Pricing reality
Every tool in this directory has a free tier — but free tiers vary enormously. Some are genuinely useful with no time limit (Canva free, Claude free, Codeium free). Others are essentially trials — enough to evaluate the tool but not enough for sustained professional use. A few are free only for the API, with the polished interface requiring payment.
For Erasmus+ project budgets, the most important question is not "is it free?" but "is the free tier sufficient for our specific use case?" A tool that is free but has a 30-minute monthly limit is not free for a team running weekly workshops.
Always verify current pricing on the official site before committing to a tool for a funded project.
The best AI tool is not the most powerful one — it's the one your team will actually use consistently. Start with one tool, learn it well, then expand.
