Free AI For That

Verification Policy

Last updated 19 October 2026

This policy explains how Free AI For That ("FAFT", "we", "us") at freeaiforthat.com finds the tools it lists, checks that each tool's free offer is real, keeps that information current, and corrects it when it changes. FAFT is run by Sprout Design Private Limited, A-6/101, Olive County, Sector 5, Vasundhara, Ghaziabad 201012, Uttar Pradesh, India.

It applies to every listing on the site, including listings that makers pay for. It should be read with our Terms of Use, Disclosure & how we rank and Sponsor policy.

1. Our commitment

Every free offer we describe is supported by evidence from one of two sources:

  1. The tool maker's own website, quoted exactly, with a link to the page and the date we read it; or
  2. Our own test, in which a member of our team signed up for the free plan.

We don't rely on review sites, blogs, deal sites or other directories as evidence, and we don't guess. Where we can't confirm a detail, we show it as unknown.

2. What qualifies for a listing

A tool is listed only if it is an AI tool and it can be used free of charge for at least one month.

A tool counts as an AI tool when:

  • its main job is done with artificial intelligence, for example writing, images, video, audio, code, search, transcription, data analysis or agents; or
  • it exists to build, run or evaluate AI, for example model APIs, AI agent frameworks, vector databases or AI monitoring.

A product with AI features is listed only for those AI features, and only if they're included in its free offer. Software that is merely used alongside AI, such as general hosting, databases, forms or email marketing, isn't listed, even when it's free.

The free offer must be one of the following:

  • a free plan with no end date that performs the tool's main function, not only a demonstration (its limits may reset, for example 100 tasks a month);
  • free credits or tokens that top up every day, week, month or year;
  • a free trial of 30 days or more;
  • one-time free credits that remain usable for 30 days or more;
  • open-source software you can run yourself, or an application that is free when you supply your own API key from an AI provider (the provider's charges are yours, and the listing says so);
  • a paid plan offered free by the maker for a fixed period of at least 30 days, with the end date shown; or
  • free access during a beta, where the maker states this on its own website.

A tool is not listed if:

  • it isn't an AI tool;
  • its trial is shorter than 30 days, or charges a payment method before 30 days have passed;
  • its free plan is a demonstration only, or cannot perform the tool's main function;
  • its only free offer is a coupon, a reseller deal or a promotion published by someone other than the maker;
  • its free offer has ended; or
  • we cannot confirm its free offer from the maker's own pages.

Each listed tool is placed in one of these kinds of free, which are explained on What free means here. We also record how to get the free offer, for example whether you need to create an account.

  • One kind per tool. Where an offer could fit more than one kind, the time-limited kinds come first (beta, a paid plan offered free for a period, a trial, one-time credits), so a tool is never shown as free to keep while its free access can end.
  • Best evidence first. A kind confirmed from the maker's own words takes priority over our researched record of the offer, which takes priority over the other details we hold.
  • No guessing for "no paid plan". We place a tool under "no paid plan at all", or "a paid plan offered free for a fixed period", only when the maker's own pages confirm it. Wording such as "100% free" isn't enough, because makers often say it about a free plan of a paid product.
  • When nothing fits. If the facts we hold don't support any kind, we don't assign one. The tool stays listed, but isn't shown under a kind or chosen as a pick until we've checked it again.

3. Sources of evidence

Accepted as evidence

  • The maker's official website: pricing and plan pages, frequently asked questions, help and documentation pages, terms of service, privacy policy and signup pages, on the tool's own domain or the maker's official documentation or help site, and, for open-source tools, the maker's official code repository and licence.
  • Our own signup test.

Not accepted as evidence

  • Review sites, blogs, news articles, social media posts, deal and coupon sites, app marketplaces, reseller pages and other directories. We may treat these as prompts to check the maker's own pages, but never as proof.

How we attribute statements

  • Where a fact rests on the maker's statement, we present it as the maker's statement. For example: "They say no card is needed."
  • Where we have confirmed a fact through our own signup test, we state it directly. For example: "No card needed." We show this only after completing the maker's signup ourselves without entering payment details.
  • Statements about whether a maker uses your content to train AI come only from that maker's own privacy policy or terms about its own handling of data. We don't infer them from the practices of third-party AI providers.

4. How we find tools

Tools reach us in three ways:

  1. Our own research, including product announcements, open-source projects, newsletters, social media and other directories. These are leads only.
  2. Suggestions from the public through our Submit page.
  3. Applications from makers who wish to list their tool (see section 10).

Every tool, however it reaches us, goes through the same checks. Before checking a tool, we confirm it isn't already listed by comparing its website, its name and any former names, so that each tool appears once.

5. Checks before a tool is listed

  1. Official website. We identify the tool's official domain and confirm it belongs to the maker rather than a reseller.
  2. AI tool. From the maker's own pages, we confirm that the tool is an AI tool under section 2 and, for a product with AI features, that those features are included in the free offer.
  3. Free offer. From the maker's pricing page, we record the type of free offer, how long it lasts, its stated limits (for example, "50 images a day"), whether payment details are required, and what the free plan excludes.
  4. Evidence. For each fact, we record the maker's exact words, the address of the page and the date we read it, and we confirm that the quoted words appear on that page.
  5. Supporting pages. Where the pricing page is incomplete, we consult the maker's other official pages, such as its FAQ, help pages and terms. Anything that remains unconfirmed is shown as unknown.
  6. Qualification. We apply the rules in section 2 in the same way to every tool. If the free offer itself cannot be confirmed, the tool is not listed.
  7. Kind of free. Using the rules in section 2, we place the tool in the one kind of free that matches the offer we recorded and, where the maker's pages show it, record how to get it, for example whether an account is needed.
  8. Signup test. Before we state that no card is needed, and before any paid listing is published, a member of our team signs up for the tool's free plan.
  9. Approval. A member of our team approves each new listing before it's published.

6. Records we keep

For each fact about a free offer, we keep:

  • the maker's exact words;
  • the address of the page they appear on;
  • the date we read them;
  • the kind of free the tool is placed in and, where we've recorded it, how to get the free offer; and
  • for facts based on our own signup test, the date of the test.

Where a maker doesn't publish a detail, we record it as unknown and never treat it as satisfying our rule. Each tool page shows the date its free offer was last checked and links to the page we checked, so readers can review the source themselves.

7. Keeping listings current

Makers change their offers, so we re-check listings after they are published.

  • Check date. Each tool page shows when its free offer was last checked. The older a check, the lower the tool sits in our rankings, until it's confirmed again (see How we rank).
  • Reports. When a reader or maker tells us an offer has changed, we re-check the maker's own pages (see section 11).
  • Daily re-checks (being introduced). We are introducing an automated daily re-check of every listed tool. Each day it will reopen the page we quoted. Where the maker's words are unchanged, the offer is confirmed and the check date updated. Where they have changed, the new wording is reviewed as described in section 8, including whether the tool still belongs in the same kind of free. Where a page can't be reached for three days in a row, a member of our team reviews it.
  • Kind of free from the maker's own words (being introduced). We are also moving to place each tool in its kind of free only from a quotation on the maker's own pages, kept with the other evidence, and to review the kind of every listed tool as part of the first full daily re-check.
  • Saved copies (being introduced). With daily re-checks, we will also keep a saved copy of each page we quote, so we can show what it said on the date we read it.

We will update this policy when these measures are in place.

8. Changes and removals

  1. Review. Before we change a listing because its free offer has become less generous, or remove a listing because its free offer has ended, a member of our team reviews the evidence from the maker's own pages. Once daily re-checks are in place, such a change must also appear on two checks at least one day apart.
  2. Update. If a tool no longer meets section 2 (for example, its free offer ends, or its AI features leave the free plan), it's removed from the site, and any award or pick it holds is withdrawn at once.
  3. Public record. We record changes to free offers on our Free plan changes page, with a link to the maker's source and the date the maker gives for the change.
  4. Announced changes. Where a maker announces a future change, such as the end of a free plan on a set date, we record it on the day we see the notice, with the maker's own words and date. The tool stays listed until that date.

A change in a tool's kind of free (for example, a free plan that becomes a time-limited trial) is treated as a change to its free offer and reviewed in the same way. Improvements to free offers go through the same review and are recorded in the same way.

9. Use of automated tools and AI

We use automated tools, including AI models, to read makers' pages and to prepare proposed facts and evidence. Automated tools don't publish listings or changes. We confirm that every quotation appears on its source page, and decisions to list a tool, to remove it, or to change its free facts for the worse are taken by our team.

Before we rely on the daily re-checks described in section 7, we will test them against a set of tools whose free offers our team has checked by hand, and we will repeat that test regularly.

Makers may pay to list their tool, under our Sponsor policy. Payment does not change how a tool is checked:

  • a paid listing must meet section 2, and is checked in the same way as every other listing;
  • a member of our team tests its free plan before it's published;
  • it's marked "Paid listing" wherever it appears, and its tool page says it was listed by the maker; and
  • it's ranked by the same formula as every other tool.

If a paid listing's free offer ends, the listing is removed under section 8, and any unused paid time is refunded.

11. Corrections and disputes

If you believe a listing is wrong, email ankit@sproutdesign.ai with the subject "Correction: <tool name>" and a link to the maker's page.

  • We check each report against the maker's own pages, not against the report alone.
  • We correct facts within 3 business days.
  • Makers can ask us to correct a fact (with a link to their pricing page), replace a logo, or remove their tool. We remove a tool within 24 hours of a verified request from the maker's official domain.
  • Complaints under the IT Rules are handled by our Grievance Officer within the timelines on our Takedown & Contact page.

12. Limitations

  • Scope. We check the free offer, not the whole product. We don't test every feature, and a listing isn't an endorsement.
  • Variation. Offers can differ by country, currency or type of account. We record what the maker's page shows, and note regional limits where the maker states them.
  • Timing. Offers can change between our checks. Always confirm the current terms on the maker's website before signing up or sharing payment details.
  • Your own costs. "Free" doesn't include costs you bear yourself, such as hardware or hosting for open-source tools, or charges from an AI provider when you use your own API key. Listings say where these apply.

Our Disclaimer and Terms of Use also apply.

13. Changes to this policy

We update this policy, and the date at the top of the page, before a change to how we find or check tools takes effect.
