Questions
Is there a free alternative to ChatGPT (Deep Research)?
Yes. 6 AI research assistants have a free plan, including Elicit, Claude (Research), Dust, Gemini Deep Research, ResearchRabbit.
How this page is made
Alternatives come from ChatGPT (Deep Research)'s own category, AI research assistants. Prices come from each vendor's pricing page and are compared at the same volume where both can be computed, and by starting price where neither can. "States that ChatGPT (Deep Research) doesn't" lists what we found on the other vendor's site and didn't find on ChatGPT (Deep Research)'s, which doesn't prove ChatGPT (Deep Research) lacks it. How prices are read.
