Free AI tools for Indian businesses
23 of the 35 AI products we track have a genuine free way in — either fully free or a usable free tier.

Where a tool is freemium, its detail page spells out exactly where the free plan stops and what the paid upgrade costs in INR. Time-limited trials are not counted here.
