FreemiumAI assistant with strong reasoning and coding. Free tier with Claude Sonnet.
About Claude
Claude by Anthropic is an AI assistant known for thoughtful, nuanced responses and strong coding abilities. The free tier provides access to Claude Sonnet for conversations, document analysis, and code generation.
Where Claude Stands Out
Claude is particularly strong at reasoning through complex problems, writing and reviewing code, and working with long documents. Its 200K token context window means you can paste an entire codebase or lengthy document and get meaningful analysis.
What You Get on the Free Plan
- Claude Sonnet access - Anthropic's balanced model for speed and capability
- File uploads - Analyze PDFs, code files, images, and documents
- Image understanding - Describe, analyze, and extract information from images
- Code generation - Write, review, debug, and explain code in any language
- Long context - Work with documents up to 200K tokens (roughly 500 pages)
- Projects - Organize conversations and files into workspaces
What to Know
The free plan has daily message limits that reset every few hours. For heavy usage, the $20/month Pro plan provides significantly higher limits and access to Claude Opus for the most demanding tasks.

When to upgrade to a paid plan
