AI Dev Tool Pricing & Free-Tier Tracker
Which AI dev tools have a real free tier, what the free plan actually includes, and what paid starts at — for all 40 tools we cover. This table is generated from the same data that powers the rest of the site and is updated automatically on every deploy, so it never drifts from what our reviews say.
The data is free to reuse with attribution — link back to this page. If you want it as machine-readable JSON, it's at /api/tools (details in Use this data).
