Yes. 5 AI search engines have a free plan, including Slab, Notion, Brave Search API, Google Cloud Search / Vertex AI Search, You.com.
How this page is made
Alternatives come from Slack AI Search's own category, AI search engines. 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 Slack AI Search doesn't" lists what we found on the other vendor's site and didn't find on Slack AI Search's, which doesn't prove Slack AI Search lacks it. How prices are read.
