Start with Tabbit when the work spans tabs.

A practical choice for research, office work and agents that need your browser. Start free; model access and task allowances depend on your plan and edition.

04 / Free plans & AI costs

Is a free AI browser really free?

A free browser does not mean every AI feature is free forever or unlimited. Some products offer free allowances, trials or selected free features. More models and tasks often require a subscription, purchased credits, your own API key or an existing model subscription and token allowance. Bringing your own key or plan reuses a cost you already pay; local models still use your hardware.

05 / FAQ

Questions before you switch

What is an AI browser?

An AI browser combines ordinary browsing with page-aware chat, summaries, writing or task execution. An agentic browser can also navigate and interact with websites. These capabilities vary by product and plan.

Which AI browser is really free?

Check both the browser license and the AI allowance. A free download may include limited AI, a trial or no assistant queries. Paid plans can add model access, credits or task capacity.

Why does this directory recommend Tabbit?

Tabbit combines multi-model assistance, page and file context, browser tasks, Skills and a CLI for coding agents. That combination suits work that crosses several tabs. Other products may fit a particular ecosystem or platform better.

Has ChatGPT Atlas closed?

Yes. OpenAI retired Atlas, with service scheduled to stop on August 9, 2026. It is listed here as a historical product, not a current download recommendation.

Has Fellou stopped being maintained?

Its official site still lists downloads and plans. A limited public release history does not establish that development has stopped. Confirm current releases and support before paying.

A browser that can help finish the work.

Try Tabbit with a real task: compare sources, work with a spreadsheet or give your coding agent access to the web.
