ChatGPT took the internet by storm when it was first introduced to the public in November 2022. With the ability to fulfil various tasks such as answering complex queries, drafting relevant and creative content, solving mathematical equations, and more such prompts that are in its scope, it can do it all. Soon after its release, many companies and developers started developing their own version of ChatGPT that offer different features and benefits. With ChatGPT being locked behind a paywall to access all of its functionality, in this article we will be taking a look at the best free alternatives to ChatGPT that are easily accessible from the web and mobile applications.

1. Bing AI
Kicking off the list with Bing AI, this AI chatbot possesses all the features and functionality of ChatGPT.
Key features
- Based on OpenAI’s own GPT-4 language model, Bing AI lets you carry out tons of prompts be it writing emails, blogs, video scripts, summarising a book or a novel, solving programming or coding-related problems, and much more.
- Besides that, since it’s a search engine, Bing AI also goes over and beyond other AI chatbots by pulling actual fresh data from the Internet that helps users get the latest information with regards to their prompt.
- Unlike ChatGPT which requires a subscription to access the GPT-4 model, Microsoft allows limitless access to Bing AI for free without any restrictions on the language model.
In order to access Bing AI, users will have to join the waitlist through Bing’s website or Edge browser. For easier access, Microsoft has also integrated Bing AI into Windows 11’s taskbar as well as on Edge for both PC and mobile.
2. Google Bard
Bard is Google’s answer to OpenAI’s Chat GPT. Built from the ground up using the search giant’s own LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) technology that provides users with relevant, appropriate, and creative answers to their prompts or queries.
Key features
- Just like ChatGPT, Bard can help you in planning for a certain event such as a party or a road trip, draft emails, poems, and articles, and even summarise complex topics that are easy to understand.
- To enhance the productivity of the users, Google is also bringing its generative AI tech to its own services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Messages, and others.
Initially, Bard was released for a handful of selected users to test out its performance in a real-world scenario. But with the conclusion of Google’s yearly mega event, I/O 2023, the conversational AI is now accessible to everyone having a Gmail account through a dedicated website.
3. YouChat
YouChat is a conversational AI model developed by You.com, an AI-based search engine.
Key features
- It can carry out various functions such as answering general queries, summarising content, generating ideas, writing codes, and many more text-based prompts.
- Since it’s backed by a search engine, the results provided are up to date with the latest information possible.
This ChatGPT alternative is currently free to use and can be accessed through it’s official website.
4. Quora Poe
Poe stands for ‘Platform for Open Exploration’. As the full form suggests, it is a platform that clubs different AI chatbots under a single umbrella including ChatGPT itself.
Key features
- With the integration of so many models, users can experiment and play around with various kinds of prompts.
- All the chatbots present on the platform are able to quickly provide answers without any difficulties.
Initially available on just iPhones, Poe can now be accessed on the web as well as on Android through the Google Play Store. Quora Poe plans to add more conversational chatbots to Poe as time goes on.
5. Perplexity AI
Perplexity AI is yet another ChatGPT alternative that is trained and built on OpenAI’s model which allows it to perform and respond fairly well to even complex prompts and queries.
Key features
- Each response from the AI is accompanied by source links that allow users to exactly know where the bot is fetching the information from, just like Bing AI.
- Right below the text bar, there are several sources to choose from such as Reddit and YouTube.
- Based on the user’s selection, the AI will generate the results accordingly from those specific sources. This is something which other AI chatbots don’t possess.
To make things in its favour, Perplexity AI does not require any sign-ups or account creation. People can head over to its website and start enjoying the services it has to offer. Users can also download the AI as an app on their Android mobile phones and iPhones.
