidence: 5 of 23. Every value is copied from pricing-baseline-2026-10.csv without rounding; an empty cell means the baseline holds no value for that field. A tool is in the table when the free tier column of its rows says yes, and each of its plan rows with a monthly price of 0 is a row of the table. A row with a per usage billing unit is a plan with no base fee whose usage is charged; where the baseline holds its rates, they are in the limits. A tool shown with no plan row at a monthly price of 0 has a free allowance that the baseline records in another way, and its page shows it. The free tier column is what one read of the pricing page found on the snapshot date, and a free trial is not counted as a free tier. The tools were picked by a terms and robots.txt check, not by market share, so this is not a full list of tools with a free tier, and it is not a ranking or buying advice.
