Kimi is free to start, and that is the fastest way to summarise Moonshot AI’s pricing. The Kimi app gives you unlimited basic chat, file uploads and web search on a $0 Adagio plan, while paid memberships climb from $19 a month to $199 a month for heavy agent and coding use. If you build on the API instead, you pay per token, and the flagship Kimi K3 costs $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. That gap between a free chat app and a metered developer API is the whole story of Kimi pricing, and it trips up most buyers. This guide breaks down every […]

xAI now sells Grok across six consumer tiers plus a separate developer API, and the price spread between them is huge. The free tier costs $0, X Premium is $8 per month, SuperGrok Lite is $10 per month, SuperGrok is $30 per month, X Premium+ is $40 per month, and SuperGrok Heavy sits at the top at $300 per month. On the API side, the new flagship Grok 4.5 (released July 8, 2026) runs $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens at a 500k token context window, with the prior Grok 4.3 still available cheaper at $1.25 / $2.50 and Grok 4.1 Fast as low as […]

Genspark AI pricing runs across three core plans: a Free tier at $0, a Plus plan at $24.99 per month, and a Pro plan at $249.99 per month, with annual billing cutting both paid tiers by roughly 20%. Every plan runs on a credit system, so the real question is not just the sticker price but how fast those credits burn on heavy tasks like video, slides, and AI phone calls. This guide breaks down exactly what each Genspark plan costs, what you get for the money, and how the credit math works in practice. You’ll see the full price table, a plain-English explanation of what drains credits fastest, the […]

Mistral AI pricing runs on two separate tracks, and the headline number is hard to beat. The Le Chat consumer app starts at $0/month and tops out at $14.99/month for Pro, while the developer API charges per million tokens, starting around $0.10. That makes Mistral one of the cheapest ways to reach a frontier model in 2026, and the flagship Mistral Large 3 undercuts GPT-5.6 by roughly 90% on input and 95% on output. This guide breaks down every price you care about, the four Le Chat plans, the full API rate card per million tokens, the free tier limits, and how the numbers stack up against ChatGPT, Claude, and […]

Qwen pricing splits into two very different paths, and most people only need the free one. The Qwen Chat app is completely free with no subscription, while developers pay per token through the API, where rates run from $0.05 per million input tokens on the cheapest model up to $3.75 per million output tokens on the flagship Qwen3.7-Max. That roughly 75x spread between the cheapest and the flagship rate is the single most important thing to understand before you choose a model. This guide breaks down every part of Qwen pricing for 2026, including the free Qwen Chat app, the pay-as-you-go API rates for each model, the input-size tiers that […]

Midjourney pricing in 2026 splits into four plans, Basic at $10/month, Standard at $30/month, Pro at $60/month, and Mega at $120/month, with a 20% discount if you pay annually. There is no free trial, so the cheapest way in is the $10 Basic plan, or $8/month when billed yearly. Every tier buys you a fixed block of fast GPU time rather than a set number of images, which is the single most misunderstood part of how Midjourney charges. This guide breaks down each plan, what you actually get for the money, and how Midjourney’s GPU-hour system turns into a real cost per image. You will see the full comparison table, […]

MiniMax pricing spans three separate products under one brand, and that is exactly why it confuses people. The Hailuo AI video generator runs from a free tier up to $199.99/month, the MiniMax API now prices its whole M-series at a flat $0.30 per million on the official sheet, with resellers like OpenRouter cutting MiniMax M2.5 to as little as $0.12, and the developer Token Plan starts at $10/month. Whichever one you came for, the numbers below are current as of July 2026. The naming is the first hurdle. Hailuo AI is MiniMax’s consumer video app, MiniMax is the company and its API brand, and searches like “hailuo minimax pricing” mix […]

Anthropic does not offer a public, individually-redeemable student discount on Claude Pro in 2026. There is no .edu signup form, no promo code at checkout, and no “Education” tab inside claude.ai. Verified students get Claude cheaper through four legitimate routes: Claude for Education (free Pro at partner universities), the Claude Campus Program (Ambassadors and Builder Clubs), the GitHub Student Developer Pack (Claude Haiku 4.5 by default, Sonnet and Opus via Auto mode), and free Anthropic API credits. Credits run ~$50 for Student Builders and $1,000 for academic researchers. Everyone else can drop Claude Pro from $20/month to $17/month by switching to annual billing. This guide breaks down every real way […]

Only two flagship AI Pro tiers currently offer a public free trial in July 2026: Google AI Pro (30 days, card required, renews at $19.99/month) and Microsoft Copilot Pro (1 month, card required, renews at $20/month). Cursor quietly removed its Pro trial earlier in 2026, ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro have never offered a public trial, and X Premium and Midjourney do not run one either. Everything else you have read about “ChatGPT Plus free trial” or “Claude Pro free trial” is either a single-use referral invite, a retention offer, an account-sharing service, or an outright scam. This master list covers every AI tool with a legitimate free trial in […]

ChatGPT Personal Finance is the biggest expansion of ChatGPT’s role in your daily life since memory, and it’s also the most polarizing. OpenAI launched the Personal Finance preview on May 15, 2026, for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the United States only. Plaid powers the bank connections, with support for more than 12,000 banks, brokerages, and credit cards, including Chase, Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, American Express, and Capital One. Once your accounts are linked, ChatGPT can read balances, transactions, investments, and liabilities, and answer real questions about your money grounded in your actual numbers, not a generic financial textbook. For the bigger question of whether software can actually beat the market, see […]
