A hands-on ZDNET review ranks free AI chatbots by running 10 text tasks and 4 image prompts, finding ChatGPT the overall winner, followed by Copilot, Grok, Gemini, and Perplexity, with Claude, DeepSeek, and Meta AI trailing. The article highlights notable strengths (e.g., ChatGPT’s broad competence, Copilot’s integration, Grok’s personable itineraries, Gemini’s strong images) and weaknesses (e.g., inconsistent web summarization, coding issues, login and throttling quirks), and briefly notes premium tiers and resource limits. Overall, it concludes that free tiers now deliver substantial capability, though performance varies by task and vendor policies.
