"Cheapest" really means best value. A truly free tier you can live in beats a $5 plan that still limits everything. Below we rank on value-for-money: apps with the most usable free experience first, then those with the most generous low-cost plans. Pricing changes often, so always confirm current rates on the app's own site.
Prices and plans change frequently and vary by region/promotion. We describe each app's pricing model rather than quoting exact figures, so this guide stays accurate. Check the app for current pricing.

How to get the most for your money
- Start free. Use the free tier to confirm the app clicks before paying.
- Watch for intro discounts. Many apps discount the first month heavily.
- Match features to needs. Don't pay for image generation or voice if you only want chat.
- Avoid auto-renew surprises. Check the renewal price, not just the intro price.
