For most people, ChatGPT is the best all-rounder, Claude is best for writing, Gemini is best if you live in Google Workspace, and Perplexity is best for research with sources. Beyond chat, Runway leads AI video, ElevenLabs leads AI voice, GitHub Copilot and Cursor lead coding, and Fathom and Fireflies lead meeting notes. The right pick depends on what you want to do, which is what the filters on this page are for.
Most major AI tools have a genuinely useful free tier. Paid plans start around ₱600 to ₱1,231 a month (roughly US$10 to US$20). Billing is usually in USD, so the peso figure moves a little with the exchange rate and 12% VAT.
Paid AI plans typically run about A$15 to A$33 a month for individuals (around US$10 to US$20), with most tools offering a free tier to start. Use the currency switch on this page to see every price in Australian dollars.
A tool is an app you open and use, like ChatGPT, Canva or Grammarly. A model is the engine underneath it, like GPT, Claude or DeepSeek, priced per million tokens for developers who build software. Many brands offer both.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Canva and Grammarly all have free tiers. Filter this page by "Free" to see every option you can start using without paying.
Open-weight models lead on value. DeepSeek runs about US$0.28 per million output tokens; Meta's Llama starts around US$0.15 per million input tokens; and Chinese open-weight models GLM-5.2 and Kimi deliver near-frontier reasoning at a fraction of closed-model prices, with GLM-5.2 currently the strongest open-weight model. Note the data-residency questions that come with China-hosted APIs — the open weights can be run on Western infrastructure to avoid this.
Every tool and model listed on this page is available in both the Philippines and Australia. Where data-residency or local billing differs, we note it on the entry.
Claude is our pick for writing and long documents, Midjourney for the best-looking images, and Perplexity for sourced research. Use the "I want to…" filter to jump straight to each.
For most creators, Runway is the best all-round AI video tool; Kling and MiniMax Hailuo offer the most realistic motion at the lowest price (both Chinese-hosted — use the international domains); Pika has the best free tier; and HeyGen and Synthesia are best for avatar/presenter and training videos. Note OpenAI's Sora consumer app was discontinued in 2026.
ElevenLabs is the clear leader for AI voice and cloning, with a US$6 entry to commercial rights. For music, Suno is the mainstream pick and Udio the higher-fidelity alternative — though Udio paused downloads in 2026 during a label licensing change, so check before relying on it.
Fathom and Fireflies have the most generous free tiers; Otter is the dependable transcription workhorse; Granola is best if you don't want a bot joining the call; and NotebookLM is best for turning your own documents into cited research and audio summaries.
GitHub Copilot is the everyday default inside your editor; Cursor is the favourite AI-native editor for whole-codebase work; Claude Code is best for large repositories; and Lovable, Bolt and Replit let non-developers build working apps from a prompt. Devin's autonomous agent now starts at US$20/mo, down from US$500.
They're reachable in both countries (use the international domains), but Chinese-origin tools — Kling, MiniMax Hailuo, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM — raise data-residency and content-moderation questions, since data may be processed in China and prompts can be filtered to local rules. For sensitive or business use, prefer the open-weight ones (Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Qwen) run via Western hosting, or a model with in-region hosting.
