The Free AI Sites Kit

12 AI sites with a real free plan: what you get, the catch, and how to start (2026, India edition)

Most "free AI tools" are hidden trials. This kit covers 12 sites whose free plans actually refill, checked on each site's own pricing page in October 2026.

For every tool: the exact free limit, the catch nobody mentions, a 3-step quick start, and one practical way to use it.

Plus 3 free workflows, a 6-point "is it really free?" check, and every link on one page.

PDF ebook, 15 A5 pages, made for reading on a phone.
