Tool by tool
Gemini
Gemini requires a Google account but offers the most generous free limits. Includes file uploads, image/video generation, and Google integrations. Often offers free promos for college students.
Microsoft Copilot
Copilot allows a few queries without login, with web-grounded answers and image generation when signed in. Built into Windows and Edge. Context retention over long chats is weaker than ChatGPT or Claude.
CLOVA X
CLOVA X is completely free with a Naver account, excelling in Korean phrasing and local info. It lags behind global tools in coding and complex reasoning, but produces the most natural formal Korean.
뤼튼
Wrtn is ad-supported, letting you switch between models like ChatGPT and Claude in one app. It includes image generation and character chats, with plenty of templates tailored for students.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek offers free reasoning mode and search with simple signup, excelling at math and logic. Since data is stored on servers in China, avoid sharing sensitive info. Speeds may slow during peak hours.
How to choose
Free chatbots differ in what is actually included for free. For quick questions without signup, choose ChatGPT or Copilot. For generous file and image allowances, pick Gemini. CLOVA X is great for natural Korean writing, while Wrtn lets you compare multiple models. DeepSeek offers great reasoning for free, but keep data privacy in mind before upgrading to paid tiers.
