Ho provato 12 Tool AI GRATIS Nuovi (Distruggono quelli a Pagamento)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overall premise / evaluation
- The creator claims they tested many free AI tools over months and argues that 12 free options can outperform paid alternatives, potentially saving hundreds of euros.
- The video is organized into categories: brains (LLMs/search), creatives (images/design/presentations), builders (apps/automation), and surprises (music + advanced Google media tools).
- Repeated theme: free plans are surprisingly capable, but limitations often relate to privacy (VPN), upload/file size restrictions, or free-tier credit caps.
Block 1 — “Brains” (LLMs + research)
1) DeepSeek (“Deep PSC” in subtitles)
- Free + unlimited chat via web/app: no paywalls, no message limits (as stated by the creator).
- Uses a unified model (V3.2) that automatically switches between:
- fast chat
- deep reasoning
- Performance highlights:
- Strong reasoning performance (as emphasized).
- Mentions V3 Special allegedly winning gold in the 2025 International Mathematics/CS Olympiad.
- Rumored V4: claims of ~1000B parameters, up to ~1M token context, and multimodal capabilities (text/images/video in one model).
- How to use now:
- Access through VPN (privacy concern; servers in China mentioned), then deepsic.com.
- Supports file/document upload for complex questions.
- Developer bonus:
- 5M free tokens for API startup; pricing described as much cheaper than OpenAI.
- Best fit: complex reasoning and logic problems.
- Main downside: privacy + need for VPN.
2) Qwen (“Quen 3.6”)
- Presented as an all-in-one free model from Alibaba, with:
- A single interface for text + images + videos + documents + coding + advanced search + artifacts
- No obvious limits/paywalls (as described for the free tier)
- Practical demo workflow:
- Upload a PDF → it extracts/breaks down key points.
- In the same conversation → generate an image cover, then landing page code.
- Language support emphasized: 200+ languages/dialects including Italian.
- Mentions:
- Omni capabilities (audio/video durations).
- OmniPlus scoring high in “art scores” (metric not clearly specified).
- Best framing: do “everything” without paying CGPT Plus-like subscriptions.
3) Perplexity
- Positioned as a chat + search hybrid rather than classic LLM chat.
- Strength: answers include inline sources/citations directly under statements.
- Free plan (as claimed):
- Unlimited/basic searches
- 5 Pro searches/day for deeper multi-step reasoning
- “How to use best” tips:
- Treat it like an analyst, not Google: ask specific, complex questions.
- For video prep, request complete overviews with updated data.
- In free tier, you can paste URLs/text for analysis.
- Limitations vs Pro:
- Cannot upload large files.
- No access to some premium models (as referenced: latest Claude/“Cloud”/GPT models).
- Outlook: the creator mentions computer mode potentially becoming powerful for agentic use.
Block 2 — “Creatives” (images/design/presentations)
4) Leonardo AI
- Free tier described as 150 tokens/day, resetting every 24 hours.
- Token economics:
- Example: one standard image uses about 5–8 tokens
- Roughly 20–30 images/day
- Key free-tier trick:
- “Relaxed Generation mode” (claimed) allows indefinite generation (slower queue).
- Creative/product features:
- Multiple models (e.g., Phoenix, Flux, others).
- Canvas editor for post-generation edits:
- inpainting/outpainting, background removal, upscaling, etc.
- Real-time canvas:
- hand-drawn sketch → transforms into a professional image while you watch
- Commercial rights (as stated):
- Free use includes a non-exclusive commercial license
- Private images require a paid plan
- Differentiation: framed as the practical + affordable option.
5) Ideogram (Idogram)
- Niche strength: highly readable text inside generated images (logos/posters/social graphics).
- Creator claim: ~85% accuracy for correct, legible typography (higher than typical generators).
- Free plan:
- 10 slow credits/week (reset weekly)
- Each prompt generates 4 images → up to ~40 images/week
- Practical use:
- Generate a logo with correct text
- Prompt with style cues (e.g., “typographer”, “poster”)
- Suggested replacement: can substitute for Canva for many use cases.
- Pricing hint: Basic plan ~€8/month (as stated).
6) Gamma App
- Claimed traction: 50M+ users.
- Core feature: create presentations/documents/landing pages from a prompt in <60 seconds.

- Exports:
- PDF, PowerPoint, PNG, Google Slides, etc. (not locked in)
- Automation:
- Mentions API generation and 8,000+ integrations (Zapier/Make-style)
- “Import” feature:
- Upload existing PDF/Word/PowerPoint/URL → Gamma restructures and you can modify, then export
- Framed as replacing Canva Pro for these workflows.
Block 3 — “Builders” (app + workflow creation)
7) Google Gemini Studio — “Build”
- Treated as “Gemini on steroids” for building apps.
- Build flow:
- Gemini Studio → Build
- Choose the model, add prompts, enable “supercharge” Google integrations/features
- Demo:
- Prompt to generate an app that creates Instagram hooks in a slot-machine style
- Emphasis: output is super functional
- Prompt-building help:
- “Discovery/Remix App” gallery of working apps/workflows
- Or ask Gemini to write a high-quality build prompt following best practices
- Positioning:
- Replaces Bolt/Lovable/Replit-like tools for many simpler apps
- Complex apps still need code/platform tools
8) Google Opal (automation competitor)
- Presented as simpler than n8n/Zapier.

Block 4 — “Surprises” (music + advanced Google media tools)
10) Suno AI
- Presented as uniquely able to generate complete songs (vocals + instruments + arrangement/mix) from a text prompt.
- Free trial:
- 50 credits/day, resets at midnight
- Each generation produces two variants, costing ~10 credits
- Creator estimate: about 10 songs/day
- Two creation modes:
- Simple mode: describe the song in natural language + lyrics
- Custom mode: specify genre/mood/tempo and more details
- Workflow:
- Generate <2 minutes, listen to both variants, then use continue to extend
- Important monetization note:
- Free trial songs are personal use only; not for monetizing on Spotify/YouTube
- Pro needed for commercial use
11) “Nano Banana Pro” (Google’s image generation tool: “Gemini + banana symbol”)
- Claimed to be state-of-the-art for image generation and easier than many competitors.
- Usage paths:
- Inside Gemini (free) via the banana tool symbol
- Also referenced via Google Studio (some functions may be paid)
- Recommendation:
- Activate the “reasoning model” for better understanding
