Free code AI tools
11 code AI tools we track publish a free plan or free tier, including Cline, Emergent, Wegic, Windsurf, Lovable. 1 are free outright; 10 pair a free tier with paid upgrades.
A tier named "Free Trial" is not counted as a free plan: we read the vendor's plan name and price. Every figure is copied from the vendor's own pricing page and re-checked on a schedule. No invented free tiers.

People also ask
What free code AI tools are there?
We currently list 11 code tools with a free plan or free tier. 1 are free with no paid requirement in our data. Open any tool page for the exact plan names and limits we last confirmed.
Is a free trial the same as a free plan?
No. Trials expire. We only count a free plan when the vendor publishes a $0 tier that is not named as a trial, or when the tool's pricing model is free/freemium and we have not confirmed a conflicting trial-only $0 row.
Do free tools include affiliate links?
Some tools have affiliate partnerships; those visits are disclosed next to the button. Partnership never changes whether a free plan is listed or how the tool is described.
