Free AI Tools Online
Free AI utilities for developers, writers and anyone paying for an AI API. Count tokens and estimate the cost of a ChatGPT or Claude prompt before you send it. No account and no cost, with more tools on the way.
ChatGPT Token Counter
Count tokens for OpenAI models as you type, with an API cost estimate and a context window meter. Paste a prompt and see the count instantly, with no sign-up.
Claude Token Counter
Count tokens for Claude Opus, Sonnet and Haiku, with an API cost estimate and a calculator for what prompt caching saves.
Gemini Token Counter
Token counts and cost estimates for Google Gemini models, in the same format as the two counters beside it.

seo tools →The other side of AI is who gets to read your pages. The SEO Tools page has two tools for exactly that: build a robots.txt that blocks AI training bots such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot, then test which AI crawlers can still get in.

What these free AI tools are for
Each tool does one job that comes up constantly when you work with language models, instead of wrapping a chatbot in a new interface.
Controlling API spend
Every AI API charges per token, for your prompt and for the reply. The ChatGPT and Claude token counters show both before you pay for either.
Staying inside the context window
Each model has a limit on how much text it can take in at once. Checking the token count first tells you whether a long document fits, or needs splitting.
Comparing models
The same text costs a different amount on different models, and even tokenizes differently. Running a prompt through both counters shows the gap in numbers rather than guesses.
Learning how LLMs read text
Tokens are not words. Seeing how a sentence breaks into tokens is the quickest way to understand why a long word, a number or another language costs more than expected.
Token counts and prices are estimates meant for planning. Providers change prices and release new models often, so confirm the current rate on the provider's own pricing page before you rely on a figure for production budgeting.
FAQ
Free AI Tools Online: FAQs
What are free AI tools and how do they work?
+
Free AI tools are online utilities for tasks around AI models, such as counting tokens, estimating API costs or checking whether text fits a context window, without a subscription. The token counters on this page run in your browser, so you get the result the moment you paste your text.
Do I need to create an account to use Calcxi AI tools?
+
No. Every tool on Calcxi is free to use with no account, no email address, no sign-up and no credit card. Open the tool and start using it. There are no daily limits either, so use any tool as often as you need.
Are these AI tools safe to use with sensitive content?
+
The token counters work on the text inside your browser, and Calcxi does not store what you paste. Even so, treat any online tool with care before pasting confidential business data, and read Calcxi's Privacy Policy for the full details.
What is a token and why does it matter?
+
A token is the unit large language models like ChatGPT and Claude read text in. It is not exactly a word: a short common word is usually one token, while longer or rarer words can split into several. Tokens matter because AI APIs charge per token and every model has a maximum context window measured in tokens, so the count controls both cost and whether your text fits.
Which AI models do Calcxi tools support?
+
OpenAI models, including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1 and GPT-5, through the ChatGPT Token Counter, and Anthropic's Claude Opus, Sonnet and Haiku through the Claude Token Counter. A Gemini token counter is in development, and each tool page lists the exact model versions it covers.
How do I estimate AI API costs before making a call?
+
Paste your prompt into the matching token counter. It counts the tokens and applies the provider's published price per million tokens. Input tokens, your prompt, and output tokens, the model's reply, are priced separately, so the tool shows both.
Can free AI tools replace paid AI software?
+
For a single, well defined job, often yes: you do not need a paid platform just to count tokens or estimate a bill. Paid products earn their price on bigger workflows such as team collaboration, automation and monitoring. The idea here is a solid free tool for each small job, so you only pay for what genuinely needs a subscription.
Do these AI tools work on mobile phones and tablets?
+
Yes. Every tool is responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktops in any modern browser, with nothing to download or install.
What is the difference between an AI tool and a calculator?
+
A calculator applies a fixed formula to your numbers. The tools in this category work with the way AI models process text, such as how a prompt is split into tokens and what those tokens cost. Formula based calculators live in categories like Finance and Construction.
Are Calcxi AI tools accurate and kept up to date?
+
Counts and prices follow what OpenAI and Anthropic publish, and the tools are updated when models or prices change. Each tool page shows a Last Updated date and explains how its count is worked out, so you can see how current it is before relying on it.
Who should use AI token counters?
+
Anyone working with language models. Developers use them to stay inside context limits and control API spend, writers check prompt length before sending it to ChatGPT or Claude, researchers check whether a long document fits in one request, and students use them to see how models split text.
What AI tools is Calcxi building next?
+
A Gemini Token Counter, an AI cost comparison calculator for OpenAI, Anthropic and Google side by side, a prompt character counter and a context window visualiser. To ask for a specific AI tool, use the contact page, because user requests decide what gets built next.
Data source
Tokenizer behaviour and prices as published by OpenAI and Anthropic, rechecked when either changes.
Privacy
What you paste is used to show a count and is not stored by Calcxi.
Cost data
Prices come from provider rate cards. Verify them before production budgeting.
Disclaimer
Counts and costs are estimates for planning, not a bill. Your provider's dashboard is the final word.
